This house was exactly as advertised, great communication with Betty. Lots of honey touches, very comfortable. The house had just about everything you could possibly need. On our last day, the heat went out. A relative of Betty and Mike came over and tri d to trouble shoot the issues. When he could not fix it, and it was going to be quite chilly that night, Betty said she would refund the last night and we left a day early. We didn't expect the refund but was nice. They were very apologetic but it was no ines fault except the very Gusty winds. Had a great t. Definitely recommend and hope to revisit in the future.
We truly enjoyed the riverfront view! We have camped there multiple times but always wondered what riverfront vacationing would be like. The mill house was excellent. Clean, well appointed with cooking supplies, wifi, clean towels and bed linens. We met the family down the street who helps keep it clean and the exterior landscaped and they were very helpful. The town is very friendly and we enjoyed the Thursday night dance and music at the YMCA. This has been our second home and a place for me to write poetry about small town river life. Peace reigns here!
The view from the porch was fantastic... but living in the house was also great. It has a bunch of nice extra features that exceed what you expect based on the description/pictures. The kitchen/bath/laundry were also stocked with everything we could possibly need. Betty was very responsive to our questions and even accommodated a special request. Planning to go back as soon as we can arrange.
Quaint and cozy. Relaxing and beautiful views. Perfect for family get together.
Me and a couple buddies came to Fries for our annual fishing trip on the New River. We had a blast and the fishing below Fries dam was very good. The house couldn't have been located in a more convenient location. We walked to the Windy River Diner for lunch one day and dinner two nights because it was so close and everything was very good. The view from the house is amazing, as was hearing the river as soon as you walk out the door. It was very cozy and very well equipped. We will certainly be back in the future!
Wonderful spot and host had everything in order. Easy access to New River trail! Lovely accommodations and friendly community.
