On the day of our checkin, we reached the resort by 2 pm and provided them the booking confirmation. I was surprised to find that they were not aware of my booking. They did not even have a system to check if i have made...a booking. Instead hotel manager called someone to check if i have made a booking. Then after a while i was said that all rooms are already booked and nothing is vacant. I showed them that my booking was a prepaid one and i have made the full payment 2 months back. Someone from the hotel then called me and started to negotiate asking if i am okay to adjust with 2 rooms instead of 3 rooms for my 2nd day stay. I did not have any option other than agreeing to it as it will not be possible to find another resort on a weekend. Hotel staffers denied our check in until i agreed that we will adjust with 2 rooms. All this took more than one hour where we were left to be in the hotel's restaurant with kids. Stay was good and hotel is next to a river where kids will defenitely love to play.More

Tried their Kerala and Barbeque food options and both of them were mouth watering. Very pocket friendly rates as well. Try their fish curry, Pineapple barbeque , chicken barbeque.

An awesome experience for my family... Especially my children enjoyed so much that both our families are still savouring those happiest moments of our lives we had, at River County... Never seen such crystal clear waters... So cold.. So pure.. And the private stream...Full of...pebbles.. Shallow clear waters.. " Country roads took me home, to the place, I belong...... River County, mountain mama... Take me home... Country roads..... " Wish I could share some of the pics we clicked at River County.... Thanks a million Mr. Arun.. You were a wonderful host... The food you served... The smiles your team served... The special barbecue.. That too on off hours.. Your team never blamed.. Never complained.. They were happy to serve us... Tired but thought I should share my experience with the world.. Should visit Mr. Arun and his team at least once in our life time at River County, kallaar, ponmudi... Value for money, natural atmosphere real nature of a forest, and the taste of foods they offered will take me and my friends regularly.. Thank you guys.. You gave me and my children a blessed day...More

River County has a location blessed by beautiful and abundant nature. The property has ample space for guests to walk around. However, the service in general was mediocre. It took the staff 15+ minutes to arrange for the luggage to be transferred into our rooms....The swing was broken. Tea/coffee were cold occasionally. The manager informed us about free Wi-fi, but it took a call to figure out logon information. When we informed the manager about portion sizes, his instinct was to argue (and not to politely respond). Overall, I would rate this a good experience, if service quality is not a major factor for you.More

I made this booking for 2 night stay for my extended family, a big group of 10 adults and 6 kids! They all appreciated the location and facilities. Food was mainly local home made kerala style which was good & made to order. Veg options...though were limited but nobody missed it as the river fish was awesome and the group were mostly non vegetarians. The bath in kallar river adjoining the property was the highlight. This property is lower down and on the way to Ponmudi peak but climate was good as it was monsoon season. The owner Arun was couteous and accommodative. Prices charged were per person including stay and all meals. A trip to Ponmudi peak was made in our own vehicle. Just the right place to enjoy climate and nature.More

A peaceful place away from the hustle bustle of the city. An island in midst of your neighborhood. A place where tranquility prevails. The property is well maintained and the food is totally homely. Hospitality along with wonderful view makes this place a must visit....Enjoyed my time spent at River county. Would recommend people to take some "me" time off and rewind at this lovely place.More

A holiday with the family.... A busy person like me always looks forward to it. Getting the perfect stay is like adding the right amount chilli powder in my curry, but with River County it was like sliding on butter. I usually end up with...a bad stomach if i eat outside food, but this time it wasn't on my worry list. So to sum up people, I really enjoyed it. Thumbs up River County:)More

Suitable for families,groups and individuals on a very economical price with a calm ambience who loves the nature. Dip into the pure kallar, meenmutty stream line surrounding the property...is really an amazing experience.
