Perched on the banks of the New River in the historic town of Thurmond, Riverside Cottage offers a simple, river-facing lodging with a large deck, one bedroom (queen bed) and easy access to the town’s railroad-and-river streets. Thurmond’s past as a rambunctious gateway to the gorge gives way today to a quiet community undergoing restoration as part of the New River National Recreation Area.
