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.

Cozy family vacation

This was definitely an experience very relax and a comfortable atmosphere the kids loved the games and toys that were included. I absolutely enjoyed cooking in a spacious kitchen. I appreciated how Veronica wrote in detail In the welcome booklet what was around the town restaurants, waterfalls, outdoor activities. This was definitely a trip far from home but worth it. Thank you for opening your home for us to experience the beautiful nature of West Virginia.

Too Hot to Handle

This was our groups 3rd trip to this property. This time around we found the place to be a little less than expected, with debris on the decks, dirty floors, grill and utensils. The real issue, however was the lack of air conditioning. We were aware of this prior to booking and it wasn’t a problem in the past but this year’s weather was unseasonably warm and there was absolutely nowhere to escape the heat. Roofs over the porches or even shade tarps would be beneficial here. It is a lovely property and location and we’ve had some fun times there but it’s time to seek another location for future gatherings.

Getting There

The property is very nice. It's apparent a lot of upgrades have been made and more to come. Heck, there's even tissues throughout the house which you don't find many places. The only pick I have is that steps leading down to the house were barely cleared of snow/ice and very difficult and dangerous to negotiate with suitcases. I shoveled them myself the next day.

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.

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.

very nice house

Host was great. Liked this house, however, be aware that you have to carry your luggage down steps from parking area, which is common is ski areas. These outside steps were good, not steep, but no handrail. There is a spiral metal staircase that leads to third downstairs bedroom/laundry/ play area. This staircase would not be suitable for small children or dogs. Can be accessed from outside, but no walkway to get there, have to walk through grass. Not a big deal in the summer months. House does not have a cable TV, TV can be used with dvds, this TV is downstairs. Didn't miss the TV !

Great location if there’s no snow

We took our son to Timberline for his birthday. I understand that you can’t help the weather. When we arrived nothing was shoveled. You park above the house and have to walk down a hill to the house. Because it wasn’t shoveled two of us fell. Because it wasn’t shoveled we also didn’t have access to the wood or the grill. I did write Veronica and she had someone come after we were there two days. The road the cabin is on has 4 homes. Every single person got stuck and needed to be towed out. The plow doesn’t come down the road because we were told he’d get stuck. Our tow guy even said they hired a new plow guy and he’s not keeping up. 175 dollars later for a tow we weren’t to happy. There was a boulder they scraped on the road that was taller than my husband’s waist. No car or truck could make it up the hill. So if there snow don’t park on Slippery Slope Drive as we had 4 wheel drive along with everyone else. Home was nice for what we needed. The cabin was well stocked. The only improvements would be fix the rail going downstairs as a screw is sticking out. Provide dishcloths and I’ve never seen a place that doesn’t unload dishwasher for guests.

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.

Cleaning Problem/ Owner Unresponsive

We arrived at our property around 5:00pm on our check-in day. Deep snow covered steps approximately 4-6" on the deck & walkways to the house that we had to shovel ourselves. House was not cleaned! Kitchen counters and stove had food residue, old food and drink in fridge, dishwasher loaded with dirty dishes, blue bags of dirty laundry sitting on both upstairs bedroom beds, beds not made, no toilet paper, bathrooms had opened/used bars of soap, shampoos, brown substance caked on the bottom of the main bathroom. I immediately contacted Veronica thru VRBO and gave her my cell #. She responded by text on VRBO promptly stating she would contact the cleaning service, sorry for the inconvenience and they would get it straightened up. We responded that we would leave in order for them to clean. The cleaning service contacted us about 45 minutes later stating they would be up shortly they didn't think check-in was until Friday. So now over 2 hours later we tried to contact 'Sheena' to find out where we were in this process...NO RESPONSE.! We had the dogs in the car, food, clothing, etc to be unloaded so we tried to message Veronica, the owner....NO RESPONSE! We took it upon ourselves since now it was dark, we are now 2 1/2 hours since we arrived, to head back to the house. The cleaning lady was still there and said she had just finished. We were waiting for her to leave so that we could get the dogs and our things unloaded. When we came in it was evident that nothing was really done other than the beds were made from the same sheets and comforters that were in the blue bags when we arrived, toilet paper was now on the rolls, but toilets, showers, etc still had the used soap and gross brown stains on the shower floor! The old food and drinks were still in the fridge and the dishwasher still full of dirty dishes!!!!! Soooo.....we again attempted to message Veronica, the owner, that the cleaning had obviously not been done bc we took pictures when we 1st arrived and nothing had changed! We expressed our disappointment thru the VRBO message in the house and conditions and that we have basically lost our 1st night bc we are unable to cook the food we brought with us until we washed all of the dishes and we also needed to do a massive cleaning in the bathrooms! NO RESPONSE! Throughout our stay of 3 nights we never heard back from the owner! We were open and understanding at FIRST to have the situation fixed, but NO RESPONSE left us frustrated and UNHAPPY!

Family reunion

We got to the cabin it was nice but needs a very very good cleaning. We have a special needs son that crawls and his legs and feet were black from the dirty floors.i can’t tell you how many times i wiped him down and gave him a bath. My husband ran the vacuum cleaner cause there was dirt in every corner and dirt on the floors. The beds are super hard and when we took the sheets off the beds at check out there were pee stains on mattress covers. Also they definitely need a hand railing to walk down the steps to the house. Also the downstairs was like sitting in a sauna the whole stay it never cooled off. The spiral stairs to go downstairs were not very trusting. We had to go out front door and walk around the house to go downstairs due to the spiral staircase. Definitely need to redo that idea. Also the towels smelled awful we had to rewash them. There is no ac so you only have windows to open and can’t open the doors cause there are no sliding screen doors on any of the doors in the house and let me tell you the moisture in the house was awful. Every morning everything was damp even the couch. The one small couch has three legs broke on it so u can really sit on it. A lot of Cobb webs and spiders every where. There is a hole in the deck coming out from the kitchen we had to put cardboard over it. The deck and stairs outside are very slippery from it not being cleaned. My daughter actually fell a few times just walking to the car. Need a motion light outside so it’s not dark.

The house is beautiful. We enjoyed our stay immensely. Unfortunately, there were daddy long legs in the basement and the kids refused to sleep there. The only thing I would change is to put rubber mats in the showers. I am slightly disabled and it was slipery. Overall, it was great and I would recommend it to everyone!

Cute Little Cabin

Family members enjoyed their stay at this little cabin.Necessary supplies were provided, and the kitchen was fairly well appointed.As others have noted, the beds are very firm. Hand soap is provided, but bring your own bath products. The master was supplied with two towels & washcloths.We all felt that a TV upstairs is a needed improvement, since there is not enough seating downstairs for a family.There were no batteries for the Wii, so I would suggest bringing batteries if you plan to use the system.The owners are apparently in process of doing updates, and they have had some useful and attractive work done. The kitchen counters and wood flooring are two examples of this.Cleaning was adequate, but some might find it a little less thorough than they would like.As others have mentioned, the spiral stairs are tight, and may be a little precarious for some, but we were all able to negotiate them.Older adults spent their time upstairs, but, again, we all would have loved to watch a movie together in the upstairs area.The owner was helpful with questions, even when I should have found the answers in the house booklet.

April Snowcation

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!

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!

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!
