Riverbend Inn

Craig and Jerry were very helpful and accommodating. The rooms were comfortable and larger than expected. The views of the vast and picturesque property were fantastic. We were fortunate enough to stay while the extensive and well appointed holiday decorations were still up and snow covered the town. The entire visit was romantic, picturesque, comfortable, and very affordable. Craig and Jerry were helpful with area dining and the breakfasts were perfect. We are looking to stay again during the Spring and maybe bring some friends for a long weekend.

We wanted a romantic weekend for two and found this bed and breakfast online but who knew after the 6 hour drive we arrive at a little sanctuuary the place is very well kept the room (10) was very spacious and nicly decorated the house itself was so very nice and warm and cozy and the owners are very sweet and attentive the breakfast is AMAZING and they even cleaned our room saw a bottle of wine and left strawberries and glasses and that was just because !!!!!!! i would definatly recommend this place the only thing was that there is not to many good places to eat in the area you kinda have to drive far to get an ok meal cant wait to go back :)

I've stayed in many B&B's over the years; the Riverbend Inn was the best, by far. The Inn Keepers love their work and it shows in the order, decoration, assistance and meals. The breakfasts were fantastic and included poached plums with yogurt and toasted granola, whole grain bread, eggs, home made baked goods...and that was just the first day! The guest living room is beautiful and comfortable. My room was spotless, cozy and spacious. Holiday decorations are lovely. Truly a special place.

Arrived late, Jerry and Craig stayed to meet me and gave me great advice on where to get dinner late at night. Highly recommend this place

I brought my boyfriend here for a getaway weekend for his birthday. The rooms were amazing. The surrounding beauty of wilderness is unspeakable. And the owners could not have been anymore hospitable!!! We have already recommended this B&B to two of our other friends that have booked a stay there. Just to give those of you who read this more info (in addition to all the other input). This place is worth staying in just to relax and take in the beauty!! The owners Craig and Jerry have paid so much attention to detail and have really transformed it into a work of art that mimics their taste!! We stayed in the room with the king size bed and red walls. There is air-conditioning, a private bath, television, and a very comfy bed!! The breakfast was as beautiful as it was tasty!! Honestly I must say we spent most of our evening in the "common room" relaxing, talking and listening to music. Cell phone signals work, but only in "hot-spots" in the house (I was thankful because my boyfriend is a phone addict so I was able to have him to myself). We were, however, able to get on the internet. I will definitely stay here again!!

A warm and inviting place to stay--you may feel like extending your stay! Beautiful inn, beautiful setting, great food, and congenial hosts. What more could you ask for? We were made to feel at home and indeed it felt like coming home after a day of exploring the area. Wine on the deck, a drink by the fire, or relaxing with a good read are made all the more pleasurable by accommodating surroundings and gracious innkeepers. And there are usually interesting guests to strike up a conversation with. This time in particular, we met very friendly people from Germany and Australia. We are from Texas (which added to the diversity of language and accents!) and have even met people who lived in neighboring towns. People visit this inn from all over, which makes the world seem a lot smaller. The breakfasts are gourmet and something to look forward to each morning before starting the day's activities. Old family recipes and soft, relaxing music will make you want to kick back and relax with a second or third cup of coffee or juice. This is a great place to stay for a few days and relax or base out of for exploring, antiquing, sightseeing, or whatever. The rooms were always immaculate and the decor is a warm and interesting mix of art and antiques from around the world. The long driveway through the woods to the house sets the tone for discovering and enjoying this hidden jewel on the Chocorua River. Kudos to Craig and Jerry for making our families feel so welcome and at home. We were there for a memorial tribute to our father who grew up in the area and had passed away last year. The trip was a time for reflection with family and we can't think of a better place to have done so. It's a lovely inn and we would recommend it to anyone, anytime.

My husband and I were in Chocorua for a wedding on a very rainy weekend in October. We found the Riverbend Inn charming with an eclectic blend of eastern and american decorative arts. We would have liked to explore the beautiful landscape if not for the rain; however, we were able to enjoy the view from the open and airy dining room and listen to the river from our bedroom window. The breakfasts were superb - elegant flavors with a light touch.. Craig and Jerry were nice as could be.

My husband and I stayed at the Riverbend Inn while enjoying New Hampshire fall foliage. Bottom line, there is nothing about this inn that I didn't absolutely love! Jerry and Craig are the best hosts ever!! The night of our arrival, we inquired about where to dine in the area. Not only did Jerry recomend a great place and call to make reservations for us, when we returned from a hike later in the day, we found directions to the restaurant waiting for us in our room. That's what I call service!! Our room was unbelievably clean and beautifully decorated. The breakfasts every morning are amazing... very creative and different! If it wasn't for Jerry and Craig, to this day I still wouldn't know what a pluot is!! If I could give this inn a 10 I would. I can't say enough good things about it. I can't wait to return!

Riverbend Inn was in the perfect location. The Inn itself was breathtaking, while the grounds were both beautiful and relaxing. The Innkeepers, Jerry & Craig were absolutely lovely people who provided wonderful service and hospitality. Their breakfast each morning was out of this world awesome--natural & fresh!

Beautiful decor, amazing breakfast. The setting along the river is so peaceful, the hosts were very gracious and helpful. We would definitely stay there again.

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Riverbend Inn while attending a wedding weekend at another in NH. We left for our 7 hour drive from NJ right after work and did not arrive at the Inn till almost 2am. There was a note waiting for us on the door informing us that our room had been upgraded free of charge and information about breakfast the next morning. A wonderful thing to arrive to after a long trip. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets were already turned down for us. We had a good night sleep listening to the river gently flow by. We woke up the next morning and had an amazing breakfast for peaches and cream, homemade blackberry crumb cake, cheesy scrambled eggs, homemade homefries, and fruit. Both the owners were very nice and informative. We spoke with Craig about wanting to ride the Kancamangus Highway the following day but he said that it might be closed due to the recent Hurricane but he would contact around to some people and find out if it was open. After a day of exploring North Conway and hanging out with the soon to be bride and groom we headed back to the inn to freshen up for the rehearsal dinner. When we arrived back Craig informed us that he had gotten in touch with the chamber of commerce and the road was open. The next morning we woke up to another great breakfast of fruit parfait, black berry bran muffins, creme brulee apple french toast, homemade sausage, and fruit. After the day adventuring we returned to the Inn to freshen up for the wedding. As we walked down the stairs Craig commented on how nice we looked and told us to have a good time. Our one regret was not having breakfast at the inn the next morning as we had told the bride and groom that we would be having breakfast with them. We are very sad to think that we missed out on another one of Craig and Jerry's great meals. Just another reason to go back I suppose.

Everything was just perfect here from the accommodating hosts to the delicious breakfast the next morning and everything in between. Very cozy and romantic!

Very comfortable and cozy. enjoyed our stay . owners very friendly and caring.we had alot of fun and would definitely stay again and will recomend it to others. thanks again , The Harrington's

We were looking for a place to stay near my hometown of Madison and were pleasently surprised by this Inn in Chocorua.

We were on a whistle stop tour of family relatives--5 days, 5 different hotels. This was our last stop before heading home to NC. Gracious hosts, delicious breakfast, a swim in Chocurua Lake and we were ready for the 1000 mile trip home.

Breakfast and service were excellent. As with many older inns, exterior maintenance can be problematic.

We only stayed the one night - but we could have stayed longer! Craig & Jerry were available and very helpful. The room was wonderfully appointed and very clean. The breakfast, as so many have already said, was amazing. Everything was very comfortable. We were there celebrating our wedding anniversary and found it to be a very quiet, and romantic, experience. Thank you, Jerry & Craig.

The breakfasts on the deck were outstanding. It was great to listen to the river and eat the most amazing breakfasts outside. Room with private deck also had its own table and chairs for sitting outside in the evenings to listen to the babble of the water.

We had a great stay at Riverbend Bed and Breakfast. The owners gave us a free room upgrade, the breakfast were delicious and original, service was discreet yet attentive. Nice decor and quiet environment. Perfect for a casual vacation and great location for road biking and hiking.

Beautiful place inside and out. Jerry & Craig were wonderful hosts! The room was immaculate and beautifully decorated. The breakfasts were fabulous! Definitely coming back!

We stayed for 2 nights during the muddy season, and it was our first time experiencing a bed and breakfast. It won't be our last! The owners were incredibly helpful and nice, offering menus for local restaurants and recommending activities, but respecting our privacy enough so that we didn't feel bothered at all. The room was immaculate and the bathroom was huge. The balcony off of our room was right near the river and was a great place to relax and soak up some sun. The multi-course breakfast was one of the best we've ever eaten, and uses a recipe passed down through the owner's family. Yum. The chocolate covered strawberries we received with turn down one night were also great. We also had 2 massages as part of our package and they were wonderful. Thank You so much Craig and Jerry, we will definitely be visiting again! M&J

We stumbled upon Riverbend the night we got engaged, and have been bragging about it for the past 6 years. For our 5th Anniversary we decided to make a return visit, and everything was just as we remembered! I cannot think of a more peaceful setting, or more gracious hosts. If you are within 50 miles of Chocorua, NH. do yourself a favor and book a room. You won't regret it! Eric Leishman Kingston, Ma

Very friendly staff, wonderful location, quiet time of year made the visit very private - all that's advertised

It was a quiet and relaxing wkd. I've been to the Riverbend Inn a number of times in different seasons and have always enjoyed my stay there.

We absolutely loved our stay. The property and house are beautiful as was the room. Everything was spotless and the breakfast was AMAZING! I can't wait to go back!

This was our first trip using a Bed and Breakfast. The room was charming and the food fantastic! We had to leave a little early on Sunday morning and told Jerry and Craig we would not be able to wait until 9:00 am. for breakfast. So, they made sure that breakfast was ready at 8:30 am so we could get the full value of our stay. Excellent hosts!

Our friends recommended this romantic B&B and I could not have asked for more! We stayed in the suite with a bathroom and view of the beautiful river in the backyard which was amazing. The inn keepers were really sweet and were incredible chefs. Definitely one of the best breakfasts I have ever had! I really can't say more good things about it!

Owners had lots of good recommendations for local attractions etc.

The owners of the Inn were extremely friended and genuinely interested in us. They even gave me son some bread to feed the fish in the lovely river out back -which by the way is stunning. The Inn is right on the river and it is just breath taking. The Inn itself is decorated very nicely, warm, somewhat eclectic, clean, and very comfortable. The food and the service was amazing. While I was surprised at how small our room was, it was very and clean and well decorated. I understand from other guests at breakfast that their rooms were gorgeous.

Loved this beautiful inn! Very elegant! Breakfast was delightful. We had a wonderful two night stay and hope to come back!

Two nights at the Riverbend Inn in late August was a balm for the senses. This was such a find and I cannot wait to go back. Located near Lake Chocorua it provided the privacy and quiet I needed and I left feeling completely refreshed and rejuvenated. I disconnectted from the world and watched the birds and the snapping turtle float dreamily down the stream from the big hammock riverside. Jerry and Craig were there if you needed them but otherwise were unobstrusive and provided just enough gracious service to make you feel you could relax. Make sure you stay more than one night and take the road through Sandwich to get there which is an enjoyable meandering ride.

We've stayed at over 15 B&B's in NH and Jerry and Craig's Inn is by far the best. The warm atmosphere, beautiful location and superb food all make Riverbend the destination of choice. You will not be dissapointed.

With hosts like Craig and Jerry, who were so eager to help us feel so welcome, we left this charming place spoiled, satisfied and eager to return. The B&B was beautifully decorated for Christmas! Breakfasts were delicious. Enjoyed looking at the river while having breakfast. A visit to this lovely B&B is a MUST!

The location is worth the price of the room alone. Great detail everywhere. Breakfast was wonderful, but wish they would serve ealier.(8am) Wish we stayed there more than one night.
