    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.

    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!!
