We made the trip for our 14th anniversary and we really enjoyed our stay at the Inn. The staff was very friendly and helpful during our entire stay. We enjoyed the breakfast and the beautiful views and well-kept grounds. It was a true get-away without a TV in our room so me and my husband talked, napped and relaxed. The... More

The Inn on the River was an absolutely lovely place to stay for our wedding weekend. Pros for this location: Delicious in-house food (be sure to make it for their complimentary breakfast if you're a guest), extremely friendly staff, close proximity to the downtown square, and a gorgeous view of the river behind the building. I would definitely recommend spending... More

This hotel is lovely and just a short walk to the historic downtown. We came to Glen Rose for a wedding and stayed at the Inn with family members from across the nation. RX for stress: Leave your Ipad, phone, even the book or magazine you're reading in your room. Walk to the back of the property. Sit on a... More

This is one of the most charming Bed and Breakfast Hotels I have personally experienced. The Staff is courteous and available. They were also able to easily accommodate a gluten free diet with seamless success. The grounds were immaculate and the Paluxy River runs at the lower boundary of the property. We took a nature trek at midnight and made... More

The Inn on the River is an amazing place to stay !! Pictures on their website is exactly how it is in person. Each room has a unique 'theme' or ambiance, and have wonderful view of the property or surrounding property. Walking distance to the historic square, food was wonderful, and service from the staff was spectacular. If you need... More

We booked the "girls' night" package at Inn on the River for a little R&R for two mommy-to-be friends before the arrivals of their little bundles of joy. Our experience was flawless from beginning to the end of our short 1 night stay. We informed the innkeepers of the pregnant ladies' situations, and they were great to accommodate their room... More

I am so sorry that this Guest did not have the positive experience that each of our Guest deserve. I was made aware of the situation first thing Sunday morning and felt that the InnKeeper handled it to the best of her ability. Upon arrival, the Guest was not happy with the room that she reserved. She did have a... More

For our 7th anniversary, I wanted to treat my wife to a couple of nights in a great hotel. I wanted her(us) to be pampered. I wanted the focus to be on us, and not have to worry about anything at all. Turn down service, wine, chocolates - I wanted all of that kind of stuff. I looked at places... More

Our stay at The Inn On The River was excellent in all regards. The ambiance was perfect, with the river as backdrop to the beautiful grounds. The food was delicious and impecably served by a friendly and professional staff. We would return to The Inn, if for nothing more than the exceptional food service. The facilities were beautiful and well... More
