My husband and I stayed here over a long weekend to explore the Staunton area and it worked out nicely. The owners were always very on top of communication, kind, and accommodating. Everything in the home was decorated well, and functioned well for 2 people who like to save a bit and do breakfast in the house and have some leftovers around after eating out. The location was close to downtown and we walked practically everywhere in the downtown area from the house. It does sit atop a pretty steep hill, with a couple block walk on the opposing side to above the train station and down some stairs. Worked out well for us since we like to walk places if possible, but it may be a challenge for someone who wants to walk but needs flat ground. Would stay here again!
The Sparrow is most charming and the host was most hospitable. We were close to the lovely town of Staunton and the master bedroom & bath were very comfortable!
Sparrow House is comfy, cozy and well cared for. Close walk to town for dinner and shopping, or great jump off spot for vineyards and outdoor recreation. Highly recommend.
This was an ideal rental for our family of four. The cottage is located in close proximity to Woodrow Park, which provides a walking bridge to cross the railroad tracks and venture into the historic downtown district on foot. The hosts were super nice and had all the lights on in the house when we arrived late in the evening; there was no fumbling in the dark to punch in the lock code or enter the house, which we very much appreciated. This was probably the cleanest VRBO rental weâve ever booked, as well. The whole house was spotless. We hope to be back as soon as the American Shakespeare Center performs MacBeth. Highly recommend!
Four of us (two couples) spent three nights at this cottage while we attended the local Shakespeare festival. The house was in a terrific location, just a short walk from town but far enough away that it was quiet and peaceful at night. The property was immaculate, and the front and back porches were as nice a place to rest and relax as was the living room. The kitchen was provisioned with everything we might need, and the owners left us a welcome basket of sweet and savory treats to enjoy. When we come back next year, we will certainly stay here again.
The Sparrow was superb, clean, well-equipped, charming, reasonably priced and close to downtown.
Such a great weekend staying at The Sparrow in Staunton. Perfect place for a girlfriendâs getaway!
The owners stayed in touch before and during our stay. They were so hospitable!! Will definitely be back!
We loved The Sparrow and it proximacy to everything we needed. The cottage was very clean and adorable and all the utinsels needed to cook were available. It was nice to walk to the historic downtown and feel safe doing so. We highly recommend The Sparrow to other travelers.
The host couple of this house were wonderful. They answered all my questions and provided little extra things for our stay. The house was also sparkling clean. The house is within walking distance to downtown Staunton (although it is a steep hill to walk there) It is an area where some of the houses are being remodeled and some are not lived in. As mentioned in their write up- their house was completely remodeled. We are an older couple so it was a little tough going up and down the stairs from kitchen and living room to downstairs bedroom.
