  • Barter Theatre, located in Abingdon, Virginia, opened on June 10, 1933, when the country was in the middle of the Great Depression. Most patrons were not able to pay the full ticket price. Robert Porterfield, founder of the theatre, offered admittance by letting the local people pay with food goods, hence the name "Barter". The original ticket price for a play was 40 cents, or the equivalent in goods. In 1946, Barter Theatre was designated the State Theatre of Virginia. Today, Barter is one of the last year-round professional resident repertory theatres remaining in the United States. -Wikipedia

Great family visit!

This home was perfectly appointed and well-located. The host has personal touches throughout -shabby chic decor and we felt immersed into this quaint little town.

Family visit

We absolutely loved staying at this lovely cottage! Sitting on the front porch rockers in the evening watching the lightning bugs was so peaceful. The yard and house were perfect for a weekend away and the location could not have been better! It was walking distance to restaurants, shops and the Creeper Trail. We would definitely book to stay again on our next trip!

Perfect spot for a girl's weekend. We enjoyed both the creek out back and the covered porch out front. This tidy home is comfortable and well equipped. A Mama duck and her ducklings came from across the street and jumped in the creek behind the house which was a sweet sight.

We love Abingdon and The Olde Springhouse cottage is the perfect location to enjoy it! It’s a short walk/bike ride to the Virginia Creeper Trail, to the historic part of town, and to many wonderful restaurants. This charming cottage has a well equipped kitchen and a wonderful porch for drinking coffee in the morning and watching the ducks cross the street. Host was wonderful and always follows up quickly. We’ll be back!

This cottage was so thoughtfully equipped with special touches to make our stay very comfortable. The location was perfect, near to everything, the home was bright and clean, with a generous amount of towels and comfortable beds. We even had a place to bring our bikes inside and charge my electric bike. We didn't expect the lovely yard and we enjoyed the rockers on the front porch, watching the busy world go by.
