Weekend at the River
Loved the home and the view of the river. We only had to walk a few steps to sit at the firepit and fish. The home had everything we needed and was very clean. The beds were very comfortable to sleep on. Makes your time relaxing to enjoy the outdoors. We hope we will be able to come again.

Riverhouse
What a peaceful place to visit. Wonderful views of the river, which was mere steps from the house. Had everything we needed for a quiet getaway Thanksgiving. My husband, son and dog enjoyed exploring the river and nearby train tracks. An afternoon at VT was a short drive away. Will be back with our kayaks for warm summer fun. Thanks Frank!

Fun Times at River House
Quaint, clean, and has an exquisite view! Came down for VT Hoco and football and a visit to our daughter at VCOM! Beds were comfortable, owners were engaging and informative, and the trains gave it more character and were not disruptive. Sitting by the river with the fire was simply the best. We thoroughly enjoyed our short visit and would love to come back!

Wonderful River Cottage!
My husband and I came for VT's parent's weekend and we really enjoyed our stay. Frank was a welcoming host and the cottage is adorable and very comfortable. He communicated well and made sure we had everything we needed. The extra touches, like snacks, water and lovely decor made us feel very welcome. We really enjoyed sitting on the front porch to enjoy the view of New River each morning with our coffee and tea. It was a perfect, peaceful getaway and we are planning to come back soon!

About the host

Hosted by Frank & Marie Scammell

Host profile image
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.
