Guestbook comments from the manager
This house is a home. You can feel it as you enter the porch in anticipation of a very special time. When the door is opened, one can feel love emanating from the walls and spreading through the rooms as we explore each nook and corner. Echos of eager voices and shared laughter are here. Music is in the background. Merry friends and families have lived, though briefly, in this house that is a home.
And now, we too will add the essence of our own experiences, sharing old memories and making new ones. Reunited families under one roof love and laugh and shed a few tears in this unforgettable time. How quickly we settled in as though time was forever. And now, we too, must leave, separating us physically but united spiritually in endless love.

Wonderful Thanksgiving Gathering!
We joined our kids and grandkids for a Thanksgiving/Christmas celebration at New River Lodge. Everyone greatly enjoyed this home and our stay! The layout and anemities enabled all to be comfortable with room to roam. Coffee on the porch over looking the river was a favorite. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked, beds were comfortable, and everything was clean. We want to come back and intertube down the river in the summer! Took the nearby New River Trail (rails to trails) for a hike with the kids and it was a hit. Next day, rented some bikes in Fries and biked another section of the trail into the town of Fries. Perfect! All in all, New River Lodge and hosts, Amy and Susie were just great! We hope to be back!
Enjoyed the beautiful riverside home for second time!
Great place to host large family gatherings. Two items of note: we lost electricity last night for two+ hours and water/plumbing stopped working. Also, it would be great to have a working wifi available.
Thank you for sharing this gorgeous home! We will be back!!
Perfect for multi-family gatherings. Spacious home with gorgeous views!
We were in town for my son's wedding, and had family and friends coming in to celebrate with us. This house offered everything we needed and more! The bedrooms are perfect for families-the extra space and day beds allowed each of us to have our own family space without crowding the main areas of the home. The kitchen was huge and perfect for cooking for a crowd! The porches with beautiful views were so lovely! We all enjoyed our stay so much, and this beautiful home made it so comfortable! We will definitely book again in the future! Just perfect!
Nice large house with room for large groups, with beautiful view of the New River.
Beautiful location with lots of room along with being well provisioned. There were nine of us staying at the house while we were riding the New River Trail and Virginia Creeper Trail. Everyone really enjoyed our stay there. My only suggestion is that the exterior of the house be spruced up.
Awesome vacation getaway
This place is amazing. Excedllent for large family or groups.Second time we have stayed here sand it was just as grat as first time.
Everything you need is provided. Loved the lock box. Great location for our daily tubing adventure and not far to where we went for kayaking. My 85 year old Dad had a ball and I had trouble keeping up with him. Thanks for an awesome and unforgettable family vacation.
Spacious & relaxing
The lodge is spacious, the kitchen is well stocked, the linens not plush but clean and nice to the touch. It's truly not cramped as there are a lot of sitting areas and open space for moving around inside. The view from the porch is very pretty and calming. It's a bit of a steep walk down to & up from the river, especially for "older" folk. Getting into the river is also steep and we had concerns about the safety of it due to the metal on the ground posts. Once identified it was just a matter of being careful. Again, an older person would probably have a problem. The land area beside the river is large enough for several activities at once. The only semi-negatives are that the grass by the river needs to be bagged after cutting especially right before someone rents and the outside of the lodge could use a thorough power washing. I would absolutely rent here again!
