We arrived on a sunny Friday afternoon just before the rest of our family. We rented two rooms in the main house and the second floor in the "carriage house". The grounds are full of flower gardens that have people constantly taking pictures. The main house is about 120 years old and is looks perfect condition. The furniture in the... More

If you are looking to de-stress and forget about the rest of the world, Southport is the location for you. Lois Jane's Riverside Inn and Riverside Motel are in the heart of this quaint town. If you aren't a vegetarian and don't mind the smell of bacon, stay at the B&B. If you do mind the smell of bacon throughout... More

I was disappointed that we were put in the motel across the street and not the inn. It was adequate but not what we were expecting. Breakfast is at a communal table and they do not serve until 8:30 a.m. We are early risers and want coffee and breakfast so we can be on our way for the day. They... More

The inn is definitely in a great location, with a visitors' center a block or so away, an assortment of small shops and a number of highly recommended restaurants very close by. Our room had a large private bath, and it also opened directly onto an upstairs porch from which we watched the ferry and a freighter making their way... More

Loved being across the street from the Cape Fear River. Nice being within walking distance of downtown. Nice rooms, lovingly decorated and maintained, not all with private bath. Chef cooked a wonderful breakfast our last morning. Be warned--a fireplace in the room DOES NOT mean it works! Would recommend this inn.

We found the Riverview Inn while searching for lodging late in the afternoon. We got the inkeeper's phone number from the door of the motel across the street. She greeted us, showed us the bedrooms, and served wine and cheese once we checked in. We stayed in a comfortable room at the back of this historic Southport riverfront house. From... More

We were staying at Lois Jane's with other wedding guests for a friend's wedding. We rented Skip's lower suite so we have our own doorway to enter when coming in late at night and we didn't disturb others. The shops downtown are within walking distance as are The Provision Co. and Fishy Fishy. We greatly enjoyed the breakfast! would strongly... More

Love Lois Jane's! We have stayed at this wonderful bed and breakfast twice this summer. The accommodations feel like home. The breakfast is delicious. And the staff is so welcoming. Would HIGHLY recommend Lois Jane's Riverview Inn.

I have been visiting the Riverview Inn (not the bed and breakfast, but the motel) for the past few years and will continue to do so until I am unable. The rooms are basic yet tastefully decorated. The motel is within walking distance of many great restaurants, the staff is friendly and efficient, and the price is not outlandish. The... More

While travelling alone as a female, I was looking for a safe, inviting environment. I got so much more. The inn is beautifully decorated and well-kept, the staff was very helpful and friendly, Miss Mary's room was exquisite and the full breakfast was well prepared. I look forward to spending more time here!
