We rented looking for a snowy cabin weekend , which is exactly what we got. The location was perfect. Hot tub was awesome. The house itself was eclectically decorated. Can't wait to go again.
Wonderful cabin - very clean and decorated beautifully. Also one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on! Fully stocked with everything we needed and a gorgeous view as well. Nothing bad to say!
Make sure you have 4 wheel drive if you plan to stay during Winter! The drive up to the house with snow is legit! Excellent spot if you want a more private escape but to also be close to Timberline, White Grass and the towns of Davis and Thomas. House backed up to Dolly Sods Wilderness Area so would also be ideal for hiking in the warmer months.Plenty if cookware and the amenities were all as described and in working order.
My husband and I had a lovely stay at Jim's place. We had our two dogs with us as well. The views were stunning as we were there in late November and it was already snowing. The fireplace made our entire stay very cozy. The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed going on walks and runs and visited the town of Davis and had a great time at Stumptown Ales. We will definitely visit again!
Loved the large deck and hot tub for viewing the autumn leaves and relaxing after hiking in Dolly Sods! It was my favorite spot in this very comfortable home. Owner is super responsive.
Had a such a great time at Jim's chalet. Location is amazing and the property had fantastic touches all throughout and was so comfortable. We loved watching movies on the incredible entertainment system and the kitchen had everything needed to make great meals at home. Communication with Jim is outstanding. Would love to stay again!!
It was peaceful and quiet, just what we needed for a weekend away without the kids. The decor was unique and gave the place an authentic and cozy feel. Wish the leaves hadn’t fallen already during our stay but the view was beautiful regardless. I highly recommend traveling a little further out of town for groceries, the local supermarket was pretty sad.
We absolutely loved our stay. The cabin is so eclectic and we enjoyed looking at all the things from the owner’s travels. It was stocked with everything we needed to cook, including lots of spices. We so enjoyed the hot tub while it snowed. Truly magical! Owner was very responsive as well. We hope to be back someday.
Our experience with our stay was absolutely wonderful, The property is cery well maintained and to be honest the pictures are great but if you have a opportunity to see it in person it will blow you away!
There is a lot of treasures inside the home from the owners travels of the world and we both found it to be just incredible!
The mountain ciews are to die for and if you like to hike this is the place to be 👏
I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a beautiful get away with peace in quiet.
Great location! Really appreciated being able to walk into Dolly Sodds and close enough to other interest. House was comfortable and had everything we needed, including relaxing evenings. Will be looking to return.
This house was just as described online. It was private with an excellent view. The host was friendly and answered our messages within an hour or so. I will definitely rent from this gentleman again.
We had a great time staying here for a long weekend. We had never been to Canaan in the summer, and we will definitely return. This was our second time staying in this home, and it was fantastic as before. So many travel treasures to enjoy from Jim’s work trips. Home is so private yet close to amenities. All ages had fun!
This rental exceeded my expectations as it was well appointed with eclectic decorations from around the world, high-end cookware in a fully stocked kitchen, exceptionally comfortable beds, 4K TV and sound system, and breathtaking views. We visited over MLK weekend when a snow storm was expected. The driveway was plowed twice (AWD or 4WD vehicles are necessary); the teenagers loved the hot tub and it was convenient to everything we wanted to do. I loved Jim’s maximalist decorating style as there was many fascinating things at which to marvel. Overall, we have zero negative comments as again, this exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Jim!
We have been visiting Canaan Valley most of our adult lives. Sometimes we stay in Davis, but most of the time we stay in the Timberline community. Jim’s property is awesome! So peaceful and accommodating. Everything you need and then some! One of the best VRBOs. If you have never been to the area Jim provides tons of great, helpful information. Thanks Jim!
This home is secluded, a great place to spend vacation with family. We could see only one other house, and only at night if their porch light was on. The interior is nicely arranged with plenty of space to cook food. Hot tub adds something to enjoy while the weather is poor 🙂
