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.

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.

We had a good time at this cabin, and it is very close to the Timberline ski slopes. The kitchen and bathroom have new applicanes and fixtures, and the hot tub worked great! We even had deer walking through the back yard.

A couple of things to consider is this property does not have an address that can be mapped with mapquest or google maps, making it some what harder to find. The other is that the driveway slopes down, if you don't have chains or 4 wheel drive you may be stuck unable to get you car out of the driveway. If you don't have chains or 4 wheel drive don't go down the drive way, you can park at the entrace to the conservatory and walk to the cabin (about 3 blocks).
Owner's Response: Thank you for the comments for the property. This helps us create even greater holiday experiences. A note about the address, none of the properties beyond the gate in Old Timberline can be individually found through Map-quest. The alternative, is to use Timberline Four Season Ski Resort as the destination since we are practically next door.

When visiting the skiing high country of Canaan Valley, in January when heavy snows are predicted, it is advisable to check road conditions. The property in Old Timberline is on the valley floor, unlike most others which are on the side of the mountain. Even in this relatively flat terrain If snow is predicted, evasive actions should be considered.

My family enjoyed skiing, hiking and relaxing in the hot tub at this secluded cabin on the lake. The wood burning stove is fantastic as are the views. We enjoyed our stay immensely. However, the master bedroom could use a new mattress.

I spent the most relaxing time at the Touchstone Cabin. I experienced the wildlife, the fireplace and the hottub. I will recommend the cabin to all my sking buddies. And will be returning to try sking again.

We spent a lovely long weekend at Touchstone in Jan 06. It was a delightful respite from the daily grind. A winter sunset from the hot tub was a sight to behold!

I highly recommend it!
