About us

A Place for Fun & Connection

Historic Rivermill is a heritage farm by the river, but really, it's a place for fun and connection. Couples, families and friends all come to spend time together, and everyone finds something to enjoy together, no matter their age. There's laughter and play in the simple things, connecting with each other and with nature, along the riverside, with the alpacas, the goats and all the animals, or over a meal at our riverside café. That's part of what makes Rivermill special.
