Cooper Homestead*
This one is so special. You have to see it to believe it.
History meets comfort at this original Canaan Valley home! Cooper Homestead is a true blend of all the “things” we humans enjoy and the history we love to hear about. One of the first families to settle in the high Allegheny Mountains, the Coopers farmed, timbered and raised 9 children 3200”above sea level. Built in 1882, Cooper Homestead is the only original Canaan Valley cabin still standing. And now it is available for you to rent! Renovated just enough to offer a full kitchen, laundry center and yes-inside plumbing, the homestead sits on 10 acres of super scenery and spectacular views. Enjoy some porch time. Prepare your favorite meal. Take in the views and witness true tranquility. Visit and imagine this pristine property filled with a large hard-working family. You can feel the history and find the modern as you experience this one of a kind lodging opportunity. The homestead is most comfortable for a couple or a couple with one or two children. Your well behaved dog is welcome with a small pet fee.

We Loved Cooper's Homestead
by Tara H.Peace and Tranquility
by Kimberley P.You're close to Davis and Thomas as well as Blackwater Falls State Park.
Wonderful Cabin
by David N.Cooper get-away
Sitting on the porch swing or the top balcony with a cup of tea in the morning or evening was an absolute dream. If you want to get away and relax this is the place.
Loved it!
I’ll echo other reviewers that the stairs are steep and narrow, as you would expect in a house of this era. We were able to get our suitcases up and down carefully, but I wouldn’t recomm
Pleasant, needed rest

by Philip M.We didn't want our stay at Cooper Homestead to end!
Picking up the keys was a breeze, and the property was easy to find. We arrived in the dark, with a cold wind blowing, and were delighted to find the gas fireplace burning and the house toasty-warm.
We stayed four days over Thanksgiving. The kitchen is fitted out with everything we needed to cook a full Thanksgiving dinner, and it was wonderful to eat with the family at the kitchen table, like generations before us.
The homestead was built by one of General Robert E. Lee's bodyguards after the Civil War, and it was exciting to experience this piece of history for ourselves. It snowed whilst we were there and the views out of the second-floor windows to the hills beyond was just magical. We took long walks across the property with our dogs, and enjoyed reading in the living room and playing the games provided.
A couple of things to note – first off, this is NOT a luxury stay. The house is truly rustic, with rough edges, uneven floors and even areas of the walls where old newspaper is still plugging cracks! If you are up for a real piece of history and a special location, this is for you.
Secondly, be aware that one bed is a large double, the other is the size of a king single – fine for two smaller kids, but our tweens found it a bit of a squeeze. And I’d recommend taking your own pillows as those provided are in need of an upgrade.
Third, the stairs are quite steep and narrow. If you are elderly or have any mobility limitations, you might find them difficult.
I hope I’ve managed to convey that Cooper Homestead is a really special place. To think it was almost knocked down to make way for a subdivision, before it was saved and renewed! We’re thankful to the owners for sharing it so that we had the chance to experien

Great rustic cabin to stay in
Great cabin for a relaxed getaway
by Robb H.Beautiful property with a historical feel
by Ashley S.A special getaway!
A few things for future guests to be aware of: 1. As other reviews have mentioned, the stairs are very steep and narrow. Not recommended if you have mobility issues. 2.The bedrooms are shotgun style (i.e., you have to walk through one to get to the other) and the walls/doors are thin. Not recommended if you want complete privacy from the other bedroom. 3. There is satellite wifi, but it is a very old router. It works fine for checking email, but not suitable for streaming or video calls.
Overall, a really special place to enjoy nature and a slower pace of life! We would love to return.
