About Lee & Ruth Stone

We have lived in the Fredericksburg area since 1995. We raised our 5 sons here and have only our youngest, a high school senior, left at home with us. Ruth graduated from the medical college of Virginia in Richmond and has worked as a home health nurse for 25 years. She now works for a local home health agency. Lee retired as an officer after 23 years with the U.S. Coast Guard. He has his masters degree and works as a systems engineer. We enjoy traveling, meeting people and learning about their lives.

Why Lee & Ruth Stone chose Fredericksburg

Our Riverhouse is a unique property on the Rappahannock River due to the proximity to the water, nature and to downtown Fredericksburg. When we purchased this home years ago we did so with the intention of sharing its beauty and an appreciation of the river with others.

What makes this apartment unique

Private balcony, beautiful space and easy access to the Rappahannock River.

Unbelievable Views Exceeded Our Expectations!

I am sitting on the balcony watching the river, wondering how to adequately describe the spectacular view. River House is amazing! It is quiet, peaceful and relaxing, yet close to so many historical attractions. Our stay here has been awesome and it is hard to pack to leave. Lee and Ruth have been marvelous hosts, very kind and thoughtful for our comfort. This place is a jewel! Provides all the comfort and convenience you could want in a picturesque setting. You have to see it to believe it!

Outstanding Stay!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 25, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We were in Fredericksburg for a friend's wedding and loved our stay at the Riverhouse! The apartment upstairs was great, full of natural light and great views of the river. The deck was a nice bonus and we enjoyed it in the morning, afternoon, and night. We were even able to take the canoe out for a paddle. Lee and Ruth were very helpful and kind. It was a quick drive to downtown and other area attractions. I would certainly go back and highly recommend it.

Our Stay was Awesome

5 of 5
Submitted: April 7, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
"We arrived as the sun was setting and the view was amazing! Our stay at the RiverHouse was the highlight of our vacation. Every morning to wake up and see the sun rise, nature come alive, so calming and peaceful. I truly enjoyed the fire every night, as in Florida, something we don't have back home. The apartment is very charming, the best of everything. We will be recommending this place to all our family & friends.

Owner's Response: Yes, the Rappahannock River is an amazing sight! There is so much life right in our backyard. I cannot tell you how fortunate we consider ourselves to be able to wake up this every morning. Thank you again for staying with us and we hope to see you again in the future.

You Don't Trust Your Eyes!

You Don't Trust Your Eyes!
Submitted: February 20, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
Imagine nice pictures of the RiverHouse, then deciding to stay there, then moving in late at night. . . and the next morning: YOU DON'T TRUST YOUR EYES!
Reality is by far beating the pictures and you're forgetting to shut your mouth again. Not to mention that the snow covered everything outside (how did Lee & Ruth manage this?). From a guest's view, it was their best idea to offer the RiverHouse's studio for holidays & vacation. We enjoyed nine wonderful days being inspired every morning by what we saw outside while having our breakfast.
Lee & Ruth were very fast in answering our inquiries. For example, we arranged a late arrival without any problems. They were very helpful, warm & kind. As a nice surprise, we were welcomed with some fruits & a tasty red wine (thanks so much!). The studio not only has this stunning view, it also has everything you need and a certain personal touch because of the nice pictures on the wall & other stuff leading to...well, feeling like at home. By the way, it's also very close to downtown (a must see!). We hope to be returning soon & thank you very much, Lee & Ruth, for the hospitality.

NYE Gem!

5 of 5
Submitted: January 4, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
I was honored enough to be the first guest here at the Riverhouse. I was unsure of what to expect but from a very friendly dog meeting me at the door, and meeting the owners, my mind was set at ease. Then I saw the third floor and was in awe. The view! The windows! The decor! All awesome!! It was everything I had hoped for: breathtaking view, quiet, tranquil, and private.

The owners were perfect hosts, extending a kind invitation to join them in pre-New Year's Eve celebration festivities with delicious food and beverage. Then respecting my wishes for privacy, they were hands-off unless I had questions, which they promptly answered. Initially, I did not want to tell anyone about this gem and just keep it to myself but I had to share. A relative is already interested in a possible future stay. There were many nice personal touches throughout the space; too many to list. My stay was absolutely amazing and I hope to stay here again someday.

Owner's Response: It was a pleasure to host Maggie during her visit. We are glad she was able to enjoy the tranquility of the Riverhouse. Although it is a great time of the year to throw a log on the fire and experience the stillness of the river, there is plenty of activity with the blue herons, eagles, cardinals, songbirds busy feeding and rising and falling of the river tide.

We hope you can come share in life at the Riverhouse. You will smile as you see the sky filled with pink and purple hues as the sun sets over the lovely Rappahannock.
