About this property

Mountain Magic Meets Lakeside Luxury. Welcome to Marrakech!

I read that the name Marrakech originates from Berber words that mean “Land of God”. Add in the fact that the house is located in beautiful Canaan Valley in “Almost Heaven West Virginia” and you have a darn good idea of what you are looking at here. Lovely Marrakech is lakeside on Timberline’s Sand Run Lake where nature is naturally abundant! The considerate homeowners have thought of everything to make your vacation a special experience by providing a canoe for use on the lake as well as a hot tub and horseshoe pits for even more outdoor fun. Step inside and prepare to be comfortable. In just a day you can enjoy an incredible view while relaxing by the fireplace. Shoot pool and play foosball in the downstairs game room. There is still time for a movie or to prepare your favorite meal in the nicely appointed kitchen. Marrakech where there is so much to do or do nothing at all. It is sure to be everyone’s favorite vacation! Four and all-wheel drive vehicles required for winter access.

Great Stay!

The house was as described, and the location is fantastic! It probably has the most equipped kitchen of any online rental I've stayed in. Layout was also perfect for our family to hang out and enjoy the views. Will definitely stay again if we are in the area for vacation.
Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025

Marrakech is the Best

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: I cant say enough about this house and its management team "Best of Canaan." They are the best! Here are just a few reasons we'll be back 1) The location is stunning, views of the lake and foothills. 2) easy access to the lake, canoes and the miles on manicured paths around 2 lakes 3) nice hot tub and game room 4) a beautiful "well equipped" kitchen and 5) plenty of technology / football screens (haha). We can't wait to return!!

2/10 but thankfully only had 6 guests

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was a gorgeous setting, great yard, and canoeing was a very easy location to get the boats in and out of the lake. 1/3 of the rental company employees was very unfriendly and somehow condescending. Perhaps me interrupting her cigarette break was a major inconvenience. The other 2 I interacted with were very kind and hopefully will help tell the homeowner about the moldy basement smell.The basement is not usable to sleep in unless you have all the windows open for a whole day and the whole time overnight. It smells of mold and is humid even with their little dehumidifier trying to work. If my children stayed here, I would not want them sleeping in the trundle bedroom because of the horrible air quality. This house would be a phenomenal option if they installed central air to get the horrible moisture problem solved in the basement! We wouldn't have used the AC for temperature, but for humidity lowering I think it's the only hope for that humid basement. If you only have guests that can share the 4 beds upstairs, it is still a good option.

Management company ( Best of Canaan) does a great job .Property is well maintained and clean. Its location is literally at the end of the road allowing much privacy. Large living area perfect for our family. Outside deck great for lunch and dinner gatherings. Kids enjoyed canoeing on lake and exploring wooded areas. We are already booked for next year.

Family Getaway

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 are a family of 2 Grandparents, myself and my husband, 3 grown Kids and 3 Grandkids and this house was Perfect for Us!! The location on the lake was easy access for the guys to fish! Even though it poured the snow on us!! It didn't stop them! LOL! And the hot tub was super nice to relax in, especially because it was so cold and snowy. Inside there was plenty to do too! We all enjoyed the pool table and fooseball table. And they're stocked with all kinds of games and puzzles. The kitchen was loaded with everything you could possibly need and there were tons of towels and extra blankets and pillows. We had the best family getaway here and we will definitely be booking this house again in the future!!! And I also want to add that the staff was super nice and knowledgeable!!!

Great House and Location

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 house is very clean and the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook with. The great room is sunken so you have to step down which can be tricky if you are not use to that, mainly for older people. The location is wonderful the only thing I wish the owners would do is trim the branches on the pine trees so you can see the lake view better.

Anniversary reunion

We visited with our family to celebrate our 40th anniversary. It was off season in April but we found plenty to do with hiking and art exploring. Saw an eagle, skunk and plenty of deer. The accommodations were outstanding - the best outfitted kitchen at any vacation rental we've visited. The rooms were very nice and we took advantage of the hot tub and swing.

Peaceful small issues

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was 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: This house was perfect for the Easter holiday with family we had dreamed. Some items were concerning for us. The bathroom had some items left in the shower from previous renters, used bars of soap. Sheets on one of the bed had tears in them. Also for the canoe on property that was supposed to be able to use no oar was anywhere to be located. Overall experience was great for a family get away to the mountains though.
