Our overall stay was amazing! The kids had so much fun playing with the barn kitties and playing with and feeding Morgan! We had such a great weekend and we will definitely be back again! Such a beautiful place to stay with an amazing scenery!
Cute cabin and even cuter animals! Great for us (2 adults and 1 child). Comfortable stay. Downstairs bedroom was cold but extra blankets were provided. Note that the shower is very narrow. We loved how friendly the cats are!
My family had a delightful two-night stay at horse camp. The property is cozy, the hosts were very responsive, the scenery is breathtaking, and the horses and barn cats are extremely friendly. The stay was a dream for my animal-loving tweens. We also enjoyed horseback riding at Yokums and a river float at Big Bend, but we would have been just as happy hanging around the barn all weekend.
This propery is amazing and truly one of a kind! We loved how secluded and quiet it was. The beds were comfortable, the barn was clean, and the animals that were in very close proximity were very friendly. Dont expect to have an service, but take in the beautiful scenery instead. They provided us everything we needed and more! I would high recommend staying here
We loved our stay. We were greeted with a sweet treat from the property manager for my son's birthday. That was a nice touch. Along with the fresh tomatoes they left for us as well. We hiked, fished, rode horses, and had a wonderful time overall. Thank you for sharing your property with our family!
The horsecamp is a serene stay. The view of the rolling hills is mesmerizing and the animals (horse and two cats) are friendly companions that our children enjoyed playing with. At night you have a full view of a beautiful starry sky (that you can see while in the hot tub) with an equally splendid display by the fireflies on the ground. The hosts are friendly and top notch (even when we had to deal with an issue outside of their control). We were gifted some fresh produce that was excellent the house is well stocked with all you need. We would at any of their properties again!
Communication was excellent, and even though there was snow, the Host ensured we could arrive safely. Would highly recommend to anyone else looking for a nice little getaway!
Unfortunately, my stay was cut short due to inclement weather; however, the home was warm and inviting. The host was very informative and flexible throughout my stay. The property was clean, the scenery was beautiful, and I especially enjoyed the presence of the sweet cats and friendly horse. I would highly recommend this stay—10/10.
Amazing beautiful spot. Definitely would love to come back FromThe pond to the views to the horse the cats. The hot tub n the scenery. Jus amazingThank you for a great stay
Absolutely love this place, barn kitties can by annoying at times but they live there we dont. The horse is super friendly and loves attention. We loved the area and the awesome scenery for Senior pictures for our son. It is truly a unique stay for sure.
It is a privilege to be able to stay at such an amazing property like this. We are thankful to the host for sharing this piece of heaven with the public. Morgan, Emery, & Chessie really add a nice touch as well!

First I want to say how beautiful this place is. I loved reading about the history and going back to the basics. My husband and I along with our 4 year old came here for a unique stay for both their birthdays. We come to Canaan at least once a year so we are use to the weather change. However this year was rough! We had a 4-wheel drive but with this storm it didn’t matter what you drove. We almost got stuck halfway up the drive but pushed through. Unfortunately the hot tub was completely blocked from being able to be used. There was no path to get into the house so we were trying to carry 3 suitcases through the mountain of snow. I had a few places in mind, but this was unique and had the hot tub so I went with this place. Not being able to use the hot tub was a pretty big downside because of the price to stay. The owners have in the handbook that they have some kitchen items for us to use because getting groceries takes a trip. Unfortunately they were very old. Some dated back to 2017 expiration. There was quiet alot in there that needs to be gone through and trashed. There was also cups in the strainer and a hairbrush laying beside the bed, so I’m not sure how thorough the cleaning is between stays. I also realize this is a barn so there will be the usual smells, but the smell of cat urine was extremely strong throughout the house, worse in the bedroom and living room. We probably won’t come back to this location. Not being able to use the hot tub and smell is the rating.
Never stayed in a place quite as serene, tranquil, isolated, and relaxing. Two teenagers in tow with us interacted with the horse and the cats and just unwound with my wife and me after hiking all around. Perfectly situated for Blackwater State Park and Seneca Rocks.
Owners were easy to follow with instructions and expectations. Not over the top like some rental places. Also, the rental was direct through Expedia, so no hidden fees from some third party or even fourth party like we have seen with some other properties as we did our road trip this summer.
Already planning to come back.
This was the last stop on our summer road trip and was the very best.
It is amazing that this beautiful piece of private property can be visited and enjoyed. The cabin is outstanding. Morgan, Chrissy, and Emery really add a nice touch.
Wow this stay was great, the property is beautiful and peaceful, house came with everything and it felt like home!
Unique stay! Those sunsets around the mountains are amazing!
This rental is quite a surprise. Great atmosphere country setting but yet close to all the action of Cannan Valley Resort. Animal lovers will love the pets that you can feed(horse and cats). Very quaint. Great place to unwind.
We had a wonderful stay. The property was clean and tidy. So many personal thoughtful gestures. Everything you need is provided by the property owners. Our dog Bandit made a new friend Maddie. We took carrots and apples to feed her. She was great. The best part was the night sky and the views. They were breathtaking.
The owners were so nice and even left us a surprise. My wife loved the place. Didn’t want to leave. All the animals were a joy to interact with. My wife loved Chrissy the barn cat but was especially fond of the horse who loves Ginger cookies.. If you want a place all to yourself and not see any neighbors, if you want to see a sky like you’ve never seen before because there are no city lights…this is the place for you. Set outside in the evenings and enjoy the songs of the bull frogs in the pond and watch the Starlings dance around in the sky. We will definitely be back sooner than later.
This is quite a special place! While the inside is comfortable and has a ton of character, we found ourselves hanging out outside most of the time (thanks also to some beautiful weather). The surrounding farms/hills/mountains are so pretty and the property is beautifully maintained. We loved having the horses just outside - they were very sweet (and appreciated snacks from us ;).
Overall the house was well stocked with things you may need during the stay and the bed upstairs was comfortable. The internet was a little slow, but met our needs to help us plan our days.
The location was ideal for exploring Spruce Knob, Seneca Rocks, Blackwater Falls State Park, Davis, and Thomas. It was also an easy drive down to Yokum's (which has the basics) for some groceries we forgot to bring.
We would definitely love to stay here again! To the owners, thank you for sharing this place!
My partner and I decided to take a getaway trip to the Seneca Rocks area to celebrate my birthday. Upon arriving to the property, our jaws dropped at its marvel. We were warmly greeted by the horses and barn cats. Our dog was also eager to make new friends.
Everything was perfect. We were also so delighted to find a birthday cake and birthday card in the barn! Such a thoughtful touch by the hosts.
We had no issues at all, and the hosts were very communicative.
We had a wonderful hike to the top of Seneca Rocks, and despite the rain (Hurricane Ian) we made due with plenty of shopping and eating in the cozy towns of Davis and Thomas.
We look forward to making this an annual trip!
There are so many amazing things about this property that just made us feel like we were at “home”. This property was filled with us the essentials including snacks, plenty of towels, shower essentials (in case you forgot yours), even snacks for the pets on the property! Which brings me to the next best thing, the BEAUTIFUL animals! There were 2 gorgeous and super friendly horses and 2 cats! They were the highlight of our trip 100%! The hot tub was the perfect way to unwind in the evening and watch the stars. The beds were comfortable, the place was very clean and just overall so cozy and homey. There are a lot of great restaurants around, horseback riding at Yokums stables which takes you up to Seneca Rocks for a breathe taking view, touring smoke hole caverns, and so much more! We will definitely be back again to stay here. I can’t say enough about this place and the hospitality that was provided. Truly left a mark on our hearts!
Our 10 year old grandson wanted to go hiking in West Virginia, and we were thrilled to find this barn rental. What a perfect fit for us! Our grandson loved playing with the friendly barn kitties and feeding cookies to the horse. Each evening, we enjoyed sitting in the hot tub and the gorgeous views that seem to go on for miles. Our stay was peaceful, remote, beautiful and relaxing. The home is unique and historic, sitting on 65 acres. It was centrally located to all the hikes we wanted to do. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the home was ideal for preparing all of our meals including an outdoor grill, on site condiments/spices and a fully equipped kitchen and refrig. We do recommend bringing all of your food and drink as shopping is not exactly right around the corner. Laundry facilities were a big bonus. The owners were extremely responsive throughout the whole process. In fact, when we needed some non-allergenic laundry detergent, Merry Jo ran some over personally within 15 minutes! We would highly recommend a stay at the barn and working with these owners. We can't thank them enough for a wonderful visit!
My now husband James and I live in West Virginia. So when we found the Horse camp we were so happy to know we could still enjoy the beautiful countryside we have grown to love so much. Then knowing there were horses on the property made it all the better for we love animals and it has always been a dream of James’ to have a horse ranch of his own. So he was in a sense able to live his dream for a few days.
We were even greeted by the barn cats (Crissy and Thomas I believe). Which was wonderful because we have kittys at home. It was dark when we got there but the light was left on for us and tv was on which made it feel like home. There were fresh tomatoes on the counter and a basket with supplies for s’mores. And what got me emotional is the bottle of champagne, chocolate covered strawberries, and the little sign with our names on it as newlyweds. Such a sweet gesture.
We woke up every morning to a beautiful view, sat on the porch at night looking at the stars, and fell asleep to the cricket’s singing. Was only able to get in the hot tub for a little because of the wind and it was calling for rain but was still able to enjoy it.
This is definitely a place I’m recommending to family and friends. It’s a home away from home. Close to fun activities but still have the peaceful relaxing getaway that was much needed.
The property manager was amazing as well. Always there to answer any questions we had even when we got lost and the gps took us to the property owners house. They were sweet as well. James even made the comment once getting directions from them how nice they were. Not knowing I was on the phone getting directions as well. Lol. I’d give 10 even 20 stars if I could!
Thank you again for
The wonderful experience!
