    Donn and Joe were excellent hosts. The breakfasts were wonderful that Joe prepared. We stayed for my birthday weekend and they made it special for us. We are excited for the remodeling they plan to do in the next few years and will definitely be back.

    A great place to stay while visiting the wineries along the river. Friendly owners, good food, and a comfortable room which felt like stepping back into history in the 150+ year old mansion.

    We really enjoyed our stay at Rivercene! Don and Joe are excellent hosts, and Lisa & Joe provided excellent breakfasts. The fresh fruit and cinnamon pecan rolls were divine and the egg souffles and casseroles were delicious. To expand on the service rating, I would add that Joe and Don were very attentive. The one recommendation I would like to offer is that they increase the number of wash cloths available. We did not ask for extra, but probably will when we return. We definitely want to stay there again, and look forward to following the progress of the restoration that they plan to do. Thanks for a wonderful and relaxing stay. It was also great that our room connected to that of our family. Thanks again to Joe, Don, & Lisa!

    We had been looking for an excuse to stay here for more than a year, when the opportunity arose this fall break. We decided to spend an autumn day on the Katy trail, and the Frencene provided the perfect destination. All the available rooms have been freshly repainted, and work continues on the restoration of the outside to 1860s splendor. We had a great time talking with Lisa, Joe and Donn regarding their efforts since purchasing the place in Jan 2011. Our only regret was not being able to spend two nights! Worth a destination as well as proximity to Lewis and Clark sites and the Katy trail are a tremendous plus. We look forward to another visity
