We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Willow Tree Retreat & Cabin. We rented both properties for our Thanksgiving family get-together and couldn't have been happier with the experience. Vickie & Michael are wonderful hosts- extremely responsive, attentive to detail, and had the cabins decorated so thoughtfully for the holiday season. I would highly recommend the Willow Tree properties to anyone looking for a relaxing retreat in beautiful SW Virginia.
This cabin was immaculately clean, extremely well stocked, and very comfortable. We had plenty of room for our two couples and one dog. Our dog loved the huge fenced in yard and 3/4 wrap around porch. We relaxed and rode the Creeper Trail. Great location and a GREAT place!
This was our second visit to Willow Tree and it was just as beautiful and comfortable as the first visit! Gorgeous location, responsive and kind host, super clean and well-appointed property. Thanks for another great vacation!
The property was great for my family. It was secluded and very private. The location worked perfect for us.
We would definitely recommend this property to anyone planning a trip to that area.
Willow Tree is our favorite cabin! Beautiful property in a gorgeous valley. Everything you need , and very dog friendly with a big fenced backyard! The befd are comfy. Everything is just right!
If you’re searching for a rental in Damascus, this is the one. The setting is beautiful and quite. It has everything you need in the kitchen and lots of extra touches. The host is so nice and responds quickly to messages.
Rock star host, great location, easy to find, easy to get there. This is by far, the best equipped rental we have ever had. Extremely comfortable. The attention to the details, all the little extras and the amenities exceeds expectations. Would stay again in a heartbeat!
We love this cabin! It's our favorite (and we've rented quite a few). Great setup for family meals, and wonderfully dog-friendly with fenced yard and gated porch! The cabin is beautifully decorated, and has everything, including (and this is key) comfy mattresses and a VERY responsive owner. Close to great hiking. Wonderful experience all around.
This was our first time staying in Damascus after years of passing through. This cabin is absolutely amazing. Stocked with all the basics and more! We enjoyed spending time on the porch and eating dinner under the willow tree. We did not want to leave!! We will definitely stay here again.
What a lovely mountain cabin to stay in…perfect for our Sunday School couples who wanted a peaceful, relaxing few days in the mountains. Exceeded our expectations…everything you need provided and more! The coffee bar was a hit as well as the fire pit on the back porch…beds were so comfortable, kitchen well-stocked. We would come better prepared next time to take advantage of the Blackstone Griddle, although we did enjoy the short drive to Abingdon for a good meal out. Also, glad we were so close for our bike excursion. We couldn’t have asked for a better place than Willow Tree. Great home and great host!
This was our 1st trip to Damascas. Very relaxing and friendly people. House was amazing. Comfy beds, lots of space and loved the coffee bar. Dogs loved the back yard. Best part was the porch...swinging jn the swing chairs or sitting on the couch swing taking in the beautiful views.Vickie was a great host. Already thinking about returning and renting the 2nd house as well for an extended family getaway. Joy
We had on our bucket list to hike up to the top of Mt Rogers. This cabin was a perfect spot to glamp out and get to our trailhead before the crowds. Very nice amenities and plenty of spots to chill out on the deck. Bring food and you never have to go out. Coffee bar was really well done. Had hot chocolate too - very nice touch. Gas grill was large and easy to operate. Internet was good enough to check back home on our pups and loved ones. My wife said I picked a great spot and she’d stay here again. A+.
This property is delight from floor to ceiling, starting with a wraparound porch straight out of a Hallmark movie. Upon arriving my husband declared. “we must be doing life wrong, because these owners got it right.” The home is impeccably clean and Pinterest perfect in every room. The owners went above and beyond in the decor and spared no expense, equipping the home with gourmet pots and pans, luxurious mattresses and more. The home is also spacious.
This cabin was perfect for our family of six! We had plenty of room, the wrap around porch was so adorable and had more than enough seating options. The cabin was decorated so cute for Christmas, and we had such a fun time. Thank you so much!
Well built beautiful log home. Very spacious and porch arrangements set up for enjoying the lovely views no matter time of day. Great fenced back yard for dogs. Kitchen is well appointed. Highly recommended.
The wrap around porch was my favorite. It was very relaxing and quiet. Except for the rooster next door. LoL . Plan on going again in August. It's close to VA creeper Damascus and Abingdon. Very nice!
This property definitely doesn't disappoint! So many wonderful touches from the comfy bed linens and mattress to the classy glasses and tableware in the kitchen, well-stocked coffee station and huge fenced yard for any four-legged companions! The wrap-around porch is the icing on the cake: amazing furniture and fire pit all adorned by hanging lights that create an atmosphere of warmth and whimsy. A tree in the front of the house (with table positioned underneath) is expertly staged with lights and is pure magic. A beautiful (and stylish) oasis to escape your life for a while. Property is close to the Creeper Trail and downtown Damascus. The blueberry muffins and coffee at Main Street Coffee & Cream are worth the short drive! Would definitely rent again. Owners were responsive and easy to communicate with.
We had a wonderful stay. Quiet, relaxing, perfect for our needs!
