    Default need pet friendly lodging in Damascus VA 7/23+

    My wife, my miniature poodle, and I need a place to stay in Damascus, VA, starting Wednesday (7/23) for a few days. We would prefer not to stay in a hostel. We'd like to stay close to downtown. The places I've contacted so far either don't answer the phone/email or are booked. Does anyone have any good ideas?

    Crazy Larry's, right on the trail. You can contact him through here; his White Blaze name is TOW. You'll love him (we all do).

    +1 for Crazy Larry's. This is actually his home and you get a real bed with pillow and sheets. Once you meet Larry, you've got a friend for life.

    Woodchucks is great! Tucked away, off the main drag, worth a phone call......

    Both these places are good....Larry wouldn't think twice about recommending Woodchuck's too. For the record, Larry's place also has real beds, real linens, laundry, free breakfast, and a first-rate shower! (and it's his home)
