Giles County hosts 52 miles of the Appalachian Trail - one of the world's most iconic hiking trails- and a trailhead is just 2 miles from the inn. Spend the weekend with a book and a pair of bird-watching binoculars, taking it all in, or get out amongst it try a float down the New River, fly fishing, a river photography workshop, watercolor painting, or mountain or road biking. Three suites have whirlpool tubs and four feature soaking tubs, the perfect spot for enjoying the inn's complimentary beverages. Seven guest suites also share in the stunning view. The Inn at Riverbend might just as easily be named the Inn Over the Riverbend, since that's how you feel, sitting high in the sky on the wraparound deck taking in the miles-long running of the New River. Your own personal mini-Milow.Views aren't hard to come by in southwest Virginia, but these views.well, they're something else. And whenever you wanted, you could take him out and he could sing to you. Then you could put him your pocket and carry him around all day. It's just a shame that Milow isn't smaller. In the age of skinny top models and cosmetic surgery, Milow's very human message in “You And Me“ comes as a breath of fresh air. What if people don't understand his sense of humour? But it seems they do. To begin a song with the words “I wish you smelled a little funny / Not just funny, really bad“ is very risky.

Milow, whose real name is Jonathan Vandenbroeck, is not only a multilingual musical talent, he also has a very funny sense of humour. For the same reason, Milow wishes “that you had feathers“ because then “I'd keep you in a giant cage / All day long I'd sit and watch you / I'd sing for you and that would be okay.“ He doesn't sing “she's so beautiful and I tell her every day.“ To the contrary, he sings: “I wish you were a little bigger / Not just big, but really fat.“ But why? Because then there would be “doors you would no longer fit through“ and he could be with the person he loves all the time.

Songs like “Just the Way You Are“ are hymns to perfection, telling girls and women how important it is to be pretty. We have all heard hundreds of songs in which the singer tells someone how beautiful they are. His latest song, “You And Me“, is another example of his intelligent approach to music.
