“Reminder of the past.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2010
2
people found this review helpful

Nice room. We got a room with two separate bedrooms and a bathroom. One with a full size bed and one with a king for $75. The bathroom had no shower only a bathtub. It was a quaint hotel. It reminded me of staying at my great-grandmother's as a child. There was no breakfast though, which I thought was weird for a bed and breakfast hotel. There was a guest kitchen with tea and coffee and other snacks.

Stayed September 2010, travelled as a couple

“Website needs to be updated”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2010 via mobile

The owners are very friendly and nice. The place is very charming. However they do not serve a hot breakfast anymore. The website and other reviews show that they have fresh fruit, bread etc... However there was only a few bananas that were pretty ripe and some dry up cantelope in the fridge. Some dry raisin bread and no butter or anything to put on it. Just very diappointing overall. Usually when you stay in these kind of places they have great breakfast etc....
Also the shower was made for a minature person. I am average height and the shower head was at the middle of my upper back.
The other challenges with this place is that they need to update the electrical example- we had to turn the air conditioner unit to be able to use my hair blowdryer etc...
We would stay there again if they lowered their prices. We paid $160 for two nights but it was too overpriced for the place. Should have been around $40-$50 per night.
I hope this is helpful.

“Step back into the Past”

If you are ready to experience the ultimate in romantic, relaxing getaways, this is the place. The rooms are comfy and exceptionally clean and the the owners, Mark & Linda, are two of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. The breakfast was incredible and we look forward to going back next year with our grandchildren.

“Great relaxing weekend at Riverview Hotel.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2008

Based on reviews we read, we decided to try this place. We had a great time staying there. The inn-keepers are very friendly and make themselves available when you need assistance. . The overlook of the White river makes it worth the stay. There isn't much to do in the town, but if you are going for relaxation, it's hard to beat. There was a great restaurant: Don Quixote's on main street that is within walking distance. Just bring your bottle of wine with you because it's a dry county. They don't mind!

“Can't wait to return”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2006
3
people found this review helpful

This affordable historic hotel is incredible beyond words. It feels much more like a B&B than a hotel, and the innkeepers define hospitality. It's not ritzy, but beautiful, quiet, quaint, and homey. Our family needed some time to reconnect after my husband returned from overseas, so we came here with our kids and stayed in a two-bedroom suite with kitchenette and private porch, for an amazingly low rate. Each room/suite is different, and we had fun looking into the other ones (it's too bad we had to choose one to stay in). There's a large screened porch on the second floor for guests, and we spent hours there. Our mattress was probably the best we've found anywhere. The made-from-scratch breakfasts are creative and wonderful. The innkeepers know the area well and they not only recommended a good place to hear mountain music, but even called to reserve some tickets for us. I'm sure we'll return.
