— guest

Step away from the ordinary corporate meeting venue to something extraordinary. Experience attention to detail and southern hospitality in the comfort of a beautifully restored historic bed and breakfast. On the National Register of Historic Places, this historic guesthouse has been completely restored with modern amenities while maintaining the simple beauty of a bygone era. Overlooking the White River, the Calico Riverview Inn is a place to retreat, renew and restore.

Meeting & Event Space

After a sumptuous freshly prepared breakfast, our dining room becomes your board room. The original 1923 dining table seats ten comfortably with an additional table for four available. We can assist with a large monitor for presentations. Additional meeting space is available across the street at the Calico Rock Museum and Visitor’s Center in The Nook. The Nook offers a larger space with tables and chairs, AV equipment, bathroom facilities and a catering kitchen.

We are happy to create an extended menu to include lunch, dinner, all day snacks and beverages to meet the needs of your group. Evening beverages and light appetizers can be enjoyed inside or on either of the two main balconies overlooking the river. Relax in our retro original 1950’s era lawn chairs while playing a game of baggo or just enjoying the outdoors by the fire pit. Some days the best thing about Calico is the quiet solitude with nothing to do but count the cars as they cross the bridge at night while talking and listening and just breathing under the stars. This is your retreat, and we can help you have it your way.

Calico Rock has several locally owned cafes and coffee shops while other establishments are just outside of Calico Rock.
