Reunion get a way

Stayed at VRBO in Abingdon for a small VMI Reunion at a Classmate's house. VRBO is sort of old, but very workable and convenient to just about anything needed (Restaurants, groceries, etc). Needed a few things and Owners were right on top of things. Nice stay.

Location, location, location!

The guest house is indeed “quite modest” as described by the host. However, we knew that it was going to be an old house and were able to make any adjustments necessary. There was only one problem that we had, and that was more on our end, but the host helped us resolve it quickly and successfully.The location is terrific! It was within easy walking distance of not only downtown Abingdon, but also of the Virginia Creeper trail. There was plenty to do in the area and I would highly recommend any show at The Barter Theater, and several local restaurants were quite good. Abingdon Olive Oil Company is also well worth a visit. It was a pleasant stay and we would stay again if we found ourselves going to that area.

Great Abingdon get away location

My husband and I choose to stay here while visiting the Abingdon area. The house was perfect. Liked that because of the acreage it did not seem like we were in a town. Other than the train, it was very quiet. Rode our bikes to the Creeper trail from the house. Walked into town to get dinner. Easy to get to the other destinations we wanted to visit (e.g. Great Channels, Grayson Highlands State Park). Sweetbay Brewery had very good beer. Owner was very receptive to my inquiries. Would highly recommend staying here.

Overnight in Abington

We broke up a long drive with an overnight stay here at this quaint guesthouse on historic property. It's very private, quiet and delightfully close to the Virginia Creeper Trail -- just a pleasant stroll away. The owner was accommodating and very quick to respond to questions. We hope to be back!

Very Special

Historic guesthouse of an 1827 mansion on 12 beautiful acres of lawns and woods. Completely private, yet centrally located. The wonderful Virginia Creeper Trail begins at the end of the drive, and a grocery store, farmer’s market, Barter Theater, and Main Street shops and restaurants are a short walk away.

Comfortable and relaxing.

Lovely cottage in a peaceful location where we saw lots of deer in the yard. We went to the Barter Theater, visited lots of shops, went on the Creeper Trail twice, and hiked to see the ponies in Grayson County. We had a lovely week away.

Beautiful property and convenient

We loved staying in Frank's extra home. He share the very interesting history of the property that looks over the town in the winter. Walkable to the Va Creeper and to restaurants. After leaving behind a speaker, the hosts graciously sent it to me. Such a cute town and great hosts!

Base camp for the Yeti 100

We used the property as our base camp as I ran the Yeti 100 on the VA Creeper Trail. The house is settled in secluded wooded area yet in the middle of town and right at the end of the trail. There was plenty of space we were able sit and relax after the race. I would gladly stay here again.

Hidden gem

It was a lovely historic bachelor's quarters for a historic home built in 1827 and added on to during the 1930's. There was plenty of room for eight people if needed. It sat on a 12 acre property surrounded by woods so you didn't even feel like you were in the middle of town. My dog was happy sniffing all the rabbit holes and watching the deer that hid in the woods and fed on the lawn.

Conveniently located.

Loved the location, that it is pet friendly, clean and provided all that is needed for a very comfortable stay. It can be a little tricky to find at first. But once you do, oh my! Private with a big yard for your pooch to run around in and you can walk to popular spots in Abingdon. It has a lot of character and some wear due to its age. I would definitely stay here again.

Enjoyed our stay!

We traveled to the area for a race on the Virginia Creeper Trail. We brought with us our two children, our parents and our well behaved Australian Shepherd. It was a great space with plenty of room for all of us to fit comfortably. The large yard was a godsend for our children and shepherd's entertainment. The Goodpasture family was very hospitable and accomodated our frequent traffic in and out for the race. We will certainly consider staying again if in the area. We live in an older farmhouse ourselves so we greatly appreciated the history, functionality and charm of all it's unique characteristics.

Location was great, owners were friendly, but the house has major problems

The major draw for this property is its location. It is literally at the entrance of the VA Creeper Trail, and a short walk to a lovely, historic downtown. Frank was an attentive and friendly host. He checked in on us a couple of times, and brought us an outdoor garbage can when we requested one. Unfortunately, the house had some major problems that couldn't be quickly fixed or addressed. In the VRBO description, the house is described as modest, but that it had all you would need for a fun vacation. There were several things this house did not have that caused frustration and discomfort, the most important being an adequate supply of water. I have lived in an old house before, and I am aware of the headaches of maintaining a property with old plumbing, but I think it is inappropriate to advertise a home to families when there is inadequate water supply. Basically, our family of six found that we could either take a shower, run the dishwasher, or wash clothes at one time, but if we tried to do two things at once the water would run dry. The overall maintenance of the house needs to be addressed.: A door came off its hinges while opening it., the paint on the back porch was peeling off, and the railings for the back porch would not adequately protect younger guests from falling. The cabinet drawers in the kitchen were very difficult to open. The house is musty. This place could be an amazing destination with some investments, but as it is now, in my opinion, it is not worth the money they are asking per night.

Gorgeous property, beautiful historic home, yet to say centrally located is an understatement. I literally didn’t use my car at all. The hosts were lovely and extremely responsive. Mouse quiet at night. The creeper trail is literally right there :-) I would definitely recommend.

Perfect size, perfect location

This guest cottage, on the property of a beautiful antebellum home, was perfect for my mother, sister, sister-in-law, and me. It's right across the street from the trailhead of the Virginia Creeper trail, and only 2 blocks from the main street in town. The kitchen was stocked well enough that we cooked several meals there, but we also availed ourselves of some of the nice restaurants in town. Loved it!

Rustic Charm

Brought a family of 8 to ride The Creeper and enjoy Abingdon. The property was just as described and the check-in/out was easy. Ample room to gather and play games when the weather turned against us and close to enough restaurants to keep us well fed without too much drive time. It was a total pleasure.

Older home that is full of character.

This home is just as pictured. I love the character of older homes and imagining, how it was lived in. One reviewer complained that it needed a full renovation. NO it doesn't. Perfectly charming! The grounds of the home were so peaceful.

Abingdon Rental

The Abingdon rental had a great location and Frank was very easy to communicate with. The property itself needs some TLC to justify the nightly rate that is being charged. It has a lot of potential but a bit of maintenance needs to be done. We loved the layout of the home and with the proper repairs this could be an absolutely lovely destination.

Abingdon Birthday Visit

We had a lovely stay. It was my friend’s birthday, and she wanted to do the trail. I had a little trouble finding the place and told my friends to look for Mont Calm. That tip helped them immensely. The house was a little dark so we spent time on the porch. The surroundings were beautiful. Thank you.
