This is a lovely place to stay, perfectly sized for two. Creatively decorated to remind one of the '60s, hence the name Hippie Pad, replete with a record player, Lava Lamp and other '60s memorabilia. Simply but nicely equipped. Brightly lit living kitchen and bath areas, several chairs and couches for comfortable lounging. We would love to stay here again!Abingdon is a friendly town with many great eateries, the wonderful Barter Theatre, lovely shops, and scenery and outdoor activities that make you want to come back.
