In the heart of old Southport and overlooking the Cape Fear River, this Inn is owned and operated by fourth generation direct descendants of the builder. The house, built in 1891, was faithfully and beautifully restored in 1995 and furnished with traditional period furniture and accessories. Many of the pieces are family heirlooms. Guests may enjoy the breezes from first and second story porches as well as a view of miles of river scenery.

Each morning, a full gourmet breakfast is served in the dining room. Custard Baked French Toast, homemade waffles or sausage and egg souffle are just a few of the delicious entrees that are served. The menu changes daily, but always includes fruit, fresh baked muffins, bread and pastries.

It's an easy stroll up and down the Southport River Walk, as well as to numerous antique shops, restaurants, historic interest points, the Maritime Museum, the public library, and other interesting locations. Guests may relax after sightseeing and shopping on the porches or in the beautiful library or parlor, and enjoy the gentle ambience of this family home. Lois Jane's Riverview Inn offers the best of modern amenities, old Southern hospitality, and Southport tradition.
