Our six private suites are distinctly different in décor yet comparable in comfort, featuring deluxe linens, plush robes, and upscale toiletries. Tastefully designed with subdued elegance, each room incorporates a piece of the story behind such a grand and historic countryside estate. Your overnight stay at The River House includes a lovingly prepared homemade breakfast and a savory six-course dinner curated by Chef Thomas Sheridan. For additional amenities, inquire about on-site spa services, outdoor recreation on the estate, or recommended local outings.
