An amazing place! The drive was scenic. The cabins are super clean and include everything you need to experience a very relaxing stay. It's been so long since I have seen so many stars. Great place, great views and very family friendly. UFO Buster Radio Network Podcast Approved

First time in Rio a and it exceeded all my expectations, I am beyond grateful for this experience. My friend actually set all of this up and I had so many reservations since I am a beach girl not a river girl, also I was afraid of the state of the accommodations. The cabin was spotless and very equipped. The owner Nancy is just so welcoming, helpful and accommodating; overall it was a great experience. I can't wait to go back and create long lasting memories with my children.

We stayed the weekend in the Arbor cabin. It was a very cute, very clean, cozy cabin. The grounds are beautiful. Staff was so nice. We rode out so they were nice enough to furnish towels, and bedding, which they state on the website they don't. If you let then know ahead of time you're taking a motorcycle they will provide it all. For a couples get away, it is definitely my favorite thus far.

We hold our family reunion here every year. We have tried to find other locations that fit our needs and I have not found a better place to hold our group. Pricing, location, river access, quality of accommodation and staff kindness cannot be beat. Owners are locals and appreciate the gem they have and work tirelessly to keep it beautiful. Highly recommend River Rim Resort.

We enjoyed the stay and clean cabin. Parking is limited some. Lots of trees! Whole location is on a bluff, so we felt safe. River access is a steep slope, but you can rent golf cart or bring one. 4-5 ft. pool setting is nice, too. Main issue, I'm a real big guy and it was 105 outside, so a/c was challenged too cool off cabin at 8 pm till 11 pm when it was still 97 degrees out. Probably no problem on normal days, and cooled off good in the a.m. hours.
