Run of the River serves an afternoon treat every day- to make sure new and returning guests feel extra welcome.

That's just one of the many little touches that makes Run of the River so special. This bed and breakfast is nestled about two miles away from downtown Leavenworth- but despite its proximity, the bed and breakfast still feels like its own private oasis.
