    Wonderful B&B for R&R

    June 12, 2013

    We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary at the Inn. The Inn provided us with the R&R we so richly needed and deserved. Our stay was all we could have asked for.....

    Peace By The River

    June 12, 2013

    When stress is overwhelming, run away. We did, and found peace by the river. We also found the owners and their staff to be magnificent. They saw to it that we wanted for nothing throughout our stay. I cannot complement the chef enough, the food was gourmet quality. It was as good as any that we have found at B&B's, and leaps and bounds better than most. Friday and Saturday nights, they serve an evening meal, by reservation only. The care and keeping of the Inn and the grounds was outstanding. We lounged on one porch, and rocked on another to the soft sounds of nature. Oh, we found peace by the river...

    Best Elopement Spot without Using Your Passport!

    August 21, 2012

    We wanted a great, stress free place to have our wedding and Inn On the River made it just that. The staff, rooms and setting was five star, as well as the breakfast and dinner. We had the best Big Day and wouldn't change a thing. The Huntingtons

    A great place to relax with a wonderful atmosphere

    August 15, 2012

    We stayed in a "King Room". It was roomy with a very nice bath. No TV but that was great. The grounds are beautiful and would have been even more beautiful if the Paluxy River had been flowing. Would like to go again when it is not so dry. The food and service was great. We had a delicious 4-course dinner and a gourmet breakfast. Homemade cookies are available in the foyer in the evening. It was quite and very restful and peaceful. I would definitely stay there again.
