Sunbury, Pennsylvania - Northumberland County Seat

My visit to Sunbury was only a 1 night stay but I did it in style at the River View Bed and Breakfast right on Hiway 147 and the corner of Chestnut, which is a one way street going East. The house is beautiful and sits overlooking the Susquehannah River and a park with a gazebo. If you see the gazebo you know you are right by the B&B. The first Gazebo not the second one! I found the key as instructed and proceeded to empty my car and pile my items by a chair in the lobby area. I then reparked the car over in the back of the house across the street. No to convenient for luggage handling although I did park temporarily on the street till I collected my items. I had reduced myself to a few choice things to keep it simple for repacking.

I entered the River View Inn and was greeted with beautiful antiques, lovely floral arrangements, mirrors, paintings and rich colors. I love B&B's and enjoy seeing the details provided by the owners and their choices of colors, textures and decor. Staying at B&B's is always an adventure.
The River View Inn is a little oasis in Sunbury. I found a grocery store nearby and bought some food for my dinner. I was having trouble finding restaurants that would not mean driving across the river. So keep that in mind. Actually I was to learn that going to Northumberland on the other side of the river was not that hard and they had a better selection I suspect.The picture above is of the Susquehannah through the window of the B&B. So there are reflections of the glass.
