We greatly enjoyed our time in the riverfront home! We had an excellent view of the river and dam and the home came equipped with just avout everything we could have needed. We look forward to another stay in the future!
Canât say enough about this property, inside and out. So much attention to detail. The house was so comfortable and charming. The river view being right across the street was great. Just canât say enough about this place. Would definitely stay again
Very clean and comfortable home. Rented for our in laws to stay and they loved it and the town. They even saw a Bald Eagle flying in the park. Owners were wonderful.
I rented the house for my mother who was visiting, and she couldn't have enjoyed it more! Wonderful property and the owners have thought of everything to make it very comfortable.
Highly recommend this rental. The view of the river is fantastic you are walking distance to a nice restaurant downtown and 5 mins to tube and kayak rental. They let us use the well maintained bikes for a beautiful trail right outside the door. They also lent us chairs for a concert at the BlueRidheMusic Center which was awesome. Extremely nice owners and extremely clean home.
My sister and I stayed here while in town for a family wedding. It was perfect for us and my sister wanted to make sure I left a 5-star review. We love the multiple outdoor sitting areas, especially the front porch overlooking the river. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen adorable, and the bathroom updated. It made our stay wonderful. We also appreciated having parking in the back, since some of the nearby homes only had streetside parking. It was slightly tricky to find, but after a few drive-bys (street side and alleyway), we found it. My sister and I 100% recommend staying here and will stay here again if we are ever in town.
Well kept, user friendly location in a sweet town. Lots potential for tip top outside activities like biking, water play, and fun things on grass (chuck a ball, frisbee, tag, etc).
Kitchen was highly functional and nicely equipped for making real meals.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage. A lovely wrap around deck with views of the river and lots of seating. The kitchen was well stocked. It had everything we needed. It was great to be able to store our bikes in the shed when we werenât riding the trail.
We loved this home. It was a super cold weekend, but it was so warm when we walked in. Something about this place reminded me of being at my grannyâs house and that made me feel extra safe. Itâs close to a steakhouse, cafe and a bike trail. It was too cold to use the deck area, but it looked very nice - this is a well loved, clean home!
Riverview Place was such a peaceful property and certainly exceeded our expectations. The home was very clean, and the owners provided everything to make our stay comfortable and convenient. We appreciated Richard's thoughtful communication and the historical preservation/significance of the property. We look forward to returning to this home for future New River Trail activities.
It was convenient to family in Galax Va. Also it was nicely furnished. The kitchen was equipped with all we needed to cook our meals. We like to cook our own meals when we can. Also it was scenic with the New River view from the porch. We plan to use this house again when we visit family. Thanks for the great stay!
Enjoyed our stay. Nice updates to the house. Good utilization of space. Very good, quiet and cool running AC. Loved sitting out on the front porch with coffee while enjoying the river view. Very nice updated bathroom. Great parking spot in the back. Bikes safe and sound locked in the storage unit. Highly recommend rental.
Richard & Rachel were great to work with, prompt, thoughtful & helpful! The view from the front windows & porch is wonderful of the river! It nearly sounded like the ocean! The home is nice & very clean! The kitchen is stocked with anything you need! I would recommend staying here for a getaway & can enjoy as much hiking/biking as you want as well as to relax! The New River Trail is right across from the home!
This house was spotlessly clean and a delight to stay in, and our hosts had clearly thought through what mattered to their guests. We came to this area to bicycle on the New River Trail, and the house included a separate locking shed for our bikes. Nearly everything in the former cotton mill worker house has been updated, making it very comfortable for us to spend several days cycling and relaxing. The house overlooks a broad, shallow expanse of the New River that serves as the âbeachâ for the town of Fries, VA and we spent many hours sitting on the covered front porch, absorbing the sights and sounds of the river. Sometimes it was over coffee in the morning, and sometimes over a book in the afternoon, in a rocking chair on the porch, with clever popup tables for each chair. The kitchen is fully equipped, so we cooked for ourselves happily for several days. The house includes a recently-added wrap-around porch with grill, tables, chairs, and sink, presumably to allow anglers a place to clean their catch. Many flowering plants and bushes featured in the pretty landscaping. As an added treat, we were able to participate in a local traditional Appalachian music jam, held every Thursday night at the community center. A thoroughly charming visit to western Virginia, courtesy of excellent hosts.
From the Bayous of LA to the mountains of the Blue Ridge. We enjoyed everything about the cabin. Super clean and everything we could possible need. Unfortunately we were there during the storm w no electricity so some better candles and lamps would be nice. Everything else above and beyond. Thank yâall so much!
This house is so perfect!! Has everything you could possibly need, and such a beautiful view on the river!! You won't regret staying here!!! Will definitely return.
Rachel is a retired Flight Attendant and Richard is a retired Police Officer...We live very nearby to both of our vacation rentals and will be happy to assist if needed...
