Cozy Cabin Getaway - Convenient to 4 Ski Areas, Hiking and Mountain Bike Trails

Tucked into the side of a mountain in beautiful Canaan Valley, our little "Ski Hytte" is a true quiet getaway. It is an "unplugged" getaway that focuses on food, family and quality time. The screen distractions are minimal and the cabin games are plentiful.

4WD / AWD vehicles are a must to access the property - especially in the winter months.

On the main floor you will find:
A well-outfitted kitchen with a kitchen island that seats 2. The kitchen has everything from an ice-cream maker to a fondue set as well as all the basics. The dining area has a table that seats as many as 8 and also doubles as a ping-pong table!
2 steps down into the living room you'll find a large fireplace with a comfy couch and a foosball table as well as books, puzzles, board and card games.
Down the hall of the main floor you will find the master bedroom with queen size bed and an ensuite bathroom with shower. Across the hall is the 2nd bedroom with a full size bed and access to the hall bathroom with a tub and shower. Each of the main floor bedrooms have a door to a semi-private deck. Each one with an uninterrupted view of a gorgeous night sky.
On the Basement level you will find:
Down a spiral staircase, is the 3rd bedroom which also doubles as a game room. There is a twin bunkbed, a small futon and a few beanbag chairs for lounging. The one and only TV plays a small selection of DVD's and Wii games, so not completely unplugged! There is a small basket of kids toys and figurines as well as a dartboard.
The 3rd bathroom has a walk-in shower and the washer and dryer is located here as well.

We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do. It is an excellent "base camp" for all of your outdoor adventures in this beautiful corner of West Virginia.

Beautiful home, in a beautiful area

Overall the home was beautiful, in a wonderful area. The property was super nice, with good amenities. The only complaint that my new bride and I shared was the master bed. While it looked nice, the mattress was Very, Very firm. A mattress topper woupd have made the home perfect.

First glance nice, ok overall

Check in was problematic in that the lock box to front door was across entrance breeze way and didn't see it for awhile at dusk. Tried to contact VRBO and owner with no luck. Inside looked nice but was a bit cluttered. Didn't go downstairs where the TV is because the stairs looked unstable. Sheets on the bed were plastically, felt like sleeping on a plastic picnic tablecloth. porch railing seemed a bit high such that a small dog or small child could slip through, just my opinion We always bring our own coffee pot and pans so we used very little except for a couple plates and silverware which we hand washed. When we went to check out and put them in the dishwasher to run, discovered the dishwasher was full of dirty encrusted dishes. I guess the cleaning staff doesn't check. Owner does not provide propane for the grill, if there is some left then you don't have to get a refill. I mentioned all these issues to the owner but received no response. Owner does correctly indicate the need for a four wheel drive vehicle. Steep Slope drive is very steep and is comprised of washed out gravel.

Great spot

We stayed at the cabin for a long weekend over July 4th. The cabin was great and there’s tons to do in the summer - we enjoyed hiking, swimming, exploring Davis and Thomas, and coming back to cook out on the back deck. Hope to come back someday!

The location is BEAUTIFUL. This place has everything you need and more to be snowed in. Fireplace, board games, grill, plenty of pots, pans etc. We lucked out and got 8+ inches of snow over the course of the four nights we were there. I see other reviews about the place being dirty and I don’t agree. This place was super clean. My only complaint(and I’m really being picky here) is maybe have a couple extra pillows for the beds. I give this place 9 outta 10 stars. Absolutely would come back. Fireplace, foosball table, extensive (awesome) collection Of CDs, really made for a magical snow covered time for our spring break vacation. Host communicated well. Loved it. Hill/driveway is pretty steep so definitely make sure you have 4x4. My Honda AWD HR-V did great out there. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to come back!

Came to ski but the weather was really rainy, which gave us the opportunity to be very cozy in the house with beautiful views. The kids loved all the games. And we explored Davis. Great location between Davis and skiing. We definitely want to come back. Thank you so much!

Ski Getaway

Pros: wood burning fireplace, space was perfect for 2 families, kids loved the basement room hangout, well stocked kitchen, close proximity to ski resorts and black water falls Cons: wasn’t very clean—we found somebody’s underwear in a closet and a dirty sock on the floor, I actually vacuumed and cleaned in the kitchen upon arrival, washer and dryer was was behind a locked door and took multiple messages back and forth with property manager to access it. Sounds like maybe the cleaning person locked the wrong door and put the keys in the wrong place…the property manager always responded but sometimes took a few hours or more and didn’t provide the right information the first few responses, so we didn’t have access to washer and dryer until end of second day. Thankfully this wasn’t a problem though. All in all, great space for a good price!

snowy weekend

Communication with property manager was excellent, and one of the things i always check prior to visiting. House was as described, and the level of cleaning was as described in some of the other reviews. Not complaining, given the location, but did have to wipe down the kitchen/bathroom counters and fridge prior to use. Plenty of space and the basement area is great for detaching from the kids in the evenings. We had 8" of snow the first night and it continued most of the next day, but the plowman showed up before 8 so access to/from was not bad, even with the steepness of the hill to the property (YOU NEED 4WD/AWD). Location was great for access to both ski areas and Davis/Thomas.

Good place to stay & convenient location

Overall - we really enjoyed our stay! Such a cute property! Location was so close & convenient to TimberLine Mtn & Canaan Valley Ski Resort. Thankful for the owners who were easily reached & helpful. The garbage disposal went out & they quickly resolved it. It snowed & we were able to add another day. Great to work with! I will note to really read the description in detail because I thought I read it, but missed that it’s a good way to unplug! We were there for my kids/husband to ski & me to get a break to relax AND during super work weekend hahaha. No one’s fault but my own. The only thing I wished they had was a washer/dryer. Between kids & wet/messy snow gear I really missed that. Again, so used to it in all our other rentals I didn’t check! Totally my fault! The only negative I can say is I have to agree that their cleaning service was just ok. Crumbs, dust bunnies and stuff were on the floor. One accent pillow in bedroom smelled like pee. Dishwasher was full of dishes we had to unload. It was NOT horrible by any means. Just, if I had to critic something that would be the only area slightly lacking. Again, we loved our stay overall & we would likely stay again if we didn’t feel we needed a tv or washer/dryer. Really enjoy our long weekend family trip!

Slippery slope

We enjoyed our short stay in Davis and this house is about what I expected for the price. The house is a little dated and needs a deep cleaning and refresh, but it did look like the pictures. We enjoyed the fireplace, games and cds. The basement rec room is only accessible by a small steep spiral staircase so something to keep in mind if you plan on using that space which we did not. I would not recommend staying here in the winter months if there has been any sort of weather unless you have winter tires or chains as this home is located at the bottom of a very steep hill in which the hoa does not adequately maintain and thus you will certainly get stuck or need a tow out. Even with two all wheel drive vehicles we got stuck and spent two hours of our morning that we had planned to ski digging out the entire road down to the house in order to get out. Neither the long staircase down to the house nor the driveway were shoveled and were covered in a foot of snow. The host didn’t call me back when I called to inquire about plowing of the street, but was responsive to messages sent through the vrbo app and attempted to help. We have stayed at other cabins in this area multiple times during winter months with snow and never have had any issues like we did on this trip. Next time we will probably stay at the Canaan state park cabins as they are priced similarly with all the same features of fireplace and kitchen, and are better maintained.

End-of-summer get away

This "hiking hytte" is in a great location for exploring all that Canaan Valley and the surrounding area has to offer. We enjoyed our stay and the house was comfortable. Hosts were flexible with scheduling when our plans changed. You might consider adding a desk or small table and chair to one of the bedrooms for guests who are working remotely, as we were. Also, it would be good to plan on upgrading the mattresses.
