The staff at the inn were all incredible, the first time they met you they greeted you with your name and all the staff always knew who you were anytime they saw you. They were always happy and cheerful toward all of there guests. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice clean and tidy. We also ate at the hotel and the food was wonderful. This was a wonderful place to stay, my wife and I actually had extended our stay because we liked it so much. Thank you to all the wonderful staff that work there, we can't wait to return

A lovely stay at a small inn. Greeted by friendly staff who went out of their way to accommodate requests. There are no televisions in the rooms, so it's nice and quiet. There's a shared mini fridge and microwave for guests and coffee is always on. Close to beautiful hikes, just ask for a list of local sights. Fine dining at the Inn overlooking the sunset on the Kennebec River or a fun pub, Boatmans, owned by the same folks just down the road for Tuesday taco night and ping pong. The king bed was deliciously comfortable, the shower and jacuzzi in-room were perfect. All in all a fantastic stay.

Loved our stay here!
We loved staying at Inn By The River. Everyone was so friendly, guests and staff and the food and drink in the bar and restaurant were great. The location was fabulous with wonderful hiking trails nearby. Although it was a bit of a drive to get to Grand Falls, it was definitely worth the time. One of the highlights of our monthlong exploration of the NE.

Very clean and it was great being able to order our dinner after we arrived! A very delicious dinner! Breakfast was also available and it was very delicious! The server/host was very nice and helpful with any questions we had about the area. Just a very nice overall place to stay! Loved having a door from our room go right onto the front porch. My hubby and I ate our meals on the porch while we could watch and hear the river.
