The River Inn

I have to echo the other reviewers, Margaret and Jim are absolutely delightful hosts and take every chance to make your stay welcoming. A very reasonable and elegant place to stay in a gorgeous valley. We loved listening to the river and relaxing on the deck.||Close to many different opportunities from the coast, to the river, to the wineries...||From the outside it looks like a rustic inn. But Margaret and Jim remodeled the upstairs into very elegant rooms. We stayed in the suite. Very luxurious, and excellent night's sleep on the firm mattresses. Lots of extra room for the two of us. ||Breakfast is not included, but there are several good restaurants that serve solid home-style breakfasts nearby. There is the issue of shared bathrooms -- the only option -- but not an issue for us

Three friends and myself were on a 10 day bicycle tour and felt extremely lucky to find such great accommodations in the small community of Elkton, OR. The owners, Margaret and Jim, went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We rented 3 rooms, one with 2 beds and the others with a bed each so that each of us had our own bed. The rooms are very moderately priced. There are two bath areas, one with a shower and sink, and the other with a jacuzzi, sink. and separate toilet area. The Inn is easily within walking distance to three restaurant and a couple wineries. As mentioned in other reviews the owners were friendly yet completely respected our privacy. It was a great night.

You will never find more delightful hosts than Jim and Margaret ! The rooms are clean and spacious with ample facilities and a cosy tea/coffee area. The bathroom and shower room are shared between the rooms but are spacious, clean and beautiful. There are patios and decks to just sit and enjoy the sights and sound of the river, however you will be drawn in by the warmhearted hosts and want to spend wonderful evenings chatting and listening to Jim's soothing guitar playing. This is truly home away from home !

Normally I wouldn't "lodge" so close to home, but Husband and I won a one-night stay here, and we followed through. Margaret is a delightful hostess, although we didn't see much of her ~ she greeted us, showed us the communal areas (bathrooms included -- three separate rooms, different features in each), then left us on our own, telling us to holler downstairs if we needed anything. :) ||We had the big room with two queen beds; normally I don't sleep well in an unfamiliar setting, but this was an exception -- greatly because it was so homey. Actually, my own bedroom isn't nearly as homey. It is obvious that Jim and Margaret have devoted much TLC into making the rooms very pleasant. The alcove with hot beverage options, microwave, and refrigerator is very welcoming, as were the bathroom

We loved this place. It was way better than any hotel. Ms. Margaret was so sweet, and her husband was awesome to. Their hospitality was so welcoming. If and when we get to go back, that's where we're staying. They were such a blessing. And we will always keep them in our prayers.
