Positive: The Washington Inn is an historic property, built in 1902. It is located in the rural community of Fries, VA, deep in the mid-Appalachians. We used it as a jumping off place to bicycle the southern portion of the New River Trail. Richard, the manager of the Inn, takes a lot of pride in keeping up the property and was very accommodating. The Inn sits right on the river, behind a flood wall, with views of the dam that was constructed to provide power to this mill town. It serves as a community center of sorts. When we returned from our bike ride, a woman was giving banjo lessons in the sitting area. The Inn was pleasant and very clean. The rooms are small, and not always level, but as Richard said, "She's sturdy enough." The bathrooms are newly remodeled. Entry is gained through digital locks. The Inn does not serve food, although it has a kitchen where you can cook for yourself. You do get 25% off breakfast at the New River Side Store and Deli, which is about 2 miles out of town. The breakfast is a deal without the discount. A full plate of biscuits, gravy, two eggs and meat is only $7.75. The coffee was also very good. All in all, a very pleasant experience that I recommend.
Negative: It would be nice to have a larger bed . . . .
Summary: Nice place to stay

Positive: Everything you would want with a great view and location. Clean, updated, hugely spacious with a large stocked kitchens & game room. It's no fuss without employees onsite. Visit Foster Falls but stay here for a better lodging and restaurant experience. Walk to a restaurant, river walk and bike rail trail.
Negative: Locked doors but it's better to have them than onsite employees. The combo locks are much nicer than keys.
Summary: Everything you would want with a great view.

Positive: Locate. Right on the New River and associated bike path. Several large refrigerators in common area. Easy walk to river and a couple of restaurants.
Negative: Building was very old(1904???). Floors were slanted and rooms were small. Noisy too and one of the guests had a dog! (Didn’t think that was allowed.)
Summary: Nothing fancy, but a good value!
