Reviewer Comments:
This was our second time at Lazy S. We like this dog friendly property because of the fenced yard and the location. Located at the back of the Timberline community, it is very private and backs to the Wildlife Refuge. We were fortunate to have beautiful weather in early June and enjoyed outings to Blackwater Falls SP, Dolly Sods, and Canaan Valley SP. Don't miss the great ice cream at the Ice Cream Shop in Davis.

Reviewer Comments:
We have stayed here many times and love the peace and quiet. This year has been rough for us and the down time that came with the rainy weather was just what we needed. Lazy S is a beautiful spot to just enjoy some solitude. It is nice to not hear sirens all night, or blasting music. We love being back in the trees.
Had everything we needed and more. Great location to timberline and Canaan. Quick walk to trails.

My family frequents Lazy S. It is one of our favorites. We love the location close to the private hiking area and fishing pond. And it is always great to be able to access Dolly Sods from the gated community access trailhead on Valley View. The house itself is perfect for our needs. A great size with all the household items you could need. We will definitely be back.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Lazy S. The cabin was spotless and stocked with all the essential, even doggo food and bowls. Further, we were able to take a walk in the woods behind the cabin and it looked beautiful and pristine. The location is excellent as well because it is just a short drive from Timberline Hill.

My 4th stay in this lovely house. I had a very relaxing stay. It was nice to sit on the porch and listen to the wind blowing thru the trees. House is nicely appointed. The staff at Best of Canaan were very easy to work with. I would densely recommend this house. The front yard is fenced, so my dogs had a great view of wildlife. Already made reservation for next year.

Ski vacation
We were disappointed that the previous renters did not follow the rules and clean up after their dogs. There are so few pet friendly places to rent that as a pet owner every renter needs to do their part to assure there are places for us to bring our pets to. We loved the fireplace and being able to relax in the evening after skiing. The hike around the nearby lake was refreshing and beautiful. The kitchen was well stocked to be able cook and eat in by the fire.

This house was so comfortable and welcoming. You feel at home. We liked it so much we booked our next stay when checking out. While we don't have a dog, you can see this house would be great for someone who does, from the fenced front yard to crates and even a leash. The house was very clean and well appointed. It's very quiet and tucked in the
My husband, dog and I spent 4 nights at the Lazy S and had a wonderful time. The weather was rainy when we arrived and then it snowed the day before we left. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable and it was at the back side of Old Timberline so there was very little car traffic. I could walk our dog in any direction and have a great walk—we loved the fenced in yard. We closed off two bedrooms and their baths and there was more than enough space for us with the living area and master. We briefly used the screened in porch, had it been warmer we would have taken advantage of it. I’m so glad I chose Lazy S for our vacation.

Cabin was clean and beautiful. The Kitchen was fully stocked with lots of extras. It was nice to have 4 bathrooms and everything on one floor. The fenced in yard was perfect. Only issue was beds were a bit firm and high (which is not good for doggies) They did have stairs that weren't quite high enough and a ramp that was usable but broken in one spot, but couldn't get dog to be comfortable using it. Overall probably the nicest place we have stayed so far. Spruce Island and Sand Run lakes are beautiful and very nice to be in a safe gated community.

We have stayed here previously and liked it so much we booked it again when we were checking out. The staff at Best of Canaan take great care of you. This house is well appointed, the beds are so comfortable and the pillows are too, so much so my husband wants to buy the same pillow for home. The kitchen has everything thing you need. It is tucked in the trees next to the conservancy and it is very quiet. The house also has AC, which many do not, so you would be cool even if it is very warm out. We will definitely stay here again.

This was our 2nd stay at Lazy S and our 5th time renting thru Best of Canaan.Lazy S is perfect for us. It has everything we need. It's comfortable and clean and we liked the kitchen updates. The location is great - very quiet and with easy access to the refuge trails right up the road. It's also an easy drive to the top of the mountain with access to Dolly Sods. And most importantly the fenced in front yard for our dog!Highly recommend Mama Mia's restaurant next to Best of Canaan.
