"We had a wonderful one-night stay at Inn at the River. The property was exceptionally clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and beautifully maintained, with lovely gardens surrounding the inn. Dan and Margaret were incredibly warm and welcoming, and Theodore (sorry, my friend, if Iโ€™m misspelling your name! ๐Ÿ˜‰), their sweet and friendly dog, made our stay even more enjoyable! They also prepared a delicious breakfast for us early in the morning so we could get back on the road on time, which we truly appreciated. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it!"
