As an amputee, I experienced the cabin this time and found that they have handicapped accessible rooms with showers and a built in bench. The toilets have handicapped accessible bars. The classroom building is a great addition with modern equipment monitors and all. These facilities are large enough for three hundred people. The Episcopal diocese office has moved on campus. They have plans to add a section of hotel type rooms. In the fifteen years, the conference center has moved from rustic to a more modern center. The next shift will make it much more useful for those who are looking for up to date center to use. Another plus is that Super Shuttles traverse between the center and the Tampa Airport.

They have a large outdoor area with a playground for kids and lots of tables. There is a small bar inside, and they are renovating more interior space for additional seating for the hot summer months. The wines are overall pretty tasty. They only grow muscadine grapes on the property and import other grapes from California and elsewhere. They have a selection of drier wines all the way to the sweet fruit wines. They also offer wine sorbets. My husband and I each got a wine flight of 4 wines for $18. I forgot how big the pours were but they were a decent size. They also offer wine tasting experience of 6 wines, smaller pours, that lasts 45 minutes. They have a small section of food. We got the pimento cheese and crackers, the cheese was delicious. They also had popsicles and ice cream, which my kids enjoyed. We got three bottles of wine to take home with us! We love supporting our Florida wineries! Also, our bartender Shelley was fantastic! Very personable and knowledgeable.

Nice location, glad they have music on the weekends. Wine tasting was $18.79 for 4 tastings!…read more Pretty pricey for mediocre wine. We enjoyed sitting outdoors so that was nice but for the prices - no way would I go back. Too bad...this place has a beautiful outdoors & I like that they are having music but the prices they are charging do not make it worth it for me to go back.....

We held our rehearsal dinner at the Riverhouse for my son and daughter-in-law's wedding the next…read moreday. About 30 guests were in attendance. We chose this venue because of it's location in proximity to the wedding (Baker's Ranch), the price, the menu, and mostly because of the room itself and the views of the sunset over the Manatee River. When we first met with Cindi many months ago, she already knew the time of sunset on March 9. That speaks for itself. We set the end of cocktail hour to coincide with that time, and worked everything backwards from there for the rehearsal. The sun cooperated on the day of the event and everything was magical. We choose an open bar, appetizers, and a menu of about five entrees. The food was all very good, but I wouldn't call it excellent. The mahi-mahi was a tad too done. The brisket was close to excellent. I didn't have the island tacos, but heard they were a hit. The coconut shrimp was perfect. So a mix. Appetizers were generous. We selected "premium level" beer and wine and liquor for the bar. Mostly I was happy with that choice - good beer and liquor, except I felt that the Chardonnay options brought it down a notch. We asked for a slightly better Chardonnay, and the best we could get was still not so great. Wine lovers need a little more value in an event like this, and a better white would help to improve the overall value of the premium selection. The venue and the staff are the reason the rating is high. Cindi was very helpful and accommodating from the time we first met in the fall, but really showed her professionalism on the night of the event. She and her team were friendly and helpful, paying attention to detail and flexible in meeting our needs. Big kudos to the staff!

Absolutely amazing. Working with the Riverhouse was like a dream come true for my out of town…read morewedding. I had so little time and flexibility, but Cindi and the team at the Riverhouse consistently went above and beyond to make everything so easy and perfect with me. I cannot imagine what my wedding would have been like without them. They are FANTASTIC and I whole-heartedly recommend this venue to all my friends and family. The venue is beautiful, food is delicious, and the people are amazing.

This is more like a destination resort - just no spa - than a B&B.

Just across the Manatee River from downtown Bradenton, they offer a magical getaway without the long journey. All Covid protocols are observed and the spacious home is spotlessly clean, offering four suites - two with with gorgeous river views - and three other guest rooms along with an enclosed wraparound porch dining area with unobstructed views.

Emerson Preserve and the beach is a short drive for fresh air, hiking and more chilling. The hosts are warm, friendly and just delightful, making your stay special. This was simply incredible and so helpful for us to relax and recharge. The pics say it all...we'll be back
