You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Relaxing, Cozy, Convenient, 2 mi. from the Creeper Trail/South Holston Lake,

Welcome to our Vacation Home. The house offers a huge yard with fire pit and creek located at 26486 Denton Valley Rd. Abingdon, VA. Enjoy watching the birds from the back deck. In the summer we have an abundance of hummingbirds that visit our feeders. We are in the process of converting our 2 acre field into a pollinator's paradise with the addition of a flower farm. The house is only 2 miles from the Creeper Trail and South Holston Lake. It is a 15 minute drive from Abingdon, home of the most famous stage in Virginia - Barter Theatre. Likewise it is only a 15 minute drive to Damascus, the heart of the Creeper Trail with nice restaurants and bike rentals.

This area is an outdoor lover's dream come true!

Damascus is also just 12 minutes away and you are not a far drive from Mount Rogers State Park and White Top Mountain. We are located at the midpoint of the open part of the Creeper Trail.

Family vacation

We arrived late monday night due to car issues, but we loved the quiet neighborhood. My kids and I actually walked to the public boat launch one day. Only complaint we had was there wasn't really a creek on property that we could get to, but otherwise it was perfect. We are actually adding the area to our list of possible relocations.

Great girls’ weekend getaway!

Carol and Fred are great! House was spotless. Nice, quiet setting. Room for the four of us to spread out and relax. Everything was well stocked. We had a great time at Barter Theatre too! Definitely worth the visit. Thanks for your hospitality!

Country Livin’

We stayed at this VRBO once before in the winter and loved it. And now we love it in the summer. So clean, everything we needed was provided. Plenty of towels and washcloths. Very quiet and peaceful, plenty of room for the kids to play. Next up—a stay in the fall!

We enjoyed our stay. The house was easy to find. Lots of room in the yard for games. Quiet neighborhood. We walked across the street to pet the horses. The horses were friendly and my grandson enjoyed petting the horses.

Nice location/ well labeled

We stayed at the property while in town for the Yeti 100. The house was easy to find with a big sign out front. It is clean and well stocked with supplies. The location is great with horse fields across the street. It is very close to Abingdon Vineyards and close to the Yeti Alvarado aid station. It is about a 15 - 20 minute drive to either Abingdon or Damascus.

Quiet, Peaceful, Clean

We enjoyed our stay in this very clean house. We appreciated having a place to store our bicycles. The bed was very comfortable, plenty of hot water for the showers, and our host was very responsive. Our cell service was spotty there but having a land line available was a great plus for us since my husband had to be available for work calls. It’s out in the country but a short and scenic drive to town.

Perfect hideaway

This was the perfect spot for us to stay as my husband ran the Yeti. This cozy place is located less than 5 min from the VA Creeper Trail - Alvarado entrance. While there were only 3 in our party, the house easily could have housed a group of 6. The host even provided coffee (now you will forever hold my heart.). The flowers outside and pumpkins growing along the house brought a smile to my face. We will definitely be looking at staying here again.

Comfy, Clean, and Nostalgia inducing

We stayed in this home with another family during our VA Creeper Trail trip. There were plenty of beds and the house was comfortable. The kids said they felt like they were at Granny's house! It is an older house that has been up-fitted for renting but very clean and not a speck of dust to be found. The kids read books and had fun hunting down the little surprises and spent the rest of the time catching fireflies and playing in the creek. I enjoyed watching the hummingbirds feed and the kids running around outside through the kitchen window. It was so nice not to have to bring our own paper goods. The house was clean and well-furnished. Sheets and towels were fresh and clean. There's also a perfect place to stash your bikes in the basement overnight if you wish. Owners were very communicative and considerate. The drive into town was easy and our VA Creeper shuttle was a short drive as well. Definitely recommend for families and medium sized groups.

Thw home was very clean and an excellent place to stay. We were there for the MLB Classic baseball game and it was only 40 minutes from Bristol Motor Speedway. Location is very close to hiking trail and streams for fishing. All I can say is excellent all the way around. Due to weather the game was delayed a day, the host was very accommodating in allowing us to extend an additional day. Check in was very easy and all information for our stay was detailed. Would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for very nice place to stay in the area!!

Peaceful

The house was charming and immaculately clean. It was a perfect space for us to escape to during a difficult time. Our only suggestion would be some sort of steps on the hillside from the drive to the back door - that would be helpful, especially for an older visitor. Otherwise it was great.
