This house was the perfect location to the activities we had planned. The owner had everything you would need to make your getaway comfortable. They even had Holiday decorations! Beds were comfortable, Tv's in every room and living room furniture comfortable. Weather was not the best, so we will be back so we can take advantage of the nice outdoor seating!

Sweet stay

This is such a lovely little house. The setting is idyllic with a stream just across the street, and the house itself is so well cared for and thoughtfully furnished. I would love to come back with my husband for a weekend away.

Amazing stay—exactly as described!

Great little house. Gorgeous interior (I love the exposed beams!). We felt safe in the area, neighbor was super friendly & invited us by to see his turkeys! Definitely in the “middle of nowhere” in the best possible way! WiFi worked great, host communication was almost immediate. Stayed here for one night to drop our daughter off at college!

This was a charming house. It was well appointed and very comfortable. Fully stocked with dishware, silverware, pots and pans. Beds were extremely comfortable with luxury linens. I would recommend this house to 2 couples or 1 couple with children. A note- you cannot access the Virginia Creeper Trail on bikes from the house. This should be noted in the description.

Cozy House

The house is so cozy and homelike. From the creek across the road to the gas fireplace to the Christmas decorations, my son and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would 100% stay here again and for much longer than a single night.

Great little house

Home was exactly as described. Good for a couple or two couples without kids. The drive back would be a little tough after dark as it’s a few windy miles off of the main highway and about 10 minutes from downtown Damascus. Would book again if we were visiting Damascus.
