The property was charming and had a relaxing vibe. I enjoyed being greeted by their fur baby! Pillows were a bit too fluffy. Keep in mind no frills room (no tv, fridge, cushy chair, coffee) but very cozy.

Amazing staff

The staff was very friendly and welcoming. It felt more like a B&B than a hotel. We were there for a hiking event as were many other guests. The staff went above and beyond with a special breakfast served earlier than the normal breakfast hours.

Lovely River setting, good food and conversation!

As I read in the reviews before staying there, Pam does do everything including the menus for the inn and the Tavern. But more importantly, Pam is very giving and has offered help to many in need especially during COVID. She also knows alot about the community and answered many questions that we had. We loved hearing her stories!

I noticed a few things in and around the bathroom that needed attention, and also noticed at breakfast that there seemed to be a shortage of sugar on hand when requested. The gazebo outside was also roped off, I am guessing for repairs.

Gem of a place

This gem on the Paluxy River was a delight Relaxing and extremely dog friendly with the most gracious of hosts. Breakfast every morning was a delight and the tavern/restaurant was outstanding! No tv in the small rooms but it was not missed and there’s WiFi if you must. The town of Glen Rose is quaint and lovely. So if you find yourself looking for a place to stay in the area, I’d definitely recommend Inn OnThe River.

Historic Getaway

Very nice and quiet location. Excellence place to unwind. Room was a comfortable size. We stayed in the Garden Suite which offered a nice sunroom facing the river. Very friendly staff. Town Square is a short walk about 2 or 3 blocks. Love the historical feel.

This place has so much history and the aesthetic is subtle and pleasing to the eye. It has a slight rustic feel, and each room has a guest book with entries as far back as 1994. The owner is very kind and accomodating, she has two of the sweetest pups living there, and her menu changes daily. Breakfast is included with the stay and for lunch and dinner there is a tavern that shares the same property as the inn and it overlooks the river. This is definitely going to be one of our go-to places from now on.

Highly recommend this place. A charming inn with a peaceful view of and access to the river. Beautiful old trees and lots of places outside to enjoy. The room was clean. Bed and shower outstanding. The included breakfast is like no other we’ve experienced. We were waited on at our table with river view and the food was amazing. Almost has a bed & breakfast feel. Also has a tavern with wonderful food.
