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.

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.

This location was great for our family of 4 and two dogs. Love the fenced-in backyard so that the pups could run around. Very clean inside. Great shower/bath. We had everything we needed! Bonus was that it was right across the street from the Creeper Trail and a bike shuttle service. We would definitely stay here again!

Best Location for AT
Great place directly across the road from Creeper Trail/AT. The house had everything we needed and no problem getting checked in. Damascus is a great town with hiking and restaurants. The house was basically very clean except for some of the fine details - baseboards and things like that. We'd stay again in a heartbeat and recommend this cute house to anyone.
