Autumn weekend in the Canaan valley

This was a great place to stay—we loved it. Location was perfect—close to a number of great hikes and experiences. The space was charming. It had everything we needed and was incredibly clean. We would stay here again. Clear instructions from the hosts, easy parking; and easy with a young kid.

Great Vacation

We went to get away from it all. It was quiet, comfortable and had everything you could want. We were lucky to have gorgeous weather for the entire week. We did some day trips, sightseeing type things, but always happy to come back to our little cabin in the woods.

Wonderful relaxing retreat

I loved staying here and it was the quiet, relaxing, and serene location that I needed to get away from the hustle and bustle. The kitchen was well stocked on cooking utensils and appliances so I could cook a few times while here. The closeness to all of the nature and hiking areas was one of the many perks. I couldnt recommend this place enough!!! Would rebook here in a heartbeat.

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.
