Dancing Bear Vacation Rentals - Damascus, VA

The beautiful town of Damascus, VA is a very hospitable place. Whether you're a hiker passing through "the friendliest town on the Appalachian Trail" or a tourist who decided to visit after hearing about the area's natural beauty and wonderful recreational opportunities, you're sure to find plenty of friendly faces and a genuine warm welcome by all, residents and other visitors alike. There are so many fun and exciting things to do in and around Damascus that you'll probably want to stay for a while. In addition to hiking, biking and horseback riding on the Appalachian Trail and Virginia Creeper Trail, you can also enjoy a riverside picnic at Backbone Rock (after walking across it of course), go trout fishing in the cool, clear waters of Laurel Creek, enjoy the amazing view from the summit of nearby Whitetop Mountain, or participate in one of the many other outdoor activities that the Damascus area is famous for. When it comes to lodging in Damascus, you basically have two choices - both of them great: Camping out under the beautiful southwestern Virginia night sky or getting a room at one of the town's charming bed & breakfasts. Today's picture features Dancing Bear Vacation Rentals, one of the most popular places to spend the night along the entire 2,160 mile length of the Appalachian Trail. Dancing Bear is located in the heart of downtown Damascus, just a short, refreshing walk from several quaint shops, eateries, bike rentals/shuttles, outfitters, and of course the world-famous trails. You'll find Dancing Bear Vacation Rentals at 203 East Laurel Avenue in Damascus and on the World Wide Web at dancingbearrentals.com.   Picture Of The Day Homepage | Submit a photo Interesting Articles
