Perfect Virginia Creeper Get-A-Way

My husband, myself, and another couple stayed four days at The Heartwood Farm Cottage and we just loved everything about it, the location was perfect. In-between Damascus and Abingdon it was right on the trail so one morning we peddled our bikes to Damascus and got a lift up to White Top and then the next day we went in the other direction and rode into Abingdon. The house was perfect for us. There was only one master suite but there is a barn door that can close off the other two bedroom and bathroom and that gave us a whole other suite. The house was so cosy and clean and we had all the acres to explore there as well. The barn, fire pit, grill, river and property were all terrific. We highly recommend Heartwood Farm Cottage.

Wow what a location.

This place was fabulous! 1/2 way between Damascus and Abingdon and 10 feet from the trail itself. They have bikes for you to use too. If you're not a biker, just walk 20 feet on the other side of the place and you're in the river! they even had great kayaks (rent). The property is large. there is a nice deck overlooking the river and a great fire pit....great fire pit. Also a way to climb up the mountain behind the house and see the sunrise. Let me say that the house was very comfortable. The Bed was great. ( and a huge double sink bathroom off of the King room.) Lots of very nice furniture in the home and several very comfortable couches and chairs. Maria and Lynn are super hosts. Very helpful folks. Please don't write this place off because it is a double wide. It did not feel like one at all on the inside. GREAT place.

Great retreat

This was a clean, nice house in a very quiet pretty area. The creeper trail is literally feet from the back door. The river is across the very small, quiet street which is practically in the front yard. Just sitting on the porch was awesome due to the sounds of the river. The barn, deck, lights, firepit all were nice for the kids and smores. We used the bikes to ride 2 mins to Alvarado station and beyond the big train trestle over teh river and into the fields toward Abingdon. Great for a quiet weekend getaway.

The Perfect Stay

We had such an amazing time on this beautiful property. It was the perfect spot for our race and for once I could actually sleep the night before a run. We can’t wait to come back and bring the family.
