Timberstone

Timberstone worked fine as a base for a spring paddling/hiking trip which a group of 6 good friends (compatible, considerate adults) have done for many years. no children in the mix. one old dog companion.
typical spring weather. freezing to sunny 80 degrees during the course of 5 days, but no snow which we have had in the past
easy access, lots of parking.
the property description is accurate. It's an older cabin. nothing fancy, but good layout, well stocked, clean, generally well maintained. central common space with ample seating, dining table for 8 or a couple more in a pinch, workable kitchen area. 4 large bedrooms each with separate bath. lots of outdoor seating on decks. Inside would be crowded if all beds filled and weather kept everyone inside. other than bedrooms, there is only one big shared space.
Its quiet in Old Timberline in the spring.
easy access to refuge trails and the top of Cabin Mt is an added benefit.
Best of Canaan was great to work with as always

LOVED THIS HOUSE!

Perfect spot for a quiet week.

We have been coming to Canaan, for skiing over 50 years, for hunting over 40 years, and its become a top favorite. We've enjoyed many houses but we've settled on Timberstone as our fav. We'll be back in 2025.

Great trip. Timberstone desperately needs new gas grill. The grill has been bad for years and i mention this every year during my review. That is the only thing bad about this property. Owner needs to spend $200 and get new grill so the experience is not ruined. I packed a portable blackstone griddle just in case this was not replaced.

1- the TV remotes missing in 3 bedrooms and batteries dead in 2 remotes so we had to replace them
2- Floor dirty with dust bunnies, dirty sock, chips, dog bone
3- cobwebs all over ceiling and ceiling fan
4- drawers broken/missing knobs
5- entrance platform rotten
6- ductwork needs cleaning / filthy
7- mouse trap in water heater closet stunk awful so I put the trap on the deck
8- light bulbs out and no replacements so we had to go purchase some

Very disappointed this year since the price went up ~25%. This is our 4th year staying in this unit and most likely our last.

I enjoyed my stay with my family at this cabin. It was well equipped with plenty of space and a nice hot tub. Close to slopes! The only recommendation would be an update of the mattresses as we found them to be too firm. We would also recommend dialing back the heat it was quite hot at night.

Pleasantly surprised at how perfectly the house fit our family. It has a large kitchen and was the best equipped one we have ever hade up there (we come every year). Loved that the 4 bedrooms were of equal size, each with its own bathroom.

Older home, but it worked great.

The 4 bedroom & bath was great for my adult kids. The large open area allowed us to hang together and enjoy games, TV & conversation. I love the Canaan Valley Refuge so hiking was the best!

My family has been enjoying the Fall colors in Canaan Valley for years. What a great experience this year at an awesome cabin in a great location. We saw deer, turkey, and even a red fox.
