Tucked just off the main road, Lil Blue is located just a less than 30 minute drive to the Bristol area and minutes away from Abingdon. We enjoyed the Bristol Caverns, Appalachian Caverns and Backyard Terror and Dinosaurs one day of our stay. Then as we drove home, various locations of The Virginia Creeper Trail. The house was stocked with plenty of essentials. The location is pretty quiet, inviting and relaxing; we enjoyed morning coffee on the back porch. The owners have a great personality, leave an extra touch of hospitality and quick to respond.

Very Accommodating
Great location. Went up to visit family. While speaking with host, he called to check in with us to see how things were going, I mentioned we were building a large fence enclosure. Host offered to lend us an Auger to drill the post holes. It saved us about 300 in rental fees. Very nice of them.

Lovely property!
We enjoyed this property during our weekend getaway! The hosts were communicative and helpful, it was clean and comfortable, and we loved the convenient location in walking distance of restaurants and shops. I agree with other reviews that a few privacy shades in the main room would be much appreciated by guests, but overall we highly recommend this property, and we look forward to staying here again in the future!

Great 39th Anniversary Trip
My wife and I are considering moving to SW Virginia and have spent increasingly more time there. We loved the location of the Blue House as well as the house itself. Tastefully and thoughtfully decorated, open and spacious. Abbey and Ron have done a fantastic job on the house and are gracious hosts. Check in and check out were simpler than any hotel. It made for a perfect launch pad for us to hike several times in the area as well as ride the Creeper Trail. A block off the main street, quiet but incredibly convenient to restaurants and shopping. You will love it!

Cute little house
It was a cute clean little house. Conveniently located to downtown. The driveway was very narrow and the trees needed to be trimmed, but we also had a big truck. There was plenty of seating but no table to eat at and could use a couple bar stools. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and the appliances were very nice. Check in and check out were super easy. I would stay again.

Quick stop in Abingdon
This property is well-maintained, and close to the historic section of Abingdon. Wall mounted temperature control units operate efficiently and quietly. Kitchen is well-stocked with prep and cooking tools. Fridge has through the door H2O and ice. Fun decor, TV has several streaming platforms, lots of nightlights are a nice touch. Easy access to Virginia Creeper Trail for cyclists and walkers. Also would be a good place for Bristol Motor Speedway fans to stay - just 25 min trip to the race and an alternative to the congestion and sold out hotels on race weekend. Nice assortment of retail shops in area from antiques to olive oil to boutiques. Historical sites and an active theater downtown. Recommended restaurants - Rain, 128 Pecan, Gilous Cafe and Girl & The Raven.

Anniversary Trip
We absolutely loved our stay here, it was so cozy and open. The weather was beautiful, we walked everywhere up and down Main Street, the home is right across the street from Girl and the Raven which was an amazing breakfast spot and right behind there is the Sweetbay brewery which had great music and awesome beer! The home is in the perfect spot where it’s close but still private!
