Very beautiful, large, older home that has been tastefully transformed into a wonderful BnB. Our huge room was magnificent! Everything was so clean and refreshing. Very friendly staff who went above and beyond. Pictures do not do it justice. Would definitely stay here again!!!

Nice size room. Old home and nice property with lots of potential. By the River while true you don’t actually see the River because of trees. I was hoping for a more scenic experience. Great location to downtown.

Cute, like the place, the only problem was the bathroom separate from the room and the low level of water from the shower.

Beautiful b&b on the St John river
The hosts were friendly and welcoming. The Executive suite was beautiful with a large bay window with adjoining ensuite bathroom and balcony overlooking the front of the house. Everything was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. There were several breakfast options that you could choose from. Had a wonderful stay and would stay again.

The rooms were okay. The bed was in need of replacement. There is no elevator and the stairs are very narrow. The breakfast was terrible, with every effort to limit costs (half rashers, ice in the OJ, and hot chocolate that was tasteless).

The property had no sign out front that says B and B.Its on a busy street and beside a cemetery.my initial impression upon driving up was not great as the outside needs some TLC.The inside was clean and our room was quite large.The bed was ok,but the pillows were terrible.The lady running it was doing everything by herself I believe.Cleaning the rooms, cooking breakfast and checking people in.She was definitely working hard.

By The River has been restored to its century old grandness. It is just an awe inspiring place to spend a night. The innkeeper was warm and friendly, great breakfast served in the grand dining room. Very special place, loved it.
