We had a great time for the second year in a row! Took the grandkids for a couple of days and it was awesome. The facility is a bit aged so don’t expect 5 star but they are simply perfect for a low keyed getaway. Kids had a wonderful time swimming and sliding down to water shoot. Very nice people stay there also. Met some good folks.

The room that we stay in needs some upgrades. The mattresses need replacing. I could feel all the lumps. The headboard was noisy and would hit the wall. The toaster didn’t work well unless you put it on #5. The furniture is pretty outdated. We were looking at some of the units around us and they were very nice. Room 126 through 128 were very nice and updated. Especially room 131. Next time I might suggest room 131 if available. But, overall our week stay was great. It was peaceful.

We have a family & friends reunion here every year. It is very beautiful & peaceful. We hang out in floats on the river & visit This year we got a very dated unit but there are some very updated rooms - it's just luck of the draw, and we really don't spend much time in it.

We've been visiting the River Inn Resort & Conference Center for ten years now, and I always hate to leave! This is the most wonderful, peaceful place to just relax and enjoy a few days away from the hustle and bustle of city life. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Stopped in for 2 days it was my first time and it is for sure a hidden gem to have a quite romantic getaway. The staff was all very nice and we had a good trip. I would recommend the river inn for anyone who would like a nice getaway on the river. The river inn also has a game room for kids and pool tables for adults a nice lounge and canoes and paddle boats. The rooms come with complete kitchens so you can also cook. Thank you river inn for everything we enjoyed our stay!

As guests of the River Inn on July 4th I am confident that the two people who pounded on every door at 2:40AM saved many lives. They were hero’s and my Family (26 members of my family reunion) are eternally grateful.

We absolutely love visiting the River Inn Resort! My wife and I make an annual trip to ride our motorcycle—well, mostly mine—on the scenic Three Sisters: Highways 335, 336, and 337. River Inn is our go-to place to stay. It's perfectly located on a beautiful road, and the staff is fantastic! Plus, there are some great dining options just a few minutes away in Kerrville. Each unit at River Inn is unique, as they are individually owned and rented out, giving them distinct character. The resort sits right on the river, offering easy access for canoeing, floating, and other water activities. The units come with well-equipped kitchens, complete with plates, cups, silverware, and more. While some beds are more comfortable than others, it's important to remember this isn't a 5-star hotel. Our favorite spot is the deck area overlooking the river, where we relax with friends and enjoy a cocktail or two after a long day of riding. We've always found the value to be well worth the cost. It's a quintessential Texas getaway in the stunning Hill Country. We’ll keep coming back!
