This review may suffer from nostalgia bias. My family used to come out to The River Inn every summer for Labor Day when I was a kid, so I have many years of experience here. Recently, I took the BF for a trip down memory lane, and it was almost exactly as I remembered. The River Inn is a hotel that is made up of condos that are individually owned. Each condo owner allows for the River Inn to rent out their units when they're not there. The units range in size from studios to two bedroom apartments, each equipped with a basic kitchen and amenities. There used to be a restaurant here that operated during the peak season, but that closed down a few years back when one of the restaurant owners passed away, so you'll need to bring your own food for the duration of your stay or plan on making trips into Hunt/Ingram/Kerrville for sustenance. The hotel has its own swimming area that is dammed to give it good depth. There's a floating dock you can swim out to and a water slide (affectionately referred to as "the flume") going down one side of the dam. The River Inn also provides canoes, life jackets, and paddles for those that want to canoe up river to Slippery Rock, a raised part of the limestone riverbed where you can get out and splash around in shallower water. The River Inn also has a family room with a game area that comes equipped with a ping pong table, pool table, air hockey table, and three old school video games (Mrs. Pacman, Street Fighter II Championship Edition, and some other Atari shooting game whose name I can't remember). In other words, there is no shortage of things to do at this place. Some people stay here and use it as a base of operations for sightseeing in the surrounding area, but every time I've come here we've stayed on the property for the entire time, and I've never been bored, whether aged ten or aged [AGE REDACTED]. This year the BF and I visited during the first weekend of the off-season for the reduced room rates and smaller crowd and we had a splendid time. There's really nothing quite so amazing as planning your day around when you're going to go canoeing, then when you're going to go swimming, then when you're going to polish off those two bottles of red wine and 12-pack of Shiner you brought with you. I cannot recommend this place highly enough, whether it be for a family vacation or a romantic weekend getaway for two. There is something about this stretch of the Guadalupe River that seeps into your bones and lets you release all your real world concerns, if only for a long weekend.

Not really worth going. The manager/owner could tell more details before going all the way out.
