For one of our wedding anniversaries, Bob and I took a backpacking trip through Europe, staying exclusively at B&B’s. We were struck with the singular hospitality of our hosts; they treated us like old friends, helped us find all the best local spots and made sure we lacked for nothing. Three weeks later we returned home, but a dream had been born.

In 2004, we finally made the dream a reality—we demolished our single story house (literally by hand) and built the River Rock Inn with you in mind. The name “River Rock” comes from the rock used in our massive fireplace; each rock was hand-chosen and then assembled (like many features of the inn) with the help of friends and family. We hope that when you are here you can feel the special care with which this home was built.

One of our favorite things about innkeeping is visiting past guests (now friends!) throughout the world (you just never know who you will meet and where and when your paths will cross again!). We look forward to getting to know you and sharing stories.
