Reviews for Riverside Lodge and Sauna in South Paris, ME
When I found Riverside Lodge and Sauna, I was in awe of not finding it sooner. It?s homey, inviting, cozy, healing, and Jen and... her family are incredibly friendly. Jen?s baking is on a whole new level of talent. She enjoys what so does so much that you cantaste it. Most importantly, she welcomes everyone with a smile and familiarity. It feels like my second home when I arrive here.The food is incredible, the saunas are hot and clean, and the massages are extremely relaxing. Jen?s even begun instructingrestorative yoga on occasion in front of the woodstove. I highly recommend stopping in or booking a sauna then grabbing a biteafter. Read more

Stayed for two nights in one of their rooms upstairs using AirBnB for two days of skiing at Sunday River. We arrived within half... an hour of last call for food. Service was cheerful and food was excellent nevertheless. Way above what you would expect for apizza and Greek salad in small town Maine. The crusts are handmade. Ingredients are simple but high quality and impeccablyfresh. Homemade dressing. Perfectly balanced salad. I don't know if they bake their desserts, but they, too are excellent. Thecrowd is a friendly mix of skiers from Boston and locals, including delightful, well-behaved children. There was a guitaristquietly picking out instrumentals by the fireplace. The sauna was wood fired and authentic. A pizza, a salad and a dessert lefttwo of us with half a pizza left over, which we ate for breakfast, heated in the kitchenette that comes with the room, whichalso has fresh coffee for the coffee maker and cream for the coffee in the fridge. Everything was the best possible combinationof family-run atmosphere and careful caring food preparation. We ate there Saturday night, too. It was so good. We'll be back! Read more

It couldn't get better! This is one of the most wonderful dining experiences I have had in Maine: a cozy, homey setting where... you might come in as strangers but you will leave as friends. Jennifer has done an amazing job transforming this business into athriving hub of the community. Her home cooked specials and outrageously delicious pizzas along with the most decadenthome-baked desserts make her a standout. She chooses to utilize real, fresh and authentic ingredients in all of her offerings.This unique experience offers a wonderful restaurant, an opportunity to get a massage or a Wood-Fired sauna, a glass of wine ora beer, a wonderful meal and even stay the night in her new Airbnb. Stop in and see for yourself... you will want to go backagain and again. Read more
Riverside Lodge and Sauna is a gem hidden off the beaten path. The service and hospitality were superb and the food was... scrumptious. Stop on by to warm your bones in their wood-fired saunas, or enjoy being serenaded by local musicians during one ofthe acoustic sets. Read more
