Cobwebs throughout the place. Bad painting and some spots not painted. Ants in the bathroom. 5:30 am cars stopping next to the place blasting Spanish music. Bad musty smell. Couldnt open windows to air out due to no screens in the windows. Tried to add photos but it wont let me.
Had everything we needed. 2 comfortable beds, an adequate kitchen (could use a few more utensils) and a clean environment. The road was a little noisy but enough to stop us from going back.
I can't really review the property because I could not stay and utilize it. Opened the door, was very hot inside, no lights would come on, refrigerator/freezer was warn inside. Circuit breakers were not tripped. Apparently no power to the cottage at all. The host did not know when power would be restored, so we left with no place to stay. There were no other vacancies in the area, so we drove home dejected. What a waste of driving and our plans fell through. Since the place was warm, the power must have been off for a few days. Host allowed full refund, but VRBO would not allow it. So I am fighting with VRBO to provide 100% refund. They still owe me $55 and they are ignoring my emails. Been about 9 days since I heard from them and now I started a credit card dispute. What terrible customer service with VRBO. They should provide me with some kind of compensation for all our troubles. But instead I have taken plenty of time to deal with this problem that I did not cause and they ignore the situation.
Convenient to the Virginia Creeper and other Trails.
It was good for a couple of days. Plenty of cleaning supplies and kitchen utensil's. No closets or drawers to put clothes.
Would stay again if a short visit.
It is a very convenient location. Across the street is the Grocery store with gasoline and the pizza/sandwich shop. Later, we did walk 250 yards to the brewery. Small parking area for a large p/u truck. Biggest drawback is that it is only 15 feet from the main road going through Damascus, which tends to be busy and noisy. And no front or back usable porch..
We were satisfied with our stay. Home was very clean! Quiet neighborhood and Walking distance for groceries. Located right on the Creeper Trail. Will stay there again.
We enjoyed staying at this cute little house when we came to town to bike the Virginia Creeper! It was very clean and had everything that we needed. Only complaint would be the plastic mattress covers. But otherwise it was perfect for us!
