When my fiancé and I first decided to do this we were not exactly sure how a bed-and-breakfast like…read morethis would work because we are used to staying in normal hotels. But it was exactly what we were hoping it to be and EVERYTHING more. The experience as a whole was nothing short of PHENOMENAL. It was refreshing to get away and be around Moose and Tina who are such kind and whole hearted people that make you feel right at home. Plus they are SO fun to chat with. They went above and beyond to make the trip special. We started calling them "Mom and Dad" by the second day because they were taking such incredible care of us. The food was OUTSTANDING, we ate until we COULDN'T MOVE for every meal. The lodge is such a relaxing environment with so many cool elements to the decor and scenery. There is also awesome wildlife watching. A family of deer that come right up to the house and bald eagles that fly across the skyline. The stars at night WILL take your breath away (bring a telescope.) The beds are extremely comfortable and the rooms are all very spacious. There's not a single picture that will do the view justice from the top of the lodge but I have posted a few. It honestly looked like a green screen it was so beautiful. (note: None of my photos have been edited for this post. That cotton candy colored skyline is REAL! ) The fishing was FANTASTIC, the guides were hilarious and we so much fun. We caught at least 100 fish between the two of us over two days. It was so exciting and thrilling. (Fishing Highlights: Alan caught a rare California Golden and I caught a big brown trout.) Then, on the last day we kayaked on the Buffalo River and it was so much fun. The Buffalo River is hands-down the most beautiful rivers to kayak. Moose also helped us arrange the reservation for the kayaks. We stayed at the lodge over the Fourth of July holiday and at night we got to watch about 10 different firework shows from the balcony, near and far - you can see them all. I will never forget it. Overall, we will NEVER forget our experience and hope to go back as soon as possible. The White River Inn is a hidden gem. Don't hesitate. Make your reservation. Families, couples, friends, colleagues- every type of group will have a blast. Thank you so much Moose and Tina for the experience, we hope to see you again soon.

We went for dinner and will never come back again. The food was bland, unseasoned, overcooked and undercooked. How is that possible?? Everyone got a ribeye steak between Med Rare and Med Well, and it ended up coming out Rare to Well Done. The service was uninviting and unwelcoming. Those Trout Poppers were almost cold and contained no trout. Overall, I'm just disappointed. I hope that someone from Gaston's reaches out, because when we put a complaint in, they didn't seem like they even cared. I will post a follow up if they do respond to me, because it appears they only respond to positive review.

They were very friendly at the front desk at check-in and while we were staying, the swimming spot was nice the views were great. Friendly restaurant. Mostly friendly staff. The showers for camping were musty though, would suffocate you in mildew smell while u shower and your only other option is the other ones closer to the campsites which I wouldn't even step into. Definitely no bare feet in either shower and make sure you don't touch the walls. The float was super fun and beautiful, the boat guys were nice until our last morning, we hadn't even checked out yet let alone there was no info on a checkout time and were not near home or know the area much. We figured we would let the kids swim one last time before heading out and get some fishing in, we were all packed up. My children and I floated down the rapids and caught ourselves at the sand bar of Dawt Mill that we were just staying at. One of the boat dudes asked if i was staying at Dawt mill I said yes but we were checking out today. He then said well then you need to get the hell off our sand. right to me and my children. I got upset and said some words to the guy and asked his name for being so rude. He then told me none of my fucking business. I got out on the other side of the water walked up to the front desk. The guy had already ran up there with his buddy and told front desk whatever he told them. The front desk had no manager on site at first then the lady proceeded to say she was the assistant manager but wouldn't give me her name or the boat guys name. She gave no eye contact and treated me like a pest, She then said checkout was at 11am so just shrugged her shoulders about how he acted, and then said "that's not what she heard" and then rudely said sorry we've been getting a lot of ppl not staying here going on our sand so he was probably just frustrated. Which is not my problem when he made me feel so unwelcome and uneasy, ruined my last morning and we weren't even hanging out on the sand we just got off the rapids there cuz it was easier with my children in stow. I didn't think I'd be so unwelcomed not even an hour after the checkout time. After not being able to assist me properly she called the boat guys manager who then said that it should've been okay for us to swim there since we were just there staying out of the way and the guy just probably didn't remember me and that he was sorry for what happened etc, I said thankyou for the sorry and consideration and I was glad there was actually someone with customer service around, but we just loaded up and left and not sure if we will ever be back.
