This Creeper Trail Cottage is steps away from the VA Creeper Trail, fishing with multiple rivers and a relaxing space for the entire family. This two bedroom and one and a half bath has plenty of open space. Just outside of Damascus there are plenty of outdoor options. Enjoy the peace and quiet of the beautiful mountains surrounding Taylors Valley.
This house was the perfect location to the activities we had planned. The owner had everything you would need to make your getaway comfortable. They even had Holiday decorations! Beds were comfortable, Tv's in every room and living room furniture comfortable. Weather was not the best, so we will be back so we can take advantage of the nice outdoor seating!
The property was beautiful. Situated near a running stream with mountains framing, simply amazing. The amenities were great and the owner was available and helpful. 5/5 would absolutely stay again.
This was a charming house. It was well appointed and very comfortable. Fully stocked with dishware, silverware, pots and pans. Beds were extremely comfortable with luxury linens. I would recommend this house to 2 couples or 1 couple with children. A note- you cannot access the Virginia Creeper Trail on bikes from the house. This should be noted in the description.
Great little house. Gorgeous interior (I love the exposed beams!). We felt safe in the area, neighbor was super friendly & invited us by to see his turkeys! Definitely in the âmiddle of nowhereâ in the best possible way! WiFi worked great, host communication was almost immediate. Stayed here for one night to drop our daughter off at college!
The propertywas very nice, clean and well stocked with essentials like coffee and hot chocolate. The towels wer very soft and fluffy. Loved that there was a hair dryer there! Also nice to have an onsite washing machine and dryer. Loved having a bathroom for my husband and I and our son had the half bath to just need to use our bathroom for showering. Only negative there was no cell service there on the property. We could text and get online, but no cell service for making a call. That would have been nice to know before we got there. Also had to go to the community center to get the key code once we got to the property because there was no cell service and we could not yet connect in the house. Overall, nice place, very quiet and comfortable!
This is such a lovely little house. The setting is idyllic with a stream just across the street, and the house itself is so well cared for and thoughtfully furnished. I would love to come back with my husband for a weekend away.
We loved staying at this property. Our stay was short but we will definitely be coming back. We came for work in Mountain City and its only a short distance from there! The property is back in the woods off the beaten path but appeared to be in a safe area. It was super spacious and clean with a great porch in the back. The owners were also very responsive to my inquiries and questions and even got the property ready early for an early check-in. 10/10 recommend!
Home was exactly as described. Good for a couple or two couples without kids. The drive back would be a little tough after dark as itâs a few windy miles off of the main highway and about 10 minutes from downtown Damascus. Would book again if we were visiting Damascus.
We came for the Creeper. We did the Abington/Damascus section twice. Cozy house! Super clean! My daughter kept smelling the soaps and commenting on how sweet it was. A on everything but water pressure (which would be a D) We stayed dirty and biked again the next morning. It was absolutely perfect for us! Thanks Gabe!
Everything was so nice, comfortable, and clean. We unexpectedly had the very best scenery imaginable. A fast paced running brook just across the road. It was serene. A brisk walk down the road helped us to work out our travel stiffness. Although we had a tiny issue with our TV, Gabeâs FIL quickly came to our rescue. We did experience some low water pressure issues but we just pretended we were at camp and dealt with it. This place had everything we needed for our stay and we even cooked dinner for my nieces and nephews that live near by. Definitely would stay here again. Itâs not far from Food City grocery store and a diner.
If you really dig a very rural setting (Like we do), then this is definitely a great place to stay. The house was incredibly clean. Easy and quick communication with the owner(s) of the property. Cool little creek across the road that was really flowing good when we stayed making the stream pretty loud which was relaxing to hear. Very quiet âneighborhoodâ. Very pretty interior with exposed ceiling that looks great. The metal porcelain kitchen sink countertop was a fantastic touch as well. Cutely decorated and I canât speak highly enough of his clean it was. If there is any complaint itâs the water pressure, but not at the fault of the owner. Itâs very slow and weak pressure. Just know that if you book this very fun and nice place to stayââthat you will absolutely need to adjust your âgetting ready timesâ to be much earlier than you originally anticipate you should. It will take you a while to wash off soap, shampoo, etc. Beyond that, the stay was fantastic and canât brag enough on the property. Would absolutely visit it again if/when we are back in the area.
We found On the Trail to be cozy, comfortable & homey. Everthing was clean & well stocked. If we should pass this way again, we would choose On the Trail. Water pressurelow!
Property was very clean Kitchen had everything we needed. The Christmas tree & decorations were a very nice touch as we stayed on Christmas Eve & Christmas Day. Lovely home that Iâd stay at again.
The house is so cozy and homelike. From the creek across the road to the gas fireplace to the Christmas decorations, my son and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would 100% stay here again and for much longer than a single night.
The place was cute and clean. Easy to get to and had everything you would need. Only issue was the water pressure was very low so you couldnât take a shower. Overall, I would stay here again.
