We are so sorry!
The house was lovely. Had everything we needed as advertised. Unfortunately, the town of Damascus was devastated by a flood due to Hurricane Helene. We lost power about 9:40am on 9/27. Also, lost water around the same time. We had to evacuate around 5:30pm on 9/27. We apologize for not being able to wash the dishes or complete some of the other check out procedures due to the circumstances. We are devastated for the community of Damascus as they have suffered catastrophic damage in town. Luckily the house was out of harms way at the time of our departure. The town and people of Damascus are amazing and we wish them well in the recovery process. We got to speak to several locals and many of them were worried that our trip was ruined. Which obviously was of no concern to us, but speaks to the people in the area.

Cute and Comfortable Home
Home was clean and had everything we needed and more. Really appreciated the small touches - charging ports at each bedside, snacks, wood and kindling for fire pit, even an umbrella! Conveniently located near Creeper Trail and Abingdon’s Barter Theatre. Truly a comfortable home away from home!

Damascus cottage
The property was as pictured, for the most part surface clean. In the 2nd bathroom the towel racks were not affixed to the wall well and you could not hang a towel on them. We had a real problem with the kitchen sink not draining. 12+ hours after contacting the property manager, we did get a return call with a promise of a plumber to come by and look at the problem. He tried and was unable to fix the slow drain. He left with a promise he would return the next day with other equipment, sadly we did not see or hear from him. The property did not have a dishwasher so we had no recourse but to try to use the sink and wait for the water to slowly drain out; usually taking at least 2-3 hours. We loved the fire pit and the gas grill was a life saver. All in all would stay again ONLY if the drainage problem was fully rectified.

Comfortable and cute
We stayed here for the weekend with another couple. The good: athough the area appears a bit sketchy, it is very quiet and it’s an easy and safe walk/bike ride into town. We enjoyed sitting on the porch or the side yard each morning, watching catbirds and a nest of phoebes on the kitchen porch. The kitchen is very well stocked with plenty of dishes, flatware, cooking pots/pans, along with spices/seasonings and baggies/plastic wrap. The living room furniture was very comfortable, as were the beds. The master bedroom and bath are lovely and large, We appreciated the thick towels, plush TP and good quality paper towels! The not-as-good: There isn’t a dishwasher, which didn’t bother us but might be a deal breaker for some. There’s quite a disparity between the bedrooms. We slept in the smaller bedroom because we’re not very big people. It’s pretty close quarters (only a few inches between bed and one wall). Although there isn’t a closet, there are hooks for hanging things. We managed just fine by appropriating some of the laundry room space, but some might be unhappy with that arrangement. The bathroom for this bedroom is not en suite, but it has plenty of room. The shower, however, is tiny and anyone who is tallish and/or large might have a hard time turning around in it. My husband and I are under 5’6” so it didn’t present a problem for us. All things considered, we greatly enjoyed our stay and felt very much at home. Would definitely stay here again

Central location for hiking and biking!
The house was perfect for a three day getaway in the mountains. It was very comfortable for two couples that needed to rest after a busy day exploring the area. The house was clean with a kitchen better stocked than my own. It’s the perfect location for biking the creeper trail. Close enough to downtown Damascus, you can bike to a local bike shop and be transported to the beginning of the trail. If you enjoy hiking you will be centrally located to multiple options.

Beautiful cottage!
My friend and I were in Damascus to hike at Greyson Highlands. We grabbed this VRBO last minute and couldn’t believe how much we lucked out! This place was really nice, very clean and well stocked. The beds were very comfortable and the home was well stocked with new towels, Keurig pods, cleaning supplies and travel size toiletries. It was immaculate, and had all the comforts of home. Lots of streaming options on the tv, and a nice large driveway to park our car. Super close to everything! It’s evident that the owners take a lot of pride in this rental. Would definitely recommend staying here!
