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.

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.

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!

Rained out football game
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
