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. More

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...

This is a beautifully and lovingly restored 18th century building, formerly a private home, farm, and roadside tavern from the early days of Williamstown. This is a living museum, and every effort has been made to make this B&B a comfortable and restful place for travelers, while as much as possible preserving the historic integrity of the site. The owners,... More

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. More

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

I have only the nicest things to say about this B&B! We found it accidentally, after our first B&B forgot about our reservation, but am so glad we did! Dave and Judy (the owners) were so sweet and accommodating--they welcomed us in for an impromptu evening, and even gave us a nice last-minute discount. Dave led us on a wonderful... More

We just found the River Bend in '07 and regret not finding it sooner. This year Dave and Judy have added ac to each bedroom and kept the level of service, cleanliness, and continental breakfast high. Dave even put up a hammock for us to laze in between activites. A step back in time. A place to refresh your body... More
