The room had a cabin in the woods type feel. Our room had a little porch with a table that we could sit at and watch people play in the river. The sheets were very soft and did not feel like hotel sheets at all.

We loved the location; close proximity to most everything.Manager/owner was friendly and accommodating. The coffee was delicious, appreciated,and perfectly equipped with creamer, etc, however, it didn’t make up for more than a few things needing improvement inside the rooms. What we did not like was the condition of the room and bathroom. While cozy and the sheets, blanket, and towels were clean and nice and soft, what would have made our stay more pleasant and comfortable would be an updated toilet seat and faucet in the bathroom as well as some newer comfortable chairs to relax in. The ones there were old and uncomfortable-something a bit more reclining would be sufficient, or at least, newer. The main door was not sealed to the outside allowing air to escape causing the ac to work less efficiently. We also noticed some mold growth on the ceiling above the shower. I also took a towel and cleaned behind the door(found dust and dirt on it)and off of the baseboard in the bathroom for the next guest. If asked if we would stay here again as it stands, I would say no, we would not. However, we would be willing to pay more and stay again if the aforementioned improvements were made.

Riverview is on the other side of a road with camping sites between. Loud generator directly in front also blocking river view and running continuously.

Don’t stay

In terrible condition. There were mice traps in the room. We rate this below zero in every category. Should be removed from options of hotels.
