Charming & Comfortable Getaway

We had a great time! Older home with alot of charm and comfort. We went bike riding 2 days in a row on the Creeper Trail and enjoyed it so much. Awesome scenery and great weather for the best trail we've been on. Thank you so much!!!

Summers Cottage end-of-summer getaway

Such a charming cottage, and a GREAT location! We were able to walk to restaurants and the local brewery, and the Virginia Creeper terminus is just a couple of blocks away. We loved the spaciousness and homey vibe. While Main Street is a busy road, traffic is slow and it settles down early so we got a great night's sleep in the comffy bed. A great way to celebrate the end of summer!

Quaint historic cottage in great location

The house was perfect as a base for our bike trips on the Virginia Creeper and New River Trail. It is only a short bike ride to the Creeper trailhead and close to many shops and restaurants in Abingdon. The house was very clean and cozy with all the amenities we needed. The owners were great to work with. We were able to extend our stay at the last minute which was nice. We would definitely come back the next time we need to stay in Abingdon.

Sibling weekend

The house was very inviting & the location was perfect! We only had a couple of issues which affected my score on cleanliness. One of the bathroom sinks was stopped up so badly it was unuseable and there was quite an ant problem.

Outstanding Location

Outstanding location; walking score 10. Perfect for biking the Creeper, attending a performance at the Barter, browsing the gift shops, and enjoying wonderful restaurants. The house is spacious and well equipped. Loved the large dining room table for game playing. Unfortunately, one of the guests had to take additional allergy medication given the age of the house and evidence of mold. Thanks for a very comfortable and convenient stay.

Great location!

The house was perfectly located allowing us to walk to many restaurants and trails. The property host was very helpful. The bed was comfortable and there was beautiful artwork throughout the house. The house is very, very old but charming and if you are looking for modern amenities then this isn’t the place for you. The bath towels could use an upgrade and a mirror needs to be added to the back bathroom. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much in Abingdon, VA.

Convenient location

Cute on the outside. Weird that both bathrooms were side by side. Would have been nice to have a more in the second bath. Easy walk to downtown and the Creeper Trail. The only downside was parking in the evening… overflow parking from Rain Restaurant made it difficult to park in the designated spot - a VERY tight squeeze. No fault of the owner but something to be aware of.

It was absolutely beautiful.

After 2 minutes of arriving, we locked our selfie's out of the house. Went to the neighbors and was givin the owners address. Walked there and got any extra key. The town of Abingdon was awesome. Came to town for the Bristol TN NASCAR race. 30 minutes from the track. I’d go back and stay there again.

Great Days with Cousins

Location was great, space was was great, felt a few things needed attention. Screen door on back and rock steps were not the safest. Some areas did not look as clean, kitchen floor and bathrooms were not spotless. Think this quaint older home has more potential than was given. we enjoyed the area and the Pizza recommendation was great. Thanks for sharing your home.

About the host

Hosted by Ramsey White

Host profile image
I am a retired dentist and currently the Director of the College for Older Adults at the Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center. My wife is a retired museum director and the author of two books on the material culture of our region - 'Great Road Style' (University of Virginia Press) and 'Back Country Makers' (University of Tennessee Press). We both love old houses and local art. This property reflects those interests.

Why they chose this property

Abingdon is a beautiful small town in Virginia's highlands. It has a large historic district with many restored 19th century homes and commerical structures. My wife and I live in the district and have restored several homes in it. When this adorable Queen Anne cottage came on the market 3 years ago, we could not resist. We have basically left the cottage as it was when built in 1906, but added modern amenities. We look forward to moving in it ourselves when we 'downsize' at some point in the future.

What makes this property unique

Located on the eastern edge of Abingdon's historic district, Summers Cottage is within easy walking distance of six restaurants, the Barter Theatre, the Virginia Creeper Trail (biking and walking)and other local attractions. One can take in Abingdon's historic district and Southwest Virgina's scenic beauty while staying in a home, and enjoying a small town, but cosmopolitan, atmosphere.
