    Great place to stay and enjoy nature. Close to town to enjoy the activities there. The Virginia Creeper Trail is right in front of the house for easy access whether biking or hiking. Very clean and spacious with everything you’ll need for your stay.

    Our stay was wonderful. With the creek at the back of the house and the Va creeper trail at the front it could not have been any better. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the porch in the rocking chairs and watching/ hearing the creek and walking on the trail.The home had everything you could need and the owners were very friendly.

    This property was in a great location - we were in town for a race on the Creeper Trail. It was convenient to both Damascus and Abingdon. The location right on the trail is neat as well.

    good as always, the town had some storm damage due to Hurricane Helene and 1/2 the biking trail was closed, some of the restaurants and the deck on the river had been destroyed. They were building it back when we were there, but it was blocked off for workers. Normally a great fishing area but we didn't catch anything. The owner said since the hurricane that it had not been good for fishing. None of it was the fault of the owners.

    We enjoyed our stay in VA. This cute little house is directly on the VA Creeper Trail and the river is behind the house. Cute fire pit area and really sweet neighborhood cat that my boys got to love on. We had a great stay and would definitely return.

    The house is awesome with a nice covered front porch to watch the river as the sun rises with a cup of coffee. By far my favorite place to stay around Damascus.

    The house was very nice loved every aspect kids loved the swing and the creek only negative thing I could say about it was the mattress in the master bedroom was a bit firm for our liking but some people like it that way and it wouldn’t keep us from staying there in the future

    Arriving at midnight in pouring rain, the kids said it all...this place is perfect!Greeted by a sweet cat on the steps, we soon realized that we had found a gem. Clean, quaint house with a lot of character, plenty of space, and everything you need to cook/grill. Hosts were amazing and even made the whole college drop off process more comfortable by offering to help out in any way. We will definitely stay again when we are down to visit our daughter at college!
