The Inn on the River is centrally located in Glen Rose's historic downtown, so rather than being in a hotel on the noisy Hwy 67, you get a more relaxing stay. The Inn is also a quiet oasis because its property slopes down to the Paluxy river. Its restaurant and bar are another nice feature. If you travel with a pet, then you can find a no more dog-friendly place than The Inn on the River.

Such a peaceful location next to the river - a lovely old heritage building, and great hosts.
Our stay was wonderful! The host made us feel so welcome and took great care of us. The food was incredible and they even had a pet menu for our pupper. We will definitely be back!!!
We loved our stay at the inn! Our room was clean, staff was kind and helpful and the grounds are beautiful, not to mention the excellent breakfast! Nice spaces to enjoy outside too!
Adorable Inn. Decorated so cute for Christmas. Comfortable room and very quiet.

Amazing staff and stay! The room was very cute and clean. The location is the best being directly on the river and walking distance to everything in town. The homemade breakfast every morning was amazing. So convenient that there is a restaurant and bar on site that makes great cocktails. Owner and staff were very accommodating to request and needs. Looking forward to returning.
Lovely place. Clean, quiet, great location by the water. Had a fire pit. Pet friendly. Very nice staff. Visit The Pie Peddler. Excellent pie.

Pam made my niece's 20th birthday so special! This is our 2nd stay and won't be our last! Make this memorable hotel a stop on your bucket list! Ypu will never forget it!
Room was clean, staff was very attentive and helpful...the Tavern in back was an added bonus. Breakfast was yummy...cannot ask for more. We will be back!
Prepare to relax. No TV. No phones. No hair dryers. Dog and cat-friendly to the extreme, which was fine with us. The weather was beautiful, so we thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the front porch watching the town pass by, or having our morning coffee on the banks of the Paluxy River, or dining at the Tavern at night. Everyone was friendly. The manager Pam was attentive to our needs and questions. It’s in the heart of old downtown Glen Rose, which was fun to explore. We’ll be back.
