Great place to stay

A co-worker and I stayed here while attending a conference in Abingdon. It was comfortable and the side deck with the hot tub is AMAZING! It is well stocked even though we did not cook it had everything you could ever need. Emails were responded to quickly and I would stay here again.

Central location to adventure

Great cabin for central location to biking (VA Creeper Trail), hiking, restaraunts and more. The hot tub was an excellent way to help us regroup after some of the adventure. Pretty little cottage! Enjoyed it immensely!

Our Second Time. Just as good as the first!

We loved our stay here! This is the second time we have stayed at this house, and we can’t wait to come back again. We’d love the area, and the house is easily located to get around to all of the local cities. The host is very responsive, and we love what they’ve done to the hot tub and pergola area. We can’t wait to come back!

Willow Tree Retreat❤️

What a Great week in Damascus, VA! The area is fantastic but our accommodations at the Willow Tree Retreat is what really made our trip special! We have been staying in VRBOs for almost 15 years and this little cabin is by far the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in! Had all the amenities needed to be very comfortable and our host Vicki was super accommodating and responsive to where it didn’t feel like we were in a rental but staying in a friend’s/family home! Would highly suggest this cabin if vacationing in the area!

Beyond expectations

This property is absolutely beautiful, when we arrived we were stunned the pictures do this property no justice! We absolutely loved the big living room and most comfortable couch. The new addition porch is so relaxing enjoyed spending time out there. Would definitely recommend and would stay again!

Another great stay!

I would say the third times a charm, but with this property, that’s not necessary because the first two times were perfect stays already. Another perfect trip here, this time we brought our youngest daughter and she loved it too, especially the card game uno! Thanks for having that available for us to play!

Peaceful and relaxing cottage

We loved our stay at the Cottage at Willow Tree Retreat. Vicky and Christina were excellent hosts, excellent at communicating and provided everything we needed. The location of the property is perfect and close to the town center of Damascus. We enjoyed the firepit and all amenities on the property, you can even hear the river flow outside from the porch. We were very relaxed during our stay, we even met the very nice neighbors also. We cant wait to come back!

Great Fall Getaway

My husband and I always enjoy biking the Creeper Trail. This house was within a mile of the trail. The location was perfect, spacious and clean house, decorated beautifully, very quiet relaxing neighborhood, comfortable bed. Also may I add very nice hosts. We will plan to return again very soon.

Absolutely perfect!

The cottage was beautiful, clean, and had every thing we needed. We especially appreciated the beautiful scenery and peaceful, quiet neighborhood. The hot tub was also perfect once it cooled down in the evenings. It was only an 8 min drive to rent bicycles to ride the Creeper Trail from this location and if we would’ve brought our own, we could’ve started from the cottage. This is the ONLY place to stay if you need to be in the area!

Great stay!

We had a great stay at this cute cabin! It’s laid out well with plenty of space. The beds were comfy and we liked the privacy and quietness of the location. It’s a quick, 5 minute drive to downtown Damascus where there are shops and great restaurants. We really liked Mojo’s and Wicked Chicken. We biked the Virginia Creeper Trail and had so much fun! We had hoped to hike part of the Appalachian Trail, which is right in town but the rain set in on our last day.

Another great stay!

This was our second time here, we’ll be back. I love the smell when we walked in. The tv was nice, we watched supermarket sweep and strongman shows for more hours than we’ve watched tv shows in the past two years! The only complaint that I have is that the magnetic shower head was so nice that my wife is now making me buy one for our shower. Obviously joking, that’s not a complaint, we 100% love this place!

Beautiful, quiet, private, INCREDIBLE!

Modern and exceptionally clean, this little cabin is a perfect getaway. Private, surrounded by nature, it was exactly what I needed for a few days of perfect rest. Less than a mile from the Virginia Creeper trail, paved all the way there, it's a great base for local bike riding. Vickie was a great host, going above and beyond everything I needed. I almost hate to give it a great review, because I am coming back and hope it will be available. :-) Best to any who visit, it will be a relaxing pleasure.

Mini Getaway Under the Stars

This place was the perfect getaway for my husband and me to celebrate his 30th birthday. It was clean, smelled clean, everything was functioning as it should, we felt safe and secure, host communication was quick and kind. We have no complaints other than it’s a little difficult to decipher which is the correct driveway in the dark, but that is definitely not a dealbreaker by any means! The hot tub on the porch under the stars was definitely the cherry on top. Could not have asked for anything better at that price range. Highly recommend!

Cozy and comfortable

This was everything we were looking for! The cottage was open and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was stocked with all the items we needed, the furniture and bed were so comfortable. We found the peace and quiet we were seeking here; we couldnt have asked for more! Our host was gracious and very responsive to my questions before, during and after our trip. We will definitely be booking this again! We were not ready to leave, but back to reality was in the cards for us! Thank you for a wonderful, stress relieving and restful experience!
