Our home sits on a lush green yard surrounded by black raspberry bushes and bordering our property you will find an abundance of apple trees. Just behind the tree line in the backyard you will find a path leading you to the stream. Pack your water shoes and enjoy the relaxing sounds of the creek rushing. We are minutes from accessing the Creeper Trail so be sure to bring your bikes or reach out to a rental company about bike rentals. The Creeper trail is perfect for enjoying a nature walk as well. Outside you will find our gas grill, porch with plywood dining furniture and seating for seven.

Inside the home you will find two bedrooms downstairs with a full bathroom and two bedrooms upstairs with a full bathroom. Let's talk about downstairs first! This home has full kitchen with everything you need for preparing meals at home. In the kitchen we have a small breakfast nook area with seating for three and in the dining room we have an additional seating area. Our living room is the perfect place for a movie night with a fire or to just simply sit and catch up! This home has fast internet and a smart TV with streaming capabilities.

The Neighborhood:
We are in the rural area of Konnarock in Damascus, VA. To our right are cows and acres and acres of pasture and to our left is a church, side note our house used to be this church's parsonage! The area is very remote though we do have a few local convenience stores and shops.

We are close by multiple hiking trails such as
• Creeper Trail

Great Property, Location and Host!
We can't say enough about our host, Molly (and her husband)! We came down to the area just after Hurricane Helene and had to navigate a few storm related issues but it was no big deal and Molly made it easy. The house is adorable and well appointed. The area is beautiful, close to great hiking & biking. Truly enjoyed our time and hope to be back soon!

Creeper Trail Family Trip
A perfect home away from home for our family trip! The creek in the back along with the big back yard provided lots of play time as well as relaxing time. The side porch was a great gathering place for games and early morning coffee. Would definitely return in the future. Thank you so much!

Great Time at the Parsonage with Family
We recently stayed at the parsonage, three generations, and enjoyed it immensely. Everything was exactly as stated in the description. It was clean, comfortable, and easily accessible. The host gave clear directions throughout the whole booking process. We enjoyed a fire by the amazing "babbling brook", and my grandchildren had so much fun playing air hockey in the basement. The only drawback was the strong smell of bug spray upon entry each time. Other than that, it was wonderful, and I highly recommend it to anyone.

Hiking get away
We wanted someplace near Grayson State Park to stay. This property was perfect for us and our 2 dogs. It was clean and had everything we needed. We ate every meal on the side porch. We made 2 nighttime fires in the fire pit. The beds were comfortable and the sheets smelled so good. The kitchen had everything we needed. The dishes were pottery dishes and so pretty. It was so nice to open the windows and let the fresh air in. The road to Grayson State Park and Damascus was really winding but we got used to it.

Cottage
Home was wonderful for our visit. Close enough to Damascus and Abingdon for a day trip each way. The cost for the cottage was appropriate Plenty of space inside and out for our 4 person family. WiFi worked great...smart TV was good size and easy to use Departure and cleaning requests were very appropriate and not excessive (we have experienced excessive cleaning requirements with other rentals recently...so this was a pleasant experience) Very clean and bright home, nicely renovated, beds very comfortable, and ample high quality linens provided. Overall a very enjoyable experience for our family outing. :-)

Charming House on a Creek in the Damascus Area
Wanted to spend a couple of nights in the greater Damascus area to visit the parks, charming Damascus and other outdoor areas. The Parsonage is located in Konnarock, about 20 or so minutes from Damascus, and 30 minutes from Grayson Highlands State Park. Nestled in a valley it's a charming house. Plenty of room for a family, well-appointed and very comfortable. Wi-Fi was very nice. Big, comfortable yard, great outdoor seating, plenty of room to spread out inside...it's the ideal home away from home. Tip: walk to the the Konnarock Store and Gas (1/4 mi. or so) if you need anything...including freshly prepared breakfast sandwiches (delicious!) and things you forgot to bring. Didn't have a dinner there, but reviews for that are very good, too. In an age when so many country stores are closing, or have been shutterd, here is an honest-to-goodness country store with friendly people and great food. This is a beautiful part of Virginia...and the Parsonage is a lovely place to enjoy all the area has to offer.

Very Pleasant Stay
The house is comfortable. The creek is great - the boys spent 5 days playing in it. (Including the day we left). The Konnarock and Danascus communities are awesome. We enjoyed the Damascus 4th celebration and then enjoyed the Konnarock 4th parade. The grandkids had a blast and so did the dog.

A peaceful getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed our "Creeper Trail" mini vacation! "The Parsonage" was a perfect home away from home for our family and extended family of four adults, two young teens and a nine year old! The kids loved playing in the creek, sitting around the fire and playing hide and seek in the very large yard! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and the location was peaceful and perfect! We drove six miles to Elk Gardens, hiked a short distance on the AT and saw stunning panoramic views and three wild ponies! Great place to stay for kid friendly and adult friendly activities!

Cozy but plenty of space
This cottage may look small from the outside but it has so much space. Our family was able to spread out and relax. The Wi-Fi reaches throughout the home and the Roku TV had all sorts of things to watch. It was also convenient to have a washer and dryer to come back to after hiking in the cold rain. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful home and location
We had a wonderful little getaway at Parsonage on the River. The home is well kept and clean. The property sits on a beautiful stream. When driving through the mountains there is little to no phone reception so ensure you have the directions downloaded prior to getting into the mountains. But the home and location are perfect. I would highly recommend!!

Perfect Getaway
My parents, myself and my 3 children came to stay at the Parsonage. We had a wonderful time! The house was exactly as advertised and everything was so clean. The beds were very comfortable and the outside was perfect with the fire pit. If we come to Virginia again, I will definitely be looking to see if this property is available.

Before School Starts
Very last minute getaway before the school year started, and we couldn't have been happier. Having a big open yard and stream in the back made it that much more fun and enjoyable. The owner was very responsive to questions and we lived the layout of the house. Very quiet and really gave us the opportunity to get away from every day stressers. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Oh, so cozy and relaxing
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Parsonage Cottage. The house is quaint (the online pictures tell it all) and I fell in love with it when I saw it online. Check in was a breeze - ready to move in and no keys to keep track of. WiFi and Roku, too. And the surrounding area is full of nature and history with so much to see and do. But after sightseeing, the cottage was so comfortable to come back to and just relax there under the sugar maples and apple trees and listen to the stream bubbling by. We hope to be able to come back again, for a longer stay.

We really enjoyed our stay, I would highly recommend the little house. It was so nice and cozy every
. We loved the property, it had everything we needed to cook with. One thing that I might suggest set up a card table and put a puzzle there.It would be a beautiful city for a Christmas when it’s snowing.
