Photos and Description of the Canaan Valley vacation cabin rental
3 Beds/2 Baths, 1 Sleep Sofa, Sleeps 8, Private, Close to slopes

Great Skiing Season, Available Mid February

A serene, intimate, and beautifully furnished cabin in gated Old Timberline adjacent to its conservancy is nestled in Cannan Valley, WV. The secluded cabin, perfect for a honeymoon couple or those seeking refuge from the frantic pace of urban life is cool in the summer and has ample powder in the winter. Situated on five acres of wooded and open meadow lands with its own pond, the cabin has gorgeous sunset views over Spruce Island Lake and long views of the valley and the adjacent Cabin Mountain. Six miles of private trails at your doorstep, a short walk to Timberline Four Season slopes, ten minutes to Whitegrass Cross Country Center, or Cannan Valley Ski and Golf Resort. The cabin has been recently renovated, inside and out.

Golf: The 18 hole championship course of The Canaan Valley Resort Park is ten minutes away. Frequent golf events are scheduled and open to the public. The course is set in the gentle rolling hills of Canaan Valley rimmed with mountains.

Ski: Canaan Valley is the most northern of the West Virginia ski resorts with three separate establishments - Canaan Valley Resort State Park, Timberline, and Whitegrass Cross County Ski Center. The Valley has been having record snowfalls. It will be a great winter.

About Maria Thacker

We love getting away to the outdoors in any season. This truly is our 'touchstone'.

Maria Thacker purchased this cabin in 2002
Why Maria Thacker chose Canaan Valley

Touchstone is the best of both worlds. It is private and secluded yet close to 'civilization' for supplies and emergencies.

What makes this cabin unique

Timberline ski slopes are two minutes away, the lake is just beyond the front yard and the Timberline walking trail goes by our house.

Because of all the windows, you feel part of nature, no matter the season. We love seeing all the wildlife walking to and from the lake.

This is a great place to vacation with grandchildren. Surrounded by fields, woods, pond and lake. Very private, but convenient. Deer came right up to the back deck. Hot tub was great and one can use all the facilities at the lodge (pool etc). Very comfortable.

What a beautiful setting! Now that I'm back in the 'burbs, my eyes are longing for those expansive vistas! Thanks to the owners & Timberline Realty for attentive service. House is beautiful, clean and cozy. Hiked Dolly Sods, Black Water Falls, and Lindy Point (not to be missed!) We'll definitely come again!

Included with our recent stay was plenty of snow, wildlife, peace and tranquility. This is a very clean rental with awesome views. The hot tub was exceptionally clean and warm. Thank you for opening up your house for us to experience. Would definitely consider renting again!

Thanks again!

A beautiful house in a beautiful setting. The house is clean, nicely maintained, and well-furnished with a wonderful wood-burning stove. The abundance of windows allows for great views from within the warmth of the house. The owner is very attentive and even called the evening we arrived to make sure everything was okay. The house is a short drive to Timberline ski resort (longer than a short walk, but the drive is quick). Other winter activities are also close by. We really enjoyed the horse-drawn sleigh ride at Timberline Stables. My family and I had a great trip and would love to go back!

The location of the house is excellent, very private and yet close to the lake and a short walk or drive to the ski slopes. We had wonderful time and will be glad to go back again. The owner was vary attentive and accommodating. We saw plenty of wildlife from the deck.

Wonderful getting to spend the holidays at Canaan. I took a daily
walk around the lake before settling in with a good book before the fire.
Completely let down and relaxed. The snow was beautiful particularly on the
long walks up in the Fish and Wildlife wilderness areas. The world seemed so at
peace.

We loved our short or "mini" vacation here in your home (We come every year.)
We were surprised by the snow before Halloween.
It is a special time being with family and relaxing and enjoying the mountains.

We enjoyed a fun yet relaxing week in your lovely home. For several summers
we have rented homes for our vacation. This has been a favorite.
We spent our days picking blueberries on Dolly Sods, swimming, and using
the playground at Canaan St. Park. We visited Blackwater Falls and rode
ponies at Mountain Trail Rides. We had a daily friendly competition spotting
and counting deer.
We played games, read, and truly relaxed and spent time together as a fmily.
Thank you for sharing your home with our family.
