Happy Holidays from River Ridge Inn!

As we wrap up another amazing year by the river, I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for being part of our little community. Whether you’re one of our loyal fly fishers, a corporate group that found a little peace here, or someone who simply came to relax by the water, you’ve made this place what it is: a haven for connection, fun, and life-long memories.

The holiday season always gets me a little reflective, and this year is no different. Seeing so many of you make memories—from landing that trophy trout to enjoying a quiet morning coffee on the deck—reminds me why we do this. It’s about creating a space where people can slow down, reconnect with nature, and feel at home.

To our staff, guides, and everyone behind the scenes: You’re the heart and soul of this place. I couldn’t do this without you, and your hard work and care mean the world to me.

As we head into the new year, we’re looking forward to some exciting things ahead (hint: stay tuned for updates). But for now, let’s all take a moment to appreciate the magic of the season—whether that’s with family, friends, or a quiet day on the river. (P.S. If you’re casting a line this winter, send us those pics!)

Wishing you all a season filled with warmth, joy, and maybe even a little time on the water.

With gratitude,

Megan Schmitt
