An absolutely charming motel. The "modern rustic" decor was such a pleasant change, compared to the chain hotels. Our room was exceptionally clean and had a very warm and cozy feeling. The entire staff at the River Rock Inn went above and beyond their jobs to make us feel welcome.We will definitely stay at the River Rock Inn again.

This is our second time staying at River Rock Inn, we wouldn't even consider staying any where else. Scott/Owner really did an amazing job creating a place that is impeccably clean, modern log cabin decor and creates a home away from home athmosphere. The pics of the outside are very deceiving....you must view the virtual tour to see exactly how... More

We recently booked 3 rooms. Two had kitchenettes, which you don't pay for if you don't use. One room was a single. All rooms were exceptionally clean and spacious. We like that the high, peaked ceilings added a sense of more space. The woodsy furnishings and quilts were a very nice touch. Mattresses and pillows were great, everyone had a... More

This was the cleanest place I have stayed. The room was very spacious and it was like staying in a woodsy lodge. The staff were very friendly and informative. The office is located in their bait store and it was one of the cleanest bait stores I have been in. I am happy I chose to stay here and would... More

Our room was so great. It was like a cabin in the woods. It was clean and spacious and the decor was so great. It was the most unusual motel we've ever had the opportunity at which to stay. We would highly recommend it.

What a charming place! We stayed in rooms #11 and 7 this past weekend and were so happy with the choice! So clean and cozy with every amenity thoughtfully provided! Very comfortable and clean and well worth the price. I am happy to support a family run business than an impersonal chain!
