Summary: The house with the fenced yard was excellent for our needs with 2 dogs and 5 people. Only issue was there wasn't much info provided about things like where to put the trash, setting up the tv, or any checkout instructions. But the property was really nice.

Summary: 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!

Summary: Well... it's just the truth in 2025. While this cottage is beautiful, and a peaceful respite in a town that has recently experienced the ravages of Hurricane Helene... be forewarned... you will find yourself surrounded by the MAGA faithful at this location. Expect the oversized flags... pit bulls... run down properties... and plenty of divisive pronouncements from the bumpers of pickup trucks. With that said... I never felt threatened by it... and openly walked through all of it, into town and to the grocery with no problems. If you are someone who feels threatened by this sort of political divisiveness or simply finds it difficult to tolerate, you may want to look elsewhere. If you are not this type of person... then you will be in for a real treat, because the cottage itself is well appointed and delightful!Would I book this cottage again? Yes I would.
