I have been coming to the Damascus area my whole life. We have a cabin 5 miles from this property. This year we needed a larger spot to hold 3 generations celebrating my mother’s 80th. This home was perfect. Beautiful landscape, epic sunrises from the bedroom balconies, trails for hiking, private riverfront beach and a basement with games! The only challenge is limited seating and bathroom storage areas. There are no towel racks or table tops in the vast bathroom to hold personal items. With 8 people sharing the hallway full bath, this is a lost opportunity. In addition, the basement has a great TV and games but only one chair for viewing. There is a bar table for four. Movie night was a bit tough as we all went to the loft. With the Futon and the sofa, we still had to sit in the floor.
Otherwise, everything was great! The pitchers are amazing. Both private porches and shared porches. The kitchen is well stocked. We cooked for 10 every night. There is even a fenced in area for the dogs. This was great when letting them out at night.
Wifi worked great! We were all online working in the mornings and had plenty of bandwidth.
As “locals” we felt like we found a hidden gem in our neighborhood. Thank you to our hosts for a fabulous visit!
