Hike the dolly sods

Could not be a better location for hiking dolly sods, the house was large enough for a family of 6 and even though it was just my wife and I, we could have easily invited another couple and been very comfortable

Quiet, restful, getaway

The house was clean and comfortable. Nestled in the woods, while there are other houses nearby, you cannot see them and mostly you don't hear them either. It is not far from Dolly Sods, Blackwater Falls, Senaca Rocks and so it is great for the hiker. We also enjoyed the fourth of July celebration in the little town of Thomas. All in all a great vacation.

We got to experience it during a very snowy January, and all 4 of us where very comfortable there, plenty of beds to go around, and a super nice view from the windows and deck. The kitchen had everything we needed, which saved on meals out.

Siblings reunion

This was the first time we stayed at this property, and we hope to come back. The house was spacious and clean. It rained the whole time we were there, with a few breaks of clear weather, but it didn't matter. Being tucked into the woods with windows all around made it feel like we were outdoors. There is a great deck that can be accessed from the kitchen or master bedroom. We would definitely stay there again.

A lovely recharge

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our longest stay ever in Canaan Valley -- 23 days. Wald Haus was a perfect place to spend that time hiking, reading, entertaining out-of-state guests, and watching sunsets. Out 3-year-old labradoodle also enjoyed the visit.We especially loved the deck and house sitting room -- views of trees and deer.The house was very accommodating. As vegetarians, it can be challenging finding restaurants... but Milo's in Davis offered a delicious option.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: May 20-25-2024. One of our yearly visits to the valley staying in Old Timberline was nice and enjoyable with the family and granddaughter. The fishing was great in the Trout Pond and Spruce Island Lake. Enjoyed the house and all the decorative decor. The weather was perfect, only rained on Friday a little while, we didn’t even have to wear a coat or jacket. We love Best of Canaan for our rental company, they are the best.. We are looking forward to the next trip in the valley this fall..

The neighborhood was safe and convenient to lots of great activities including ski slopes, golf course, restaurants, and hiking. There is even a trail into Dolly Sods in the neighborhood! We enjoyed watching wild turkeys in the yard from the comfort of the couch and cozy fireplace. We can’t wait to return and couldn’t recommend this house and rental agency more. Everything from check-in to check-out was smooth and easy. The COVID precautions and cleanliness of the space helped make for a relaxing and safe stay!

Perfect Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very nice comfortable home. Loved the master bedroom suite with its own private living room. Views are spectacular. The layout of the two upper bedroom with loft is very nice giving everyone some privacy. The kitchen lacked storage space for personal items. Recommend you bring a large tight closing storage bin for personal food items unless you want to share them with Mickey Mouse and his family. There is a large mud room next to kitchen which was a lifesaver for personal kitchen item storage and in keeping house clean from tracking mud and leaves inside.

Mountain Biking the Canaan Valley

House is “as advertised”. Listing was accurate. The two sun rooms are amazing. Deck is a nice area to spend time as well. In close proximity to Canaan Valley State Park (7 minutes) and about 17 minutes from Davis. There’s a well stocked grocery store in Davis. They have a nice selection of local beers there. Or take a short walk to Stumpstown Brewery from the grocery store. We are not used to picking up keys for rentals. Most places have lock boxes. But, you have to practically drive by the rental agency to get to the property. So… no big deal. It’s a gated community so no riff raff and the neighboring houses are almost invisible with the foliage. An added bonus… a short drive to the top of development gives you access to Dolly Sods. There’s a great lookout point a short walk from where you park up top. Great for sunsets.

Wonderful Wald haus

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed in many homes on Old Timberline over the past 24 years.This was our first long weekend spent at Wald Haus. Since we travel with our furry companion, choices are limited. We prefer homes near the top with a view and in walking distance to the trails, however none were available to us. This home was very well suited for our group of 8 and we would definitely happily rent this home again upon return. The house set up is a bit strange with the master bedroom between the two living areas, but we managed that just fine. The living area with the hardwood floors on the corner is a delight! The TVs are new, which the younger crowd was delighted to see, so they are HDMI compatible, bring your chords to attach media. Wifi was off and on which is probably the case in all of the houses. We hiked a 8.8 mile trail from the top of Old Timberline, the longest day hike ever for us. It was wet, but gorgeous! Hiking trails for Dolly Sods are now available online. We fished in the lake, but not as much luck as usual. I saw some VERY LARGE fish, think river monster size, so perhaps it's being taken over by carp? This was also our first time renting from Best of Canaan.They were wonderful.
Response from VrboOwner on 4 June 2020
Thanks for taking time to tell us about your time at Wald Haus. It is a lovely setting and we are glad you enjoyed it. Please note that the WIFI should definitely have been on for your use. Although Internet speed here in the mountains is much slower than most folks are used to, it does work. Please don't ever hesitate to phone the office to report Internet problems. We will always do our best to help.

Love the area

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I could tell the house was clean but it was very smelly (most likely due to sitting empty with no air flow) and the carpets were pretty stained. I think the carpets needed a shampoo which might also help with the smell. The plumbing sounds like it has some serious issues, when flushing a toilet or showering you hear very loud humming and an almost fog horn like noise. It was so loud it would wake me and my dog up. There was also only handsoap in the half bath and nowhere else in the home. The yard hadn't been cut the first day we were there, the grass was above my lab's head but luckily the next day it was taken care of. Otherwise we liked the neighborhood, it was quiet and my dog enjoyed walking by the lake. We love the Canaan Valley area and found the location convenient. If this home was maintained better I would stay here again but at the price I think there are nicer places I have stayed in the area.
