The Riverside Inn

“We had our daughter’s wedding at The Riverside this past weekend! Everything was perfection! The food was absolutely amazing and the staff so caring , helpful and professional. They all contributed to making our weekend the most memorable and special weekend for our family. I couldn’t recommend a better, more beautiful venue and restaurant in Northern Michigan. The Riverside is permanently engraved on all of our hearts ♥️ Katie Belanger”

“We stayed here one evening to quickly look over the area for un upcoming wedding. Easy walk to downtown. Right on a small river, beautiful scenery. Food was excellent, we got trout and walleye. The bar selection can not be beat, this is a little gem in Northern MI.”

“We had a delightful stay at the Riverside Inn. The entire Inn and restaurant are clean and well kept for a 100+ year old property. Rooms are rustic but nicely decorated and comfortable. Coleen was wonderful to work with and went out of her way to meet our needs or requests. Dinner in the restaurant was expensive but the food, drinks and service were all excellent. We look forward to a future stay during the summer or fall so we can better enjoy the riverside views and short walk to downtown Leland and Fish Town. Our only recommendation would be to add a better continental breakfast and coffee station for guests.”

“During a spontaneous solo birthday trip, another northern Michigan property owner sent me here after they told me they didn't have any vacancy, and boy am I glad they did. From the moment I arrived, I knew it was something special. Sebastian greeting me at the front desk, giving me all the details I would need to make the most of my stay. I may be a bit biased, as I had the place all to myself, but the energy, atmosphere and people at The Riv made it feel like home away from home. After taking the bags to my room, I found it was the most comfortable, warm, beautiful modern-renovated room with an amazing view of the frozen river. Downstairs, I was immediately greeted for drinks at the bar (free champagne for the special occasion), thoughtful craft cocktail menu, immaculate wine list, 5-star kitchen and hospitality from Ryan behind the bar that you will never forget. Even the other guests were friendly and full of conversation, as well as the entire staff. If you are debating on planning a stay at The Riv on your journey, you definitely will not regret it - and you never know what may happen. Onward!”

“We really loved staying at The Riverside Inn. It's quaint and beautifully decorated, in the heart of the Fishtown village of Leland. The Riverside is also close to several other areas, like Travers City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Leelanau State Park. We also had dinner at The Riv and it was wonderful. The cocktails were also great - highly recommend!”
