It was fantastic! The house is really really great. We make this trip every year. It’s 11 years or more now. This house is in the perfect location for getting on the Creeper trail. We bike to Abington and back. The owner is very accommodating. I highly recommend.

The Rivers Edge-Damascus

We loved our stay at The Rivers Edge. We stayed here many years ago, and again recently. New owners were very attentive, the place was very clean, beds were very comfortable, and we loved the location. Damascus is a very walkable town, especially to the multiple bike shops, a few restaurants, and just a wonderful atmosphere. We will continue to use this rental when its available!

Comfortable and clean. We rented this for extended family and they mentioned that they wished that the windows faced the river instead of the road. Perhaps you can put some windows on the back some day. Great hosts.

Amazing spot

We had a wonderful time in a wonderful town. The location is amazing and so central to bike shops and downtown that you can walk everywhere. One of the bedrooms has road noise at night so if you are sensitive about that you may need earplugs. The beds were so soft and comfy.

Wonderful downtown Damascus cottage

This is a wonderful two bedroom cottage in a great central location in downtown Damascus It is walking distance from all the restaurants and the bike rental shops. This apartment over the garage is separate from the main house with no noise between the two. It is right on the main road through town so you will have some car noise. The place is spotless and well maintained. It has a fully furnished kitchen, though we didn’t do much cooking. It has a grill and fire pit for a lovely evening roasting marshmallows. Our host was incredibly responsive and ensured we had everything we needed. This is exactly what a VRBO is supposed to be.

Downtown by the river

We really enjoyed our stay here and would come back. Everything worked fine, no issues. Comfortable, well maintained, and and located in town so it was convenient to businesses and eateries. It backs right up to the river and there is a fire pit in the yard where we enjoyed roasting marshmallows. Great host - Recommended!

Damascus get-away

Great property, great location. Owner is very nice; allowed us to park our bikes in the downstairs garage which was super helpful. Clean, well appointed, with lots of nice extras (coffee, breakfast bars, etc). Cooked steaks on the gas grill and worked great. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful Property

We had a great time over a long weekend in Damascus. This property had a wonderful location to rent bikes for the Creeper Trail and was just a short drive to Abington. We used this as our home base while we did some hiking and biking over a few days. The apartment had everything we needed for our stay. The owner Susan was so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Fabulous for a long weekend!

A couple of girlfriends and I chose this as a base from hiking Grayson Highlands/Mt Rogers and biking the Creeper trail. It was perfect for our needs and Susan was super sweet, even asking if we needed any specific dishes/utensils to be available to make Thanksgiving dinner. Kitchen was super spacious and well outfitted. The location is awesome- riverside but also right in the middle of town- easy to get to everything, yet still super quiet. Also, highly recommend the Abingdon Winery- see the brochure on the table:)

Clean Apartment and great location!

Very clean apartment with easy self check-in. Great location on the main street in town within walking distance to all the shops and bike rental shops if riding the Virginia Creeper Trail. Can also walk to a few eating establishments nearby. Relaxing to sit on the covered porch and listen to the water, or people watch, as people walk or ride bikes along the sidewalk. Good communication with the owner and easy instructions for check out.

an ideal house for a family reunion

Everyone fell instantly in love with this beautiful, comfortable and roomy house. There were numerous comfortable places to gather, the spacious front porch, sunroom, back deck (with a peaceful view of the creek), parlor, dining room, breakfast room and upstairs den. Everyone had their own lovely bedroom. Even the bathrooms were exceptional! We loved being on Laurel Street and walked to Blue Blaze to be shuttled up the mountain for a bike ride down the Creeper Trail. We also took a short hike on the Appalachian Trail. We stopped by Abingdon and the Barter Theater, but had to scrap our plans to see a play a couple of months ago when they changed their calendar. It was great to be in a lovely home, centrally located in Damascus and share the beauty of southwest Virginia with our family members from out of state.
