River View Place / beautiful view

Riverview Place is an original mill house built in 1902...Most all of the houses in Fries were built at the same time...The history of this town is shared with visitors by locals with great pride in their stories about their lives while growing up in a town owned by and run by "The Mill"..Music was and is a huge part of who they are..
Once the railroad stopped coming the state of Virginia made a rails to trails park called The New River Trail State Park which begins in Fries and goes for a little over 50 miles to Pulaski. Along with bike riding there is great fishing, canoeing, tubing and hiking and you can join in with some ole time porch sitting.
Fries is located 6 miles from Galax where there is a Super Walmart, other groceries, shopping, and restaurants.

Riverview Getaway

My husband and I were looking for a long weekend of much needed R&R and this fit the bill perfectly! The cottage is adorable and the kitchen well equipped. Access to the New River Trail couldn't have been easier and the quiet evenings sitting on the porch watching the river was exactly what we were looking for! Fine dining options were a bit limited but decided to take full advantage of the ambience/view by eating in (although it appeared WalMart was the only "upscale" grocer choice.). Be advised there are steps (both front and back) to access. Use of the locked garage/shed to store or e-bikes was also very much appreciated. Have put this on our list for a possible visit again in the fall.

Another Great Stay

As was the case last year at their other VRBO home in Fries, VA the house was very clean, accommodations were exactly as described, and the owners are always responsive to emails and questions. I recommend this to anyone looking for a beautiful view of the river.

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 y’all so much!

Super Lovely porch view!

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.

Fun in Fries

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 weren’t riding the trail.

Quiet riverside retreat

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.

Lovely spot

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.

comfortable and scenic location

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!
