“We will be back next year, and every year after to celebrate our anniversary.
We are just so happy and grateful to Run of the River for helping to make our wedding dreams come true.
With deep appreciation,”

“We had an amazing time here. With three young boys, we rarely get away alone. Being able to reconnect and focus on our relationship was the best gift anyone could give.
We are grateful to Steve and Fanny for rescuing our van from the snow. The breakfast was spectacular. We plan to return many times in the future and stay in “our” room “up the creek.”
Once again, thank you for our beautiful, amazing stay.”
— Tom and Stacy M
“My beautiful wife and I just spent the last two days in the “Great Northwest” suite celebrating our first year of married life together. Such a special anniversary could not have been spent in a more romantic or serene setting. Your hospitality was truly heart-felt and we have never been more in love with a place (and each other) as this.
We will never forget this place!”
— Benjamin and Jill D
“THANK YOU for rest, relaxation and solitude. We loved the food, quiet and atmosphere. What a beautiful place to recharge. One Word … Wunderbar!”
— James and Lisa H
“Our 2nd stay here and even more amazing then in the summer! We spent our 5 year anniversary here and Jan and Kelly reached out early to make sure anything we needed they could help with and they did; from reserving a private sleigh ride and dinner to advising for a romantic anniversary dinner, they both went out of their way to give opinions and set it all up and incorporated it into our final bill.
We arrived after a good snowfall to truly a winter wonderland of snow (the Inn was well paved for easy arrival and parking) and holiday decor throughout the Inn. We were greeted by ROTR staff and showed to The Great Northwest suite, which I had requested the anniversary package and walked into a room filled with rose petals, 12 long stem roses, a bottle of wine and local homemade chocolates which enhanced the already amazing room!
The out of this world breakfast and table settings change every day and everything is local and homemade (yogurt, granola, fruits, butter) and using natural ingredients. It will keep you filled up well into the afternoon. There are no more than 12 people at the table, so it’s a small gathering with great banter of the prior/present day activities, where everyone is from and makes for a fun morning before adjourning back to our rooms, which the housekeeping crew takes care of while you eat.
The Great Northwest Suite is well set up for 2 to relax by the fireplace while looking out off the deck at the view and wildlife.
We really can’t stress the amazing attention to detail with everything...holiday lights throughout the property, winter made decorations (pine needles, sticks, cones, berries etc) throughout the rooms and property. It isn’t just an inn with rooms to stay in; it’s a well maintained with the love of bringing people together and away from everything. The variety of hot chocolate, coffees and teas that they have to grab and make starts the morning off right or makes for a nice night cap, and they make a daily treat (soft fresh cookies, various kinds of cheese cake bars) to enjoy with the drinks.
Jan and Steve and their staff have done an amazing job with this Inn, they love their 'jobs' which can be seen throughout everything like the hand written letters, the constant and ever changing decor and cooking such amazing meals.
Am sure they have many 'regulars' and we will be adding ourselves to that list for years to come!”

“The best place in the NW to go to escape and relax. They make fantastic, all home and local made, breakfasts and the attention to detail all throughout the property is just superb. No other place comes close to the quality of Run of the River.”
