bike trip

it was a nice cozy cabin, location was great right off the trail. The area was quiet and I appreciated the room darkening shades... maybe there could be something to cover the glass in the front door where the light shines in in the summer around 545 that would be great! Thank you again for the use of your cabin we enjoyed our time there

Charming 3-night stay

Perfect glamping experience. My only complaint is that the windows should have been cleaned and had functioning screens so we could open them. The floors in the laundry area needed sweeping too. But overall it was a charming little place. I’d rent it again.

Perfect

This property was perfect for our stay. The location was within riding distance to everything. Also, off the main roads enough to be private. Neighbors right beside you but never heard them. Cost was worth it. Was just adorable inside and completely furnished with everything you could need. Could not have asked for a better place for the two of us to enjoy a little getaway.

Quick getaway from Nashville

Check in was easy. Place was clean and had everything we needed. We parked our car on Wednesday afternoon and didn't have to drive anywhere. Multiple restaurants and a coffee shop within walking distance. Bike rental for Virginia creeper and the trail itself was less than one tenth of a mile.away. Location was quiet but situated amongst multiple houses. Limited outside privacy if that's what you're looking for bring your own bag chair if you want to enjoy the deck we took full advantage with ours.

Great getaway!

Loved the little cottage- it had everything we needed. It was literally steps away from the Creeper trail. Damascus is adorable and everything was within walking distance. Very cute use of space.. Bed was super comfortable. The walls in the bathroom were a little weird.. Seemed unfinished compared to the rest of the cottage. Wish they had a few comfortable folding chairs to take out onto the deck... There's a picnic table but it looks pretty rickety and rough. We had a great time and would gladly stay again!

Cute place to stay for creeper trail

Excellent stay. There is plenty of room for two with good kitchen. Memory foam bed is comfortable. it is not super spacious, but it is very well equipped with plenty of room for two for a short stay. The location is great!! The midway point of the creeper trail is at the end of the street. This is an awesome place to start going either up to white top or up to Abington. We came in on Thursday evening and rode to white top Friday morning. After taking the easy coast back down to Damascus, we had a nice lunch at “home” and then headed to Abington. It’s a gentle ride down at first paralleling the creek gently before the incline up to Abington. That way, we could have an easy ride back down from Abington in the afternoon. Highly recommend it! Spent our second night at “home” and then did Mt Rogers hike (about 50 min drive to trail head). Great two day getaway and the house was perfect.
