This was our 3rd stay and we just cannot say enough good things about this lovely home and the town of Abingdon! The hosts are wonderful, very communicative and helpful. The home is perfect. This was our first stay during warm weather and we found ourselves sitting on the front porch with coffee to see the sunrise and with wine on the back deck at night for sunsets. We had the best weekend and made so many memories. Bonus- our 2 fur babies thoroughly enjoyed running in the expansive backyard!

I would love to just keep this gem to myself but sharing is caring after all. We had the best weekend snowed in at this cozy home in Abingdon. Every detail was attended to including treats and toys for the dogs and a welcome cookie cake in my son’s school colors. This was probably the best stocked home we have stayed in too. I was concerned about little things like coffee because we were expecting bad weather. However, we arrived to a lovely home well stocked with all the essentials and did not even need to venture out to the store. We have already booked a return trip! I cannot say enough good things about this property and the owners. I would give them a 10 star rating if that was possible!

You want to stay here.

The house was perfect. It’s clean, beautiful, and supplied with everything you need to hang out and relax, cook a full meal, and give your dogs plenty of exercise running around in the huge backyard. It’s walking distance to Main Street and close to restaurants, grocery, and everything rude you might need. We felt welcomed as soon as we arrived with the thoughtful gift baskets for both humans and dogs. Sandy and Dennis were very responsive and made the check-in/out process very easy.

Great house for Virginia Creeper bikers and dog lovers.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The location is excellent with downtown Abingdon and the Abingdon terminus of the Virginia Creeper trail each about 1 mile away. The house was very clean, decorated well, and has been recently renovated. The large kitchen and dining area provided space for family gatherings. The spacious, fenced-in backyard and doggie doors allowed our dogs to have some freedom on vacation. We recommend this house and would stay here again.

We had no dealings with the host. The home was very nice. The only problem we has was the guest in the basement bedrooms froze the first night. We had the fireplace on the first floor on which caused the air conditioner to turn on to reach the set point for the thermostat. We had no problems after we switched the thermostat from auto to manual.

The jewel of Abingdon

We were in town for Trail Days 2025 (Damascus.) Our party included three adults and our two Jack Russells. This house is so well appointed and so so very comfortable. We were all so very comfortable, including the dogs who had so much fun playing in the large-sized backyard. On all our trips, this was by far my favorite kitchen to cook a big meal in on one of the nights! We watched a movie on the projection screen upstairs one night. That was fun!!The back patio swing is like a swaying bed. We loved it! Thank you for your hospitality!

About the host

Hosted by Sandy Staneart

Host profile image
Originally from Arkansas, we live in Florida the majority of the year, spending 4-5 months here in beautiful Abingdon! We are huge dog lovers and currently have 3 dogs, Heidi, Daisy and Sam!

Why they chose this property

We love the proximity of being in downtown, close to everything a small town has to offer but also able to get quickly to additional retail and dining options. People are very friendly here and we also love our neighbors.

What makes this property unique

We bought this house because of the size of the yard in the downtown area and its potential. We've been renovating the home for the last 3 years and we love the transformation. It's an old home with some quirks but all the modern conveniences. There was a lot of head scratching and options to figure out how to best reconfigure the space, only the main level was living space when we bought it, but we've enjoyed the journey. It's a very comfortable space with a mix of new and old, family heirlooms, antiques and a splash (ok, a lot) of our personality! Adding the deck and expanding the outdoor space changed how we enjoy the yard, we have multiple spaces to enjoy the beautiful weather. We also know hosting dogs with a fully fenced yard is very rare. We welcome all dogs, any size and breed.
