Such a sweet little place with great access to the town! Since a good portion of the Virginia Creeper Trail is closed right now we used the house as a jumping off point to a day of hiking near Boone and another day of exploring Cherokee National Forest. The fenced in backyard was great for our dog. We ate out for all meals because there were so many great options and didn’t use the kitchen much but it looked to be well appointed. WiFi was strong and the TVs were great.

Check in was very easy.Noted recent upgrades on all appliances. Creeper trail runs right across the street, with a bike rental shop across the street too (check to see if open.) This makes it a great location for trail riders, or those that only want to watch the riders go by. Right beside of a restaurant. Other eats not far away. Great location, great stay.AWESOME rain shower!

We had such a great stay. The house is so clean, stocked, and cozy. Our dog was also with us and she liked the backyard. We spent a long weekend and when we come back, we will stay here again! The A/C was awesome and so was the shower. The location is perfect.

Nice amenities
The street number that was sent to us is incorrect. But we located it by photo. We were charged a last minute cleaning fee, but the floors and back porch were not cleaned.The kitchen had everything you would need for your stay and it is appointed well. The furnishings in the house are very nice. Bathroom updated and nicely done. We would stay again, but would appreciate if it was cleaned up a bit more. Especially the back porch.Proximity to the bike trail and AT is excellent.

Great base for Creeper Trail
A single family house with nice sized fenced-in yard. Furnishings were simple but more than adequate. Location is the big appeal to this property, right in town with the major bike rental outfitters for Creeper Trail literally across the street.As of April 2025, the community is still rebuilding from Helene damage, but still has plenty on offer in Damascus, nearby Abingdon with the Barter Theater, historic downtown and nice restaurants. Appreciated the book about Mount Rogers Natl Historic Area in the home to help us prep for a gorgeous hiking adventure there with the wild ponies.

Convenient Location
This was our first stay in Damascus. The town definitely charmed us. Staying here, we had several great restaurants/bar that we could walk to. The house was nicely decorated, comfortable, clean and modern. The bed was comfortable. The fenced yard was very nice for our dog but I would not leave him out there alone because the fence didn’t appear to be very sturdy. I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing stay in Damascus. The house has everything you need and is in walking distance to so many cool shops and restaurants in town. Fenced in back yard is ideal for bringing dogs as well. Amazingly easy access To the Creeper Trail - it’s right across the street! Highly recommend Wilson’s cafe, which is also practically across the street. Shrimp and grits - delicious! We’ll definitely check the availability here first when we plan our next trip.

Creeper Traol Adventure
The house was nicely decorated. Fairly clean. Kitchen needs a few more pots. Only one there
Close to many bike rentals. We did the trail both directions. Once with rented bikes and the other direction with our own bikes. Check your rental bikes closely. One of the bikes had a warped wheel with loose spokes. Damascus is a beautiful taunt town with many friendly people. We had a good time.
