Why the Owner Chose Canaan Valley
Buy yourself a beautiful home, advertise it, furnish it and then maintain it.
OK. Your schedule, or the budget make it hard to do that.
Fortunately, you have our home already set up for you to walk into.
Our home will provide you with all the creature comforts you crave, at a price you can afford.
In addition you will use the decks, the hot tub, the fireplace, the Master bedroom and the surounding area that will offer a contrast of lots of things to do; and a place to retreat to at the end of the day.
Relax and refresh to start over the next day.
Owning a a vacation home is a labor of love, and some of it is likely to rub off on you. In the meantime you get to "own" your little piece of Canaan Valley, for 3-5 or 7 days. More with FREE nights.
Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or a special place to take the whole family, a trip centered around a vacation that leaves you alive, refreshed and relaxed can be the trip of a lifetime.
We rented in Canaan for nearly 10 years before we bought our homes~we know what you are looking for.
We respect that your vacation is your special time. That is why we offer short term getaways, FREE nights, and Frequent Guest Discounts, to entice you to come back and do it again. You certainly can talk to us about owning a vacation rental; but, in the meantime, put some value on your time and the special people in your life that you want to spend that time with.
Contact us soon so someone else doesn't steal that special time

Bob, Thanks again for letting us rent your Aspenwoods home this past weekend. We had one of the most memorable trips ever. My aunt is not a winter person, but she thoroughly enjoyed the scenery as did the rest of us. I received the paypal payment cancellation and I guess you received my other check by now also. (I guess that was how I was supposed to do it). I hope your housekeeper found the place the same, if not better, after we left. We have always tried to treat things as if they were

I called at 8:00 p.m. Thursday night for a reservation the next day, A couple of E-mails later, directions and all the information we needed. It really could not have been any easier. The house is beautiful. The location is amazingly quiet. The hot tub is perfect. We had an exceptional three day relaxing weekend. Bob could not have been any nicer or accommodating. I have never been on vacation where it felt like at the end of the day we were home. We would get home, cook dinner, hit the hot tub for an hour or so, then make a fire and just sit. The black river falls and the horseback riding down the road were just the kind of no stress relaxing activities we were hoping for. I would recommend this to anyone and hope to make it back myself someday. Thank you again Bob for a great experience.
Owner response:Ben Your attitude and friendly nature, made it a pleasure to accomodate you. We love having people like you rent our home..come back soon in spite of tyhat long drive...just come for longer? :-) Whatever, remember we have a Frequent Guest Discount for Guests like you

Hello Bob, We were pleased with our stay. The location is easy to find and the directions were good. I did find the emails from you helpful, but somewhat hard to read through because of all the details. :-) The key box at the house was very convenient. All living areas were comfortable and clean - the kitchen was very well stocked. I loved the spacious interior and large windows. The front deck was very inviting and spacious. I only enjoyed the hot tub once but it is always a welcome treat to have.

While we encourage reviews from out Guests; we send a personal survey on 10 different aspects of the rental. It is how we improve. We in turn post their comments on VRBO.We have been successfully renting our home since 2000. Our Frequent Guest Discount is a testimony to our mantra~"WE WANT YOU BACK' REMEMBER (our business model) We don’t want to keep your security deposit. We rent homes…we work hard, marketing, and renting our 2 homes. Our Housekeeping and Maintenance is the best in the Valley. Our goal is to have you find everything in order; realize you got a hell of a deal; treat the home like you own it; have a wonderful time; THEN COME BACK AND DO IT AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. We hope you have the same goal…. HAVE FUN Owner Submitted Review

Shabby towels and worse ethics.
Guest: R&M818
(Leesburg, VA)
Date of Stay: 02/10/11
Review Submitted: 11/28/11
Convenient location. Good floorplan for families. Note the negative comments by others about cleanliness and threadbare towels. We agree with both criticisms. The place was dusty and the towels looked like yard sale rejects. Our biggest disappointment, however, dealt with the owner's ethics. We observed that one of the dining room chairs needed re-gluing and, since we didn't need it, we simply used the others. Because we did not report this seemingly minor detail to the owner, he retained the entire security deposit (but refused to provide evidence of any actual repair costs -- probably a few drops of wood glue) and sent us a series of insulting emails that accused us of causing the damage and questioned our honesty. While we long ago gave up on recovering the deposit and we waited several months to post this review, our memories of the entire experience remain very negative and we would not recommend this unit to friends or family. (Note that the owner has also misleadingly posted reviews here that pertain to his other Canaan property called "Interlude".)
Owner response:We call every Guests, first night and you made no mention of any problems..in fact you said everything was fine? Could it be you were upset that we did pass on the repair charge for the chair you folks broke? By the way we only charged a small part of your Security deposit..you should find a credit on your bill for the balance. We send a survey to every guest staying at our home... over the last year 94% said our homes are neat and orderly. As you read the other responses you will see we are relatively easy to deal with, and very responsive. We are trying to rent our home, why would we be any other way...AND, we offer a discount to get you to come back. But not if you break furniture. Our Housekeeper and My Wife goes thru the kitchen, the towels and the linens. I ask them to remove anything they wouldn't use themselves. That is why our percentages of approval are so high. I wish VRBO would incorporate a survey instead of individuals' being able to post whatever they wanted to avoid situations such as this!

I'm not sure of anything that could truly be improved. My husband loved speaking with Bob and found him to be extremely kind, interesting to speak with, and very helpful in suggesting attractions and places to visit. The personal touches extended to us through Bob's phone calls to the cabin made us feel like true guests. It was a wonderful experience, and we would highly recommend this home to others.
