Canaan Valley is a most unusual place. "Little Canada" old-timers called it. The highest valley east of Denver 3600 ft elevation; so much snow in winter that the road use to close for weeks. More deer than people by a long shot and a real feeling that you are someplace unique and unspoiled like Yellowstone except much smaller and still virtually unknown. Canaan Valley hosts two state parks, rustic and beautiful Blackwater Falls State Park and the newer Canaan Valley Resort which has an excellent 18 hole golf course. Plus there are two downhill ski areas in the valley; the largest is Timberline and the smaller Canaan Valley which now also offers tubing. Also the popular White Grass cross country ski area and miles of trails in surrounding Monongahela National Forest.
Other places of interest include majestic Seneca Rocks, the pastoral Amish farm country in Oakland Maryland, and the rugged Dolly Sods and Otter Creek Wilderness areas.
Northpoint Cedar Home Community overlooks the Valley
We own a vacation home at Northpoint in Canaan Valley which we call Hummingbird Ridge. We bought our house because it had a great view of the valley both winter and summer. Another feature guests like about our house is that it is only three steps from our private driveway to the main floor; nice when lugging in your groceries or skis. You may take a tour of Canaan Valley area and our vacation home on our web site. Check out what our guests said about the area. We offer location maps of Tucker County, West Virginia and our ski areas plus information about what's happening now as well as new businesses that opened there like The Purple Fiddle and or our favorite Italian kitchen Sirianni's.
On-Site Amenities
Hummingbird Ridge has over 600 s/f of decks on two levels plus a large new hot tub. Winter vacationers can view the lights from both ski areas from our dining area. Summer visitors can enjoy the cool clean mountain air and escape the heat and noise of the cities.
NEW for 2010, our own wireless WIFI high speed Internet connection and 10 channels of HBO.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1995
My wife and I are retired but active landlords. Our tenants over the years have become some of our best friends and we work hard to make that happen. For instance we pay all the costs associated with having full time rental agent and local service available should something need fixing. That helps guarantee you have a hassle free vacation. We own our properties outright without mortgages so we can afford to do this and remain competitive.
Why the Owner Chose Canaan Valley
Easy access to the State Parks and a great all-season view of the Valley.
The Unique Benefits of this Chalet
Hummingbird Ridge shares the lower part of Hikers Challenge Road with just 2 other homes so it is very private. You can watch the skiers at Timberline from our Dining Room table or our double decks. During less crowded times you can enjoy our private hot tub and see small herds of deer pass by.
