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.

Super Lovely porch view!

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.

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.

Beautiful

The property was beautiful, with a great view and nice quiet location. My family and I enjoyed our stay in the home. Amenities available were perfect and there was plenty of room four our little family of four. We did have an issue with the air conditioning on the Fritz; however the owner was very responsive and got it fixed, even provided us with window fans during the time that we were waiting for it to be repaired. The town of Fries is small, but plenty to do and sightseeing. There is even a small park across from the property with a cute activity center-great for kids. Thank you again to Mr and Mrs Hawks for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home and the accommodations.

Wonderful house and village with two great restaurants in town a short walk away along river. Bike trail head is right below house views were amazing as was porch w rockers and fully stocked house. Richard helped me w trail bikes in shed out back which was great. Allowed my wife and early teen children to ride 10 miles out and back on trail. We definitely want to return. Everything was very nicely decorated in house / very homey. A/c worked great. Loved coffee in the am and glass of wine in eve sharing time on porch on rockers with family overlooking river and hearing the sound of river water and water falling over 40 foot Fries dam nearby. Thanks for sharing your house bikes and dining tips Richard and Rachel - look forward to staying w you again in near future. :-)

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.

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!

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!
