WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING:
Enjoy a refined Afternoon Tea Experience at Riversong Inn Retreat, nestled on 26 acres of serene mountain beauty near Rocky Mountain National Park. Choose your setting: inside the warm and inviting Lodge, in a private outdoor gazebo surrounded by nature, or beside the tranquil river. Each experience features a curated selection of premium loose-leaf teas, complemented by multiple courses of charcuterie, delicate tea sandwiches, and house-made sweet treats. Thoughtfully prepared and seasonally inspired, each of the courses are designed to be savored at a relaxed pace. After tea, guests are invited to explore the grounds, including access to our private scenic 7 Benches Trail, offering peaceful viewpoints, fresh mountain air, and a truly restorative escape.

AFTERNOON TEA FAQs
Yes, we can accommodate parties up to 20 by the River, 6 in the Gazebo and 12 in the Lodge. You can book online for parties up to 10. If your party is over 10 please email us at afternoontea@romanticriversong.com.
We love kids, though Riversong Inn Retreat is typically an adults-only venue for our bed & breakfast. For afternoon tea we permit children, though they are charged at the full price as we do not have a child’s menu. We would suggest children coming only if they are 10+ years old as to not impact the serene experience of other guests.
Please email our team at afternoontea@romanticriversong.com at least 72 hours before your reservation.
You may cancel or change your booking online up to 7 days prior to your reservation and receive a full refund. After this date we have already started purchasing and preparing for your reservation. In the event of an emergency please contact us at afternoontea@romanticriversong.com to discuss if we can accommodate your request.
Afternoon Tea is “reservation only” as we prepare items specific to what is on our schedule for the upcoming day(s). We are unable to accommodate walk-ins.
The tea requires a pre-payment as we have a high demand/limited tables available and we make everything fresh to order. Requiring a pre-payment helps keep our processes in alignment as we prepare for your arrival and ensure that you have a fabulous afternoon tea experience.
The Riversong Inn Retreat was built in the early 1900s and is not set up to be ADA accessible in the main common areas, unfortunately. There are stairs leading up to the lodge and there is uneven terrain/steps leading to the Gazebo. There is a somewhat level path leading to the pavilion by the river AND we have a golf cart on site that can help transport people down to the pavilion if needed.
