As always, the Riverside is a delight to stay in. Perfect for a weekend away playing games with friends. The kitchen is fantastic and well stocked with kitchen amenities for cooking and cleaning, and the general store down the road has most of what you'd need for making a good meal. Already looking forward to returning!

This place and history was so cool. Everyone that came loved it. Great Price and hopefully it will be available for next year because everyone wants to meet up again and enjoy the same place.

Fun birthday weekend with friends in a blizzard!

Beautifully restored historic inn. Bridget was wonderful, available and made sure our stay was comfortable. Loved the nearby Kendall Trail along the Youghiogheny River. Saw lots of wildlife!

Our group of 5 (and 1 pup) had a lovely stay at the Riverside. The kitchen was spacious and easy for meal preparation, the rooms were cozy and well outfitted with blankets/space heaters, and the large dining table offered ample opportunity for chatting and gaming. We had a picturesque view of the falling leaves into the river in front of the house. The property offered a welcome respite from busy lives, and we enjoyed our time very much. A great place to enjoy the beauty of fall!

Family getaway

The purpose of our trip was to be together to commemorate the birthday of a lost member of our family. Our stay at the Riverside was a wonderful experience. We had ample room to be comfortable and found Friendsville to be very quaint and welcoming.

Weekend Getaway

A small group of friends stayed here for a long weekend this fall and had a wonderful time. Although the town was sleepy this time of year, we found the people friendly plus it was a great jumping off point to many fun activities nearby. The house is a former inn so it had enough bedrooms and bathrooms to easily accommodate our group of 8. We would definitely stay here again.

Friend’s Reunion

Our group had a wonderful stay at the historic Riverside. It was nice that each couple had their own bathroom, beds were very comfortable. Everything was very clean, kitchen was well stocked - had everything we needed to prepare meals. Brigit, the host, is very friendly, helpful and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!

Always a beautiful stay

I've stayed at the Riverside a number of times and it is one of my favorite places to vacation to. The rooms are well-prepared, clean, and comfortable. The common spaces are wonderful for long games and movie nights. The kitchen is well-tooled. The view to the river is so peaceful. Additionally, the Amish market just down the road meant we got fresh produce for our meals! I look forward to my next visit already!
My favorite place to sit and have breakfast.

Great place for a family gathering

The Riverside is a great place for a family gathering. We had 7 adults and 6 children stay here for 5 days and it fit all our needs. The kitchen is well-stocked with everything you need to cook and serve meals. Our children played in the large backyard and we all took walks along the river and enjoyed the views from the windows.

Perfect For Our Wedding Guests

Our family was hosting a wedding nearby and was looking for a place for 'out of town' guests. This rental was perfect. It was spacious, with modern amenities, provided a relaxing environment, and close proximity to the wedding venue. Guests were able to walk to a nearby trail and coffee shop and had very positive comments about their stay.

Loved the Riverside

Perfect location for rafting the Yough. The Riverside has lots of character and plenty of bathrooms. We hope to return next year for our Father/son rafting weekend. We enjoyed playing cards on the front porch, campfire in the backyard, breakfast in the dining room, and biking around town.

Excellent facility for family reunion

Very nice, clean and updated historic building with lots of room. The location is fabulous right on the river. We had a family reunion there and everyone enjoyed it. This is our second time here. The owner is extremely helpful and very quick to respond to you. You won't be disappointed if you choose Riverside for your family or friends.

Great for a gaming weekend

This place is just wonderful, and I can't wait to come back. There was more than enough space for our group of 6, everything was clean and easy to use, and it was so quiet and relaxing. Being in walking distance to a few stores and sights was lovely. Will 100% be coming back in the future.

Feels like an old fashioned-bording house

This was a delightful stay. Not only was there a robust kitchen and adequate dining room and bedrooms and bathrooms but the ambiance had amazing charms. My daughters exclaimed "it feels like an old-fashioned bording house!". The front porch had perfect charm from early morning coffee and evening chats. The location was perfect (walkable for friendsville and the river, easy drive to Deep Creek Lake and area attractions including our favorites: Swallow Falls and Muddy Creek Falls).
A perfect place to soak!

Wonderful.

Beautiful place! Love that we could float the river and land back at the house. Great area to sit and watch the river and could dip your feet in if you wanted. Loved the front porch! Whole family was able to sit together. Loved the information provided about the house and brochures for other local areas of interest.

Thanksgiving

Our family gathered at the Riverside for a long Thanksgiving weekend. Thoroughly enjoyed that each family group had their own space and bathrooms. Use of the owners area was a plus and provided for a second kitchen and sitting area. Yes, it was cold but the heat sources kept us warm!! Would absolutely stay here again. Brigit was a great hostess and responsive.

We had a large group going to a football game 30 minutes away. The place was perfect. Plenty of rooms and bathrooms. Historical charm but very clean and had everything we needed. We didn’t have a chance to spend any time in town but there is a beautiful river right out front and we tried a pub down the street that had delicious food. It as perfect and we plan to stay again!

Awesome Retreat

The property is a great place to get away from the bustle of life. It is a perfect country visit with spacious accommodations. It was perfect for our board gaming retreat! The nearby park, place to go rafting, and electronic car charging station less than 1 minute away is also set up for families. The men can game, the kids and wives have plenty to do in the surrounding area. We will be back.

Lovely riverside views

The Riverside is a great getaway for friends getting together to hang out. The kitchen makes for great group cooking, but we spend most of our time on the porch gaming with the beautiful water and trees blowing in the breeze. (And thank goodness for the room window AC units!)
