English River Inn

I LOVED THIS PLACE!! We only stopped here for the night but I would have loved to have stayed longer. The property is absolutely beautiful, there is a nice place to sit by the lake with a fire pit. Ricky who was the staff working went above and beyond for me and my mom. I have MS and I’m always falling. I had a falling episode and Ricky was so concerned and helpful I really appreciated it. This place is so clean and so cute. I for sure plan on staying longer next time I’m through here. It’s a real gem. There is a bit of noise from the highway but that’s the only negative thing I could possibly say and it’s not that bad. Also, though we didn’t eat here other than breakfast the food that was being cooked smelled absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay Ricky!

Staff was very helpful and checked the room. We had stayed before so we made this a stop. Unfortunately our sink was plugged and there was garbage under the beds. Other than that, sheets and room were clean. No lights are left on at night so be careful. Will probably stay again. Beautiful scenery.

The room was very dirty, the toilet had brown all over the bottom of the seat, there were dead flies in the tub and on the floor in the room, as well as dead flies squished on the walls. Stay away.

Old property, clean. Heat did not work, even after asking twice to get it turned on - slept in jacket to make it through the night.

The host is very nice. He greeted us in person and brought us to our room.

We booked rooms 111 and 112 on July 16 2023 after seeing the "phenomenal" reviews. My sister in law and her husband were in 111 and after 5 minutes I noticed the owner walking into their room. Turns out their TV wasn't working but got it working. Some drywall was missing too. In our room however LMAO...the lamps by the beds don't work, tv doesn't work, the outlet between the beds doesn't work, they had multiple extension cords running throughout the room which ARE a hazard. However the beds were comfortable and we were given a whopping $17 off our bill for the TV not working.

This place is a 1960s style motel. The the internet and TV had to be PLUGGED IN, not such a big inconvenience? It is basic. That is where I agree with some of the recent, negative reviews. My wife and I checked in, July 11th the rates are posted on the counter. $110.00 plus tax. For a single bed. This is peak tourist season! The bed was a very comfortable. King Size. Our impression and that of a fellow travel was the place was clean. You are definitely in the Woods. Very scenic, on the river. We were conscious of the fact that if you leave the the doors open, at this time of year Flys and Mosquitoes would love to join you in your room! We sat on the very nice outdoor chairs, enjoying the scenery and company of fellow travelers. While having a few drinks. The owner joined us for conversation. (Although we offered him a drink he declined, understandably, as he is running a business! He seemed like a nice Guy!) The floor is "wood looking" vinyl flooring. (No musty carpet smell.) We would definitely try to arrange a stop here, if it worked with our travel plans! Would suggest, to the Owner, that having Microwaveable items like Burritos or Noodle soup available for travellers, such as ourselves, who didn't plan the stop have something available. There are microwaves and efficiency items in the rooms. (Stove, small fridge and Sink.) Would make it good for longer term stays, if that fit with your plans. In that case bringing some food would be imperative. I agree with Solotravellers review 2019.

This is a beautiful scenic location. The owner was very welcoming and provided great service. The place was very affordable and the rooms were clean and comfortable. We stayed here numerous times and we loved it.

Basic 1960ish motel in a scenic location. Our room was very clean and comfortable. Be sure to bring food because the nearest dining/grocery is 55 minutes to the south or 2 hours to the north. The staff very kindly microwaved the meal we had in our car and brought it to our room. Snacks are available for purchase in the office.
