First off, I must start this review telling everyone how amazing, sweet, attentive, and kind the owners were to us. I have rented a lot of homes and properties over the years and by far this is the best experience with an owner that I have ever had. Marc met us shortly after check in and we had the most pleasant and fun conversation and really got to know each other. Dorata checked on us during the stay to ensure we had everything we needed. They instantly made us feel welcome and special. It was a true blessing to get to know this wonderful couple and stay in their beautiful cottage. This was our first trip to the Abingdon/Damascus area and we will definitely return and stay here again. The cottage was right on the Creeper Trail. Everything about the cottage was charming, comfortable, and quaint. Dorata has the kitchen stocked with bottled waters and snacks which we really appreciated. Enjoying my coffee on the front porch listening to the rippling river across the street in the morning was so peaceful. The cottage is beautifully decorated. The king bed was super comfortable. The kitchen is nicely stocked and the bathroom was extremely spacious. Plenty of towels, shampoo, and soaps. The large couch and den was also a great place to relax and hang out. We were located right between Damascus and Abingdon. Both are quintessential small historic downtowns with lots of charm (which I love). Great restaurants and shops. Short drive to downtown Bristol made for a fun afternoon. The trick or treaters were out downtown and we enjoyed the Halloween block party in Abingdon. It was awesome! We visited the winery down the street from the cottage. Everyone we met on this trip was so lovely and a delight to talk to. This is the PERFECT place for a couple to relax, recharge, find tranquility, hike, bike, and enjoy nature. I could go on and on about how much I loved this trip and staying at this cottage. It exceeded all my expectations and we will look forward to staying here again. I may even bring more family and rent out both apartments in the "general store" along with the cottage! A million thank you's to Dorata and Marc. You helped make my husband's birthday celebration and our trip extra special!!
