Riverhouse Lodge
Our room overlooked the river--and a crowd of very loud people partying outdoors until around 11 p.m. Yes, the water was lovely. Yes, we wish we had water balloons.

I Have no complaints. Laurie's Grill is right next door from 7AM to 2PM seven days a week. Bi Mart is a block away from the motel. Also, on the north side a block away is Walgreens and three places to eat.
