About this property

Whimsy on the Wood, Pet friendly, walking distance to VA Creeper and the A.T.

Within minutes walking distance of Downtown Damascus this quaint little A-Frame home surrounded by wooded acreage will make you feel cozy and right at home! This cute little home has a great open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring and three private decks that overlook the property. This cheerful house boost creativity and adventure!

Full access to the home's three bedrooms, two full baths, fully equipped kitchen and full sized washer and dryer. Private parking and fenced in yard. Pet friendly with some restrictions.

The chicken wire-style fence surrounds the maintained yard with plenty of room for kids to run and use their imaginations. Outside the fenced area, is a balance of thick-wooded privacy surrounding the property on three sides. Neighbors are almost invisible from the back porches in the spring and through mid-fall.

The master bedroom is on the main level and has a private deck with a full bath and laundry conveniently located across the hall.
The upper level features a loft bedroom with 2 twin beds and a trundle-twin bed, sitting area and has its own deck.
The lower level has the third bedroom with a queen bed, a futon sofa-bed, full bath, and gas fireplace.
Also located on the lower level is a workshop area that has plenty of room to store your bikes, or other outdoor equipment. Even basic tools are on site for unforeseen quick fixes.
Luxury linens, extra pillows, and plush towels and blankets are also provided. High-quality and highly-rated mattresses are on all beds.
Central air and heat, single carport near the house, wireless internet throughout the house, puzzles, games, books for all ages and other pastimes to help promote family time without screens.
Some cell phone carriers have troubles with service at the house and some areas in town. Verizon seems to work the best.

Strict no smoking policy in the house.

A nature lover and outdoor enthusiasts dream spot since it’s minutes from the four tails that intersect with Damascus: The Appalachian, The Virginia Creeper, The Iron Mountain and the HWY 76 Bicycle Route.
Tasty, fun restaurants and a local craft- brewery in Damascus with additional fabulous restaurant options in Abingdon, just 20 minutes away. Bike shops in town have bikes for the whole family to rent and friendly shuttle services.

Quiet Place
Cozy house in a quiet neighborhood. Great fenced in yard that our dogs loved! Kitchen had everything in it that we needed. And the grill worked great also. We even got the chance to use the fire pit. Only thing I would fix is to add more lighting to the kitchen/living room area. Would definitely stay again.

Awesome quiet weekend
The cottage was delightful! We traveled with our border collie and she loved the yard. This is definitely a dog friendly rental. We loved the location and the quiet neighborhood. We will stay here again.
