Treat yourself to a casual yet elegant getaway at the River House Inn, a spacious National Register Victorian home built in 1860 on the beautiful Pocomoke River.

The bed and breakfast is located on Maryland's Eastern Shore in the village of Snow Hill, where you can be as active or relaxed as you choose; the possibilities are endless. The area is rich in history and natural beauty, with canoeing, boating, beaches, wildlife preserves, biking, swimming, fishing, and golf virtually at your door.

Among the 25 proud recipients of the second annual America's Favorite Inns Awards, River House Inn was the only inn in the state of Maryland to be selected for this honor. Selected from the 2000 inns, B & B and small hotels described in America's Favorite Inns, B & B and Small Hotels, by Sandra Soule, each establishment has been carefully evaluated by the series' editors and readers for its high standards of hospitality, comfort, food, and decor.

The River House Inn has four Victorian buildings in a lovely rambling setting on over two acres of rolling lawn that lead down to the River. It provides modern amenities along with the charm of fireplaces in spacious rooms, plus plenty of porches on which to relax. All four of the cottage rooms and suites are air-conditioned and have television, VCRs, fireplaces, private baths, and whirlpool tubs. Three of the lodging accommodations include a microwave, mini refrigerator, and coffeemaker, while one suite has a full kitchen. The heated 25 x 40 foot swimming pool with gazebo was completed in June 2004.

A full breakfast is included in the price of your room and delivered to your door each morning at 8:00 a.m., and complimentary beverages are served. You may tie up your boat at the waterfront at no charge while you are a guest.

The village of Snow Hill, incorporated in 1686, is a picturebook of architectural treasures. A walking tour on old brick sidewalks takes you down picturesque streets past more than one hundred homes that have passed the century mark. Chincoteague, Assateague, Ocean City, and Crisfield with its boat to Smith and Tangier Islands are all only about 30 minutes away. Canoes or boats can be rented one block from the Inn to take you exploring on the wild and scenic Pocomoke.

The Chesapeake Bay, perfect for sailing and motor cruising, is only a short distance by boat or car. Bikes are available, and Nassawango Country Club, one of 18 in the area, will welcome you for golf.
