Cozy Damascus Home < 1 Mi to Appalachian Trl

Reviews

• Poop Towels

  2/5

  The place was fine, it was better than camping. But i took a shower and reached for a clean white towel. When i unfolded it, i saw long streaks of brown poop all over the towel. Ruined my stay there.

• Terrific location!

  5/5

  The Virginia Creeper Trail borders the backyard and the Appalachian Trail is a very short walk away. Close to everything in downtown Damascus.

  The house is small and the ceilings are low, similar to a lot of old wooden homes in this area. A very nice place for two people. Everything you need is provided. Decor is simple and adequate.

• At least the TP was good

  If you're going to Damascus to ride/walk the Virginia Creeper Trail, and are on a budget, this is a great place to stay. The guest host was quick to respond and generous in letting us check in a little early, and the house was good in spite of being quite old.Trail access is in the back yard of the home and there are several bike outfitters within a block or two. We went with the closest, Sundog Outfitters, which was very accommodating and had lots of products to enhance your trip.Getting back to the house; the kitchen was well equipped, the washer and dryer, microwave, fridge, TV, AC, and internet all worked well. The bed and pillows were good, though the comforter on the bed was too much. You either had to crank the AC way down or just sleep under the sheet: I think that comforter would keep you warm in an Arctic igloo.The shower was ok, plenty of hot water, but no light so don't try to shave in there. The bathroom sink had so little pressure it was hard to rince your hands, and this is the first VRBO I've ever stayed in with NO bath soap! What?!?The neighbors were less than friendly, working to load an unmufflered truck into a trailer at 11:30pm, but that was surely a one-off experience.And the TP was very good.

• Enjoyed our stay at this Damascus cabin

  We had a great time biking and hiking the Virginia Creeper Trail, which was steps from our door. The cabin had everything we needed and more. We loved being within walking distance of the town and restaurants. We plan to come back again...
