We had a wonderful stay at Whimsy on the Wood! Clean, peaceful, comfortable - Beautiful fenced in yard, plenty of space for our 2 dogs to enjoy! Definitely will book again!
This place is amazing. It had plenty of room, the dogs loved it outdoors. We had a great time in this house. I look forward to our next stay here. I had family all around me. Close to downtown, Creeper Trail, Abington and more. Truly the best getaway. The host Fancy is easy to get in touch with and she goes above and beyond helping with any questions.
What a cute spot in damascus to stay! We enjoyed our stay and loved the location although be known it is at the top of the hill, but we liked the exercise. Loved that the grocery store was near by. We had a great time!
Our stay at Whimsey on the Wood was fantastic! Plenty of room, very peaceful, and great proximity to outdoor adventures! We would definitely stay here again!
The cozy cottage was just what we needed. Location was excellent, had all the amenities we wanted and was very clean. Would definitely stay here again!
Our trip was scheduled when the floods came through Damascus. The host was gracious enough to let us change the dates of our stay! We have stayed at this home before and enjoyed it very much!
Our stay at this properly was prompted by a funeral. The accommodation was comfortable and relaxed given the stress of the situation. Highly recommended for the no frills, real cottager
The cottage was delightful! We traveled with our border collie and she loved the yard. This is definitely a dog friendly rental. We loved the location and the quiet neighborhood. We will stay here again.
