River House Inn

Wonderful place, extremely quiet and peaceful. Visited for a private event. Breakfast and dinner are first class. Everyone strives to help in any way possible. The New River that flows just in front of the property is also a beautiful thing to watch. The surrounding Blue Ridge mountains complete a perfect scenery!

Situated among the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains and along the banks of the New River in Northwestern North Carolina, the River House Inn & Restaurant offers a top-shelf dining experience as well as cozy accommodations! The guest rooms/suites occupy outbuilding cottages that exude historic charm and include all of the modern amenities and conveniences! Elegant and sophisticated, the inn also exudes a homey and down-to-earth vibe! The owners and staff are personable as well as efficient, and fellow guests become instant friends! On select Sunday afternoons, they offer live music accompanied by scrumptious hors d’œuvres, a gourmet four-course dinner, and what surely must be considered to be the finest wine selection in this part of the state! My wife and I were fortunate to be in attendance during one such performance which featured Emile Pandolfi (world-renowned pianist) and Dana Russell (highly-acclaimed singer)! Mr. Pandolfi possesses virtuosic technique as well as a very tasteful and imaginative arranging style! Ms. Russell is an incredibly versatile singer who delivers everything from operetta to classic standards! The entire experience was magnificent on so many levels! We can hardly wait for a return visit!

A return visit to one of my favorite places. Right along a fork of the new river. The hosts are wonderful and the breakfast spectacular Very quiet at night. Slept great and awakened to hot coffee delivered to my room. I didn't have an opportunity to eat my evening meal with them this time but in the past it has been delicious.

Unique old place in beautiful mountain area. Best breakfast we have had for a long time and evening dinner menu was amazing and upscale. Staff and owner were super nice and welcoming to our family. We will definitely be coming back soon! Thank you…

This place is a hidden gem. Finding this retreat was a huge blessing. We highly recommend this property. The quiet, the nature, the rooms, and the food were all amazing. The staff is incredibly friendly and very accommodating. We will definitely be back.

My husband and I stayed in the wee cabin. We are absolutely in love with this place. The cabin was beyond our expectations. The jacuzzi tub is amazing. The whole a**osphere is perfect for a romantic getaway. The breakfast that is included in the mornings at the main house is beyond expectations. The orange juice for the mimosa is freshly squeezed. The food is five stars. Absolutely the best. If you're looking for romantic getaway with your spouse, don't look any further. We drive all the way from Greensboro for this getaway. We will be back.

This a lovely quaint place to stay. The bathroom is small, but even as a big girl, it was manageable. Everything else was great - the staff were so nice and helpful, the room was comfortable, and the location is really beautiful. I plan on going back for a longer stay to really enjoy the area.

Very welcoming start to our overnight stay at the inn. Very good dinner and breakfast and great accommodations. What stands up is the conversation we had with the owner when she joined us for a little while over dinner. She is a very interesting person and made us feel like we knew her for a long time and had common interests and common appreciation for food, wine and social life.

Shower was small and the water pressure was awfully weak. The room was hot even with the window unit ac. A carpeted bathroom is also very unsanitary. The food was overpriced for the quality. The staff where very attentive. Over all we may stay again but it does need some changes to make the experience match the beautiful location.
