About this property

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.

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.

Sweet, Cozy Home

We loved this home. It was a super cold weekend, but it was so warm when we walked in. Something about this place reminded me of being at my granny’s house and that made me feel extra safe. It’s close to a steakhouse, cafe and a bike trail. It was too cold to use the deck area, but it looked very nice - this is a well loved, clean home!

Girls Trip

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!

This was the one of the best VRBO that we have stayed at in the past 13 years! We walked to the property entrance across a beautifully landscaped yard (with solar generated very real looking torch lights that lit up the path later at night). We entered the beautifully decorated and fully modern house with vintage touches that I loved. We were greeted by peaceful playing music with an accompanied calming scene on the TV monitor! Just a first class welcome! The bathroom was modern and had everything you could ask for, including an excellent draining shower (which is not always the case, in other places we have stayed). A BIG Plus. The bed was perfectly comfortable and the sheets were extremely soft and comfortable and of a VERY good quality. The whole place was immaculately clean, down to the baseboards.We had quick access to the cycling trails where we saw lots of wildlife. We loved sitting out on the porch overlooking the New River. Richard and Rachel were the best hosts, always available for questions and inquiries. Although we had the pleasure of meeting Richard, who was so very nice, we missed meeting Rachel. So, we must thank her here for her very professional and welcoming atmosphere she created in this ever so charming house.Thank you, Richard and Rachel for allowing us to stay at this highly recommended VRBO!

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.

Perfect little home for our stay

My sister and I stayed here while in town for a family wedding. It was perfect for us and my sister wanted to make sure I left a 5-star review. We love the multiple outdoor sitting areas, especially the front porch overlooking the river. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen adorable, and the bathroom updated. It made our stay wonderful. We also appreciated having parking in the back, since some of the nearby homes only had streetside parking. It was slightly tricky to find, but after a few drive-bys (street side and alleyway), we found it. My sister and I 100% recommend staying here and will stay here again if we are ever in town.
