Pros: Great Location as it is within walking or biking distance to all the bike rental places and Damascus Diner. It's just steps from Shuttle Shack (highly recommend). Loved having the front porch, great for people watching. Loved having covered parking. Cons: If you are a light sleeper, the street noise may bother you. If you're a heavy sleeper, you'll have no problems.

My stay started off with me requesting an early check-in, which Anya promptly granted. When we arrived and I couldn't find a way to light the gas grill, one text message to Anya resulted in a lighter stick being delivered within the hour, and I knew we were in for a good stay!

We LOVED this little house! Damascus is such a FUN place for us - we love to hike and don't like the busy cities. The house is located ON the Apalachian Trail. Damascus is one of three cities that the trail actually goes THRU the town. We just loved the front porch and the back porch. The kitchen in the house was lovely though we walked into town for most meals. Great location. Highly recommend.

Awesome location right in town. House was super clean and welcoming. We had everything we needed. We rode the Virginia creeper trail and had a great time. Will stay again if we are back in the area.

Stayed in Damascus for the weekend to hike 16 miles on the AT. Cottage was a great location and had everything we needed for the weekend. It was clean and very comfortable.

Great place to stay for the weekend. Had everything we needed and then some. Kitchen was stocked although we only had coffee. Definitely would rent again.

Great!

Perfect location & accommodations!

We had a great stay. Clean and comfortable. The road is a bit busy during the day but we had no issues sleeping at night. Also some good people watching from the front porch. Would recommend the homemade biscuit sandwiches from the gas station across the street.

My husband and I enjoyed a nice little break in Damascus. This little cottage is cozy & clean. Just a short little bike ride and your on the Virginia Creeper Trail. Also, nice being within walking distance of several eating places and bike rentals in town. The road out front is busy, but manageable. Will visit again!

Perfect spot for three nights. Had everything we needed.

So this property is right off the main road so if you’re used to 100% quiet it probably isn’t for you, but we didn’t have an issue at all. We booked bike rentals at the shuttle shack (100% recommend them as well) and it was only two buildings away from the house so we were able to walk. The house had literally everything we could have needed including a sound machine and linens/ dishes/ paper towels. My kids went through all the games and LOVED the yard!! We will definitely stay here again next time we come! :)

Very good location. Walking distance to Creeper Trail and river. Property was as advertised.

The place has everything you need to spend a week in the rural town. We went there to enjoy the bike riding on the Virginia Creeper Trail and hiking in Appalachian Trail. With the guidance provided in the house, we also tried the fly fishing trip and enjoyed it! Definitely will come back again and explore the rich culture of the Virginia Mountain life. There are plenty of firewoods on the backyard. We were planning to build a fire on the fire pit and enjoy the mesh mellow. But it was raining at night and we were too tired in another one. It would be even better if there are chess set provided. My son was into Chess but did not bring one with him this time. The house is next to the highway and may get noisy sometimes. But overall there are not much traffic there. We also had to cross that to go to the down for dining and activities. The bedrooms does not have much space to hang clothes. The linens are plenty and feel brand new. The next door across the street is a hostel and may get many cars parked on the side.

It was perfect as we were in town to ride the Virginia Creeper and surrounding biking and hiking trails. The house was really comfortable plus ideally located for walking in town.

Awesome

Property was perfect and just as described. Very centrally located and walking distance to everything. Clean property and great kitchen setup with all you need.

Well decorated older home. Very cozy.

Cozy and Clean. Quiet for sleeping. Beds were very comfortable. VERY convenient to the Creeper Trail. We really enjoyed our stay!

The house is filled with wonderful touches that made it one of the best stays we have had in a rental home. There were cherry tomatoes growing on the porch and maple syrup in the spice rack. Great lighting, sleeping, TV, and kitchen. The photo, though, does not show the how the home is in the middle of town on a busy truck route close to neighboring businesses. The comfort of the home, though, outweighed the bad daytime traffic noise, and we would stay there again.

Had a great time biking the trail. The property was clean and accessible. Everything you need. Sometimes a little noisy from the traffic.

Pro: wonderful sheets, nice beds, very clean, friendly service Con: loud busy street, beside a hostel, and needs blackout curtains in kids room.

What a great spot. This place is all brand new. They certainly went the extra mile. Charming decor, great location, stocked kitchen, beautiful yard, patio & front porch, comfortable beds, luxurious towels & linens. What a great addition to the Damascus community.
