About this property

Skiers View: less than 10 mins to state parks + big view/deck/grill etc

Nestled in the heart of Canaan Valley, this charming 4-bedroom cabin-chalet offers a unique and tranquil escape for your next vacation. Skier's View greets you with artisinal rustic charm, offset with modern conveniences. The two-sofa living room offers the possibility of a crackling fire in a glass-front wood stove/fireplace, perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure and-or turn on the large screen smart T.V. for game day or favorite movie.

Gather your loved ones and enjoy the chiminea-outdoor smores station, immediately outside the doorstep. Stay connected with the free WiFi, and send the kids or kids-at-heart in your group downstairs for foosball or another gaming or movie night smart TV w/ satellite/cable channels.

Well equipped kitchen means you can make just about anything at your home away from home. We also are usually well-stocked with starter drinks, coffee pods, spices, candies, and firewood.

Explore the nearby Timberline Resort just 7 minutes away, or Canaan Valley Resort State Park, just an 11-minute drive, or venture to the stunning Blackwater Falls State Park, a 16-minute drive from your haven. For a true wilderness experience, the Dolly Sods Wilderness Area is only an 8-minute drive away (if you know the secret way to get there, which I can share,) Also, feel free to book a spa treatment at Canaan Valley Resort State Park, or use their indoor pool/spa area for a very nominal fee, or their outdoor pool in summer for a similarly low fee. Ice skating and tubing in the winter at Canaan and sledding at Blackwater Falls State Park.

Back at the cabin-chalet, you'll find a fully stocked kitchen, complete with a stove, oven, large refrigerator, and all the necessary appliances to whip up delicious meals. Enjoy your culinary creations at the dining table(s), or step outside and fire up the grill for an al fresco dining experience on the large picnic table and Adirondack chairs.

Unwind in the comfort of your home away from home, where you'll find essentials like towels, basic soaps, shampoo, hair dryer and hair curler. With a washing machine and dryer, you can keep your clothes fresh throughout your stay. Embrace the great outdoors with the porch, chiminea-fire pit, and outdoor play area, or challenge your family to a game of foosball in the game room.

Canaan Valley/Timberline/Davis/Thomas area has so much more to offer, which I am happy to share with a specially prepared guest sheet for all who book Skiers View.

Why they chose this property

I first discovered Canaan Valley when I went X-country skiing here as a very young adult in 1989. At the time, the only other place I had X-country skied was in a thick European forest out of a Brother Grimm's fairy tale - Perlacher Forest, around Munich, Germany. I was excited to find that Blackwater Falls State Park, when covered in snow, evoked the same feeling. I was also excited to discover that Canaan Valley has the most natural snow fall of anywhere that is a weekend trip from from the Washington DC-Baltimore area. I went back every winter after that and dreamed of someday having my own place "in the Valley." Fast forward to 2005 when the dream became a reality. Upon purchase, Skier's View was in not great condition, but a thoughtful renovation, redecoration and removal of heavy window treatments did wonders! Fast forward and my son who has spent precious time here appreciates the great outdoors and is on ski team in winter. (Or race team, to be more accurate.) Happy to share the beauty, joy and tranquility of this piece of "almost heaven" with our guests and thrilled with all the improvements that have occurred in the area over the last 20-ish years, including the new Timberline Mountain. While we are not "on the mountain" we enjoy seeing the runs of both Timberline and Canaan across from us, and also enjoy that it is a much quicker run into Davis or Thomas from our location.

What makes this property unique

Fabulous views, central location to Valley fun. This home is not decorated like a rental -- while "rustic" it has a lot of high-end features you will not typically find in a rental home, like quality made custom furnishings, pendleton blankets, heiloom/antique finishes, etc. I get my best sleep in this home, thanks to the dark night sky, peace and quiet, and fresh, cool mountain air. Plus, the outdoor activities probably help! In addition to the great outdoor experiences in the area, note that the towns of Davis and Thomas have a lot to offer for towns of their size, in the way of visual arts, music, food, drink and seasonal events. (The fourth of July fireworks and parade are really really special.) There are a number of artists studios, as well as the acclaimed Purple Fiddle café/music venue in Thomas, part of the "mountain music trail." Over the years, this little piece of West Virginia has been growing and thriving in a very positive way -- more local shops, many sellers of local beef, honey, spirits, etc.; quaint Tip Top café in Thomas with Friday grass-fed beef burger night, and a very special "locals" bar at the Billy Motel. And thanks to Perfect North for putting $10 million into Timberline Mountain!! Proud to be a teeny tiny part of the invigoration of this beautiful part of West Virginia.
