Arriving at dusk on our road trip to Williamstown we were delighted to find this amazing old inn still had a room for the night. As the only guests, so early in the season, we had our pick of the well-appointed rooms and a discounted late-booking price too boot. We could not have been made more welcome and the entirely...

River Bend Farm is both a unique and wonderful experience. David and Judy have been attentive in restoring every detail of their pre-revolutinary home. And unlike other bed and breakfasts, it's immaculate but not overdone with frilly pillows and bedding. It is simply clean and elegant. Additionally, David and Judy are smart and interesting people, but not intrusive. We actually... More

This is not a cookie cutter inn. This is unique, beautiful, a trip into history with all the modern amenities. An authentic shaker farmhouse with as much of the original look and feel possible but with large comfortable rooms, cozy beds, excellent home-baked breakfasts and the most interesting bathroom and shower you'll ever see. Dave and Judy are gracious, friendly,... More

A surprise find in Williamstown was the River Bend Farm B&B, Dave and Judy are superb hosts and welcomed us  to their restored 18th century home with a warm drink and a friendly informal aire. The rooms are all furnished with a thoughtful attention to detail and it really felt like we had stepped back in time, to a slower... More

This beautiful old B&B is the reconstructed home of 18th century Williamstown founder Benjamin Simonds. You feel that you have stepped back into colonial times in this fascinating and comfortable house. Judy and Dave are gracious and welcoming hosts who serve one of the best breakfasts I have ever eaten.

The owners have preserved the home of the founder of Williamstown with meticulous attention to detail. This is a museum as much as it is a lodging. Small concessions have been made for the comfort of modern travellers -- Two bathrooms -- one with shower, and basic kitchen appliances so breakfast can be prepared -- along with electric lights and...

We were just looking for a "New England B and B" and accidently found River Bend Farm. What an incredible experience. This is a four room fully restored 1770 Tavern on the old Mohawk Trail. The owners, Mr and Mrs Loomis, have personally restored every inch of this Tavern to its original condition. Original floors, walls, and more. Two of... More

We stayed at the River Bend Inn during fall of last year. The foliage was beautiful and we went on several hikes nearby in the White Mountains. The food was fantastic - the breakfasts were incredible.

Delightful conversationalists and welcoming informal hosts, Dave and Judy ensured that we had a perfect stay. It took a bit of finding with the limited directions in the Lonely Planet guidebook, but we were so pleased that we persevered. Scrumptious home baked cakes, bread and preserves... lovely open log fire, and a relaxed atmosphere that went beautifully with the New... More

If you're looking for a spa-like, modern, austere stay, don't try River Bend Farm. If you're looking for an authentic, comfortable, family-like experience though, this is the place for you. Nothing compares to staying in this restored 18th-century farmhouse...the furniture is beautiful, the beds are comfortable, and the people there (including Dave and Judy) are interesting. Visualize this: a handmade... More
