Excellent experience!
This rental exceeded my expectations as it was well appointed with eclectic decorations from around the world, high-end cookware in a fully stocked kitchen, exceptionally comfortable beds, 4K TV and sound system, and breathtaking views. We visited over MLK weekend when a snow storm was expected. The driveway was plowed twice (AWD or 4WD vehicles are necessary); the teenagers loved the hot tub and it was convenient to everything we wanted to do. I loved Jimā€™s maximalist decorating style as there was many fascinating things at which to marvel. Overall, we have zero negative comments as again, this exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Jim!

Cozy Canaan Cabin
Make sure you have 4 wheel drive if you plan to stay during Winter! The drive up to the house with snow is legit! Excellent spot if you want a more private escape but to also be close to Timberline, White Grass and the towns of Davis and Thomas. House backed up to Dolly Sods Wilderness Area so would also be ideal for hiking in the warmer months.Plenty if cookware and the amenities were all as described and in working order.

Peaceful getaway
My husband and I had a lovely stay at Jim's place. We had our two dogs with us as well. The views were stunning as we were there in late November and it was already snowing. The fireplace made our entire stay very cozy. The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed going on walks and runs and visited the town of Davis and had a great time at Stumptown Ales. We will definitely visit again!

Perfect getaway
It was peaceful and quiet, just what we needed for a weekend away without the kids. The decor was unique and gave the place an authentic and cozy feel. Wish the leaves hadnā€™t fallen already during our stay but the view was beautiful regardless. I highly recommend traveling a little further out of town for groceries, the local supermarket was pretty sad.

Peace in the valley!
We have been visiting Canaan Valley most of our adult lives. Sometimes we stay in Davis, but most of the time we stay in the Timberline community. Jimā€™s property is awesome! So peaceful and accommodating. Everything you need and then some! One of the best VRBOs. If you have never been to the area Jim provides tons of great, helpful information. Thanks Jim!

We absolutely loved our stay. The cabin is so eclectic and we enjoyed looking at all the things from the ownerā€™s travels. It was stocked with everything we needed to cook, including lots of spices. We so enjoyed the hot tub while it snowed. Truly magical! Owner was very responsive as well. We hope to be back someday.

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!

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 Jimā€™s work trips. Home is so private yet close to amenities. All ages had fun!

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 šŸ™‚

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.
