Beautiful and well appointed!

My daughter and I stayed here for our trip to ride the Creeper Trail. It is beautifully decorated, and very well appointed. It had everything we could have asked for to make our stay very enjoyable. There was such thoughtful touches, such as games to play, an umbrella and flashlight, and so much more. We would definitely stay here again!

Cute and Comfortable Home

Home was clean and had everything we needed and more. Really appreciated the small touches - charging ports at each bedside, snacks, wood and kindling for fire pit, even an umbrella! Conveniently located near Creeper Trail and Abingdon’s Barter Theatre. Truly a comfortable home away from home!

Nice Little House

The house location was good for us, as our trip revolved around riding on the VA Creeper Trail. The house has a cute interior, with 2 bedrooms. The house has been remodeled on the inside to make it feel very cozy. If I were in the area again, I would stay in the house.

Damascus cottage

The property was as pictured, for the most part surface clean. In the 2nd bathroom the towel racks were not affixed to the wall well and you could not hang a towel on them. We had a real problem with the kitchen sink not draining. 12+ hours after contacting the property manager, we did get a return call with a promise of a plumber to come by and look at the problem. He tried and was unable to fix the slow drain. He left with a promise he would return the next day with other equipment, sadly we did not see or hear from him. The property did not have a dishwasher so we had no recourse but to try to use the sink and wait for the water to slowly drain out; usually taking at least 2-3 hours. We loved the fire pit and the gas grill was a life saver. All in all would stay again ONLY if the drainage problem was fully rectified.

We needed to stay in the area over Christmas. The owners made it very special for us with lots of Christmas decorations in each room and a Christmas tree. Very beautifully and thoughtfully (variety of chargers in MANY locations) decorated. We had everything we needed and it was quiet and peaceful.

Comfortable and Cozy

This home was a perfect home base for our weekend in Damascus. Close to the Creeper Trail, restaurants, and shopping. Beautifully decorated. Stocked with everything you need (and more). You feel more like a house guest than a stranger passing by just renting a room. Big outdoor space for kids and/or pets to run. Quiet neighborhood. The bedrooms are on either side of the house, which gave each couple some privacy. Excellent communication. Thank you for the snacks & drawstring backpack!

This is a very cute little house and it suited our needs very well, however, it has areas where the flooring is un level . This may pose a problem for someone who isn’t very sturdy on their feet. Over all, the house was very clean, but all of the linens had that “sour laundry” smell. I spent the first day re washing the sheets, towels & bedspread. I do recommend staying there because it is centrally located to all kinds of fun. We would stay there again.

It was a very nice cottage for those in the master bedroom. The room for the queen bed is up against the wall making it difficult to get in or out. The bathroom shower is very small with a very high step and no grab bars. I almost feel twice getting out and I a petite person and not heavy.

Relaxing Stay

Cute cottage had everything in the kitchen you could need. The decor was well done and felt like home. The master bedroom is large with walk in closet and good size bath. The second room was great for one person and comfortable. Right around the corner from a great coffee shop for breakfast, close to the Creeper Trail and not far from Abingdon. Lots to do in the area and easy to find. We didn't use the fire pit but would have been nice.
