NOT FOR COLD WEATHER OR FAMILIES.
I'll start by saying I have booked and stayed at countless home rentals through a variety of rental agencies, and I have never come across a more poorly advertised and managed rental before. This is the first time I have ever written a negative review.
Our visit was for the 5 days over the Thanksgiving holiday with just 3 of us - my wife, toddler and me. At the time of booking, there were 3 bedrooms in the listing under "Rooms" tab. However in reality there is only ONE bedroom, and it is a studio, not a solo bedroom/house. The 2nd "bedroom" is not a bedroom at all (only a small room with pull-out couch, which when opened has no room to stand in, and no central heating so walls stayed Cold) and is not connected to the studio. There was no central heating in the Studio space, leading to the walls and floors staying cold. Also there is no kitchen table or dining space. The owner told us we could eat in the "Lodge", a separate building on property. However, when we went into the "Lodge" it was 47 degrees - so Thanksgiving dinner was had using our cooler as a dining table.
The final two nights we had visits from some sort of varmint or rodent who ate an entire loaf of bread amongst other things. I notified the owner, but they were unable to help until after our stay was completed.
I could see this property being a great base for an active outdoor vacation for two during the warmer months, but it is absolutely NOT built for families or cold weather.
*After being made aware, the owner updated listing, however it is still not listed or described properly for how the space actually functions.
This was a fabulous find!! Amazing views and the Mill was a special attraction! Downtown Abingdon was lovely for shopping and dinning. Short drive to Bristol for race events. Such a great weekend get away!!
I have a 37 year history in the film business as a set decorator and earned 3 Emmy Awards for Art Direction. I have owned Melinda Ritz Interiors from 1996 between Las Vegas and LA. Im thrilled to share with you Cascades at Parks Mill in Abingdon Virginia and be your hostess.
This is an exceptional and historic property comprised of an antique grist mill which was built in 1790 sited creekside in a very bucolic setting. We also have a lodge and bathhouse and the sum of the property is used as a private event space. The sights and sounds of nature are all you need to be transported to another time and place. Our mill property is 10 minutes from downtown historic Abingdon, a quietly sophisticated town where you can find great restaurants equal to any big city. For sport, jump on the Creeper Trail for a walk or ride in nature that is unparalleled.
We offer quiet nature, sounds of rushing water from the creek and falls, privacy and tranquility, yet 10 minutes away from the energy of historic Abingdon. This is a great place to unwind, relax and meditate.
