Visitors touring the scenic Niagara River Parkway are delighted to find this stately Georgian mansion. Originally built in the 1860’s, this historic country inn has both elegance and ‘old world charm’. Guests are welcome to roam its 17 acres of vineyard, as well as take in the view of the Niagara River; they find the Inn’s casual, relaxed atmosphere a welcome break from the area’s many attractions. Twenty-one rooms decorated in Georgian style, create a haven for travelers. Rooms and suites contain private bath, working fireplace and business services. Private balconies are the perfect place to relax with a glass of wine and enjoy the view. Fresh and creative dining, attentive staff and an outstanding setting offer guests a unique and memorable experience. Well known as a gathering place, its central location is the perfect starting and ending point to your Niagara-on-the-Lake stay.
 
Two sprawling staircases, each overseen by imposing crystal chandeliers lead to the second story of the Inn. Twenty one rooms and suites await guests at the Riverbend Inn housed on both the floors of the mansion. Recent renovations give travelers access to business services such as satellite television, and internet, yet still allow them to experience Georgian style and comfort with period antiques and artifacts. A conference room for meetings is also available. All rooms have private bath, working fireplaces with five of the rooms having private balconies overlooking the vineyards. Rooms are tastefully decorated in rich warm colours, with queen, king or two double sized beds available.
 
An impressive view overlooking the gardens, manicured lawns and sprawling vineyard, add to the superb dining experience enjoyed by guests to the Riverbend Inn. When the weather is favourable, guests will often pass the time sipping estate-bottled vintages on the 40 seat patio overlooking the vineyard. The unique 1890’s salon bar with roaring hearth and warm surroundings have made it well known as a gathering place for locals and guests alike. Creative, inspired country fare is served seven days per week in the 26 seat dining room with of course—a fantastic view.

The first capital of Upper Canada, Niagara-on-the-Lake has, in recent years, become known as home of the Shaw Festival, an internationally acclaimed producer of the works of George Bernard Shaw and his contemporaries. If golf is your game, Niagara-on-the-Lake offers the oldest golf course in Canada (golfers actually play in the shadow of Fort Mississauga, one of North America's earliest battlements), not to mention some 20 world-class courses within a short drive.
Cyclists can set off on the picturesque off-road Niagara Parkway trail that will take the energetic rider through Niagara Falls, all the way to Fort Erie. Wine and culinary aficionados will want to spend days touring the vineyards, wineries and restaurants, by bike, car or group tour. And when all the energetic activities are exhausted, take a quiet amble down dozens of tree-lined streets, past the carefully restored homes and businesses of Canada's founders.
