Reviews
We stay here every trip. Ultra soft beds. Nice rooms with beautiful views. Garrett is an excellent chef! Love the owners and staff. Will stay again.
This review is for the restaurant. The food was great, and a lot of it! The service was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. There is a beautiful outdoor seating area. They have a small bar area and cozy dining area.
We ate at the restaurant with a large party that filled one of the dining rooms. I would have thought it would be trouble but they did fantastic. Food was great and so was the service. We had planned a different location and had called to make sure reservations were not required but they were not even open so we ended up here and very glad we did. Had friends staying here and others in our party that had to go here for a room when their site flooded. The staff was helpful and let them use a dryer for cloths amd they were very accommodating at such a late hour.
What a great place and an even better staff! If you’re willing to stay in an older inn where the staff not only remembers that your mom needs decaf tea but also leaves some (from her own personal stash) on her day off then this is the place. From changing our room to one with a more elderly friendly tub to the perfect breakfast sandwich (extra crispy bacon).
I can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you to the staff at Inn by the River. You made our stay for our daughter’s wedding very special.

I just stayed here for three night and days in order to go fishing. The food here is a real treat—flavorful, well prepared and far from pub restaurant type food. All the employees who provided service were helpful, prompt and fun to talk with. Summer, fall or winter this a very convenient and homey place to stay for fishing, tubing, whitewater rafting, and hunting and snowmobiling. I gave my room only 4 stars because it had two full size beds in it and no chair. Otherwise, it was clean and restful.
