River Landing Inn       

The River Landing Inn has been established to provide a unique experience for those seeking a place to relax, unwind, and rejuvenate.  A long trip to the mountains or coast is not necessary for those seeking to escape the hustle of every day life.  The proximity to most areas of the Triangle and Triad make this the perfect place to escape to a quieter place.  Should you choose to tour the local wineries, kayak or canoe on the Haw River, take leisurely walks on the grounds of the Inn, or just sleep, eat, read and relax; you are sure to enjoy your stay.  We look forward to hosting you at the River Landing Inn.

 Innkeeper/owner Matt Diehl has lived in North Carolina since 1996.  A native of the Hudson Valley Region of New York, he has also lived in Phoenix, Arizona prior to relocating to central North Carolina.  A passion for food, drink, music, and travel have been the base ingredients for the creation of River Landing Inn.

 A co-worker of Matt's introduced him to Dave Wilson in ealry 2004, when Matt bought an old farmhouse in Orange County, North Carolina.  Dave, a native of the Piedmont, was a self-employed jack-of-all trades at the time, and had agreed to help install a two-sided fireplace in Matt's home.  Dave has worn many hats in his day, and one of them was as a cook and manager of several restaurants in Raleigh during the 1980's and 1990's.  The skills and talents to turn an idea into reality were now added.

 So the search began to find the right location to create a space that anyone seeking a retreat would enjoy.  That lengthy search led to this location in Saxapahaw, on what had been a small horse farm previously.  The Inn reflects the character of the original barn, with many of the building materials incorporated into the interior and exterior construction.  The 12' high ceilings and numerous windows create an open and inviting environment.  The large common area and front porch provide guests the opportunity to sit, read, listen to music, and otherwise unwind.  The beautiful landscape is just steps from the building. 

 You are encouraged to visit the River Landing Inn for an experience you are sure to find pleasant, comfortable, and enjoyable.
