We stayed here for two nights in March and absolutely loved Riverrun. The location is superb with the most amazing 360 degree views. The lodge is very spacious and beautifully furnished. Our bedroom was very large and comfortable, on the ground floor with a small patio where it was great to sit and read and drink in the beautiful scenery.... More

Thanks so much - it is so good in the middle of a busy season to find such positive reviews. I'm always aware that we can do better - but the weather certainly helped these last few months! Karen appreciated the comments too. More

we had the pleasure of staying at Riverrun for 2 nights in November 2012. We could easily have spent more nights, not only because of the many activities available in the area but also because we had a very nice stay at Riverrun. Great hospitality, nice food and wine, very good service and a good place to relax and just... More

We spent a night here between Christmas and New Year and absolutely loved it. Felt so much at home. Food was fantastic, Meg is a wonderful host, and the location is out of this world. I would highly recommend this lodge and would love to visit again. Thanks Meg! The Dougan family

Could not have had a more wonderful stay. Location is beautiful and peaceful. Meg is wonderful and has excellent advice for excursions. Food is wonderful, and should plan to have dinner in town one night, and at the lodge one night. Don't pass this up!

My husband and I stayed at Riverrun during our honeymoon and have nothing but wonderful things to say about it. The room and the grounds were both fantastic. We enjoyed sitting out on the porch, soaking in the hot tub, and taking a hike on the property. The house itself is beautiful, made out of reclaimed wood. Meg is such... More
