Truthfully, we were the highest bidder for a one night stay at the Holder Family adoption fundraiser and decided we needed some away time from life; just time to reconnect. Wow, were we in for a pleasant surprise. We’ve lived here in Glen Rose for 10 years and have never given the Inn more than a passing glance while driving through the square. We always thought, “that’s just for tourists and visitors”. Boy, were we wrong. When we entered, it was like going back in time to a really rich grandmother’s mansion. Adorned with the usual holiday cheer, the interior had a nostalgia about it. We arrived and were immediately met by the Innkeeper who checked us in and assured us if we needed anything, even at 2am, she’d be there to assist. We were in Suite 19, “one of the best rooms in the place”, according to the Innkeeper. It was a quaint setting. Simple, yet comfortable. Perfect for two 25 year lovebirds who just wanted to get away from technology, dogs and homework. The room right off of the main bedroom had a day bed where we had a great view of the downtown square. After having dinner at our favorite Japanese Hibachi restaurant, we returned to the Inn and decided to sit out “on the River”. It was a very relaxing setting. All we could hear were sounds of the water slowing moving by, a variety of insects only found this time of year and the occasional snicker from the Mrs. (wink, wink). We finally retired to our room and had one of the best…nights of rest we’ve had in a long while. We awoke to the awesome smells of breakfast. Our waitress had, what sounded like, a Scottish accent and it brought us both to the old country. I’m not sure what that means, but as soon as I heard her accent, I knew I was there. The food was delightful and we went on our merry way.

I stayed at the Inn on the River in Glen Rose, TX in March 2017 for my brothers wedding. Our families and friends rented out the entire inn, and it was a fabulous spot for an intimate wedding weekend. The owners, Mike and Lori, were easy to communicate with and incredibly helpful. My brother constantly talked about how easy the whole planning process was (they didnt use a wedding planner) because of Mike and Loris knowledge and efforts. They even helped organize a babysitter for my baby during the wedding reception! The scenery and buildings are gorgeous and there were multiple possible spots for the actual ceremony and reception, depending on weather. They had the wedding ceremony outside under huge oak trees (using a large white tent as well), and the reception was in a conference room in a building separate from the hotel itself. We all played lawn games on the well-kept back lawn, and enjoyed walking around the property. The Adirondack chairs set up overlooking the river were a favorite among many of us! The rooms were pretty and clean, as was the entire hotel. The food was delicious and all of the staff were attentive. The hotel is in a great location on one of the "main" streets in Glen Rose, easy walking distance from boutiques and restaurants. I would definitely stay at the inn again in the future and will highly recommend it to my friends who might be in the area! Mike and Lori have created a peaceful, beautiful oasis in Glen Rose.

I don’t even know where to begin this review other than by saying that Mike and Lori at the Inn on the River helped make our wedding absolutely perfect! The Inn itself was a great setting for the wedding; we had the ceremony in their huge party tent under the amazing ‘Singing Trees’ with the river as the backdrop. Then we moved into their conference center for dinner and reception and everyone had an absolute blast. All of our guests got to stay on site which was another definite perk. But all of that pales in comparison to Mike, Lori, and the rest of the staff at the Inn. From start to finish they did everything in their power to make our day perfect. They really took it upon themselves to go above and beyond. Lupe, the chef, blew us out of the water with the meal she prepared for us all (seriously go just have dinner there, it’s worth the trip). All of the wait staff and grounds staff were as nice as can be and did a fantastic job all weekend to make all of us feel completely welcome. We’re already looking forward to another trip down to Glen Rose to see Mike and Lori and can’t thank them enough for helping us plan the perfect wedding weekend.

This place is absolutely amazing! I would definitely recommend for anyone who is wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. There are plenty of things to do around the town as well and then it feels like you are coming home at night. Delicious breakfast and a lovely gourmet dinner make this B&B the best!!! I can not compliment the owners enough!!! They are wonderful people that make you feel special every time!

I surprised my wife for our 40th anniversary by making reservations here. It was like a step back into a slower pace in time. Even on the main streets in town, it is quiet and peaceful and the views on the property with a fountain, ancient Live Oaks and right on the Paluxy River. Covered porches, rattan furniture, antiques, but with modern amenities, and BREAKFAST....DELICIOUS! Mike and Lori, and their staff are tremendous!

Great place. Bed and Breakfast with a dash of hotel and very attentive staff/owners. The breakfast is really good and the rooms are also very nice. Lot of history in the place and photos to look at. Easy access to the river if you want to get in and they also have a swimming pool.

Great getaway spot. River view is pretty and has a nice hangout area. Food is unique and tasty. Staff is courteous and helpful. Accommodations are modest, sufficient, and comfy. No crying babies or drunken college kids makes for a relaxing stay.

Much more than a bed and breakfast. This is a historic multi room Inn. Well staffed and very well rub. Beautiful, very comfortable, and quiet. Great setting on the river near the square in Glen Rose TX.

This place is so lovely and relaxing. There are no TVs. There is a green backyard and a flowing river instead! Inn on the River is the place to go if you want some restorative downtime.
