    It's Nita who makes the visit so much fun. She has a great personality, great food, & lets her guests come and go. She knows the history of the Riverview and the River Historic District. I always learn (and laugh) at the Riverview Guest House.

    Wonderful location in a leafy-green neighborhood. Nicely appointed rooms in a 100+ year old house. The best part was our friendly and gracious hosts who went out of their way to make our stay special and memorable.

    This is a very good place to stay, we only had a day to spend in Kankakee which is a shame as this is a very nice place to visit. Our host is very friendly and good to talk to, her home is full of a wide variety of treasures and interesting artifacts. As a guest you are made very welcome. The breakfast was excellent served on the patio were you can enjoy this charming surrounding. We are a couple visiting from the UK and we left pleased to have spent our time here.

    I loved sitting on the porch overlooking the big oak trees and eating the most delicious peach french toast!
