The Perfect Place for Groups to Gather

Riverside Inn’s spacious and well-equipped event center is a great place to get away and spend quality time scrapbooking, quilting, or crafting with family and friends.

We also offer a cozy bed-and-breakfast type atmosphere with 30 uniquely themed rooms. Plus, we have an indoor heated pool and spa, an expanded complimentary breakfast, high-speed internet, a comfortable fireside lobby, and a warm and welcoming staff that specialize in friendliness and personalized service.

Just Far Enough To Get Away

Riverside Inn is conveniently located on State Highway 23 in Cold Spring, only 13 miles west of St. Cloud and about 80 miles northwest of the Twin Cities. 

Our location is a short drive to quilt, crafting, and scrapbooking shops, such as Craft’s Direct and Gruber’s Quilt Shop, as well as many restaurants, bakeries, shopping malls, movie theaters, and more. Need recommendations? We’re happy to help!
