Riverhouse

South Berwick

My cousin and I spent two wonderful days here, while exploring the Maine and New Hampshire coastal towns (Portsmouth was our favourite with its historic buildings). Mark and Mathilde were our hosts at the Riverhouse and made us feel very welcome. But the highlight had to be Kit, their very friendly dog with a laid back personality.
 We’re so glad that we didn’t book a place on the coast, where all the towns were very busy and bustling with tourists. The serene calm of the Riverhouse property was the perfect place to relax at the end of the day.

Calm and serene

During our first stay a few years ago, we fell in love with The Riverhouse… not a BNB, not a hotel, not a bunk house.  IT IS however, the PERFECT place for those seeking a relaxed, peaceful stay in a comfortable home like setting or quirky custom barn loft, convenient to the Dover/Portsmouth/York/Kittery area.   

During your stay you may: see Eagles flying with coffee on the terrace or personal lofted barn veranda; enjoy a cool dip in the local swimming hole; discover many great area restaurants; take a trail run at the park down the road; or even make new friends in Mark and Matilde by enjoying their company and exchanging stories in the evening like we did.   The rooms are unique, clean, comfortable and private.  

That’s why when we learned our power at home was going to out for an undetermined amount of time due to the tropical storm in CT; we couldn’t think of a better place to “live” and work during a period of electric uncertainty.  We quickly gave Mark and Matilde a call to see if they had room for us for a week prior to our scheduled vacation in upper Maine.  They said YES!!!   We considered ourselves lucky!   

Thank you both for welcoming us in to your home again on such short notice!

The lights are on!!!

A group of us decided that an overnight motorcycle trip to Maine was a much needed break from reality. Riverhouse is not an AirBnb or an Inn. While the food and service is outstanding, it’s not a place where you are pampered and spoiled in the conventional sense. You are pampered because Riverhouse is a home and it’s owners, Mark and Matilde, are welcoming you into their lives when you choose to stay there and they choose to have you. The rooms are beautiful and the views and property amazing. If they cater your meal, you won’t be disappointed. The beer, wine, coffee and the like are just what the doctor ordered after a long day. And while they certainly clean up, make sure you’re taken care of, and make you feel welcomed, what makes Riverhouse feel special is that you have the potential in making life long friends with Mark and Matilde. They operate Riverhouse not because they need to run a business, but because they want to meet interesting people and share stories and travels. It is a very special and unique place that everyone should have the privilege of experiencing. One piece of advice, if you are someone who lives with a sense of entitlement and an air of arrogance for the things that your money can buy then I’d recommend staying clear of this little gem of a find. Mark and Matilde won’t want you there and you’ll ruin the vibe. On the other hand, if you want to be welcomed into an exquisite home and made to feel like you’re the most important person in the world to a new set of friends, then get their as quickly as you can.

Riverhouse is a must visit

I planned to visit South Berwick to see the place where my first several generations of ancestors began life in the USA.  I could not have chosen a better place than the Riverhouse!  It was within walking distance to the Old Fields Cemetery and Leigh's Mill Pond, both of which were a part of my family history.  Mark & Mathilde were lovely and welcoming hosts and provided much information about the local area.  Thank you, Mark & Mathilde and please let us reciprocate at our home in Bee Cave, TX!

Wonderful Inn with lovely hosts!

We very much enjoyed our recent stay at the Riverhouse. Lovely accommodations and terrific hosts. We were looking for a relaxing getaway for the weekend and were happy with the selection. Delicious breakfast. Highly recommend!

Great B&B

What a wonderful place Riverhouse is!  Our only issue was that we only stayed one night - it wasn’t long enough!  Next time we will stay for a few nights.  The property is spectacular - quiet, serene and beautiful.   We stayed in the room on the top floor of the barn - so cool!  It has been beautifully designed and is a wonderful mix of wood, windows, rustic and modern.  We loved having the screen door open to hear the sounds of the water and animals.  The place was spotless too!  In the morning,we had a great chat with the host for a while and provided delicious coffee.  I think we enjoyed talking with the hosts as much as the stay itself!  If we ever have the chance we will be back.....

Wonderful place - wish we could have stayed longer

“Location was perfect for S2S race.   The bed was AMAZINGLY comfy and the shower is awesome - we are looking at updating our bathroom and that would be my choice.  Very relaxed even though we were there a very short time.  First class all the way. Oh...my porter went back after the race start and was given a perfect fruit yogurt parfait and cup of coffee for the road.”

Beautiful place, super hosts

We have enjoyed staying at Riverhouse several times, both in the main house and in the barn. The rooms and bathrooms are beautiful, super clean and peaceful. Mark and Mathilde are fantastic hosts and have always been very helpful making recommendations and accommodating our needs. Enjoy your stay!

Great place to stay!

Picked this place as it was near a wedding venue we were going to. Picked the barn option not knowing if we were going to be brining our dog. It was beautiful newly built with a common area if you wanted to spend time. The room was clean and cozy and homey feel with all the amenities you could want for a one night stay. If we are back in the area ever this would be our go to spot

Wonderful experience

A beautiful location, close to nature. Excellently appointed rooms, with the most welcoming and charming host, Mark.
A real getaway place to switch off and relax.
Good breakfast and dinner restaurants within easy driving distance.
A chance to see eagles perched in the nearby trees or flying along the river valley.

Certainly one of the top three places that we stayed at in the world.
