    A Disappointment. We've stayed at many bed & breakfasts and…read morethis was the first time we were disappointed with our choice. The pictures on the website were obviously old, probably when they first opened. When we noticed the For-Sale sign at the entrance I started to have my doubts. Apparently, the owners turned their home into the B&B about 15 years ago and may have made some alterations at that time but it can use some current upgrading. Our shower was smaller than an old phone booth and would not be comfortable for anyone bigger than an average teenager. There were rules for using the tub and shower I guess due to plumbing issues and when I went to plug in my phone charger by our bed there was an extension cord with other things plugged in and the lamp flickered. The owners/ innkeepers were too involved in conversations and at times somewhat rude and condescending. Our first morning breakfast with no other guests at the table was good but when I asked for decaf coffee I was looked at as if I was some-kind of an alien and told how people who drink decaf never finish their coffee and don't understand why they drink decaf. Well I have a serious allergy to caffeine but I guess that was irrelevant. Our second day breakfast was also good and thankfully there were other guests which limited the innkeeper's involvement in conversation. It was also the first time we were not given a room key which was strange. The positives are that it was a convenient location close to town and the grounds were nice with a nice porch and yard. Bottom line after reading some of the previous reviews I should have paid more attention to the bad reviews. This is not a place we would return.

    From the owner: White Birches Inn is the only bed & breakfast in Abingdon, VA that can offer you a king-size bed,…read morein-room fireplace, oversized whirlpool tub, and a private walk-in tiled shower. Our boutique inn, which is a Virginia Green Lodging inn, offers personalized service and luxurious accommodations and creates a wonderfully inviting alternative to typical hotel lodging. Though most of the furnishings are English or American antiques, there is a compelling mix of periods. Many of the pieces are museum-worthy: An Eighteenth-Century Norwegian upholstered chair and a Nineteenth Century Biedermeier secretary share space with Picasso lithographs and Russian Iconistry. The collection spans centuries and countries of origin yet reflects a consistent refined aesthetic.

    So, we arrive after 9pm and Barbara meets us as if it were a mid afternoon check in! Happy to see…read moreus , full tour of the facilities, helpful tips...you get it - the quintessential perfect host!! The room is ridiculously clean, modern and cozy. The train was a non-issue. Short (5 mins) walk to this charming town's unique biz district full of local artisans and friendly merchants. Been all over the world, Creepers End & the town of Abingdon are small town USA at her best! Highly recommend Creepers End & will be back next fall!

    Called to make your reservation? I wouldn't count on it…read more In planning our trip to the Yeti race, Creeper's End Lodging was recommended to us as a place to stay in/near Damascus. The website has wonderful pictures of cottages and looks super inviting. I'm sure the hosts are great, but their reservation system sucks. Their website does not contain an online reservation form--only a standard contact us form and phone number. So not trusting online forms, I called to make my reservation. I spoke a very lovely woman for nearly 30 minutes who took down my name, phone number and email (which she had from the voice message I'd previously left) told me all about the property and about the town, helped me select a rooms for our group, and even promised to send me more information about the property and the town via email later on. She explained that the rooms were reserved for us and was looking forward to welcoming us "all the way from Chicago" in September. That was in January. Now, it's September and there's absolutely no record of our reservation. Lost. Gone. Ghosted. Apparently, phoned-in reservations don't count because when I inquired about our lost reservation citing this 30 minute phone call we had back in January, she responded with the following: "We get so many phone inquiries that we use the online contact form as a back up so we do not overbook. When those aren't filled out we assume that they have found another place or that their plans have changed. After the form is filled out we send a confirmation and we try to touch base closer to time. I am so sorry that we do not have your reservation." Uh. Wait, what? I was suppose to go back online and fill out a form AFTER I talked to a human to make my reservation? Oh, boy...
