Fries, Virginia
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.
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.
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.
Nice house, we enjoyed our stay and our river float
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.
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.
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 ‘beach’ 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.
Beautiful location in walking distance of trail, park and downtown area. Everyone we met was very friendly. Can't wait to go back.
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.
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!
Fantastic location and view. Tasteful decor. Comfortable in every way!
We enjoyed our stay. Home is beautifully decorated and has everything you need. The hostess was very gracious and helpful. Would highly recommend!
This was a delightful getaway. Every modern convenience is included with just the right touches of the era and history of the property and surrounding vicinity. The information included in the welcome book were spot on and saved us lots of time guessing about where to explore. Definitely among the cleanest and best maintained homes we have visited. We loved being so close to the New River Trail. We were here in the fall and the views were exceptional. Thank you so much.
Excellent property. However in the listing the house appear to be surrounded by woods but in fact is it has houses adjacent and immediately behind it. Its a great place and had a great stay there.
Always enjoy Fries! You can’t beat the river, and if you need anything, Galax is only a few minutes away! My wife appreciates the mill village, as this was how she grew up. Definitely will return!
Everything and everyone amazing!!! Awesome view and had very very good time. Very amazing house and furniture loved it.
This Beautifully appointed home overlooking the river had every amenity. It had very comfortable beds, was impeccably clean, and had a wonderful porch view at the start of the New River Bike trail.. It was difficult to leave.
We enjoyed our stay and every exceeded our expectations. We went canoeing on the river and I rode 70 miles on the NRT. Those activities were great, but sitting on the front porch talking and watching the river was the highlight of our trip.
Well furnished, clean, wonderful view, and loved listening to the river and watching the wildlife every evening. Friendly and accomodating host. Nothing to do with this rental- but do not eat at the local cafe, drive the 15 minutes to Galax
The Riverview and our hostesses Richard and Nancy were absultely amazing. Everything was perfect!
A totally beautiful mixture of antique and modern. Perfect location and view of New River . Beautiful landscapes and interior
