Riverview Mansion - Golconda

My Aunt Cindy owned this Mansion back in the 80s ,when I was little , so many memories there, hopefully one day I can go stay a night and visit all my wonderful friends from Golconda

Beautiful old mansion but run down and poorly managed. Place needs serious updates ASAP. I'm surprised it hasn't been cited for code violations. The electrical work looks like it's at least 60 years old and dangerous.

A great stay at this historic b and b, it's was like staying with the cool family members, you actually like

The riverview inn is a unique and dark historic home filled with interesting antiques and electric decor. It was a good location for hiking in the Shawnee forest and checking out some of the local attractions such as breweries in Paducah and the Superman Museum in metropolis. We were greeted with a gift bag with snacks, a bottle of wine, and bath stuff like Loofahs, hairbrush, etc.The Victorian style room was large with an attached bathroom. There was a mini fridge and a coffee maker in the room . The mini fridge was stocked with breakfast foods packaged pastries, yogurts, bananas). It had a weird smell to it, previous guests must had left some old food in the freezer part that I threw out, after that it was fine. There is wifi in the home that is somewhat spotty but I did have cell phone service in the town of Golconda which was nice not the case in some of the surrounding areas).There is a little bar downstairs with a large beer and wine selection. The owner will cook food for you and serve it to you down there on weekends or will bring it to your room. Like most of the food in the area the food was good, mostly fried, and portions were huge. There may have been another guest at the time we were staying but I didn’t run in to any other guests or customers. There is also a local spot Divers down) that is open late-ish.The owner Beth was very nice and responsive to our needs, she offered that we can call her 24/7 with any concerns. She lives with her family and pets in the back part of and top part the home-they were very quiet. I met her friendly and cute tiny dog a few times running around the outside.The price was a bit high $200+ per night) and there may be more affordable options in the area but overall I had a very pleasant stay and recommend it for those who are looking for a different and unique experience.

This hotel consists of an old Victorian mansion, full of interesting items on display. You could spend hours studying the many books, pictures, knick-knacks, and other items in the place. The hotel has a relaxing, quaint feel to it. Our room was very large and comfortable. The place is run by a family, a couple and their 3 children. Everyone was very friendly. The bed was very comfortable and the air conditioning was fine on a very hot day. We got a GREAT gift package from them, with wine, a massage device, some candy, etc. . They have some interesting items for sale as well. We really loved this place, but I will mention some potential negatives. There are lots of stairs, so this might not be ADA compliant. Parking is on the street, but the neighbors are friendly and did not mind us parking there (we asked! . Because of COVID, breakfast was a breakfast sandwich and a cinnamon roll in the fridge, with some OJ. On the other hand, we had a sit down dinner there that was quite good! We just had grilled cheese sandwiches and a nice Caprese-type salad.
