Steamers Stop Inn

Frommer's Review

Most of the riverside Steamer Stop Inn was built around 1910, with a harmonious addition completed in the 1930s. It's a rustic, homey spot, though the downstairs common rooms are furnished more with an eye to comfort -- some modern velour-upholstered, some Victorian -- than to attract any design awards. Historic touches add a nice patina, with lots of oak woodwork and old pine paneling. The guest rooms vary in size. Rooms 4 and 5 both face the road; the latter is the smallest, the former the largest and brightest in the inn. Room 3 has nice river views and the original bathroom with hulking old tub; Room 6 is a corner room with a view up the river, a pair of wicker chairs, and a relatively large bathroom in the former linen closet. The inn has two kayaks and a canoe for guests to use; there's also river swimming from the wharf, and an outdoor hot tub.

As for chow, the inn's dining room is about the only game in town. Dinners are by reservation only, and guests are seated in several pleasant dining areas; request a table on the screened porch if the weather's warm. The well-regarded menu features such favorites as filet mignon, scallops, and halibut.
