Yay!!! Read on!!

We are pleased to announce the Virginia Creeper Trail is NOW OPEN, from the Start to the Heart, Abingdon to Damascus.

Let’s reverse the ride! Bike outfitters are providing shuttle services for the Abingdon to Damascus section while the assessment and restoration of the upper trail continues. The Virginia Creeper Trail remains closed under US Forest Service from Whitetop Station to Damascus; there is no access to the Virginia Creeper Trail past Damascus at this time.

Bike through the valleys and rolling hills along the South Fork of the Holston River. The trail between Abingdon and Damascus is a gentle downhill grade suitable for beginners and families. Virginia's finest rail-trail, the Virginia Creeper National Recreation Trail, occupies the bed of what was once a rugged mountain railroad connecting the two towns. At its lowest elevation, the trail crosses South Holston Lake on a huge curving trestle.

Parking is available at the Abingdon trailhead, Watauga, Alvarado Station, and the Damascus Town Park. Please avoid using any of the blocked off street parking in downtown Damascus temporarily while recovery efforts are ongoing. Bathrooms are available across from Trestle 1 at the Abingdon trailhead, Alvarado Station, and in Damascus near the caboose.

For over 100 years the Virginia Creeper has been a vital connection between our communities. We are open for business and our trail communities need your continued support. Find lodging, restaurants, and shopping in both Abingdon and Damascus.

We are resilient.
We are rebuilding.
We are OPEN.

The Town of Abingdon and The Town of Damascus welcome you to Southwest Virginia!

For public safety, the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area is temporarily closed by Forest Order. Conditions are unsafe in many areas.

The Closure includes the 18 miles of the Virginia Creeper Trail managed by the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area, from the North Carolina Stateline to Drowning Ford Road (36.650954, -81.838279).

Of the 31 trestles managed by the Forest Service, our staff identified 10 trestles that have washed away, 2 have been severely damaged and there are substantial washouts and scour across the entire trail.

Our initial response to the storm damage has focused on the public safety and evacuation. As surveying continues, we expect to identify additional substantial damage to the trail, trestles, and trail heads.

The Virginia Creeper Trail is an essential part of Southwest Virginia’s identity and livelihood. The restoration of the trail is a high priority, and we will work closely with the community moving forward.

This is the 'Why' of why I love hosting so much! I continually strive to have my property be . I want you-my guests-to have a 5* experience Every Time you stay!
This review...a 6 * stay!!! Happy Dance!!

From Steve & Peggy's review:
Our stay at the Nest in Abingdon could not have been better. Janice aspires to provide a 5 star stay for her guests from booking to departure and it’s evident in every detail. We had high expectations of the Nest based on the description and photos, but even those couldn’t portray the quality, comfort and creativity of the decor and design. Every corner of the living area from the dining table to the work desk to the lounging furniture to the sleeping area reflected professional touches and colonial Virginia charm.
It’s not everywhere fresh cut flowers are on the table with a welcoming bottle of wine. The bathroom facilities are a cut above with the huge shower and oversized jetted tub.
The kitchenette is appointed with everything you could possibly need and way more. After biking the Virginia Creeper Trail, hiking in Grayson Highlands State Park, taking in the Farmers Market, and having dinner at the Martha Washington Inn, the Nest was perfect!
Thanks Janice- 6 star stay!!

Private note from Steven
Hey Janice! Just finished writing the review of our stay at the Nest and I hope we were able to convey with words just how much we enjoyed our visit and your fabulous Air BnB venue.
The Nest far exceeded our expectations (not that they weren’t high to start with) and your hospitality and attention to detail were off the charts. We had a great time hiking, biking, eating out and visiting with family. Abingdon is truly a special place and we’re not going to take it off our bucket list yet!
We hope to be back to visit again if you’ll have us. Peggy described the Nest as “fabulous” and “over the top”. Pretty high praise from her! Honestly, there’s not one thing we could think of to make it any better so don’t change anything you’re doing.
Your communications are all spot on and very helpful and just made us feel you were genuine in making this a stay unlike any other. The flowers, wine and the flashlight were over and above! Can’t thank you enough for a great weekend Janice!
