  Teresa W from Smithville, WV recommends this vacation rental

  We absolutely loved this cabin and it’s located. Secluded but close to reds and shopping! A bonus is the rental management staff. Very helpful and friendly. I accidentally locked myself out of the cabin and one of the maintenance staff arrived and let me in. Was so very very thankful. I would recommend to anyone.

  Our group of 12 rented two houses (Fern Gully and Timberdoodle) to spend a long October weekend hiking in WV. Both houses were convienient to each other and similarly layed out and outfitted. Everyone enjoyed the weekend and stay, though the bed in the MB of Timberdoodle was too soft.

  a guest from Howard, OH recommends this vacation rental

  Six of us (3 senior couples) spent a wonderful week in Canaan Valley. Most of us have been there many times in the past, mostly in the winter for skiing trips. But that was almost 20 years or so ago.
  We have always enjoyed trips there, and why not? It is really a beautiful valley, the whole valley is beautiful and very friendly.
  We hiked "between the parks", rode the ski lift, did other hiking, and took the bus tour to Dolly Sods. Awesome! The days were just packed. I was surprised that there was a booking fee on this trip, have not had one before. Would love to go back, any season of the year. My thanks to all the staff and cleaning crew! -- Ray

  Jeffrey W from Logan, OH recommends this vacation rental

  Very pleasantly surprised upon arrival. House was spacious and well kept. Everything was as described. The ladies at the rental office were super friendly and helpful. Only drawback was that this unit did not have air conditioning. BUT, it was mid July and there were only a couple days where we would have liked it. Mountain temperatures are much cooler. We took much of our own food, and glad we did. There are few restaurants nearby. If you are a nature lover, this is the place for you. Hiking, mountains, ski lifts, wildlife. Balackwater falls is only 15 minutes away. We had a great time.

  I don't normally write reviews, but Fern Gully was so terrific I wanted to take a moment to give it two thumbs up. It was extremely tasteful and comfortable for our two families (8 total) to spend a long ski weekend. The location is great... close to downhill and x-country skiing and it had everything we could have hoped for. Room to spread out, comfy beds, a working hottub, and extremely clean. Highly recommend

  Preston W from Alexandria, va recommends this vacation rental

  This was our second consecutive year as a group, vacationing to Davis and Timberline/Canaan Ski, and each year we fall more in love with the area. Coming from a very small town in the mountains in NC myself, it's like going back home for me. The customer service with Best of Canaan was, as usual top notch. Donna, Loraine and the rest of crew really do a wonderful, personable job.

  Everything about Fern Gully was perfect...great property, great location, and the staff at Best of Canaan, especially Donna, was very nice. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone. And the Canaan Valley is a wonderful area to visit...Blackwater Falls State Park, Canaan Valley State Park, and Dolly Sods Wilderness and Scenic Areas are all very close. Seneca Rocks, Seneca Caverns, Blackwater Outdoor Adventures (we rented kayaks), and the Allegheny Highlands Rail Trail are also relatively close. Overall a great vacation and a great rental property!

  Everything was fine with one exception. If I'm required todo dishes and wash towels you should at least proved the detergents necessary to do so. Also having to remove the trash is a little much to ask sinces the car was packed full and the trash had to ride in the front seat with us.
