River Roads Bed and Breakfast

Few people know, because I am a “word of mouth” advertiser, that I own River Roads Bed and Breakfast just outside of Glenns Ferry, Idaho. For more information, please check out the website. When I first saw the home we eventually purchased, I thought “This would make a lovely B&B.” And since we didn’t need the master suite, I decided to give it a try. Eventually when we built the barn, I commandeered my portion for an additional room for guests. You can sleep in the log house or in the barn, your choice.

Staying with us used to be a full farm experience with cows, a horse, goats, and chickens, as well as cats and dogs. Unfortunately we have downsized in the last couple of years, But you still get fresh farm eggs for breakfast thanks to the “girls” with whom you share the barn. And we have greeting cat, wild ducks and geese and deer that wander through on any given day.

You can sit in the hot tub and enjoy the view, or relax on the large cowboy porch and watch the river go by. In season there are wild blackberries to pick, always fresh eggs on your plate, and good company in the kitchen. I am afraid I am spoiled with having such wonderful guests over the years from all over the United States and a number of foreign countries. It has been wonderful to be the “armchair traveler” and hear about so many interesting places on a personal level. But our special treat is when guests return for additional visits, because then they are considered family!

Breakfast will fill your tummy until supper. I admit that I tend to over do it, but I don’t want you going away hungry! Always on the menu are farm fresh eggs and homemade jams and jellies, plus the standard breakfast fare of bacon, ham or sausage, waffles or french toast, and fresh fruit. On occasion you get a surprise! All of this comes with great conversation and some occasional story telling. We do enjoy your company!

So I can take this in any number of directions from here. And perhaps I will, given time. I could indulge in “stories” of my guests (all good – no worries), or I might describe what I have the pleasure of viewing from my porch on any given day, or I could even solicit or share some breakfast recipes. Only time will tell.
