I love the porch and best view of the river and everything around. Covered parking area and host is beyond responsive to any needs.Best house on the street but it’s so comfy.

    We visited my grandfather in Fries and stayed at The Otter — a beautifully updated home filled with thoughtful touches throughout. The detailed guide to the house and where everything was located made our stay especially easy and comfortable. It was perfect for our family, and we especially appreciated the toys for the kids, which made them feel right at home. The view is absolutely stunning, and the peaceful setting made for a truly relaxing getaway. The host was friendly and responsive, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’ll definitely be back!

    Very nicely renovated and roomy. Tight parking for a truck in the carport but we made it work. Nice to have covered parking area. Nicely appointed. A king bed would have been appreciated but kitchen was nicely stocked with everything we needed. Cute little bungalow. Although neighbor's house was in state of disrepair, we did meet him and his dog and he was very nice. Neighborhood under renovation with some houses in really bad shape but safe area even though it didn't appear that way. Would stay again. Loved the front porch.

    3year old twins, 16 year old granddaughter and myself couldn’t have been more comfortable in the setup of this gorgeous home. Loved being able to back up into the carport and just a few steps and your on the porch with the most amazing view of the Fries dam and the beautiful New River . And the rocking chairs are plentiful and comfortable. Step inside to the most equipped Vrbo I’ve experienced so far, with a basket with a few toys, books, tons of dvds , all kitchen appliances even some condiments and a lot of local information welcome you . Mini splits in every room so everyone was so comfortable. The bathroom is tiny but so cute and we managed! I will definitely book here again as needed. Thanks so much to Matt for being a super host.

    Enjoyed our stay in the cute home. Very well furnished with all necessary items and very well organized with instructions for everything in the home. We were there to visit family nearby and it was perfectly located between the towns we were visiting. When we weren't visiting, we loved sitting on the front porch and listening to the river. Matt was awesome at communicating with us. Thanks for the opportunity to stay here.
