About this property

Lovely 10 bedroom home offers the perfect place for your next gathering.

Mr. Webster tells us that a lair is a secret retreat or a base of operations...a hideaway. Well, that pretty well describes it. The mighty Mountain Lair with its 10 bedrooms comfortably sleeping 20 is the perfect place to rally the troops on your next mountain retreat. Inside there is something for everyone with 10 TV's, a pool table and bar, free WIFI, DVD players , 2 fireplaces, and no less than 3 laundry centers! Visitors in spring, summer and fall will love taking the festivities outside to enjoy dining on the deck or relaxing under one of the gazebos with family and friends. This is the perfect place to plan a family reunion or weekend warrior getaway.

Wonderful Home
We would recommend this home/lodge to any family company event or gathering. It is clean, beautifully decorated, comfortable furniture and beds, and the kitchen is stocked i with every appliance that you can think of. Last the outside decks and swing were very enjoyable in the evening.

Outstanding Rental
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at the Best of Canaan "cabin" (it's so bug it's difficult to refer to it as a cabin) was nothing but great. Being told ahead of time that the cabin was well stocked did not prepare me for just how well stocked it was. If you need to cook it, bake it, slice it (they have a meat slicer) you have what you need. A chef wouldn't know what to do with all of the kitchen equipment.Moving on to location. It couldn't be in a more centralized location based on the local attractions. Minutes from Davis, Thomas, and Blackwater falls. Short drives to caverns, Seneca Rocks, and Dolly Sods Wilderness.The cabin was clean and well stocked with towels. The check in was hassel-less took literally 1 minute.I could go on all day but in short I highly recommend this cabin and will probably go back.

Family ski trip
We enjoyed our stay very much at this property. It provides direct access to the slopes, it is spacious and accommodating to multiple families. The layout provides privacy as well as a great, very well equipped kitchen, a beautiful large dining room and living room. Unfortunately the representative of the management company was unfriendly and not accomodating. It left a sour taste in our mouth, but I would rent this place again at a heartbeat if I wouldn't have to deal with the same person again. I plan to address the issue directly with the owners.

Family reunion in the mountains.
8 adult siblings and significant others drove from 4 states to stay in this gorgeous house. More than enough bedrooms and bathrooms. Big and extremely well stocked kitchen allowed for easy meal prep. Large table we fit 14 adults around. Excellent hot tub. Great location. 15 to 20 minutes to Davis, Blackwater Falls, and Thomas.

Golf/Fishing trip
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Second year in a row for this house visited by a group of 12 fishermen and golfers. The house is well outfitted with nothing really missing or needed. The amount of refrigerator/freezer space is awesome and the kitchen has everything. There are two maintenance issues that we reported last year that it's hard to believe have not been addressed. First, the pool table is atrocious and, as reported last year, is in desperate need of refinishing. Second, the ceiling fan in the upstairs sitting room is not usable and needs replaced. It makes huge noise when run. Please repair/replace these items.

Amazing house!!
My family stayed here January 2023, and it is the most perfect house for a big group! The ski in ski out is so convenient and located very close to the lift! The small amenities you usually don’t get at other places was great and the beds were the comfiest I’ve ever had staying away from home. A short drive from Davis if your group wants to go into town to Stumptown or get some burritos at Hellbender! I’ve been coming to Davis for 5-6 years now and this has been my favorite house!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 4th time at this property. Last time there were some condition issues but they were all resolved this time. The only problem we encountered was one bed didn't have a headboard. It looked like it had just broken and not yet been replaced. We could have used more forks because we didn't have enough dinner forks for 20 people. We highly recommend Mountain Lair.
