  • My fiancée and I, along with her sister and husband, rented this cabin for the first week in October. The fall colors were beautiful and there was plenty to keep us busy. We enjoyed horseback riding, canoing, ski lift rides and mountain biking among other things. The cabin setting was beautiful and we had no problems with the amenities. Some evenings were spent by the campfire or grilling and relaxing in the hot tub. If your timing was good, you could even catch a plane ride and view the scenic Canaan valley. Dr. Jones was very accommodating with regards to dates of stay and directions to the cabin. It was only a five hour drive from Blacklick, just outside Columbus, and I look forward to returning this winter for some snowboarding. Special thanks to the Jones Family. Sincerely, The Campbells

  • We stayed at Carminden for a ladies "get-away" weekend. The house had everything we needed & the hot tub was a great bonus! We spent our days exploring all the area has to offer and our nights relaxing by the campfire. Floyd was a pleasure to work with and we simply had an unforgettable weekend!

  • Rent a place that the owner cares about your vacation! We stayed at the house during the president weekend back in February 2009. Before our arrival, Dr. Jones kept the email flowing to make sure we were prepared for the trip. After we were there, Dr. Jones checked on us making sure we were comfortable and had everything that we needed. The house is decorated nicely and comfortable – making us feeling like we were at home. It is a short drive to either Timberline or Canaan Valley ski resorts from the house. The friendly neighborhood dogs would stop by visiting us whenever we got back from the slops and kept us entertained for a while. After that, we would enjoy the hot tub to relax our sore muscle from a day of hard work on the slops. Cooking is so easy with the fully stocked kitchen. After the dinner, we would relax in the living room to watch TV or just play a game (games are supplied in the house). We enjoyed our stay! We will definitely rent this house again in the future.

  • We rented Carminden Cottage for 3 nights for a weekend of snowboarding at Timberline. We enjoyed every minute of the stay, from the cottage to the mountain. The hot tub was a huge plus, since everyone was sore from snowboarding. While there, my best friend proposed to his girlfriend on the mountain. She said yes of course! They will remember this trip for the rest of their lives. If we get another opportunity to come out here again, we will definitely stay here! Thanks Floyd!

  • We just spent 4 wonderful days playing in the snow at Carminden Cottage. Thanks to Mother Nature for providing the snow to play in! This cottage is very comfortable and conveniently located to access all kinds of fun, winter activities: downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, ice skating, sledding, snow-shoeing. We did them all! We enjoyed a great night of food and music at the Purple Fiddle. And we luxuriated in the hot tub at the end of each day. Many thanks to Floyd for working so hard to get the hot tub back up and running before we got there! We really appreciated all of your personal attention. We hope to be back again before long!

  • My husband and I rented the cottage for our 10th anniversary and had a beautiful, wonderful, relaxing time. Floyd spent time, money, and care to add extra special touches, including a bottle of champagne chilling in the fridge upon our arrival. The cottage itself is in a beautiful location, it's comfortable, homey, peaceful, and not too big for just the two of us. We loved being able to totally relax, cook some nice dinners in, and just enjoy the scenery right outside the door. Floyd took care to address all of our questions and concerns. We definitely want to go back. This was the first vacation in years that felt LONGER than it actually was. Thanks, Floyd, for offering such a nice affordable spot for a long weekend.

  • We stayed at Carminden Cottage for 5 days for our 20th anniversary and rarely have we been so refreshed. We are self-employed and have 6 kids so we look for places off the beaten path to soak up some serenity. Carminden Cottage fit the bill perfectly! There are only a few neighbors. The cottage looks over beautiful fields to the mountains. There is a hot tub on the back porch from which you can enjoy the stars at night. There is a gas fireplace that turns on with the touch of a button and the most comfortable king size bed. We reveled in the beauty and the silence. A wonderful place for a quiet getaway.

  • We had a relaxing time at Carminden Cottage, it made our six night stay a great vacation to unwind enjoy the quiet location, it was nice to see that there was a place to build a camp fire in the evenings. If you want to get away from the hot summer days this is the place to go, the warmest day we had was 82 and nights got down to 50, no need for air conditioning here.

  • The house was beautiful and in a great location. It was close to numerous restaurants and state parks. The jetted tub was awesome, the kitchen was roomy and the gas fire place really made the place seem homey on a cold, blustery winter evening. Our 2 dogs loves the large back yard and the local great hiking.
