The Riverside Inn

"The Inn is a great place to relax and enjoy the most beautiful parts of Michigan. My girlfriend and I first did all the Traverse city wineries and then drove only 20 minutes from Traverse city to beautiful Fish Town to stay at the Inn. We first got in and sat down at the bar for drinks, the bartender was great and provided pleasant conversation the whole time. Drinks were done exactly to our liking. Then we had reservations for their New Years pre fix dinner. When I reserved a table for this dinner I looked at the reviews and to be honest they weren’t great. But usually when someone leaves a review it’s because they had a bad experience or an incredible experience, and seeing that majority of people are looking for something to complain about I went ahead and scheduled a reservation. And wow oh wow every course was delicious and done perfectly, we were the youngest by far in the room but we are old souls so it was super relaxing and elegant vibes. 10/10 would highly recommend trying their dinner service out. All in all it was a trio that was extremely memorable and we already plan to be back. The rooms are gorgeous and clean, the location is beautiful. Everything was solid! Well done River Inn team!"

"Always a pleasure visiting our friends at Riverside Inn. A small tip for those who enjoy seclusion and charm during the Holidays: Visit in December. An intimate and cozy experience, Holiday charm like no other. The staff are fantastic as always, but you actually have time to speak and get to know the staff better when things aren't so busy like in high season. I liken my December visit to more of a Holiday gathering to see long time friends. Menu and service are top notch as always. Well done, and looking forward to many more stays!"

"Everything about our trip was perfect. From the friendly check-in, to the stylish and comfortable room, to the generous drinks at the bar, to the deck of cards Riverside loaned us so we could stay disconnected on our overnight getaway, this was an amazing little trip. Not to mention, you can walk right into Leland directly from the Inn, so once we arrived, we did not need to get back in our car the rest of our trip. We absolutely loved our stay at The Riverside Inn and look forward to returning soon."

"We had dinner here and, WOW! Every bite we ate was amazing, succulent, delicious! The roasted chicken was prepared perfectly. The soup (a beet soup which at first I wasn't sure about when I ordered it) was delicious - layers of flavors and textures that really brought out the autumn senses. The staff was wonderful and the music and ambiance were both great too!"

"Great little inn located in one of the best places to visit in Michigan. We stayed two nights and love our stay. The rooms aren’t massive, but perfect for having a place to rest when you are out adventuring. The place was very cozy, quiet, and peaceful. We sadly didn’t get a chance to eat at the restaurant, but got a couple of drinks the night we arrived. The bartender was incredibly friendly and gave us some tips on places to visit while we were in town. The check out procedures weren’t clear so that was a bit confusing when we tried to leave. Also, the parking situation can be a bit awkward. There’s no real lot so you have to find street parking, which can be difficult if the restaurant is busy. Overall, those are minor points on an otherwise wonderful stay. We’re already considering returning next year. Don’t hesitate booking a stay here!"
