Our Home Away From Home
by Tori F.
This year made our third year in a row staying at Lost River Lodge. We thoroughly enjoy this space as it is large enough to accommodate our group with plenty of bedrooms, a large living space, and an enormous kitchen table. The best part of it is the ski in/out location. The hot tub, fully equipped kitchen, and mud room with an extra fridge and washer/dryer made our 4 night stay even more comfortable.
I have a few critiques after year three that would not deter me from booking again, but I feel they should be mentioned. The main level and upstairs mattresses are definitely showing visible signs of wear (divits), and the shower head in the bathroom attached to the king bedroom to the far left on the top level needs replaced. The only other complaint from the group was a fowl smell coming from under the kitchen sink when the cabinet doors were open. We did not notice any leaking so that may require some investigation.
We hope to visit again next year and appreciate how great it is booking through Best of Canaan!

2nd year staying here
by Tracy R.
We love this house! It fits our family of 16 and we don’t feel like we are on top of each other. The convenience of the slopes being in your back yard makes this a dream for the ones that ski. The kitchen is well equipped. The house is showing some wear, especially the kitchen floor. The basement rooms did complain of being cold and we could not locate a thermostat. We can’t wait to stay here again!
We are happy to hear that Lost River Lodge was a great fit for your crew. We appreciate your feedback. Thank you for choosing Best of Canaan, We look forward to seeing you again.

Excellent Property
by William S.
Only problem was that the outdoor grill was absolutely disgusting. Why don't you clean it periodically?

Lost River Lodge - 2024
by Stephen S.
We've been staying 4 nights at Lost River Lodge, both summer and winter for over 20 years. We've always enjoyed enjoyed our stay, and this year was no exception. We've booked again for summer '25, and look forward to it already. The house comfortably fits our 8 couples. The house is beginning to show a little bit of minor wear though, but nothing serious.
Thank you for choosing Best of Canaan throughout the years! We appreciate your continued business! We cant wait to see you again next year!
A wonderful Group or Family Getaway
We loved our stay at the Lost River Lodge and I have to say working with Andi was a delight. The cabin was rented for a ladies only group retreat we stayed 3 nights and the cabin was very spacious throughout and plenty of great outdoor space on the deck ad well. We would Definitely recommend and we hope to be back again if the opportunity comes up again. Thank you Andi and staff at The Best of Canaan. TWC life group.
Tessa, It was my pleasure working with you! I'm so happy to hear you had a great getaway! If you ever have any questions for future reservations, please don't hesitate to call! Thanks again for using Best Of Canaan. Andi
Perfect spot for a multifamily vacation
We took a multifamily vacation to this house. 15 people, and we never felt crowded. A lot of the furniture is older, but it’s very sturdy. The house is very clean. Hot tub worked great and was a wonderful treat for the kids. Right on the ski slope. The kitchen was equipped with so many pots pans, and all the things that you would need to cook family dinners as well as coffee pots, and Keurig. Also a second fridge in the laundry room. Office staff were extremely friendly and helpful when we had trouble with the Wi-Fi. (Our fault, not theirs)Would recommend to anyone.
Thank you for your review at Lost River Lodge. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you again!
Family Ski Vacation
The house was great for ski in- ski out location. The slopes had enough variety to keep all levels of skiers entertained. The house was very clean and the kitchen had plenty of cooking supplies as well as plates and utensils.

Lost River Lodge
by Jill C.
Always look forward to staying at this location. A few plumbing glitches which were taken care of immediately (thank you maintenance). Excellent time of year to experience Cannan Valley. Some furniture removed since past year and not replaced. Hot tub cover and headrests could use improving. Loved the Adirondack polywood chairs(a few additional would be excellent). Overall love coming here.

4-DAYS AT LOST RIVER LODGE
by Stephen S.
For about 40 years we've been coming to Canaan for a few days each time. We love the place, and have been satisfied each time. Keep up the good work.
Looking forward to your return!
CanAm Spyder Ride Trip
The space was great for our group of 11 adults. We felt it could have been cleaner. Some of the furniture is tired and worn as are the pots and pans. The BBQ was very dirty. The roof leaked so the couch was wet and we had a rainy week. TV converters were missing in bedrooms and some not working properly. We made the best of the trip and had a good time anyway.
Hi Arthur,
Thank you for your review. We will check out those issues and get them taken care of soon. We are glad you had a great time and hope to have you back soon!
Great service and experience
by Nathaniel H.

Slope side vacation home
by Leighann H.
Our stay at Best of Canaan was perfect. The house is large , roomy but also cozy. We had 3 families and everyone had their own space and we had great together space. To be able to walk out the door to the slopes cannot be overstated! The rental was updated, clean and very user friendly. We would definitely stay here again
Thank you for your review! We look forward to your return!
Family Reunion
Used this home along with another adjacent property to hold a extended weekend family reunion. Homes were in good shape and allowed us to enjoy our stay. Kudos to Best of Canaan for being responsive to calls about picking up garbage in timely manner. Overall a great experience!
We are so glad you had a great family reunion! We are looking forward to your return!
Great 4th of July Experience
by Jessie T.
Lost River Lodge was the perfect place for our family of 13 to celebrate the 4 th of July weekend! The cabin is absolutely beautiful with a bedroom and bath for each family. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of dishes and utensils for use while you stay. You will need to provide extra garbage bags, paper towels and dishwashing detergent if you cook a lot. Our family enjoyed the large dining table for family meals. The bedrooms had either king or queen beds. Our grandson enjoyed his own room with twin beds. The family also enjoyed the large deck and hot tub. We also had a fire in the fire pit each evening. Canaan Valley and the darling towns of Thomas and Davis provided much to do. We had dinner at Milo’s Cafe and it was delicious! All in all it was a very enjoyable weekend and the cabin was great! The only recommendation I would make is that the two grills need to be replaced. The propane grill would not light and the charcoal grill has seen it’s better days. Other than that, it was a perfect place to stay! We would love to return!
Thank you for your review on Lost River Lodge. We appreciate your feedback on the grills and are having our maintenance staff take a look. Hope you have you and your family back soon!
Critique of 4-day stay at Lost River Lodge
by Stephen S.
We take 4 days every spring to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Canaan Valley. Our group, of approximately 16 adults has been doing this for almost 40 years. We love the place. We started by staying during only winter months, but, due to age have pretty much switched to summer. The hiking and comeraderie are the most popular activities, and we still ski a little bit. Lost River Lodge provides a well-equipped, pleasant experience, that is centrally located.
Thank you for taking the time to review Lost River Lodge. We are looking forward to your return!
Annual Ski trip Timberline
by KRISTINA J.
We were fortunate to book this property for our group of friends who has been enjoying annual ski trip to Timberline for over 15 years. The location is fabulous and the layout and room configuration worked out perfectly for 5 couples +. The hot tub was , the game table saw some competition and the large long high dining table hosted some good games as well. The couch is dangerous, if you want to stay awake! The kitchen had all the essentials, including crockpot. The home was clean and comfortable. Beware, this property will be booked annually by our group...
Thank you for your review on Lost River Lodge. We are happy to know we will be seeing you again in 2023!

Winter Fun!
by Allison K.
We stayed at Lost River Lodge for a long ski weekend at Timberline and truly enjoyed the ease of the ski-in/ski-out location. The house was perfect for our group and we got lots of use out of the hot tub. Kitchen was well stocked and driveway was plowed!
Thank you for your review of Lost River Lodge. We hope to have you back next year!

Amazing experience!
by Tiffany M.
The chalet was beautiful, well maintained, very clean, and has an amazing atmosphere. Snow making machines positioned along the trail was an amazing touch to a beautiful place. Timberline is a great place for skiing, and overall it was a 5 star experience.
Hi Tiffany,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are so thrilled you enjoyed Lost River Lodge. Hope to have you back soon!

The property management staff was professional and friendly as well. They couldn't have been more helpful with the planning and check in/out. The home they recommended
was perfect for our needs. We will use them for all our stays in the valley from now on. Thanks, Don Maclay
Summer '13 @ Canaan Valley
by Stephen S.
We've been renting for about 20 years - summer and winter at Canaan. We love it. This year was no exception! The property is right on the slope, and is great.
Great House!
by Terry S.
This was the perfect house for a ski vacation. Right on the slopes and plenty of room to gather together or slip off for some privacy. We loved the house!
Ski House
by Todd W.
The only issue with this year stay was the fact that we could not use any bathroom the first night or early the next morning. Because of the backup the downstairs had a very strong odor, however the response to the situation was very good and the problem fix by lunch. This was the only issue that was a problem. Thanks

Lost River Lodge Assessment

We've spent time at Canaan for over 20 years, both winter and summer. The last few years were at Lost River Lodge. We always love it. It is right on the ski slope. It also easily accommodates our large group - 8 families, various ages.

4 fall smith laylon burkhart confair
by Jill C.
Love the house and location. The stove and microwave quite old and slow (especially gas stove). The towels, hot pads... are really starting to show wear and discolor as are some of the pots and pans. The DVD player on mail floor (not ground level)tv room does not work (didn't last yr either)...blueray might be nice since most DVD's are now this if you bring your own. Also the sectional couch in main floor left reclining section leans sideways when reclined (just to let you know)other furniture in good shape. It would be nice to have the Tv on 3rd floor slopeside master up on a higher stand since can't see the whole screen when in bed (too low). Love the layout, view of slope, gas fireplace, big table for our family gathering, nice hot tub. Cathedral ceiling light bulbs need replacing (only 2 out of 6 worked) as did lights over island in kitchen and several other places. Master king mattress on main floor is quite worn. We didn't find dish detergent or laundry detergent there when arrived (think this was mentioned in the new write-up). Also a few bathrooms didn't have spare toilet paper roll but all had soap and liquid soap at sink which was great. These comments may seem picky but just some suggestions to make the stay even more enjoyable.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on the house. Looking through the eyes of a renter provides valuable insight, and we promise to use it in a positive manner. We appreciate your opinion and thank you for planning a 2013 stay at Lost River Lodge.
