Food/ Water Bowl XL Kennel for when you leave the pup at the home unattended. NO CATS. Our daughter is extremely allergic to cats, so please respect our rule for absolutely no cats allowed. NO SMOKING in or around the home. Please respect our visitors with breathing issues. This includes vaping. PLEASE NOTE: We have one security camera on the front of the property and one that faces the river on the back of the property. The front one is an outdoor flood light camera and does not hear inside the house... just captures the driveway and helps us with the weather situation when we aren't there. The one of the back of the house is facing the river and not the deck space. This one is for us to know the level of the river, which is important for us to know. Questions we will ask in order to approve a dog: Once approved, I’ll send an invoice for the pet fee of $150 for each dog (limit 2). 1) How many dogs? If there are two dogs, do they both live in the same home? We do not allow dogs from two different families to stay at the house at the same time. 2) How old is the dog/ dogs? We do not allow puppies at all. No potty training or "just potty trained" dogs at all. This puppy phase is different with all dogs and some are well over a year before they have mastered this. If your dog has accidents in your house AT ALL, then we consider that NOT potty trained and unfortunately will not be able to approve them yet. 2) What size and what type of hair? We need to know this because if it's a Siberian Husky or other dogs with tons of hair, we have to bring in an extra cleaner that just vacuums and dusts everything because that hair ends up on every square inch of the house and if the next guests have dog allergies, we need to know ahead of time to prepare for them. 3) Is the dog indoors all of the time? (Meaning doesn't sleep outside at it's own home. ) Dogs that are used to being indoors would definitely act very different inside than dogs that were being treated to a completely new lifestyle. No getting on the furniture, chewing on furniture, marking the furniture, etc, etc. 4) We ask that any time you are gone, please do not leave the dog unattended to roam inside the house. We have a kennel that we provide (it's a large one) in the game room. Please always put the dog in the kennel when you leave. If you want to move the kennel inside the main part of the house, that's just fine.

This home absolutely made our stay in town. The owners have thought of everything a guest could need and the spacious interior allowed us to have plenty of space to relax and unwind. Absolutely spotless and tons of fun extras for the family to enjoy! Great kitchen and game room and the setting by the creek was beautiful. The owners provided wonderful communication and were thoughtful in every way- we can’t wait to return!! Thank you for your attention to every detail a guest could need!

Loved the covered back deck and being able to sit and listen to the river flowing by. We had everything we needed and more. Thank you for the lovely gift basket with all the goodies! And the beds were so very comfortable! And the best part was getting to spend time with my 3 sisters and brother in law who drove down from New York to meet me.

We stayed for 2 nights for Fall Break and to bike the Creeper Trail.
The home truly had everything from activities and games to a fully stocked kitchen. Kids and adults loved it. The scavenger hunts were huge crowd pleasers!
Highly recommend this house!!

Jen was AMAZING! I was going to ask about a place to order a cake, and she already got one and decorated the house for us! The house had everything we needed and things we forgot! I would 10/10 recommend!! Not to mention outside was a beautiful, peaceful retreat!

Best hostess ever. Period. If Jennifer doesn't teach a post-graduate course in hospitality at VRBO University, she should. Things that we've always found it necessary to bring with us to a rental, she had already provided. Coffee, sugar, even creamer - the very creamer we keep at home! Every kitchen utensil you could possibly need. Lots of fun games. Exceptionally comfortable seating in the living area. The outdoor seating also very comfortable and varied. And the mattress in the master bed - the real test of any accommodation - was great. In short, a fantastic place to stay and an even more fantastic property owner.

This was our 2nd time staying at Along for the Ride. Just like our first visit, Jen went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The house is stocked with everything from games to fishing gear. Between the location, equipped house, river in backyard and large back deck we think this house is perfect!

This was the most incredible property! Jennifer thought of everything! The indoor and outdoor spaces were both so wonderful, including something for everyone! For those that like nature, music, art, adventure! The scavenger hunts were the icing on the cake! The property led us to disconnect from our devices and reconnect with each other. And I’m talking 3 adults and 5 teens! We cannot wait to come back! Thank you Jennifer!

We enjoyed our time very much at your lovely home. You totally welcomed us and we felt as if it were our home from the minute we walked in. The location is superior!!!!
We did feel as if the front and back porches were dirty. Wished that they had been washed clean of all the dead bugs and cob webs!!

Owner of this property has thought of everything.. Our kids can't wait to go back to just stay in the house.. forget you are there for the trails...

Besides being ideally located, Jennifer is gone out of her way to stock this rental with games, a foosball table, art supplies, two kayaks, and the list goes on and on.
We spent most of our time on the back porch, listening to the lazy river 10 feet from the porch.

Brought my family to experience the experience the Virginia Creeper Bike Trail which they totally enjoyed. We had know idea how much of a Destination that the home itself is! My grandchildren fell instantly in love with all the games from dress up, air hockey, Xbox, too much to list here. The oldest granddaughter got us all engaged to the scavenger hunt, which was fun! My-son-in-law and 6 year old fished for the first time! The furniture and beds were super comfortable.
There's more than I can write here. The host have this home planned out for totally enjoyment to everyone. It's welcoming as soon as you walk in the door. Thanks for this!
My only regret is we didn't stay longer! We will next time!

We loved everything about this house on the Creeper Trail! Jen covered it all. From the moment you arrive you are greeted with a goodie basket, instructions for all the fun things provided, a game room, toys for kids of all ages, a beautiful view of the creek and more! The house was clean, in a great location, and has everything you can think of! We will definitely be back.

We were so pleased with the house. The small touches were a welcome surprise. The house and yard were absolutely beautiful. We will definitely book again next time we decide to ride the creeper trail.

VRBO makes it very user friendly.. Very straight forward and simple to follow..I have rented through VRBO many times and it keeps getting better.
5.0
We use VRBO 2-3 times a year and this is one of our favorites. The outdoor space was wonderful on the river. The front porch lets you watch the bike riders. The back porch lets you listen to the river. There is comfortable seating covered on the deck. There are awesome swinging chairs by the river and a nice propane firepit. We caught fish in the river behind the house and each day walked a different section of either the creeper trail or Appalachian Trail. The inside was great also. I slept like a baby on the comfortable mattress. The water was warm with good pressure for showers. The house was clean and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked with better pans and options than most. Highly recommend!

Jennifer’s home was great! It offers excellent space for families to spend time together and independently. The house was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and offered many very thoughtful activities and touches. The location is also perfect for hiking and biking (we come 1-2 times a year to ride the Creeper Trail). We loved coming in to games, movies, and s’mores after a day in the cold. We would absolutely stay here every time it is available!
Thank you for a great stay!

I can't say enough good things about Jennifer and her amazing home! I have rented a lot of vacation homes for my family, and this was, by far, the most hospitable. The home was better than advertised. It was in a fantastic location, clean, with something to do for everyone. We hiked, biked, played badminton, air hokey, foosball, cards, xbox, board games, sang karaoke, played guitar, sat by the fire pit, cooked, read and relaxed. Jennifer was thoughtful enough to leave a smores gift basket for our family and a stuffy and bones for our dog. We will, absolutely, rent this home again!

We had a great time at this house!! Great access to bike riding which is what we came for. But this house is awesome. It is fun. Lots of things to do in house, games, air hockey, video games, etc. Beds were comfortable and cozy. Host left treat basket and flowers. House was well equipped with bath and kitchen needs. Traveling with dogs, and house was perfect for them complete with doggie bed and kennel if needed. Highly recommend this home and host. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

This property is at an ideal location and full of fun activities for the family. Communication with the owner was outstanding and the attention to person details was over the top. This was a wonderful way to celebrate our son’s birthday riding on the Virginia Creeper Trail, hiking the AT, visiting Abingdon, and spending hours at the home with the thoughtful amenities and enjoying the river behind the house. We left wanting to stay longer. Thank you Jen!

This house was so thoughtfully equipped for vacationers. The kitchen had everything we wanted, including an electric kettle for tea. The river in the backyard is beautiful. It was a relaxing space to return to after biking. We had a truly delightful stay.
5.0
We have stayed at this house three times now, and each time has been great. Very clean, great communication with host, walking distance to bike shops and restaurants, and LOVE the river in the backyard and fire pit table!! The location is at the midpoint of the Virginia Creeper trail, so you can easily break up the trip and do each section of the trail on consecutive days if you don't want to do all 34 miles in one day. We will be staying again!

We love this property! The owner remembers every detail! We played badminton until dark each day, we sat by the fire pit each night, and we loved the upgrades to the game room! Our family had a blast doing the scavenger hunts. We will see you again next year!

My kids were so excited about all the amenities this house came with. From the guitar and keyboard, to the Xbox, Foosball, air hockey table…we even had a family volleyball game. We made S’mores at the fire pit and my husband and I enjoyed our coffee and tea each morning sitting by the creek. We definitely enjoyed our stay.

Convenient and relaxing
This home is everything they say it is. Clean, beautiful, convenient and a great view out back. There is so much to do just inside the home. The owners have really provided everything you will need plus some. They communicated promptly and were most helpful. Also, the beds were so comfortable. This is a must stay and I would stay here again without a second thought.

Cozy home
This home is on the river, in walking distance to restaurants and bike rentals. It also has a cozy spacious feel to it. My family if 5 had room to spread out, play games and enjoy the trails.
