Extremely helpful staff with late checkin- we arrived after 11 but were able to reach Sarah who came down asap and checked us in. Breakfast which was included met with expectations.

We stayed here for a night and loved the cozy nostalgic atmosphere. Quaint and clean room with friendly staff. Had to leave early so didn’t get to have breakfast, but the warm rolls with cinnamon butter and apple butternut soup I had for dinner were amazing. Lovely river view from out room. Highly recommend!

We love the Wayside Inn! We’ve been staying 2-3 times a year for 4 years. The rooms a lovely; the inn is cozy; the included breakfast is delicious, as is the restaurant for dinner. The view from the dining room is beautiful every season. Sarah, the owner, and her family are absolute delights-it’s a privilege to have gotten to know them a bit over the years-and we look forward to many more years of visits.

The innkeeper and the entire staff were very friendly, accommodating and efficient. The breakfast and dinner offerings were delicious. The decor was just what we were expecting in a rural inn.
We would definitely stay here again.

Sarah was very friendly.The property manager (didn"t get his name) was wonderful. He made a delicious breakfast. The room overlooking the river was perfect. The only thing that could have been better was the dining room, very cave like. The dinner menu was limiting and not really good.
