We had a wonderful time. The property was beautiful and very well maintained. Very responsive. Had an issue with the rental contract and having to resend, but that may have been due to post office issues?

Our stay was meant for time with family and this property was well suited for that. Because of Covid, we did not get to do some things we wanted to but that was out of everyone’s control. Prompt responses, clear instructions. Personnel at gate not super helpful but not impolite.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in

10 minute drive into Timberline development & questionable value for money

Cons: With service fees etc, cost over $1000 per night between Christmas and New Years. Driveway is very long and downhill to the house. Kitchen drawers and some cabinets were extremely overfilled and cluttered. Downstairs bathroom was clean but smelled bad, emanated to whole downstairs. Things like carpet, kitchen pans, some light fixtures were worn / wonky. Pros Hand, dish, and laundry soap included; paper towels, toilet paper too. Plenty of extra towels available. Fireplace was nice and worked well. Grill worked well. Hot tub worked well and was nice and warm. There were games - air hockey & foosball- downstairs. Beautiful natural setting.
Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022

Lost Branch on the lake was a great place for two families to converge from separate states. We reconnected with nature and each other, enjoying kayaking and canoeing, fishing, and watching the wildlife from the expansive deck. The "nightlife" was highlighted by a lake-view hot tub, cool evening temperatures and the gift of millions of stars. This was definitely a location that made us all appreciate the beauty of nature.It was a relatively short trip to Davis, and Blackwater Falls State Park, where the waterfalls did not disappoint.

Tons of deer in the gated community, not spooked by the presence of humans.
Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025

Highly enjoyed it and recommend to others.

Highly enjoyed it and recommend to others. It takes a little longer to reach Davis from this deep in Old Timberline than some other places in Canaan Valley, so may not be perfect for everyone if being closer to Davis and Thomas is important to you. But if you want to be near the little lake and have a view of it, while still fairly close to Timberline Mountain, this is a wonderful place for family groups. They were very helpful and responsive

Had a great time, it’s a very nice place and we will stay again. Air conditioning would help though. Have had nothing but good experience with Mountain Top Reality

Lost Branch By The Lake was amazing. We are already trying to get all of the family interested for next year. I would highly recommend this house. The booking process is very user friendly. As soon as I booked I immediately got an email back.

Thought the view of the lake and the mountains was great, enjoyed the hot tub and the swings. Had plenty of room. No other houses jammed up against it. Everyone was polite and courteous.

Our stay was great.

Our stay was great. The kitchen was well supplied. The living room and deck were our favorite parts of the house. It was well laid out and fit our needs perfectly.The view of Sand Run was great. No problems, check in and check out were a breeze. the only thing I would suggest is to send the form for the Old Timberline guardhouse out with the contract so that it can be filled out before you get up to Canaan.

Actually, this property MORE THAN met our expectations! This property is so much more than what is listed on your website! the views, the layout of the floorplan for our 3 generations of family, the adirondack chairs on the deck and the WELL-STOCKED kitchen!!! I packed WAY more than I would have needed to....this kitchen has EVERYTHING!!! More than what I have at home!! oh, and the hot tub and outdoor fire pit were awesome too! Everyone loved having the wifi available too! Great service!
