RiverBank Testimonials

I want to thank you for the wonderful time we had at your lodge over the weekend.  We needed a getaway and your hospitality and service offerings fit the bill.

I also wish to tip my hat at the visionary reusage of a great mid-century building.  Really…what you’ve done with that terrific structure is beyond remarkable.

We will be back…hopefully very soon!

We have stayed here several times especially during the candle light walk, at Lincoln’s New Salem Village. The staff is friendly and courteous. The rooms are large, comfortable and spotless. The Lodge itself is just totally charming with great river views. They even have a small but very good menu. This place is the closest thing you will find to a Hallmark Christmas movie lodge!

“What a wonderful get-away retreat! Such a fun alternative to a regular “hotel.” The kids absolutely loved every moment of being here, and it is in a GREAT location to be near Springfield without all the crowds and typical city busy-ness. Lots of great, cheap lunch options within a couple miles, and Lincoln’s New Salem was right down the road. Perfect!! SO thankful to find a family friendly retreat, both affordable and absolutely fun at the same time. Thank you soooo much!!!”

“Wife and I just stayed 3 days for Son’s Wedding and enjoyed it very much. Staff was friendly and hotel was very clean and quiet. Nice lounge inside and enjoyed a few cocktails.”

“We love going to the excellent shows at Theater in the Park at New Salem!  Since we are from Decatur, we appreciate having a place nearby to stay after the show ends.  RiverBank Lodge has been perfect for us!”

“Loved the place! Very cozy little getaway for my wife and I. Nice little bar and lounge so we didn’t even have to leave to have some food and a few drinks. Can’t wait to go back!”
