We absolutely loved our stay at River Wellness Lodge. The rooms are very comfortable, and sitting riverside on the deck of the lodge was so relaxing and peaceful. I only wish we had time to stay more than the one night that we did. Ann and Paul are great hosts, and we look forward to our return!

Received a very friendly welcoming from Paul on arrival. We immediately felt comfortable, and the place was just beautiful. We truly enjoyed being there. We were blessed to have the opportunity to get to know Paul and Ann, we consider our time chatting with them as one of the gold nuggets of our weekend. We came to relax, and this place delivered. Ann also makes delicious treats and has them out to enjoy! Special thanks Ann. We are looking forward to another stay, and recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing stay provided by amazing people. Thank you again.

If I could put 10 stars, I would! Nothing sums up our stay better than saying it was a dream. Every detail Paul & Ann put into this beautiful lodge is noticeable! Exceptionally clean, peaceful, serene, romantic, relaxing….I could go on and on! We were their very first air B&B guest and they were BY FAR the kindest, most considerate, thoughtful & personable, host I’ve even encountered. Ann’s love for serving others is obvious and stems from a biblical foundation. Throughout the lodge are sentiment details representing our Lord and Savior. The efforts they showered us with will forever be burned into our memories. The views are breathtaking, we were generously upgraded to the Panoramic Window Room, from the Premium room. And wow! It was divine! It included a faux fireplace, couch, jacuzzi bathtub, open double shower, king and queen sinks, full size dresser/closet, private entrance and deck. The lodge also offers and AMAZING spa room which we will engage in when we have more time during our next stay! The river was beautiful and the lodge had kayaks available, which we also plan to take advantage of when the weather warms up. 100/100 recommend! We can’t thank Paul and Ann enough, our hearts are so full!

This place was a cozy and peaceful oasis and Ann and Paul are gracious hosts. Would highly recommend!! Rooms were very clean, beds were very comfortable and the views of home literally sits on the river bank. We stumbled on this place and so glad we did - we rarely write reviews but this place is a hidden gem!

So happy we stumbled upon this place. It was so serene and beautiful. Makes you never want to leave! I manage a successful business and can say from experience that the best businesses are made by good people. I can tell that Ann-one of the owners- is good people. She was very attentive and kind. Ms. Becky checked us in and was simply lovely and warm. We felt very welcomed by everyone. We will definitely be returning!

A great learning experience! I highly recommend it to everyone; particularly if you're interested in improving your health and lifestyle. The accommodations were outstanding, the various tests performed were enlightening, and the food was healthy and tasty. A retreat that my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed and plan to repeat in the future.
