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.

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.

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!

Lovely house overlooking the river
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.

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.

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.

We hope to return for another stay!
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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
