Only disappointed that our stay was cut short by a pet emergency back home. But would definitely book again if visiting Staunton or the surrounding area. ##### John I. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Meredith T. Nov 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for a weekend away Small, charming, old house tastefully updated and decorated, located in a bucolic setting yet close to town. Much thought has been given to amenities and supplies needed by guests during their short stay; we lacked for nothing. It has its own parking space, a front porch with a swing for 2 and a back porch with seating for six or so, overlooking woods where deer were roaming. Good restaurants and a fantastic bakery are close by, in town. It was just perfect for a get-away! ##### Meredith T. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Christmas in Staunton We stayed for 3 weeks just after the birth of our new grandson in early December. The location was very convenient. I cooked many dinners for the new parents and found the kitchen to be well stocked with all the pots, pans and utensils I needed, which made it much easier. Annie and Matt were charming and eager to please. Annie and I communicated several times during our stay. The house was very comfortable and met all our needs. I'd certainly recommend this property for a long weekend or an extended stay like ours.Thanks Annie and Matt for making our stay a pleasure! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 23 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen S. Jun 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Summer stay at Sweet Darling House We thoroughly enjoyed Sweet Darling! We felt like it was a home away from home with anything we could ever need! There were even toiletries available in case we forgot any. We loved the patio out back and enjoyed the porch swing in the front. The area it was in felt secluded and safe, although close to downtown. There were board games that we could use, and the mattresses were comfortable. A TV was available with streaming apps that we could log in to. Upon check out, we could remove the log in info automatically. We would stay here again and recommend ##### Karen S. Stayed 30 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James S. Apr 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Sweet Darling was Great This little housse is like a very good cabin. 2 private bedrooms with one shared bath. Very tastefully decorated. It had everything we needed for a good stay. New appliances and heating system, back deck has wonderful private view of the woods. Very quiet and restful, yet right in the middle of Staunton. All amenities were minutes from the house. Very clean and had a very interesting history to the house. Yet great modern renovation. Would definitely visit again. The host even left wine for us celebrate our anniversary. Annie was very helpful and accomodating. ##### James S.
