We recently spent 5 nights at the River View Inn. The decor is outstanding. The breakfasts were very well done. But we probably enjoyed our visits with our host and hostess more than anything else. I would heartily recommend this to anyone in the area.

This was our very first stay at a Bed and Breakfast, and our reason for traveling was not the happiest. We were quite nervous about what to expect, but Gary and Linda quickly put our fears to rest. We were personally welcomed by the Linda even though we arrived near midnight! The house was breathtaking, especially at night with the beautiful stained glass and lights. The antiques were awesome and each room was decorated perfectly. Our room was clean and neat, the bed was so comfortable, and the breakfasts were....lets just say AMAZING! It was just like home and we couldn't have felt more welcome. The Gary and Linda were very accommodating and made sure that we had everything we needed. We can't wait to return.
Wonderful evening !!

This home is victorian gorgeous and modern amenities! All the fixtures sparkle and breakfast was amazing! To relax and have a cozy place to stay - this is it! There is little within walking distance, but we prepared and brought a bottle of wine to relax and enjoy the evening.The tv has a dvd player and the kitchen had snacks and water. When the hair dryer didn't turn on, a new one was brought up immediately. I can not say enough about the hospitality of Linda and Gary - we hope to see them again!

Outstanding living and dining rooms with comfortable seating and beautiful Victorian décor. Very nice innkeepers. At the time of our stay, the Augusta room had an in-window air conditioner, which allowed in the busy road noise. Note to seniors: The stairs to the third floor are somewhat steep and narrow. Location is convenient to Bucknell.

Didn't see anyone else in the entire house until the morning just before I left. The note and chocolate did not make up for the absence of the caretaker. It felt very odd to be left alone and not be greeted in-person. I really could have used advise on where to go for dinner, etc... The room and house are beautiful, I would have been a different experience if the caretaker had made a point for there to be human interaction as part of my visit. Personal connections between caretaker and guest are a key part of the B&B experience.
Innkeeper Response
Please be aware that the majority of Innkeepers have personal lives and jobs just as the traveler. Our house is never unattended. At the time of the above review there was another businessman in the Inn. My husband and I also work as nurses. Travel slows dramatically in the Susquehanna Valley as winter approaches. Thus when I see that there is no one coming to the Inn I schedule myself to work. When I receive calls from travelers at the last minute I always make them aware that I have to work and at that time they have the option of seeking lodging elsewhere. If they decide to come I offer to have coffee/tea and a sweet waiting for them upon arrival. I always have a welcome letter awaiting especially for late comers. I always speak to my guest prior to arrival and if they need any suggestions for dinner, etc it is always discussed before hand and if a guest doesn't ask - we don't know what they need. Please instead of writing such a review - Please - Please speak to your Innkeeper because we are all in this business to make you stay as the best possible and we love working with people.
