This property does have well water, therefore, it can have a sulfur smell when the water is on. We provide bottled water for cooking and drinking. The house is exterminated on a regular basis, however being in the setting it is in, you will see bugs, bees, and spiders sometimes.
We enjoyed floating on the river, exploring Hidden Valley, hiking, and taking in Abington.
Megan the host communicated daily. The place was amazingly taken care off. The girls of our staff enjoyed the river and boats provided. The deck over looking the river was a great place for our staff to unwind after a long day at the Speedway. We would surely book this property again.
The house is a nice home and the location is great.
This property was perfect for our family get a way. Creek was perfect for fishing and canoeing. (It was a little chilly during our stay but made the most of it.) The teenage kids had all upstairs and adults stayed downstairs. Lots of fun, shopping, outdoor fun and laughs were had.
Perfect place to get away and enjoy the mountains / river.
Four adults, two cats, and one dog all stayed here for about two weeks in the winter. Overall, we were quite pleased with the stay, but there were a few drawbacks. Only two rooms of the six are private, the other four require passing through someone’s room or being in an open loft area without any sound privacy. The listing wasn’t super clear about the close quarters of the space, but it thankfully wasn’t much of an issue for our group of four. The well water was stinky, but we were prepared for that (clearly states in the listing). The host provided us a couple gallons of water to start with, but we ended up purchasing a lot more. The larger beds were comfy enough, but the twin beds (5 beds total) were very uncomfortable and sagged in the middle. Probably okay for kids, but wouldn’t recommend trying to put teenagers or adults on them for any length of time. The driveway was a little steep but overall manageable. It was a bit dangerous when it iced over, but we purchased salt and had no further issues. The kitchen is pretty well stocked with cooking supplies, but I would recommend bringing a knife sharpener and your own mixing bowls (if needed). The view of the river is beautiful and the deck is very nice. We didn’t interact much with the neighbors and they weren’t super close-by, but just a few houses down is a confederate flag and lots of signs for #45. As a multiracial group of people, we weren’t super comfortable taking walks along the road/river. Just something to be aware of, not the host’s fault. It’s only about 15 minutes to Abingdon proper which had a nice bakery (Anthony’s) and a cool coffee shop (Girl and Raven — try their sorghum cookies and cinnamon rolls!). There are a few big grocery stories in town offering curbside pickup and the Virginia Creeper Trail is a must-see! Our dog loved running around the hill behind the house, and there are so many beautiful hikes and parks within 90 minutes of the house. We loved Grayson Highlands, Devil’s Bathtub, Cherokee Nat’l Forest, and Whitetop Mountain.
Excellent location in quiet country side close to all facilities in the tri state area. We were only two people but the house is suitable for much larger parcels.
This is a great location to get away. The house sits on a hillside overlooking the river and the street but still feels like a very private getaway. Was nice seeing the river with the mountains in the background every morning. Definitely would like to rent this house again. Megan was a great host.
Had lovely time. Enjoyed natural beauty. Made use of the kayaks.
We enjoyed having such a comfortable place to come home to after long days of fishing. Lots of great places to canoe and fish close by.
