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.

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!

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.

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!

Great getaway home!

This house was perfect for our needs. Walking distance to the Damascus Diner and the Distillery. The house was so nice and cozy. The owners have done a great job with the decor. Everything we needed was supplied. Well done! Will definitely go back.

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.

Cozy and convenient cottage in Damascus

Despite the rainy weather my husband and I enjoyed our time at this cute cottage in Damascus. It is as it appears in photos, is in a quiet area and has a very comfortable couch and king sized bed in the primary bedroom. We sat outside at the fire pit our first night there using the fire wood behind the shed. We did have to search for a fire starter but found it in a back room. We appreciated the bottle of wine and basket of snacks left for us next to the coffee. :). The kitchen worked great for preparing the meals we brought with us. (Though some of the spices are expired, the salt, pepper, and sugar were all we needed.) We had a glitch with the wi-fi cutting in and out, but quick communication with Anya and the owner assured us that a re set of the router would bring it back, which it did. The owner also mentioned that they were getting a new internet provider at the end of October, so it shouldn’t be a problem for future users. Damascus is a lovely little town and has a lot to offer recreation wise. Abingdon, about 20 minutes away, also has plenty to do. We were rained out on our hiking and climbing plans and spent a day in both towns. We look forward to returning in the Spring and taking advantage of all the outdoor opportunities.

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.
