About this property

Lovely 10 bedroom home offers the perfect place for your next gathering.

Mr. Webster tells us that a lair is a secret retreat or a base of operations...a hideaway. Well, that pretty well describes it. The mighty Mountain Lair with its 10 bedrooms comfortably sleeping 20 is the perfect place to rally the troops on your next mountain retreat. Inside there is something for everyone with 10 TV's, a pool table and bar, free WIFI, DVD players , 2 fireplaces, and no less than 3 laundry centers! Visitors in spring, summer and fall will love taking the festivities outside to enjoy dining on the deck or relaxing under one of the gazebos with family and friends. This is the perfect place to plan a family reunion or weekend warrior getaway.

Best ski in ski out ever!

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: We were able to book the Mountain Lair at Timberline and had 14 out of 20 family members stay. This was especially great for the toddlers and kids to get out on the slopes from the house. We loved this place!

Amazing house!!

My family stayed here January 2023, and it is the most perfect house for a big group! The ski in ski out is so convenient and located very close to the lift! The small amenities you usually don’t get at other places was great and the beds were the comfiest I’ve ever had staying away from home. A short drive from Davis if your group wants to go into town to Stumptown or get some burritos at Hellbender! I’ve been coming to Davis for 5-6 years now and this has been my favorite house!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Mountain Lair has been by far the best ski house anywhere that we have traveled! Right next to the slope! The entire house is more than stocked including the kitchen! Every kitchen gadget imaginable! A very cozy place to be with family and friends! You can tell that the owners keep up with everything!

Family ski trip

We enjoyed our stay very much at this property. It provides direct access to the slopes, it is spacious and accommodating to multiple families. The layout provides privacy as well as a great, very well equipped kitchen, a beautiful large dining room and living room. Unfortunately the representative of the management company was unfriendly and not accomodating. It left a sour taste in our mouth, but I would rent this place again at a heartbeat if I wouldn't have to deal with the same person again. I plan to address the issue directly with the owners.

Love, love, loved it.

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: We were 13 adults and 3 kids that came here for a family reunion and it was perfect for our needs. Plenty of bedrooms for all and spacious enough that we weren't tripping over each other. Very clean and well taken care of. Plan on returning again in 2 years as next year has already been booked elsewhere. We enjoyed the waterfalls and a picnic at Blackwater Falls Park otherwise just stayed at the house the entire time. The only minor complaint would be they need retractable shades on overhead window over the dining table as the sun was in our eyes as we were eating dinner.

Another Donahoe Reunion Success

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: My six siblings and I (along with our significant others) have rented a large house every year in many different parts of the country for the past 15 years or so. The “Mountain Lair” house was one of the better houses we have rented in the past. The bedroom layout aloud people to go to bed early or wake up late without being bothered by others staying up late in the family room or getting up early for a noisy breakfast. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, glasses, cooking equipment and 2 working gas grills. We all did plenty of hiking (all within reasonable distances) and several of our group got 5 day passes for indoor swimming at a local resort 10 minutes away at a very reasonable price. We got lucky with the weather (sunny and in the low 60s) for the second week of October. Fall foliage was beautiful as you can imagine. Lastly, the Best of Canaan Staff were very helpful, answering many questions that we had prior to our visit.

With a full house for a week there was a need for more towels but thankfully after a call to the office we had enough but needed more wash cloths. The weather was perfect.

The listing didn’t have any summer photos, so we weren’t quite sure what to expect. We needed a large home for our big family, and this place turned out to be even more beautiful than we imagined. The property was spacious, and all the amenities were very well maintained. We’re already looking forward to coming back for our summer vacation next year. Thank you!

Wonderful Home

We would recommend this home/lodge to any family company event or gathering. It is clean, beautifully decorated, comfortable furniture and beds, and the kitchen is stocked i with every appliance that you can think of. Last the outside decks and swing were very enjoyable in the evening.

Outstanding Rental

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: Our stay at the Best of Canaan "cabin" (it's so bug it's difficult to refer to it as a cabin) was nothing but great. Being told ahead of time that the cabin was well stocked did not prepare me for just how well stocked it was. If you need to cook it, bake it, slice it (they have a meat slicer) you have what you need. A chef wouldn't know what to do with all of the kitchen equipment.Moving on to location. It couldn't be in a more centralized location based on the local attractions. Minutes from Davis, Thomas, and Blackwater falls. Short drives to caverns, Seneca Rocks, and Dolly Sods Wilderness.The cabin was clean and well stocked with towels. The check in was hassel-less took literally 1 minute.I could go on all day but in short I highly recommend this cabin and will probably go back.

Family reunion in the mountains.

8 adult siblings and significant others drove from 4 states to stay in this gorgeous house. More than enough bedrooms and bathrooms. Big and extremely well stocked kitchen allowed for easy meal prep. Large table we fit 14 adults around. Excellent hot tub. Great location. 15 to 20 minutes to Davis, Blackwater Falls, and Thomas.
