The River House Lodge is charming, unique, and very comfortable! The owner was also wonderfully accommodating of my late arrival. Would love to stay there again.

Unique lodge
Loved the historic nature of the property. Antique items and original woodworking etc made it a very unique location. The pictures are a bit deceiving and make this look like a large mountain lodge (one even with a pool, though that is not listed as an amenity) but it is just a three story home. But that was fine, the only major issue was that they used window AC to cool the rooms. Our two rooms were very hot and the window ACs took a long time to make the temperature bearable. It did cool off nicely around 2am. Breakfast wasn’t much, not many options and nothing of a low carb variety. Wasn’t too concerned about until we realized there was literally no where to get anything to eat between the lodge and Camp Dawson. (Should have ate the muffin!) can’t really speak to the friendliness of the staff as I never met any during my entire stay (we had a late check in) But we had everything we needed so I have no complaints (except there was no hair dryer, it had one listed so my wife didn’t bring hers.) It’s no Ritz Carleton so don’t go expecting that, but it is a very neat place that you will remember years down the road (unlike a Comfort Inn!)

This quaint little town is perfectly quiet. If you’re looking to get away from everything. Only drawback is no cellular service but that’s most of the area. The best b&b I’ve ever seen.

The lodge was nice and clean. Only downside was being on the 3rd floor, no AC (window unit was in a closit but not put in) an only 1 of the 3 small window's had a screen to open.

Lovely place to stay if you prefer unique experiences and not the chain hotels that all look and feel alike. This is a very nicely restored historical building, full of fascinating details. We got a very nice room, where the only negative point could be the bathroom door that didn't want to stay closed. There was no TV in the room, which was big plus in our eyes. Be prepared for trains passing the town (and making some noise). However, it's part of this historical place. If you rely on local eateries, then go early - i.e. before 7pm. A very friendly owner who kindly instructed to drive beautiful roads. If you prefer to stay in modern standardized hotels/motels then this place is not for you.

Antique Filled lodge
It was unique, lots of antiques, good continental breakfast. Room was tight. Very clean and quiet except for the trains that run throughout the night. Also there is nothing to do or see nearby the Lodge.

Loved this bnb in this quiet little town.
We were in a suite on the third floor. The air conditioning from the window units was wonderful. The beds were the most comfortable I’ve encountered. The antique furniture and decor was very beautiful. Such a nice change from staying in the typical motel. We wish we could have stayed longer.

For starters, this place does not let you know that the family suites are located on the 3rd floor of the property. They also advertise a pool and lazy river (neither of which do they have). The “lazy river” they are referring to is the Cheat River which is not an actual lazy river but a river well known for drownings and whitewater rafting. They also fail to mention that it is a guest house with many people on many levels. We came in late and had trouble getting our stuff up to the 3rd floor at which point my kids (who’d been in the car for 2 days) were yelled at that others were sleeping when they collapsed at the top of the stairs from carrying items that far up. Then while walking around to get settled (not stomping, just walking) someone was banging on the ceiling with a broom or something from below. The husband got mad that we chose to leave early, then when questioning the owners wife about this, mind you, we left early…did not request a refund and I did not bring the children back to the lodging at all even to collect our belongings) the wife yelled at me that of course someone yelled “IT IS A GUEST HOUSE”. So I would not recommend this place to anyone. The owners are rude, and liars…given that the “lazy” river they refer to could cost you your actual life. Also their continental breakfast is literally some granola, cereal, and a few oranges. (Also we chose not to eat anything as it was not worth it for us). Pretty sad. Not a family friendly place at all. What a joke
