This was our second time to stay at this beautiful vacation home. When I walked in the front door the house had a wonderful clean scent. Love the layout of the house. The mattress was so comfortable. Nice fluffy towels. Living area most inviting. My husband and I biked the Creeper Trail which was 1/2 mile away. Quiet neighborhood. At the end of the day we relaxed in the jacuzzi. Just perfect for our getaway. We definitely will return soon!

This was a return visit for us and once again did not disappoint! Property had all the amenities listed and every small detail included. Kitchen was stocked with a variety of coffee, tea and hot chocolate pods for the Keurig, basic spices and condiments. Cheery porch lights were a welcome touch when returning after dark. The hot tub and deck chairs/seating were a pleasant addition since our last visit. Hope to visit again in the future.

Our Second Time. Just as good as the first!

We loved our stay here! This is the second time we have stayed at this house, and we can’t wait to come back again. We’d love the area, and the house is easily located to get around to all of the local cities. The host is very responsive, and we love what they’ve done to the hot tub and pergola area. We can’t wait to come back!

Willow Tree Retreat❤️

What a Great week in Damascus, VA! The area is fantastic but our accommodations at the Willow Tree Retreat is what really made our trip special! We have been staying in VRBOs for almost 15 years and this little cabin is by far the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in! Had all the amenities needed to be very comfortable and our host Vicki was super accommodating and responsive to where it didn’t feel like we were in a rental but staying in a friend’s/family home! Would highly suggest this cabin if vacationing in the area!

Mini Getaway Under the Stars

This place was the perfect getaway for my husband and me to celebrate his 30th birthday. It was clean, smelled clean, everything was functioning as it should, we felt safe and secure, host communication was quick and kind. We have no complaints other than it’s a little difficult to decipher which is the correct driveway in the dark, but that is definitely not a dealbreaker by any means! The hot tub on the porch under the stars was definitely the cherry on top. Could not have asked for anything better at that price range. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay

A co-worker and I stayed here while attending a conference in Abingdon. It was comfortable and the side deck with the hot tub is AMAZING! It is well stocked even though we did not cook it had everything you could ever need. Emails were responded to quickly and I would stay here again.

Peaceful and relaxing cottage

We loved our stay at the Cottage at Willow Tree Retreat. Vicky and Christina were excellent hosts, excellent at communicating and provided everything we needed. The location of the property is perfect and close to the town center of Damascus. We enjoyed the firepit and all amenities on the property, you can even hear the river flow outside from the porch. We were very relaxed during our stay, we even met the very nice neighbors also. We cant wait to come back!

Cozy and comfortable

This was everything we were looking for! The cottage was open and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was stocked with all the items we needed, the furniture and bed were so comfortable. We found the peace and quiet we were seeking here; we couldnt have asked for more! Our host was gracious and very responsive to my questions before, during and after our trip. We will definitely be booking this again! We were not ready to leave, but back to reality was in the cards for us! Thank you for a wonderful, stress relieving and restful experience!

Beautiful, quiet, private, INCREDIBLE!

Modern and exceptionally clean, this little cabin is a perfect getaway. Private, surrounded by nature, it was exactly what I needed for a few days of perfect rest. Less than a mile from the Virginia Creeper trail, paved all the way there, it's a great base for local bike riding. Vickie was a great host, going above and beyond everything I needed. I almost hate to give it a great review, because I am coming back and hope it will be available. :-) Best to any who visit, it will be a relaxing pleasure.
