The original house likely dates from the 1870s and retains significant historical charm combined with modern amenities! We pay homage to our hotel origins with 6 tastefully appointed bedrooms, 5 with river views! Enjoy the large kitchen with a convection oven to make meals for the whole family. Dine on our beautiful covered front porch overlooking the Youghiogheny River. Relax and roast marshmallows over the campfire in the back yard! Need to work? Bring your laptop because the Wi-Fi is great - and you can work on the porch, with the river sparkling 20 feet away.
The Kendall Trail starts right across the river from the Riverside and takes you along the river to the ghost town of Kendall. Enjoy outdoor adventures including kayaking, whitewater rafting, and fishing on the Yough! There are local adventure tour companies in Friendsville who are available to take you on whitewater and other eco tours. We are easy walking distance to the Friendsville Community Park, a large, open greenspace on the Bear Creek with a walking/running trail and fitness equipment for adults. The Park boasts a beautiful playground, tennis courts, basketball courts, and a volleyball court for your enjoyment.

Enjoy horseback riding, boating, ATV rentals, zip-line adventures, and so much more.

Spend an afternoon at the Casselman River Bridge and Artisan Village in Grantsville. Try out the local Spas in McHenry, antique stores and shopping in Oakland, and fine dining throughout the Deep Creek area! You will be 40 minutes from Frank Lloyd Wright's famous Fallingwater and 40 minutes from West Virginia University in Morgantown, WV. We also have fast Wi-Fi, multiple streaming services on the television, and board games if you’d like to spend a day indoors.

Summary: Our family gathered at the Riverside for a long Thanksgiving weekend. Thoroughly enjoyed that each family group had their own space and bathrooms. Use of the owners area was a plus and provided for a second kitchen and sitting area. Yes, it was cold but the heat sources kept us warm!! Would absolutely stay here again. Brigit was a great hostess and responsive.

Summary: A small group of friends stayed here for a long weekend this fall and had a wonderful time. Although the town was sleepy this time of year, we found the people friendly plus it was a great jumping off point to many fun activities nearby. The house is a former inn so it had enough bedrooms and bathrooms to easily accommodate our group of 8. We would definitely stay here again.

Summary: Our family was hosting a wedding nearby and was looking for a place for 'out of town' guests. This rental was perfect. It was spacious, with modern amenities, provided a relaxing environment, and close proximity to the wedding venue. Guests were able to walk to a nearby trail and coffee shop and had very positive comments about their stay.

Summary: We had a great time at the Riverside. The house is charming, clean, and well stocked with kitchen and bathroom supplies. It was great to bring our dogs. The river and Kendall trail are in your front yard— we enjoyed swimming, floating, and hiking. Had good meals at both friendsville public house and mountain brewing company. It is in the middle of nowhere but sometimes nowhere is the place you want to be! Shout out also to Chris— the friendly and helpful next door neighbor!

Summary: Beautiful place! Love that we could float the river and land back at the house. Great area to sit and watch the river and could dip your feet in if you wanted. Loved the front porch! Whole family was able to sit together. Loved the information provided about the house and brochures for other local areas of interest.
