We stayed 1 night and booked 4 nights for our next visit! Very clean, rustically modern, and a great touch by having wood floors vs no carpet. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms were large and decor was pleasing. The only complaint is the towels lacked absorbency. Need a higher cotton count. Other than that it was great!

Have stayed here numerous times. Great place. Very clean and comfy. Walk to dinner at deep water grill. Highly recommend staying here. You won't be disappointed. Only 11 rooms call ahead for a reservation.

I was on a motorcycle trip from Kansas City and decided to stay here instead of the BW or The 8. I have stayed at both of those places in the past. The room I had felt like I was in a small cabin instead of a motel room. Everything was clean and bright. It was very pleasant. There are... More

This is by far the best place I have stayed in while traveling in the Ashland, WI area. I love the cozy, country charm as River Rock Inn and Bait Shop doesn't give you that "hotel" atmosphere, they have all of the amenities I need including Ethernet hook up and the shower is great. Everyone at the front desk is... More

My husband and I stayed in this Inn for our 40th wedding anniversary. The room was "like" brand new even though the building appeared to very old. We had a very comfortable bed, a flat screen televison with satelite, great lighting, very nice kitchenette, coffee maker with coffee,microwave, refridgerator, sink, and dining table/chairs that all had a "cabin- Northern exposure"...

Very nice inn right across from the lakeshore. The rooms look brand new and the one we stayed in had a very nice kitchenette. Even bought fresh whitefish at the bait shop on our way out. It is a short walk to Main Street and a short drive around the bay to Bayfield and Duluth.

Very friendly and informative people at the front desk. Quiet and clean rooms. Uniquely decorated for that county charm feeling. Across from the lake which has a nice trail to walk along. Front lobby sells all you need for a great fishing trip.

An absolutely charming motel. The "modern rustic" decor was such a pleasant change, compared to the chain hotels. Our room was exceptionally clean and had a very warm and cozy feeling. The entire staff at the River Rock Inn went above and beyond their jobs to make us feel welcome.We will definitely stay at the River Rock Inn again.

This is our second time staying at River Rock Inn, we wouldn't even consider staying any where else. Scott/Owner really did an amazing job creating a place that is impeccably clean, modern log cabin decor and creates a home away from home athmosphere. The pics of the outside are very deceiving....you must view the virtual tour to see exactly how... More
