There is a lot of treasures inside the home from the owners travels of the world and we both found it to be just incredible!

Fantastic in every way!
Jim is an amazing host - from the great communications to the very thoughtful touches, this was one of the best stays! The location is great for exploring the area but also perfect to hang out, share meals and relax as well. We enjoyed playing foosball, the jacuzzi was awesome after hiking nearby and between the grills, firepit and fully stocked kitchen, we had everything we needed for a perfect weekend . Jim was super nice and we appreciated his clear instructions and great recommendations. We are already talking about returning next fall!

Beautiful Weekend in this Home
We had a great time staying here for a long weekend. We had never been to Canaan in the summer, and we will definitely return. This was our second time staying in this home, and it was fantastic as before. So many travel treasures to enjoy from Jim’s work trips. Home is so private yet close to amenities. All ages had fun!

Comfortable and Private
This home is secluded, a great place to spend vacation with family. We could see only one other house, and only at night if their porch light was on. The interior is nicely arranged with plenty of space to cook food. Hot tub adds something to enjoy while the weather is poor 🙂

Well equipped, beautiful, private
Lots of interesting stuff. Well balanced hot tub. Very nice covered and open decks with good furniture and flowers. Level access from car to cabin. Good TVs, beds, towels, kitchen. No other cabins close. I was looking for close access to Dolly Sods and there is a long intense uphill walk to the sods from this cabin, but there is a better trailhead within Timberline but you have to drive couple miles to it. Nice.

Almost Heaven
Loved it! A great covered deck with a view of the ridge across the valley (with additional decks on each side), nice hottub, and vigorous air-conditioning, something we've never had in 11 years of Canaan Valley rentals but appreciated during a recent heat wave. There's also a trail to Dolly Sods right next door. Compared to other parts of Timberline where we've stayed this was our quietest and most-wildlife-filled stay, and Jim was a very welcoming host. We'll be back...

Do not hesitate to book your stay. This place is even better than described. Perfect private location. Fully stocked and so many extras. The owners went the extra mile with phone chargers in every room, extra blankets and towels, a dog tie out, fresh fruit, toiletries, etc. All of the decor from world travels were so interesting. Overall the best VRBO we have stayed at. We will book again!

Hummingbird Heaven
Relacing on the front porch while the Hummingbirds battlef for dominance over the feeder was so entertaining. Covertly watching the groundhog family foraging for dinner nearly filled our days. Along with hiking and visiting local attractions. The house was perfect. Clean with every detail well considered for guests. Im sure we will visit again soon.

Best Getaway Spot in West Virginia
Staying at this VRBO in West Virginia was an absolute dream! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the incredible amenities and the attention to detail in every corner. The house was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need, making us feel right at home. The hospitality provided by the host was truly over the top - they went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect in every way. The location was ideal, offering both peace and quiet along with convenient access to nearby attractions. We felt safe and secure throughout our entire stay, allowing us to truly relax and unwind.

Cabin is private with a great view! Owner was great to work with. Amaizing decor inside! Plenty of interesting items host had collected from his world travels. Also, some great creature comforts: amazing hot tub, quality memory foam King size beds, and entertainment area with an awesome surround sound system. Would highly recommend!

The views from Jim's property are AMAZING! The entire setting is an experience you must have at least once! At every glance inside Jim's house you will discover pieces he has collected from all over the world. It is truly a gift he is sharing with anyone who stays.

What a great house!
We’ve visited the Davis/Thomas area for some spring break mountain biking. It was a great trip and our stay was a big reason. The house is extremely clean, comfortable, and very cozy, which we appreciated during the rainy/snowy weather. The kitchen was extremely well appointed. We got a lot of use out of the hot tub! Jim was very responsive with any question we had; his house is definitely on our short list for our next trip to Tucker County!

Always enjoyable time at Jim’s cabin. Hiking to Dolly Sods and all that the area has to offer once out and about to explore fills up any time spent here. Blackwater Falls State Park is gorgeous and Timberline Mntn is a great spot for hitting the slopes. Jim’s cabin is fully stocked with all your needs to stay in for meals and comfort.. Sharp knives, Calphalon pots/pans end microplane accessories, fridge with ice/water make kitchen top notch. BEST Integera home sound system on the East Coast and comfy beds, hot tub ALL make this cabin prime. Jim is great in communication and we appreciate him sharing his cabin. Again.

We stayed for 3 nights over Christmas. The cabin was very well stocked and we probbaly would have been fine not bringing as much as we did! Everything I needed to cook with was available, the decor reminded me of traveling during my childhood, and we loved the property location.

Our family drove from South Carolina for the snow, and we were lucky enough to get around a foot while we were there. We skied, sledded, cross-country skied, hiked, and visited caves. The trip was amazing and we loved the cabin, it was perfect. The fireplace is incredible and kept us so warm. Michael was great to communicate with! Pretty amazing sitting in the hot tub while it’s snowing out. Thank you for a comfortable home filled with everything we needed!

Amazing house!
We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at this beautiful house backing up against the Dolly Sods wilderness. The house had everything you could ask for in terms of cooking implements, a fantastic sound system and very comfortable beds. Between the hiking, the three inches of snow that fell on our second day there and the stargazing from the hot tub, this was truly one of the best weekend escapes ever.
