This B & B was wonderful! I have worked in the hotel industry for eight years and understand the importance of good customer service and a clean atmosphere. The basics were met, however, I felt much more is provided here.....genuine care, welcoming atmosphere, beautiful setting, and owners/manager that truly care about the enjoyment of your stay. A few other added... More

We loved this place. Charming rooms right on the river, conveniently located next to Chimney Rock state park, super accommodating owners and delicious breakfast! No complaints and would recommend to anyone visiting Chimney Rock!

Since I was a little girl I have been obsessed with the movie Dirty Dancing. As a surprise, my dad made a reservation at River House and plans to attend the annual Dirty Dancing Festival in late August. When we arrived, we were greeted by a lovely young woman named Mandy that showed us to our room (the Dirty Dancing... More

We stayed at the River House in November for our anniversary. We were concerned about bringing our toddler, but were quite pleased at how helpful Mandy (the manager/hostess) was at assisting us with our needs while also making sure the other guests were happy. She put us in a room on the main level where we could have more privacy.... More

My husband and I set out each weekend in whatever direction the road takes us. We arrived late and as always with no place to stay. It was cleanliness of the exterior and the view of Chimney Rock in the background that drew us to the River House. We had never stayed in B&B before and wasn't sure what to... More

The staff made our stay feel like we were with friends at their home for the weekend. The breakfast was great every morning and I really enjoyed drinking my early morning coffee overlooking the river from a rocking chair on the deck. You will not find a place more relaxing and welcoming then the River House!

As a returning visitor of the River House and the River Runs through it room . I must say the below review is outrageous and rude. The Owners and all employees are some of the most caring , sweet and professional people I have met on the road. I can say this due to the fact that every single week... More

When you look at the River house picture, you would believe this is a quite bed and breakfast alongside a river... A river there is on one side, but there is also a busy street on the other. The room was ok, but fairly dark. The patio would have been nice but, because there is a mini golf right next... More

Thank you for the valuable input about your stay at our B&B, the River House at Chimney Rock. However, I must say we were saddened to read your comments about our inn. The RH is a family owned inn which means the world to us and our staff and so it hard not to take these comments to heart. That... More
