Beautiful place to stay
This trip was absolutely amazing. Not only was the house so inviting but so was the owners. They were so helpful with any questions that you may have. The house was great with tons of space and a great location. We were not far from town and from the creeper trail. The house is surrounded by many farms which having children was a great highlight. I would recommend anyone who would love to get away for beautiful scenery and a wonderful house to stay

Cabin
We had a wonderful time in this home! The host are amazing, they communicated everything perfectly! They are very sweet people.
The only thing I would suggest would be to provide a few more basics for the future stays.
When we got there there was only one roll of toilet paper for two bathrooms.. there was only a quarter roll of paper towels in the kitchen and provided minimal basics for the kitchen. (I would suggest more pots and pans - some type of filtered water system- and also unexpired products in the kitchen)
Also there is one room that does not get heat so the room with the two twin beds was absolutely freezing!
Other than that we really enjoyed our stay!!

Farmland friendly
Loved the area for hiking and biking - good restaurants in Abington (and at least 1 in Damascus). We were at the house for breakfast and a couple of dinners - the house is not updated but in good shape for its age. What we needed for the meals we prepared were supplied - the kitchen is small but has lots of cabinet space and reasonable counter space. One of 2 full baths was really small and the other one had plenty of room (it doubled as a laundry room). Both baths are side by side and right by 2 bedrooms on that side of the house. Bathroom access from other 2 bedrooms required passing thru the dining room and kitchen. If you like watching TV the smart TV is really good! We tried out the fire pit one night and it was great - we took porch chairs and set them on a grassed, lightly sloped area around the fire pit. A neighbor evidently has firewood to sell but, being more spur of the moment planners, there had been some recent tree work done so there was a good bit of wood close by to gather. I would suggest arranging to have some firewood. If you visit in cold weather the 2 bedrooms near the bathroom get a good bit colder than the rest of the house but there are plenty of covers to stay warm. All in all a nice stay for 4.

Amazing!
This house is situated in a beautiful setting and has absolutely everything you need. It was very clean and spacious. We loved sitting out on the back deck any chance we could!
Both the house and property are very well maintained.
We came down here for a baseball tournament with an open-ended check out date. Of course it was dependent upon how we did in the tournament. Mr. & Mrs. Kaurish are the best communicators and hosts we have ever had the pleasure of booking with. They went above and beyond to work with us; all while making us feel welcome and cheering on our son! They accommodated us more than we could have ever expected.
If you’re looking for a charming home in a beautiful setting with fabulous hosts…. Look no further!

Horrible Experience
We had no power for the first 11 hours of our stay. Unable to shower or use the restroom. The owners came by and gave us oil lamps which gave all of us headaches from the fumes. The owners were completely unresponsive when asked about the WIFI password. We messaged and called them multiple times with no response. They said it was in the rental house, and when I asked them what the password was she said the paper that it was on was stolen and she would come by the next morning and post it on the front door but she never did. The listing said they had firewood available, but upon arrival there was none, which is false advertising. Overall, there was no compensation provided for our stay and there was no communication by the host. Terrible experience!
