Great week with friends
Spent our annual friends week in Appalachian Spring. The kitchen was really nice and well equipped. Everyone had their own bath, which is always a plus. Large comfortable space to hang out. Mattresses do need replaced . Hot tub was not working but a refund was put on the credit card within two days of leaving. We have rented thru Best ofCanaan for 7 years and they are always so pleasant and accommodating.
Cozy and peaceful
by Brandy W.
The place was beautiful with plenty of room. Plenty of amentities available. Loved the deck, windows, and hot tub. The couch and all but one bed was very comfortable.
Thank you for your review on Appalachian Spring. We are happy to hear yo enjoyed your stay! Hope you choose to revisit!
Spring in Canaan Valley
by Anne S.
dry year for a spring paddling trip, but we spent 2 80 degree days on the Cheat Narrows, walked and admired the trees at Cathedral State Park, then hiked for 2 days in the Canaan area with snow spitting at times.
our second stay in Appalachian Spring, which makes a comfortable,quiet, secluded base for our group of 6. Timberline trails, and easy access to Cabin Mt and refuge an added bonus
Sounds like your group has quite an adventure. We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay here in Canaan Valley. Looking forward to your return!
Gorgeous views, comfy house
by Robert S.
Very pleasurable stay. Beautiful views, comfy rooms and furniture. We enjoyed the hottub but there were no directions in the welcome book so we had to google it to figure out to get it out of standby mode. Also, some of the rooms are hotter than others. And the garage wasn't cleaned after the last guests. Otherwise we did enjoy it and may return in the fugure. Oh, I'd also recommend installing a level 2 Electric vehicle charger.
Thank you for your review on Appalachian Spring. We appreciate your feedback. Hope to have you back in Canaan Valley.

Christmas ski trip
We loved the house. It was large and clean and centrally located. It was stocked with board games. The only improvement I recommend is a working ice maker.
Thank you for your review!

Thanksgiving family stay
by Melanie S.
We enjoyed our stay. And the fireplace and LR/kitchen WERE GREAT! . Things to improve: there was no toilet paper, no paper towels, no dish soap, etc. , should be told to bring if there is none. There were spider nests /cobwebs everywhere, the table and other furniture needs work-and overall needs some general maintenance. Overall we had a fun trip and would stay again but with more supplies.
Thank you for your review. We do provide the items you have listed and we so apologize for the oversight. We hope you will visit us again and if you ever have an issue with your stay in the future we hope you will give us a call so we can take care of it right away. We are thrilled you had a great time otherwise and look forward to your return!

Applachian spring
by Anne S.
house name and weather were a match. arrived in near blizzard, last couple of days near 80
house worked fine for a group of 6 friends on a spring whitewater paddling trip (with some bonus xc skiing for those so inclined). comfortable layout, well stocked, everything worked with minimal glitches. good parking for 6 vehicles. we had a great stay
Thank you for your review of Appalachian Spring. We are thrilled you enjoyed your time here and we hope to have you back soon!
Bright, Spacious and well-equipped
by Christi C.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was very spacious. We were in a group of three couples and the layout provided plenty of privacy as well as being a great gathering spot. We loved the well-equipped kitchen, thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. The living room was bright and sunny with a beautiful sectional that enabled us to all sit together comfortably. And a bonus gas fireplace. There were plenty of games, books and puzzles as well as tv and internet. The furniture was very nice, beds were comfortable with plenty of extra blankets and pillows. Would definitely stay here again!

Christmas stay
The kitchen was the best equipped one we have ever rented. House needed a deeper cleaning, but it still was nice. Location was good. We had a little snow, but the younger generation skied and snow boarded at the closest ski slopes and SIL enjoyed a lot of bike trails. . I wish they had safety rails in the master bath and a higher toilet and someway for a disabled person to get in and out of the hot tub. I don’t think places up there are equipped for the disabled, but the house had plenty of room, huge windows and it was all on one floor. There are a lot of light switches and 2 bedrooms needed more light sources. A lot of puzzles and games were provided. We would rent Appalachian Spring again.
Hi Sandra,
Thank you for the great review of Appalachian Spring. We are thrilled you enjoyed your time here and we can't wait to have you back!

Appalachian Spring
by Jeffrey M.
It was a very nice house. I have been staying in the valley during the hunting season for 34 years and this rental did not disappoint. I would recommend it to others. The only issue we had was no cable TV for 2.5 days.
Hi Jeffrey,
Thank you for your review of Appalachian Spring. We are thrilled you enjoyed another hunting season with us and look forward to having you back next year!

Peaceful getaway
by Brook L.
Our family LOVED our time at Appalachian Spring! It was so quiet and peaceful. I really enjoyed cooking our meals with my daughter in the big kitchen! I love the high ceilings and large windows! Fishing with my kids was so much fun!The fish bite as soon as you cast your line which was great for my impatient 8 year old. My wonder family loved our time spent in Canaan Valley. We were all sad to leave, but we will definitely be back in the future!
Thank you for your review on Appalachian Spring. Happy to hear you and your family enjoyed your time in Canaan Valley! Please come back and see us again!

Appalachian Spring Review
by Peter B.
Appalachian Spring was a great rental experience overall. The house itself was well kept, very spacious and close to the Canaan Valley outdoor recreational activity locations. It was very spacious and well suited to a family or groups with need for seperate bedrooms/bathrooms and with lots of areas to congregate/lounge. It was a great stay and well worth it.
Hi Peter,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review on Appalachian Spring. We are thrilled you loved this home and we hope to have you back soon!

We are so glad you had a great vacation. Thank you for planning your Canaan Valley lodging with Best of Canaan.
Awesome home the pictures don’t do it justice
by Edward S.
The place was clean, has washer dryer with detergent and a dish washer with soap so eating in and doing dishes was great and saved us money to do things like zip lining and white water rafting! I would definitely stay here again!
We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay here in the beautiful WV mountains. Thank you for planning your Canaan Valley lodging with Best of Canaan. Please come back and see us!

Family Ski Weekend
The house was beyond our expectations. It was clean and beautiful. Location was great for skiing at Timberline and Canaan Resort and we had a wonderful time. The staff at Best of Canaan are friendly and great to work with. They even mailed our son's favorite stuffed animal to us when we accidentally left it behind. 🙂 We will definitely be coming back.
Everyone here at Best of Canaan knows that favorite stuffed animals are so special they have to return home:>) Thanks for taking time to share your thoughts on the house. We hope you return to Canaan Valley soon!

Home Away from Home
by Adair R.
This property was very comfortable for our family ski weekend! Family room was perfect for our super bowl party as was the kitchen. Bedrooms were quite roomy and having three bathrooms was very convenient. Being at the end of a cul-de-sac was very peaceful and private!

Return to Dolly Sods
We enjoyed the house, wife loved the kitchen. The location is nice, the kids enjoyed the deer and the hot tub (especially when it was snowing). The house could stand a few minor repairs, but nothing interfered with our stay or made it less enjoyable.

Quite satisfied
by William T.
Among the best houses we’ve had in 25 or so visits. Nicely equipped kitchen, great master suite. Interesting layout. Clean hot tub. Slight annoying odor upon entering the house. Bedding not very comfortable. Bring your own pillows if you are a pillow snob. Water taste and smell slightly off. We used bottled water. I would think you will be overall pleased unless you cannot overlook anything.

Return visit just as good as the First Time!
by Nicholas G.
Yet again, a lovely peaceful stay at Appalachian Spring. This time, we brought the whole family! It was the first time we had all been together for a long time and there was plenty of space for us all. The kitchen has everything (and more!) that I have at home and we spent the time relaxing, hiking and enjoying the peace and quiet. We couldn't access the wifi when we arrived, but the property management company sent someone immediately to fix it. All in all, another lovely stay.

I want to full house in Kaname Valley

Christmas in Canaan Valley
Our three-generational family of six adults and two children celebrated Christmas at this wonderful house for the third year in a row. The house itself is spacious, well-appointed, and the layout is just perfect for our group. We love the location and had hoped to ski again this year but the low temperature coupled with wind chill, made that impossible. So we enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and playing in the five inches of new snow with our grandsons. There was plenty of room indoors for the little boys to build their Christmas Lego kits while the adults caught up on some reading, watched a football game in the huge seating area, or cooked together in the fabulous kitchen. I'm very picky about CLEAN, and basically, the house was clean but it hadn't been used for a month or so and could have benefited from a freshening of bedding, cobweb removal/dusting, and just an overall check before we arrived. The folks at Best of Canaan were great to address a couple of glitches in a professional and timely manner, even on Christmas Eve! It's a great property and we'll likely be back!

Memories are made of this!
by Jane B.
We had such a lovely stay in Appalachian Springs. The photos did not really show how beautiful the house is. The kitchen had everything you needed and we cooked delicious meals and had a BBQ on the grill. The bedrooms were comfortable, the surroundings were peaceful, we found many hikes and attractions not too far away and, each evening, when we returned, we relaxed in the hot tub and enjoyed a cocktail. Our sister-in-law will return to Scotland with many lovely memories!

Family Weekend at Appalachian Spring
by BETH D.
This property was located at a cull-de-sac and wild-life surrounded us.
The house has a beautiful open floor plan for eating and relaxing as a family. The bed-rooms were comfortable in size and the furnishings simple and lovely. The master bedroom was amazing. Loved the simple decorative taste of the owners, and the entire floor plan. Will return again for an extended stay.
Nice House!!!
by Brett H.
This house was very clean and well maintained. The level paved driveway was nice for the kids to ride their bikes. Kitchen is beautiful. Sectional in living room is extra large. Large deck in the back with nice hot tub, although a little small. It was nice to have the use of the garage. TVs in bedrooms and a pool table in the large living room would add to this very nice ranch home. The house, along with the gated community that includes lakes to fish, kayak, were wonderful! Would love to go back to this home. (MBR toilet had a little glitch...difficult to flush at times)
Quiet location!
Lovely 1 story house! The large couch in living room was a big plus! Lots of sitting room! A picnic table on the deck and AC would make this place even better! The staff at Best of Canaan are great!
Excellant
This is our fourth year to vacation in this area. and our second to be in this house. We love it. Our family as a fun week of outdoor cooking, games and hot tub.
Perfect Canaan Valley Vacation Rental

A perfect spot for a multi-family group. Plenty of space for adults to have their own rooms/bathrooms, lots of running for the kids. Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, etc. etc. The house was SPOTLESS--beautifully clean.

Christmas in Canaan
Our family of six adults and two children chose Appalachian Spring for the second consecutive year for our Christmas getaway. The layout of the house is great. There's plenty of room to cook, eat, and gather as well as space for quiet and privacy. There's lots nearby to keep all ages occupied. We skied at Canaan Valley, browsed the shops at Thomas, swam at CV Lodge, and enjoyed long walks in the neighborhood and around Spruce Lake. As before, we found the staff at Best of Canaan to be exceptionally friendly, efficient, and accommodating. We'll be back!

Fabulous house!
by Debra P.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Appalachian Spring. It is spacious and inviting, tastefully decorated, clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and has plenty of storage space in the cabinets. The wraparound sofa in the living room is situated in front of the fireplace and can easily accommodate a dozen people comfortably. Beds are comfortable and bathrooms, roomy. The hot tub is small for a large crowd but was clean and comfortable. The lot is very private and quiet. We definitely plan to return in the future.

by Kathy U.
this is a very comfortable home. it met all of our needs. the sectional in living room provided plenty of seating. the kitchen was great to work in. master suite is huge! no complaints at all!
Beautiful place!!!
by George R.
Beautiful place located in the Old Timberline subdivision. House located in nice secluded and quiet lot. House was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Everybody at Best of Canaan very helpful and nice. Will definitely be back in the future!!
Much needed weekend getaway
by Sandy C.
The home is a very private and in a very nice location. The home is well appointed and has 4 large bedrooms, one being a very nice suite. The kitchen is large and has everything you'll need even you choose to make a gourmet meal. Hot tub is nice for 4 people, dinning and living room are spacous also. The only thing I would change would be to upgrade that small tv in the living room, If the weather is good there, most of your time will be spent outside enjoying the beauty but when it rains 3 out of the 4 days you need to watch a bigger screen. Would definitely rent from Best of Canaan again they do a great job.
Great Cozy Cabin
by Brian S.
Took my family up here for a weekend get away. Great private location in a gated community. The beds were comfy, the hot tub was great, the kitchen was amazing, can't speak highly enough of the property. We had daily visits from deer which the kids loved. Nearby Davis has falls and outdoor activities and when your hungry several restaurants to eat at. Best of Canaan people were friendly and helpful. Will return.

Pre-Christmas Family Getaway
My husband and I, our two daughters and their husbands, and our two young grandsons had really looked forward to a pre-Christmas ski trip to Canaan Valley. Unfortunately, Mother Nature did not cooperate and we had unseasonably warm temperatures and rain for most of our four-day stay. Fortunately, the house was spacious, very clean, and in a great location. There was plenty of space for all eight of us to relax, eat, and sleep. Our 5 and 2-year-old grandsons loved playing hide & seek inside and we all enjoyed hikes around the neighborhood. We also spent some time admiring Blackwater Falls, browsing the shops at Thomas, and taking advantage of the indoor pool at Canaan Valley Lodge. Donna at Best of Canaan was very helpful and quick to respond via email to my pre-stay questions. Check-in and check-out processes were smooth and easy. Despite the lack of snow, we all had a great getaway, and will very likely be back again next year.

Fall Fun at Appalachian Spring
by Violet S.
We had a wonderful time staying at Appalachian Spring. The weather was perfect. The house was quiet and secluded and well-appointed. Layout was great and made relaxing with friends very enjoyable. Whike it would have been nice to have had more than one TV available, it was not a deal breaker. Will definitely consider this unit in the future. Folks at Best of Canaan are awesome to work with. You could not ask for a nicer, more attentive groupd of people to work with!

Some time away from our home to the home at Appalachian Spring.
by Kathy G.
Overall we had a nice stay, the home had plenty of space for the 3 of us. That one queen bedroom needs to have a ceiling fan. We have a cat and could not bring it and had to leave him at Elkins in boarding for the week, he did not do very good, he missed us so much 🙁 would have loved to kept him there in his big cage/house in the garage so he could be close to us, would have not let him run loose at all in the house, I wish some of the homes would allow cats if we promised to not let them do damage.

Delightful, beautiful home. The home entertainment system needs to NOT be wired to a gaming system. Many older adults are not familiar with the system. Needs a basic/dvd/cd player.

We had great stay with lots of snow. Somehting that would be helpful would be a guide or notes on the hot tub... Would recommend this house to anyone.. Kitchen is awesome....

Pleasurable Haven
by Carol F.
The house was a pleasant retreat. The layout of the place was great with plenty of space. The kitchen was exceptional with all the upgrades. The family certainly enjoyed the large dining table as we all sat around it eating, chatting and sharing many fun stories. The great room was a place for relaxation and taking in the colorful, picturesque outside scenery with the large floor-to-ceiling windows. The spacious master suite was incredible. The whole place was tastefully done. The only negative was that there could have been more than one TV. It would have really convenient to have had TV's in the bedrooms, especially in the master suite.
I want to also commend the rental staff for their personable and caring ways in accommodating our situations as our needs changed.

Weekend in Appalachian Spring
by Charles H.
Four couples spent a long weekend. We had a great time, despite a rainy weekend. The house was very nice. However, it needs a few things in order to be suitable for eight guests: more coffee mugs, larger trash bags with ties, a DVD player, labels on the myriad light switches, a salad bowl. Also, something needs to be done to improve the water pressure in the bathrooms. Having said all that, with a few little fixes, this is a terrific house in a splendid, remote location.
