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.

Ski Weekend

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.

It was snowing like crazy when we got here. The house is beautiful as is the
land. We had four small children with us and they took full advantage of all the
hills they could find for sledding, the grown -ups had fun with the sleds also.
We had a great time. Thank you

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!
