My dogs and I really enjoyed our stay. We especially loved the huge yard and hanging out on the balcony off the main bedroom. It felt like we were in a tree house. We did not use the upper or lower levels but found the main level very comfortable and fully equipped with everything we needed. I also enjoyed the whimsical art and decor and the proximity to the Creeper trail and to downtown Damascus. While it is within walking or biking distance, the road is fairly steep so I didn’t attempt it. I would definitely stay here again. ##### Susan I. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Lynne H. 3 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relaxing weekend We had a very relaxing weekend stay in this cottage. The inside was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. My only observation of concern were the steps leading to the downstairs area. We were perfectly fine, but I would not take small children there, nor did we allow our small dog on the stairs. But doggie gates were provided, so we kept the area blocked off. The downstairs was very nice! The loft area was great, though we had no need to use it. I would recommend a stay at Whimsy in the Wood. It was in the wood on a very quiet street. ##### Lynne H. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heidi B. 15 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location. There were four of us total and a small dog. There was plenty of room for all of us. Great location and well kept. A little nervous about the front walkway as it is loose. Tried to turn on the gas fireplace downstairs downstairs but it never came on. Maybe not the season but wanted the ambience. We wanted to sit outside and possibly grill out but those areas needed attention and we did not feel like cleaning them to use. Plenty of space for everyone and the super cute house with a really great yard. ##### Heidi B.
