On 'The New River Trail'

This 1800 Sq. foot home is located in the historic mill town of Fries, VA. The beautiful New River flows by our small village on it's way up north. 'The New River Trail' follows the river from Fries to Pulaski for over fifty miles. It is a 'Rails to Trails' project for bikers, hikers and horses. There is very little incline or decent and you will find trestles, a tunnel, beautiful wild flowers, shoals and lots of cool shade in mostly secluded deep woodlands. The fishing is great along with canoeing, tubing and kayaking.

Blue Grass Music is plentiful with The Galax Fiddlers Convention and Fries Fiddlers Convention the second and third weeks in August.

The house is only 14 miles from the most visited National Park, 'The Blue Ridge Parkway' and the Blue Ridge Music Center.

For those of you with wonderlust there are lots of narrow dirt and paved roads with pastures, mountains, creeks and valleys to explore.

Great biking get away with old friends.
The house was in a nice location on a quiet street. Walking distance to a beautiful park along the river. Very close to the New River Trail (though temporary closures forced us to access the trail in other locations). Check the state park website for updates if you’re biking. As others have said, the upstairs bathroom was pretty tight, but the bedrooms and living areas were spacious. We enjoyed the porches and pretty backyard.

Inviting
Great place for our annual sibling retreat. All the rooms are very inviting. We especially enjoyed the front porch and dining room for gathering and playing card games. Kitchen is well equipped with plenty of dishes, glasses, cups, flatware and other cooking needs. We appreciated the parking space behind the house. The stairs to the upstairs bedrooms has a handrail on the lower section but not from the landing to the top. It’s the only thing we older folk wished for in this house. Communication with the owners was good. Richard stopped by shortly after we arrived to welcome us and make sure we had what we needed. Would recommend Nana’s Place to others.

Spring trip
Owner is accommodating with check in etc . Although I have stayed at two properties with them , he has come banging on the doors both times which is quite disturbing.. This property is not for anyone with disabilities or handicap due to the steep steps and tiny bathrooms.. there is a major safety hazard on the back deck as there is a step down and the deck flooring is all one color and in darkness or whatever you will not notice. The parking is behind the house with no gravel driveway or anything so it was sopping wet when we were trying to load. Kitchen was well equipped and bed downstairs was comfortable .

Great Place
This home was exactly as pictured! The neighborhood was quiet and close to the river. Our only problem, no cell service at best spotty. The owners provide a land line which made us more comfortable in case a family member would need us. We would definitely return to this home.
