    The best B&B I've ever visited!

    December 31, 2012

    The Riverbend Inn is located in a beautiful, wooded spot near some of the best hiking in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. The owners are friendly & welcoming; the rooms are elegantly designed; everything is kept clean and immaculate; and best of all are the breakfasts! The breakfasts here are unlike anything I've had at any other B&B, inn, or hotel, and frankly they best any breakfast you could find at a restaurant. Even without considering the food, The Riverbend Inn is an excellent value, but in my estimation the quality of those breakfasts really make it a steal! If you need a place to stay in the White Mountains, stay here!

    Perfect way to get into the holiday spirit!

    December 11, 2012

    I stayed at the Riverbend Inn to participate in the Cookie Tour. It was a perfect way to get into the holiday spirit. The Inn was elegantly decorated and had Christmas music playing. The breakfast was lovely and they had my favorite cookie of the 13 participating inns on the Cookie Tour.

    A great B&B for a relaxing stay.

    November 27, 2012

    This was our second stay at the River Bend Inn, and as with the first stay, we had a great stay. The innkeepers are extremely friendly and helpful. They know the area very well and are happy to provide advice, directions and help. The wooded property is beautiful, and the small river that runs directly behind the inn aids in the relaxing atmosphere. The roome are elegantly decorated and are interesting and comfortable. The common areas are inviting and provide interesting places to read, or just relax and enjoy the music. Breakfasts are gourmet and top off each night's stay. The creativity and execution of the freshly made breakfasts would be worth the stay all by themselves. The informal but elegant breakfast is a wonderful way to start the day. If you haven't guessed yet, we highly recommend the River Bend Inn for anyone planning to visit the area.

    Nice place to stay, not only sleep

    October 27, 2012

    1. The breakfast is the best in this world. Thank you Jerry. 2. The river bend and the surroundings are spectacular. 3. Bedroom No. 8 needs improving. Its light was too dark and the mattress needs to be changed. TV needs to be replaced; or I prefer no TV b/c it's so odd; people don't come watch TV at night. 4. I wish I could stay for a longer time here b/c it's a lot of fun to explore. Overall, thank you and definitely a nice place to stay, not only sleep. BTW, there is really no good restaurant close to this inn...

    Lovely as always

    October 16, 2012

    My husband and I stayed at the riverbend for our 5 year anniversary. This was the 5th time we've been to the riverbend & it's always a pleasure. The rooms are comfortable, charming, and creatively decorated, and the food is a gormet delight. Can't wait to come back again!
