What a lovely place! The location felt very private, and we brought our beagle so she loved every second of the fenced in yard and front porch. Coffee with her in the morning was perfect. We were here to bring our daughter for her 2nd year at Radford so of course, we loved the flag! Go Highlanders! I cooked dinner both nights and had everything g I needed each night. And our daughters (our 11 yo came too!) loved the sleep arrangements on your 2nd floor! My husband caught about a dozen small mouth bass, while my 11to and I waded and swam in the water. It was perfect and so fun with the current. We brought a drake and tether for the dog so she could enjoy the water safely but instead she spent most of the day napping in the shade in the grass! Ample towels, all the extras and comfy beds made our stay just perfect. Thank you for allowing us such a lovely visit in your home! The Ellises
This was a family trip to visit family nearby. We stayed 2 nights, it was so relaxing. Sitting on the porch enjoying the river was our favorite part. The home was very clean and the hosts made everything so simple for check in and check out. I would stay here again when going to the area. Very easily slept 5, back yard was fully fenced for the kids, on a quiet country road.
The house was immaculate and everything we needed and that was advertised. Proximity to the river is great. It is not too far from VA Tech and there is a WalMart, etc. minutes away for groceries, etc. The hosts were highly responsive and very helpful.
We enjoyed the house and really appreciated the responsiveness of the host. While the location is between a small road and train tracks, it wasnât overly distracting or loud. The access to the water was unobstructed and relaxing. The master bed was probably the most comfortable that Iâve ever slept in away from home, with quality bedding and mattress. The property was also great for our dog, with a contained back yard and front porch. Definitely recommend!
We really enjoyed our stay at the River House of Parrott. The view was beautiful and I feel confident that someone better than I at fishing would have great luck where it's located on the river. The train comes by pretty frequently during the day but infrequently at night. It took a night to get used to, but the provided white noise machines in the bedroom made a huge difference. There was more road traffic than we expected, but we were also there over a weekend. Overall, we had a really great, relaxing time and would happily stay again.
Description of the place was accurate including location details, surroundings and trains. River is about 20 yards from the house, serene ambiance, quiet relaxing sound. Train watching was enjoyable experience and, on positive side, the trains didn't run at night (or so I think). To make it clear, watching trains wasn't a distant watching, trains run about 10-15 yards from the house. However, it didn't bother us at all to our surprise. Other things we liked is meticulously fenced backyard, that would keep pet rats (if someone has them) inside the perimeter. The house is very clean, all linens were proper, all kitchen utensils where very adequate. All appliances were functional and in great shape. Minor points include lack of exhaust fan in the single bathroom and no ores were found for the advertised kayaks. Other than that - great place. We visited our daughter at VT and would rent this place in the future.
Comfy and cozy home overlooking new river just a half hour from VA Tech. The place was clean and everything was labeled for easy use. While you can hear the trains on the track go by, I found it relaxing like white noise. We came here for a football game, but I would stay here again during warm weather to enjoy the river. The host was very responsive
Lovely peaceful spot along the New River. Had two dogs with us so took advantage of gate on the porch and fenced backyard. Porch was a great spot for watching herons, deer, ospreys, and eagles. Convenient to hiking, Radford, and Va Tech (and for morning coffee). Owners were very responsive to any Qs we had.
The property was just as listed. It was a nice place on the river. We did a little fishing. Ww watched others navigate the river fishing. We enjoyed watching the wildlife. Deer, geese and heron which I wasnt expecting to see. We used the grill on the porch to make a fantastic meal and went into Christiansburg for another. It was great to get away. Beds were comfortable and the house had everything that we needed. The train didn't bother us at all, it was pretty cool to see every day. Loved spending time with friends. It was a great place to do it. We are always looking for different places to stay but will definitely consider staying here again.
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!
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!
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!
We absolutely had the best time at The River House. The Property Managers were incredible. The house was perfect! We will definitely be back. Our family fished and had a bon fire. It was so nice I didn't want our visit to end.
Thank you for a great experience Frank & Marie!!
Great route to and from football stadium for weekend stay. Unfortunately the 5 and a half hours delay in the game and 5 inches of rain resulted in a very soaked departed from the stadium and only one night stay. The process to leave message for property owner may be easy on computer but by phone was not intuitive. Thanks enjoy that bottle of wine I forgot in the kitchen
