The River House of Parrott, a renovated 1935 Cottage situated right on the New River in Parrott, is ideally located near Radford University, Radford, VA, as well as Virginia Tech and Blacksburg, VA.
This home is an ideal retreat for guests exploring the New River Valley, those on temporary work assignments, or couples seeking a romantic and secluded getaway. It's also perfect for those attending Hokie or Highlander games. Explore the New River by wading or kayaking in search of smallmouth bass, bream, and muskies. Witness breathtaking sunsets over the New River and marvel at a night sky like you've never seen before.
Upon arriving at the cottage, you're welcomed by an inviting covered front porch, where you can enjoy mornings watching the fog rise across the New River while sipping your favorite beverage and observing abundant wildlife.
The well-appointed kitchen and living room area boast an open concept, creating a seamless flow. The main-floor bathroom has been recently updated with a hickory vanity and a walk-in shower with a handheld showerhead. A stackable washer/dryer is conveniently tucked away in the closet.
The main-floor bedroom offers a fantastic river view, plush memory foam bedding, and a smart TV for your enjoyment. The upstairs bedrooms feature an open-concept cape cod style, with one side offering a plush memory foam queen bed and the other side featuring a reading nook and pullout futon/single under.
The back deck, adorned with a comfy cushioned porch swing, is perfect for train watching or simply unwinding. A short walk across the road brings you to a seating area and firepit beside the river, and a long open lawn provides ample space for family games, horseshoes, soccer, or frisbee. It's an ideal spot for sunsets, stargazing, and night fishing.
All areas of the house are open for guest use, including the 700 feet of the river where guests can fish, wade, and explore the beauty of the New River.

About the host
Hosted by Frank & Marie Scammell
I am a Roanoke local, residing nearby, and The River House of Parrott is more than just a short-term rental for me; it's our dream retirement property. My deep appreciation for the outdoors, cultivated over the years, has solidified our connection to this extraordinary stretch of the river. Having discovered this part of the river nearly three decades ago, I've witnessed its evolution and found profound joy in the diverse wildlife it hosts.
The allure of the New River, with its tranquil flow and vibrant ecosystem, captivates us every day. The herons gracefully wading in the shallows, the geese in their seasonal formations, the playful otters navigating the waters, and the majestic eagles soaring above – these moments of wildlife observation have become an integral part of our daily lives.
As we embark on this dream retirement journey, we find solace in the beauty that surrounds The River House of Parrott. It's not just a place; it's a sanctuary where nature unfolds its wonders, and each day brings a new chapter in the story of this enchanting riverside haven.

Why they chose this property
Parrott has held a special place in my heart as my preferred spot for wading and fishing along the river. Tucked away in the countryside, it offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and accessibility. Within a mere 10 minutes, you can reach grocery stores and grab a quick bite from fast-food options. Extend your radius to 20 minutes, and you'll find yourself at the mall with an abundance of restaurants catering to every taste imaginable.
What makes this property unique
The River House is a truly secluded getaway, providing a retreat where tranquility reigns supreme, and there are no neighbors within earshot. Although the train behind the house may introduce occasional noise, it becomes a familiar part of the surroundings after a short adjustment period.
Nestled along 700 feet of riverfront, the property offers a unique blend of shaded and sunny spots, allowing you to tailor your experience to your preferences. Whether seeking a cool retreat under the trees or basking in the warmth of the sun, The River House provides a private and peaceful space to unwind.
