Great house

The house was well stocked and really well maintained. It is in an excellent location-right on Main Street Damascus. We rode the Virginia Creepeer trail and booked a ride to the top of the mountain at the Shuttle Shack. The Shuttle Shack is right next door to the house!! We would definitely book the house again!

Weekend Stay

Nice house and very good location; the only issue - ants on the kitchen counter. The host promptly delivered ant bait; however, there were still lots of ants when I left this morning.

Three stars

Size of home was small yet okay for us. In regards to location, We enjoyed being able to walk to businesses we needed and to walk about town. We would have preferred more attention to details with the cleaning of this property.

Convenient location in Damascus

We enjoyed our stay here in Damascus. Nice little house in a great location. On the main road so a little noisy during the day but not bad at night. There were some ants in the kitchen but we dealt with them as we saw them and I let the property manager know so they could deal with them before the next guests arrive. Overall would definitely recommend this place.

Excellent customer service

My stay started off with me requesting an early check-in, which Anya promptly granted. When we arrived and I couldn't find a way to light the gas grill, one text message to Anya resulted in a lighter stick being delivered within the hour, and I knew we were in for a good stay!

We LOVED this little house! Damascus is such a FUN place for us - we love to hike and don't like the busy cities. The house is located ON the Apalachian Trail. Damascus is one of three cities that the trail actually goes THRU the town. We just loved the front porch and the back porch. The kitchen in the house was lovely though we walked into town for most meals. Great location. Highly recommend.

Great Location

Pros: Great Location as it is within walking or biking distance to all the bike rental places and Damascus Diner. It's just steps from Shuttle Shack (highly recommend). Loved having the front porch, great for people watching. Loved having covered parking. Cons: If you are a light sleeper, the street noise may bother you. If you're a heavy sleeper, you'll have no problems.

Clean and convenient

The property was just as described in listing, and as reviewed by others. It was clean, comfortable, and spacious. The property managers responded very quickly to our request for a sponge and hose. The house is on the main street (as are almost all of the vacation rentals in town), and after reading reviews, I packed my Loop ear plugs because I’m a light sleeper. I had no trouble sleeping; slept very soundly in fact!

A great stay for Trail Days.

I had never been to Trail Days and wanted to experience it in some comfort. (Life on trail is rough enough.) The cottage was a great place to experience Trail Days. It was clean and roomy enough for me and my two hiking partners. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The living room was comfortable as was my bedroom. Though we didn't use it, there's a TV in the living room. There is only one bathroom but that really wasn't a problem at all.The cottage is well located; across the street from the Dairy King and about a half-mile from the town park, where the majority of Trail Day activities took place. Visiting a buddy in Tent City was another half-mile - but walking is what you expect to do during Trail Days! Walking from the cottage to the park takes you past the Damascus Distillery and Brewery, the Damascus Diner, and the ATC Visitor Center plus the rest of downtown Damascus.I don't know if this will be my only time attending Trail Days. If that's the case, I had a great time at the "House on the bend." If I am able to come back in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Great home base for exploring area

We had a great stay. Clean and comfortable. The road is a bit busy during the day but we had no issues sleeping at night. Also some good people watching from the front porch. Would recommend the homemade biscuit sandwiches from the gas station across the street.

Cozy & Comfortable

My husband and I enjoyed a nice little break in Damascus. This little cottage is cozy & clean. Just a short little bike ride and your on the Virginia Creeper Trail. Also, nice being within walking distance of several eating places and bike rentals in town. The road out front is busy, but manageable. Will visit again!

Great little place in a super convenient location

So this property is right off the main road so if you’re used to 100% quiet it probably isn’t for you, but we didn’t have an issue at all. We booked bike rentals at the shuttle shack (100% recommend them as well) and it was only two buildings away from the house so we were able to walk. The house had literally everything we could have needed including a sound machine and linens/ dishes/ paper towels. My kids went through all the games and LOVED the yard!! We will definitely stay here again next time we come! :)
