    Wonderful House and Breakfast

    April 29, 2013

    We returned after 15 years to this BandB and were wonderfully surprised at how much work has been done on the house. It is filled with antiques and very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent! The owners prepared a gluten-free breakfast for my wife, including a loaf of gluten-free bread. They very much exceeded our expectations!

    The real deal!

    April 10, 2013

    The Rivercene is right off the Katy bike trail. We had ridden over thirty miles on the trail before reaching the Mansion. We were tired and in need of R & R, the Riverscene was just the answer. We hope to get back on the Katy trail and stay at the mansion again. K & R from Minnesota

    Rivercene revisited :)

    March 13, 2013

    The new owners of Rivercene have really made a huge improvement with this beautiful mansion. The rooms are gorgeous, the food was delicious, their knowledge and history was phenomenal and to be quite honest, Don and Joe were a pleasure to be around. We will definitely be returning there for another stay! Thank you for a wonderful evening filled with history, drama, and a lot of laughs!!

    Rich history and relaxation!

    February 27, 2013

    My husband and I had the best weekend here! We both love history so we really enjoyed this mansion. The owner is very hospitable and gave us an hour and a half tour the first night we were there because we were the only guest. This place is being restored to its original state. The rooms are beautifully and appropriately decorated. There is very neat history in that house! Booneville is right across the bridge and there were lots of fun shops and places to eat. We would highly recommend this place to anyone.

    Outstanding B&B

    February 20, 2013

    Marc and I had a wonderful time while staying at Rivercene. The house with all of its history was amazing. A person just has to stay themselves to be able to grasp it all. Don is an amazing and very warm person that took excellent care of us!

    Great Host and History!

    December 24, 2012

    Joe, the innkeeper, was a super host. He is an incredible cook and is concerned about his guests while in his care. We encountered a snow storm while staying at Rivercene and he made every effort to make our stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible while stranded indoors due to the blizzard and dangerous road conditions outside at the time.

    Great Girls' Weekend

    November 27, 2012

    Took my mom for a weekend with the girls for her birthday, and we had a great stay. Donn and Joe were very hospitable, and the breakfast was great! Gave the room 3 stars only because the mattress was firmer than my liking, but I readily admit I'm picky about that. Wonderful weekend overall!
