We came to Abingdon to ride the Creeper Trail, however it rained most of the trip. On the plus side, we had booked this adorable, well-appointed cabin! Lots of games, cozy indoor spaces and beautiful views. A true getaway with a very responsive host, you will be delighted.

Awesome location with great view.

There were seven of us staying at this cabin. The location was wonderful. The layout was great. The slide kept our little kids happy all day. The only small issues we had were the tub not draining in the washing machine not working. Again, small issues that didn’t affect our stay much at all. we would come back in a heartbeat.

We had a great time here. It’s close to Abingdon, Damascus, and the Creeper Trail. My wife went down and had a wonderful time kayaking on the water with her kayak. The kitchen had everything we needed and the Blackstone was a hit with the kids for multiple meals. Looking forward to returning!

Stargazer

Excellent overall. Power in the area went off, not the fault of the stargazer property. However, when power was restored, we were unable to locate the modem in order to restore Internet service. Not a major issue, but somewhat irritating. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay at stargazer, and would recommend it to others.

Perfect house for bike rides on the VA Creeper Trail

My husband and I and our six year old son enjoyed three nights at this beautiful lake view country home. The VA Creeper trail was just under a 15 minute drive to several of the trail parking lots. We also took a quick 35 minute drive to Bristol, TN to visit the Bristol caverns and to ride our bikes at Steele Creek State Park. We also drove to Hungry Mother State Park and did some awesome mountain biking around their lake. The views from the back porch are absolutely breathtaking. The house is very clean and has everything you could think of that you would need for a comfortable visit. Melissa, the owner, was easily accessible and gave us wonderful recommendations for our biking interests and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this gorgeous home. Highly recommend this home.

Wonderful Extended Weekend

This was our second stay at the Stargazer. We really enjoyed the access to the river, our dog loved it. When the sky cleared at night, the name Stargazer was appropriate. We could see thousands of stars and the Milky Way. We hope to return soon.

Adorable mountain lake house

We enjoyed our time at the Stargazer. It's an adorable, cozy A-frame. The location was beautiful, and the house was very clean. Our kids enjoyed the game room downstairs, and us adults enjoyed the deck.

Great Cabin!

We thoroughly enjoyed this cabin stay with our 5 grandsons. Plenty of sleeping room and a great basement for the kids to have their own space! The neighborhood was so peaceful and full of deer that we were able to see daily. We enjoyed riding the Virginia Creeper trail not a far drive from the cabin for renting bikes and the riding adventure. I’m sure our grandsons will choose to stay here again in a heartbeat! will

Beautiful property!

What a gem! We thoroughly enjoyed sitting out on the deck, watching the deer and scenery. It’s a peaceful retreat in a quiet neighborhood that’s still so close to many activities and restaurants. I felt like I was staying at a friend’s home with the wide assortment of games, comfortable beds and other thoughtful touches.

Great spot on SoHo

It’s hard to put into words just how satisfied we were with the property. let me just start by saying my wife cried when it was time to leave. Our bed was very comfortable, and the deck was very inviting and offered beautiful vistas of the river as well as the surrounding mountains. We had other family rent the house down the hill and our kids really enjoyed running back-and-forth between the two. we brought our boat and took advantage of the boat launch in the subdivision, which was very nice. We are in a quieter part of the river so fishing was ideal and we found many good spots. The area is very family-friendly and the week we were there things were not very busy so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. I would definitely recommend and appreciate the hospitality.

Super Clean with great views

Very clean not even cobwebs on the high ceilings! Cozy but spacious. The stairs to the loft bedroom are so neat. Decorated very well. The large new deck has great views of Mtns/lake. We got to hear rain on the metal roof and see lightning bugs in the trees. Host was a fantastic communicator. There is a great list of things to do in the area on the fridge. 3 adults stayed comfortably with our own rooms and there is 2 living rooms. Definitely 5 stars worthy!!

Wonderful stay

We loved our stay! It was very close to the Watauga trailhead which was a perfect ride for our kids (5, 7, 10) to Abingdon one day and Alvarado Station another. We all enjoyed the available games and the views were amazing! Kids loved the slide. House was clean, well appointed. Melissa responded to our questions immediately and was so helpful in planning our trip! 10/10 recommend this place!

Wonderful Cabin and Views

We really enjoyed all the extra details put into this cabin. We wished we had a longer stay to use more of the amenities, such as the grill. The outside firepit was great! Wonderful views from the deck and the cabin is aptly named as the stars were numerous to look at. We enjoyed the nearby state parks and VA Creeper trail. There were many activities we still wished to try in the area and hope to be back!

Bike and fishing trip with friends

Stargazer was a great place for us to stay. The main reason for our visit was to bike the Virginia Creeper Trail. One of the trailheads was only 2.5 miles away (Watauga Rd). We were able to utilize this to bike between there and Damascus without hiring someone to shuttle us. (Several in our group felt this was as beautiful as the Whitetop to Damascus run because of the rolling hills and miles alongside the Middle and South Holston Rivers.) This was also a great location from which to go fly fishing in the nearby creeks and rivers. An entertaining part of the location was all of the "tame" deer that browse about the neighborhood. This would be a treat for anyone who hasn't seen wildlife up close.

This house is located in a charming, safe neighborhood with an incredible view from its awesome deck. The house was very clean. The three bedrooms are located on 3 different levels. The kitchen is very small, but has the essentials for making meals. The refrigerator is also small. We were all adults, but noted that the house is very child friendly. There's a slide off the side deck, a swing, lots of games, and children books. We didn't use the firepit or the Blackstone, but they are available to visitors. There's also two interior comfortable sitting areas. Our group was in Abingdon to attend plays at Barter which was just a 15 minute drive. If I had a suggestion for the hostess/owner, it would be to provide some juice size glasses and some wine glasses. I hope this helps future visitors when they're looking for an Abingdon vacation rental. We greatly enjoyed our stay!
