Cozy, riverfront house - 15 minutes from Virginia Tech
BRAND NEW INTERIOR COMING APRIL 2025! This riverfront home sleeps six and is perfect for a family get away/girl's weekend/guy's fishing trip! There are two bedrooms- one queen bed and a set of double bunk beds. This home includes one full bath, a fully stocked kitchen, a grill, and an indoor fireplace. Sit outside around the fire pit and roast s'mores while making memories that will last! Enjoy beautiful views of the New River while only being 15 minutes from downtown Blacksburg and Virginia Tech. Dogs welcome. No smoking.
As advertised, on the river in a rural area, pretty views of river and hills, brand new interior, appliances and towels/sheets, also relatively close to Virginia Tech considering it was graduation. As it was May and on river, bring bug spray and be on the lookout but other than that, worked for us!
We had a great time at this rental. Perfect for our family and two dogs. The owners were very accommodating, brought us firewood for the fire pit and recommended a terrific restaurant for dinner, The Palisades. We would definitely stay here again and wouldnât hesitate to recommend it to others.
We had to move two Hokies, one out and one in to a BB townhouse. Having stayed at the Little Blue Cottage in the winter 2021 to take our Hokie skiing at Winterplace, we knew this house would be ideal for a multi day stay and a place to park our trailer and once done moving, tube the New River at the New River Junction campground next store. We had so much fun and the cottage is ideal. Comfortable beds and plenty of space. The scenery is lovely and we enjoyed watching the egrets over morning coffee on the small deck. It was so much fun and we look forward to staying next year and perhaps have more time to relax.

No WiFi at all, no phone signal. Hard to communicate if you have students at VT. Closest restaurant/gas/wifi signal is about 10 minutes driving. Water is well and it smells like sulfur, we had to brush our teeth with bottle of waters. Beautiful river and mountain view. Open backyard.
The property was perfect. The river was fast but perfect for tubing or kayaking (bracelet for shuttle at the nrj main property next door) ! Fishing is good if you go before its too hot or late in the evening (summer months). My son caught several bass & a 27" catfish! Firewood, on delivery! Perfect little snack shop with ice next door. Pots & pans in the kitchen you would buy ( not beat up from the dollar store). Tbh, the mattresses were a lil stiff but the couch recliners & throw fuzzy blankets were fought over. There is a sulfur smell to the well water especially when you use hot water. But it doesnt leave a taste on the dishes or smell on the laundry; its "country water". Took the dogs and my adult kids for a multi-day vaycay and made memories to last a life time! Loved playing in the water, fishing, bocce ball, grilling out and just good old fashioned fun. Thank you! 12 out of 10 recommend
Spent 4 days fishing the New River and enjoying fun evenings around the camp fire. Beautiful Location right on the New RIver. Jake, the host, was a great guy, made you feel welcome and right at home. We will be back next year!
Quite, Relaxing, and perfect for a family get together
The property owners were very nice and responsive. I rented this property to host my family Christmas. The temperatures were in the single digits. They made sure we had extra blankets, fire wood, heaters, and made us some delicious cookies.
The home seems to be in the process of being upgraded. Sleeping conditions weren't great...there is not actually room for 6 adults, and the beds weren't great. We appreciated both the outdoor firepit and the indoor fireplace. Wonderful waterfront location about 20 minutes from downtown BB. Host was friendly and responsive
Gorgeous scenery!! On New River and way from the busy life. Thereâs no Wi-Fi or cable so kids will learn the definition of family time!!! There are movies and board games which we enjoyed. Our dogs came with us which was extra special. Great communication with the owner Jake. He was also very accommodating!
Jake was a perfect host. The Blue House is nice & clean as well as being right on an excellent section of the New River for smallmouth wading. Perfect place to play, rent tubes and kayaks, and enjoy the beautiful New River. Jake recommended a local guide, Tangent Outfitters, and they hooked me up with a great day-long fishing raft trip. I returned to stay again about three days after checking out, which is the best review I could leave.
Excellent location. Nice river access in back yard. Owner communication was great, quick to respond and checked in a few times to see if we needed anything. Will definitely be back!!
My son is a medical resident in Blacksburg and couldnât come home so we decided to spend Christmas with him. The house sits right on the New River. Gorgeous view. We had several indoor fires though there was a fire pit too. The owner brought us some wood and we were thrilled. Perfect for a weekend with your mate, or a girls trip.
We rented this cabin while in Blacksburg for the VT vs ND game. It's about 15 miles from campus and it provided a peaceful get away. It's modest and functional. Had it not been raining a fire in the fire pit would have been perfect with the river flowing in the background. Only downside was my phone service (T mobile) didn't work well there Nad made communicating with others on gameday a little challenging. Also , no wifi or cable channels. Which is fine, but know that going in.
We had such a great getaway weekend, the property was clean, staff was all incredibly nice and helpful and the view was to die for!! Would highly recommend and we will definitely be returning!!
We had a great time staying in the blue house. We were moving a kid into Tech so coming back to relax by the river was amazing after a long day. Jake was a great host and always available if we needed something. Would definitely return!!!
Was a awesome weekend except for the first two nights of rain... But other than that my wife and I had a really great time. Cozy small house right next to river, had everything we needed except for food items. Property management was helpful with every thing we needed. Very peaceful and relaxing, just what we needed. We will be renting again in the future.... Thanks.
Perfect River House for hiking fishing and seclusion.
Great house on amazing property surrounded by the most beautiful scenery you can imagine. The mountains and the river are the star of this show. The road the house is on is a nature tour in it own right. Close enough to any outdoor adventure you want but far enough away to be alone if that's what you seek. It was a great trip we will definitely be back to stay at the little blue river house. đ€đ€đ€đ€đ€
The house was clean and close to the river. Jake was very responsive and helpful. One thing to point out is that there is an active train track across the street from the house and across the river. The trains seemed to come every couple of hours. Luckily our kids enjoyed this, but it might not be great if your were looking for something quieter.
Our names are Jake and Megan Mondy! We've been married for a year now and love this life that we're building together. Our time is spent traveling to our favorite places (Outer Banks being #1), enjoying the outdoors and making lots of memories with friends and family. Our sweet English Setter, Ava, just turned one and we couldn't possibly love her more! Jake manages a family campground during the summer and does home renovations during the off season. Megan has been working as a Pediatric nurse for nearly four years now. We love meeting new people and look forward to meeting you during your stay!
This property is a great, river front spot for people who enjoy the outdoors and scenic views but also want the luxuries of vacationing in a cozy home!
