Amazing location!

We stayed here for a weekend in March with our kids (5 & 8) and had a blast. It's a great spot with lots of land to explore. We found some really cool waterfalls behind the house in the woods. The snow season was over so we missed XC skiing but we definitely will be back. Close to Blackwater Falls park and the town of Davis.

Best place in Canaan

We’ve come to Canaan Valley for years, and this is our favorite place to stay. The house is perfect, and the location can’t be beat— close to the Sods, right by Whitegrass, with trails right out the door. The house itself is snug and comfortable— the beds are great, the shower is hot, and the kitchen has everything you need. Great getaway!

Quiet, clean, comfortable Tucker County house

This is a great house to come home to after a long day of hiking! It’s clean and inviting and has everything you may need! Great location, quiet and secluded but close to Dolly Sods trailhead, bird sanctuary, and the adorable town of Davis!

Great weekend getaway

My family and I were in Canaan Valley for a NICA race. The race was located at Canaan resort property which is a very short drive from this home. This home was very clean, well maintained and very nicely decorated . Perfect for 4/5 people. We enjoyed the large deck every evening/morning and the walks we took down Weiss Knob Ski road were incredible.

Secluded woodland get away

This has been one of our top vacation rentals. Everything we needed was supplied indoors and the beds were very comfortable. The house was relaxing and the kitchen well stocked. The location is amazing and in the middle of the woods with trails leading right off the property. The nearby hike up to the panoramic views from Bald Knob was invigorating. Chip and Laurie were very responsive and gracious hosts!

This was truly a home away from home. Perfect for our baby and family. Close to lots of activities but far away enough to enjoy the quiet of nature and some solitude.
