Private mountainside chalet bordering Dolly Sods with beautiful panoramic view.

Highland Rest is a 2 BR, 2 BA home which features an open floor plan with hard wood flooring through out. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with custom cabinets, granite countertops and a large pantry area. The living room, kitchen, and dining areas draw your attention to beautiful views across the valley below. The interior is finished with antiques, and collectibles from around the world.

Highland Rest lies within Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge was the 500th National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) to be established in the United States. The refuge preserves a moist valley with unique wetlands and uplands at a relatively high elevation in the Allegheny Mountains.

The property is 3800 above sea level (9.98 acres) and borders Dolly Sods Wilderness high on the mountain above (17,371 acres). Dolly Sods Wilderness contains bog and heath eco-types, more commonly typical to southern Canada. Elevations range from 2,500 to over 4,700 feet.

Note guests have access to fishing at (2) lakes within the Old Timberline community <5min from the cabin - no fishing license required within the community.

Enjoyable Getaway
Cabin is private with a great view! Owner was great to work with. Amaizing decor inside! Plenty of interesting items host had collected from his world travels. Also, some great creature comforts: amazing hot tub, quality memory foam King size beds, and entertainment area with an awesome surround sound system. Would highly recommend!

Lovely winter stay!
Brought a German friend to Canaan and we loved the house. Perfect home base with beautiful scenery. Great home base for lots of winter hiking in the area (we went to black water falls and Seneca rocks on way back). We enjoyed the foozball table in particular :)

Great spot on Timberline Mountain!
We stayed for 3 nights over Christmas. The cabin was very well stocked and we probbaly would have been fine not bringing as much as we did! Everything I needed to cook with was available, the decor reminded me of traveling during my childhood, and we loved the property location. This was our first time in this part of WV, and we will definitely be back!

What a great house!
We’ve visited the Davis/Thomas area for some spring break mountain biking. It was a great trip and our stay was a big reason. The house is extremely clean, comfortable, and very cozy, which we appreciated during the rainy/snowy weather. The kitchen was extremely well appointed. We got a lot of use out of the hot tub! Jim was very responsive with any question we had; his house is definitely on our short list for our next trip to Tucker County!

Best Getaway Spot in West Virginia
Staying at this VRBO in West Virginia was an absolute dream! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the incredible amenities and the attention to detail in every corner. The house was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need, making us feel right at home. The hospitality provided by the host was truly over the top - they went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect in every way. The location was ideal, offering both peace and quiet along with convenient access to nearby attractions. We felt safe and secure throughout our entire stay, allowing us to truly relax and unwind. I can't recommend this VRBO enough - if you're looking for an unforgettable getaway with exceptional hospitality, look no further!
