About this property

Garagemahal! Trails and waterfalls right out the door, forested and quiet.

423 Weiss Knob Ski Rd near Davis WV in Canaan Valley...TrAiL SiDe/Garagemahal lodge located in quiet spot in the highest valley of eastern America. Nearby the White Grass Ski Touring Center run by Chip Chase and Laurie Little, your friendly and welcoming hosts . Two bedroom furnished, sleeps five w/ fold out bed, full kitchen and bath with tub/shower, washer/dryer, and 2 porches. New bedding as of June 2026 with freshly painted interior. 2nd story and steps are required, 1025 sq. ft. apartment with south facing windows and forested mountainside views. Indoor garage parking. Spring water, warm forced air gas heat and portable air conditioner for the few hot midsummer heat spells. Ceiling fans, large screened windows, and insulated shades help keep the house cool and comfy. The house is very well insulated for year around comfort. We are at the end of a quiet rural road leading to the National Forest and very private although adjacent to the Chase home. Seasonal access to the WG sauna. Secluded 8 acre reserve with water falls, small native trout stream, and shelter within an old growth forest. Streamside trails throughout the property as well as over 100 kilometers hiking trails locally. Endless recreational opportunities in this outdoor paradise. Two night minimum.

Walking distance to an Appalachian bubbling sand spring.

This was the perfect home base for a quick two-night trip. The location couldn't have been better—we loved being so close to the hiking trails and getting outside right away! After a long day of hiking, the comfortable beds and cozy space were exactly what we needed to relax. Highly recommend this property.

Overall really great stay. House is in an excellent location near tons of hiking spots. Kitchen is well stocked. Very clean. Only minor critiques are that beds are not very comfortable and the unit is a little closer to the owner's house than expected.

Brenton, Thank you for taking the time for this review. We strive to improve, especially the little things. Perhaps it's time to replace the beds yet they were high quality originally, too many kids bouncing up and down? Joyous spring to you and thanks for choosing our home for your getaway.

My first visit to West VA. What a great rental, so clean and comfortable, dog friendly, close to shops, hiking, pubs and restaurants in Davis. The owner couldn't have been more friendly. We had a great bonfire, cooked on the grill, walked the trails and walked to the beautiful creek right on the property. Only good things to say about THE Garagemahal! Beautiful area!

About the host

Hosted by Chip Chase

Host profile image
Chip Chase and Laurie Little own and operate the White Grass Touring Center and Cafe since the 1970's. Chip is an all around naturalist while Laurie is one of the best read authors of two popular cookbooks.

Why they chose this property

Just over a mile to the western edge of Dolly Sods and Canaan State Park as well as adjacent to the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge. A short scenic jaunt to the bubbling sand spring Refuge boardwalk. Under 5 minute drive to the Nat'l Wildlife Refuge Visitors Center and a 9.5 mile, 20 minute trek to Laneville and the bottom of Red Creek Trail in Dolly Sods. The house is full of maps, guide books, and chapters covering the fascinating local natural history. We are in the heart of Appalachian diversity, home to many workshops, group hikes, outdoor activities, and a birthplace of many rivers. Summers are cool, often filled with thunderstorms, and breezy clouds. Four distinct seasons and a winter often accompanied with fresh snowfall. Chip and Laurie hold a deep understanding of the area and are willing to share it.

What makes this property unique

In winter to be trailside on one of the nation's favorite cross country ski areas and in summer within a short walk or drive to some of the finest white water streams, pristine swimming holes, wild caves, and the funky tourist towns of Davis and Thomas.
