The Olde Springhouse - Downtown, Abingdon

The Olde Springhouse is our cozy cottage just 1 block off Main str and a few more from the Virginia Creeper Trail-Head. The Trail is open 17 from Abingdon to Damascus! This gem is at the epicenter of shops, restaurants and nightlife! Enjoy all our town offers within walking distance- The Barter Theatre, The Creeper Trail, The Tavern, Jack's 128 Pecan, Foresta, Summers Rooftop/Cellar, Rain, The Girl & The Raven, SweetBay Brewery, and much, much more- and it was literally built over a spring! The space We are still very Covid cleaning conscious. Additionally, several of the restaurants within a couple blocks walk have outdoor dining/seating and the Creeper trailhead is 3 blocks away. There is a mudroom with a bike rack for 5 bikes, and even a full sized mtn bike on-site for your convenience. You can mitigate any Covid risks if you should choose to by enjoying great food, good drink, and exercise outdoors and steps away from the cottage. Across the street from The Old Springhouse is a public park with lots of fun things for the kids and adults alike- including a covered picnic area and barbeque grill. The cottage also sits on Towne Creek with its famous resident Mallards! Be careful though, as the creek runs thru town and is prone to have glass or debris in it. Wear shoes if wading! There is a private driveway at the cottage but if you have more than one car, feel free to park across the street at the park. Legend has it the park was home to the main town spring from which everyone got their drinking water. Guest access Entire home and property including creek- enjoy but wear shoes if wading in creek to be safe. Other things to note There is a firehouse across the street but the responders are VERY sympathetic to local residents and don't turn on their sirens until they are past the house and get on main street. Also, Abingdon has a train track running the length of town- any house in town is “close”. Several trains run during the course of the day, FYI.
