Our stay was INCREDIBLE! First, apologies on how long it took to get to this review. It's been go go go since we returned. However, our stay here was so amazing that it hasn't left our minds. So, the "bed" part of bed and breakfast? So comfortable! The rooms were amazing and had such a sense of history. The rooms were very spacious and beautifully decorated. Vintage wallpaper and bed dressings give you the full effect of traveling in time to a bygone era. The showers and bathtubs were great. The tubs were the claw foot standalone type tubs and not the typical Home Depo special you get in motels and hotels. There's just something about showering in one of those tubs that takes you back. However if you want to use them, there are indeed wonderful modern jacuzzis available in the rooms as well which are super relaxing after a day of walking around and sightseeing and shopping. Things were very comfortable inside despite it being very hot and so humid outside. And there were extra fans if you needed them and you wanted to stay cooler too. The furniture is actual wood and not the cheap particle board stuff used with in so many places today. The wood just feels "rich and elegant." From the outside, you get such a sense of history. The place is absolutely beautiful. Now... the "breakfast" part of bed and breakfast was so filling. You will eat like you've never eaten before and will want more but won't have the space to put it. I wish we could have stayed an extra day even just for the food. The owner asks about your preferences and needs and does such a great job with the food. She makes a killer sweet tea as well! The place was remarkably maintained and the owner was so welcoming. She felt like a family member we haven't seen in so long, like a grandmother to us and our kids. She was super flexible about the check in and check out times as well, enabling us to get a quick shower in before leaving so that after sight seeing we didn't need to sit in our sweaty clothes for the next leg of the trip. We so much wanted to stay longer! It was such a great experience there is no doubt that we will stay here every time we come to Metropolis. Oh and I should mention that when you stay here, you do get admission to the Superman museum included in the cost which is just icing on the cake. So really, why are you still reading? Book a stay. You will not be disappointed. Five stars, fifty stars, five hundred stars! read more

If I could rate this fabulous bread and breakfast a 10 star review I most definitely would. Lori was gracious and informative that made our stay in Metropoles one to remember. Breakfast was prepared to perfection the room was elegant and comfortable. We will definitely return to the Riverview Mansion read more

Absolutely splendid! Great place, great people, great food! My wife and I held our wedding ceremony in the quaint and delightful chapel which was wonderfully decorated by our hosts. We stayed the night in the victorian-esque mansion, relegating ourselves to the warm glow of the fireplace and the relaxing magnificence of the whirlpool. In the morning we were treated to a most fulfilling breakfast reminiscent of Grandma's accompanied with a bottomless carafe of latte that rivals Starbucks. Afterwards, we regailed ourselves to the vintage furnishings and wonderments of the house including an operational phonograph and a bible from the 1800's signed and blessed by the Pope which was a real eye-opener given its yesteryear translations. Thank you, Lori and William, for making our wedding so special and so memorable. Much love to you and yours, from The Seprodi's! read more

Participated in a murder mystery dinner tonight. Great food great service amazing mansion and super fun mystery. Highly recommend.

Our overnight in Metropolis was wonderful thanks to the owners of Summers Riverview Mansion Bed and Breakfast! They upgraded us to a main floor room although all the rooms were charming. Fresh breakfast scones were delicious and they even sent a "doggie bag" with us for our continued trip. They gave us a tour and told us the history of the mansion and how they came about running the place. Very fun story, very unique and quaint place! Best of all was the warm welcome we received and the interesting conversations we had with the owners. read more

Lovely bed and breakfast with classy furnishings and a great bed. We stayed in the Sunset room. We greatly enjoyed our one night stay in October. The innkeeper, Colleen, was so pleasant and helpful. Location is near casino but far enough away to keep things quiet. read more

This was our first stay at a B&B. I have to say it was AMAZING. Henk and Colleen were the perfect hosts. They made us feel right at home. The house is gorgeous and very well maintained. The place over all is very clean and extremely comfortable. Henk made us breakfast in the morning and it was delicious. The room was so comfortable and cozy I really didn't care if we went out or not. Henk and Colleen were also very informative about the surrounding area. So much so that the local restaurant Colleen referred us to "The Grill", we ate at 3 x's while we were here. It was a perfect weekend getaway. We will definitely be back. read more

This place is top quality! Clean rooms and excellent service by the owners make it well worth the price! No one could possibly complain about the food either! Plenty of sightseeing to do as well within a short distance of the location. read more

My Fiancé and I had the sincere pleasure of staying at this wonderful and delightful bed and breakfast at this historic and beautiful mansion! Lori and William provided the perfect balance between genuine hospitality, excellent care, and also privacy and rest! The breakfast they created was based on our request and so, so, so very delicious! Our room was extremely comfortable and relaxing! The furnishings were beautiful and added to the historic feel of this lovely place! The large jacuzzi tub was totally relaxing! We will stay there again every time we travel through that area! read more

Best bed and breakfast experience I've had. The rooms are outstanding, large beds, claw foot tubs, jacuzzis and beautiful views of Metropolis. Staff was extremely friendly and breakfast was amazing. We were able to borrow bicycles and explore the town. I get the feeling that Metropolis gets a lot of traffic due to Superman but I don't think visitors stay longer than the time it takes to snap a picture with the statue and maybe visit the museum. My two days there was easily the most relaxing weekend getaway I've had in years. A perfect romantic getaway that will lighten your heart. read more
