The owner and staff are great. We did not like the bed in the room we were in, but they were able to put us up in a different room. The breakfast staff especially Janie were on top of everything. Shelia was very friendly and helpful with the room change and our change of payment cards.

Love coming here

As always, the staff were personable and friendly, went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. The atmosphere was fun and relaxed, the rooms were clean and perfect. They brought hot coffee to my door in the morning and even served breakfast to us 30 minutes early to accommodate our schedule

We had a very nice visit. Staff was friendly and professional. Rooms were lovely. Although the buildings are not new, they are in good shape. They are flexible about which rooms to stay in.
Food is superb. If you can time your visit for nights when the restaurant is open, you won’t be disappointed.

The restaurant experience is outstanding. This is a white linen event with 2 seatings...so prepare with a nice outfit and be relaxed. The prices are compatible with the Winston-Salem or Raleigh area... the food is artfully prepared and presented. If you like cocktails before dinner there is a well stocked bar with special drinks for the day/week. One thing I would ask is that guests monitor their alcohol so you can be aware that not everyone wants to hear your conversation.
In addition, the breakfast which is included with the room is a tastey way to start the day. That Chef is a Gift.

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.

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.

My small family of three (including a 16 yr old daughter) thoroughly enjoyed our two days stay. Everyone was very hospitable & accommodating to us, they even left the front porch & the inside stairwell lights on along with the door unlocked on our last night. The food was very delicious & sitting on the front porch rocking while relaxing & meeting the other nice guests is something our family will cherish.

Lovely Spot

The Wee Cabin is a great little spot! It’s secluded and provides all the comforts you could want. On-site dinner was absolutely incredible despite only a few people working, the food was spectacular.
There were two things that would have made the stay better- the wifi was down (which normally would be a great chance to unwind but we got engaged on our trip and wanted to call family to celebrate!). Also, the carbon monoxide detector didn’t have a battery in it. These things would not impact us returning at all, we had a lovely stay and everyone was so kind.

The River House Inn is an exceptional B&B with great food overlooking the New River in a beautiful section of NC. The rooms range from a small suite in the main to cottages. Some with hot tubs and decorated with Gayle's sense of art and antique furniture.

Beautiful mountain retreat

The River House Inn is an inn coupled with a series of outbuidlings. One can see that this was formerly a mountain farm that has eventually been transformed into a refined center of culture in Northeast NC. My family stayed in a two-bedroom apartment in what had been a barn complex, replete with a fully-equipped kitchen. It was perfect for us. The New River is across the street and there is a large field between the lightly-used road and the water. This lawn area was perfect for a stroll or to play (baseball, e.g.). The river itself was lovely for walking in and fishing. To be sure the "honey hole" is a bit downstream for prospective fishermen/women. The staff were exceptionally kind to me and my children and we felt most welcomed the entire stay. Lastly, I must comment on how delicious the breakfasts were. All the "hype" I had read regarding the food at the River House Inn was earned. Our food was delectable.
One item to note for Hotels.com users... despite me registering my entire family, the Inn only had me down as a party of 2. As a result we had to be (a lot) extra for my family to stay. I am guessing there was a mix-up in the communication between hotels.com and the property. I would encourage anyone booking for more than 2 people to confirm this with the Inn before travelling. Otherwise, you might be paying more than expected.

My husband and I had a fantastic weekend in this hotel and we can’t wait to go back...The owner, Miss Gayle is a lovely and attentive lady and along her staff, made us feel like part of the family. The breakfast and dinner were outstanding; so delicious and beautifully curated. We stayed at the Carriage House room and we enjoyed all the details in it; we truly felt like back in time in a peaceful retreat at the nature’s heart. We woke up at the birds singing and would take a few steps to the main house to enjoy the amazing breakfast that is included with the stay. We became fans of the herbs and cheese omelet but can’t deny that all the plates we tried were very tasty and memorable. We visited the Grayson Highlands State Park to see the famous wild ponies and truly worths the hike. If you love nature this trip should be on your bucket list!

The River House is located right on the New River. We stayed at the Main House and everything was great. The room was large and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic and they have a great restaurant. The staff are wonderful. We will definitely stay at the River House when we return to this area.

A Rustic Riverhouse Gem

We loved our stay here. The staff and owner were wonderful and even leave fresh coffee on your doorstep. It is a converted farm with rustic charm. We asked last minute to eat here and were surprized by a gourmet three course meal in a charming dining room. The breakfast was delightful as well. Wish we had had more time to sit on the porch and enjoy the river view.

Relax with a capital R in the Weigh Station. Small. Private. Intimate. Wake up to coffee delivered to your deck table in a thermos carafe. Sit and enjoy the bird song. Breakfast from 8:30-10 so no rush. Best breakfast! Several great choices. Beautiful river. Ask Grace to arrange a canoe or kayak trip down the river. Finish the day with a bath and candles or sit in a rocker in the porch of the main house with a glass of wine or mug of coffee. Perfect weekend getaway for a couple.

Because of the inclement weather, we departed from the property after breakfast. We are looking forward to returning someday & highly recommend this property.
