This is a beautiful property with everything you might need for a wonderful stay. Fully equipped kitchen and bathrooms, cozy with beautiful decor and a warm fireplce. If you are looking for some hygge in winter and a cozy apres ski experience, this is your place!
Warm comfortable house with beautiful views and somewhat private. EV charger was available and made our stay logistics very easy. I’d love to go back there again. It’s so easy to drive down the road a short way and be anywhere in the valley. Everything worked perfectly and the kitchen allowed us to be able to prep all of our meals for the stay.
Amazing place, beautiful views, the entire place was well stocked, comfortable beds, incredibly cozy. Can't wait to stay here again! The owners went above and beyond during my stay, including shoveling walkways and snowblowing the driveway after it unexpectedly snowed. If you're considering somewhere to stay around Blackwater Falls, book this place and don't look back!

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so happy you enjoyed the comfort of the home and the beauty of the surroundings. Canaan Valley is such a special place to unwind and explore. I’m also glad the snow cleanup helped your stay go smoothly—weather can change quickly here, and we want guests to feel taken care of when that happens. You’re always welcome back.
The home had EVERYTHING we needed. Beautiful view from the deck and tastefully decorated. Owners top notch. We loved everything about this home and location. Biked on trails, Blackwater falls was breathtaking. Hiking and just sitting around the fire pit enjoying nature and all the fall colors. Hope to return next fall.

This house in the mountains is amazing. It is a perfect retreat. Not only are the surroundings beautiful, the house and property are meticulous. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to make a gourmet meal. Lizz, Tom and Daisy are top notch hosts and made us feel so welcomed. I would definitely stay here again.

Tom and Lizz went out of their way to make our stay in Canaan Valley exceptionally pleasant, comfortable, and memorable in their peaceful and ideally situated rental cabin. It was the best VRBO property we've ever stayed in, with clear and seamless communication throughout and everything we could possibly need provided for us, including complementary firewood. We look forward to staying there again in the future! Many thanks, Tom and Lizz (and Daisy)!

Thank you! It’s so good to know you enjoyed the house and the area. You picked a beautiful spring weekend for your celebrations! Please come again.
77 in Canaan was one of the best places we have ever stayed. Lizz and Tom were wonderful hosts who were close by if we needed anything. The house had every amenity you could ever want from dog accessories to a teapot. I loved all the little touches such as the small flower bouquet and the welcome postcard that was waiting for us on the table when we arrived. We will definitely stay here again when we are in the area.
This was our second year in a row coming to 77. Will be back again and highly recommend. Hosts are great, the views are pure serenity, and the house is perfectly located and well stocked. Thanks!!

Thank you! We were so happy to host you a second time. And glad everything, including some misty morning views of Dolly Sods, was to your liking this year too. Please come again.
Absolutely breathtaking view and property set up. Everything in the house was clean and cozy. We made ourselves right at home, grilled dinner, had morning coffee and did some fresh air yoga on the porch. Our Dogs loved scoping out the smells and sleeping in the sun on the porch and we all enjoyed a firepit under the super bright stars on a perfect night. Blackwater Falls was nearby for the humans and dogs to get some steps in and scenic falls for photos. Lizz was very accessible and friendly with information. Can't wait to comeBack agin! Highly recommend.

You’re always welcome back!
This was our second time staying in this lovely home and it was just as fantastic as before! The hostess stocked everything in the home that you could possibly want or need. The home has great views, lots of parking, quiet atmosphere, and cozy doesn’t even begin to describe it. My family and I love this home.

Thank you! So glad you had a good mountain weekend. We love knowing that the house and location provide what guests need to relax and play. Please come again!
Our family of five humans and one dog spent a fantastic four nights here. From the listing, to the communication, to every aspect of the space itself, it is clear that the owners have the guests’ care, safety, and well-being at top of mind. Everything we needed or wanted was always right at hand, exactly where we would have put it ourselves. A very comfortable, relaxing, and stress-free stay.
77 at Canaan feels like a home not a rental. Spotless and charming. The home has anything you could possibly need, great location, near skiing, hiking and eateries. I slept through the night which doesn’t happen too often. Looking forward to our return soon!

About the host
Hosted by Lizz Frost Yocum
After 20+ years of international living and work, Lizz and Tom Yocum, along with Daisy, their dog, moved back to where they first met: Canaan Valley. They opened 77 in Canaan to share this beautiful part of the world with friends, family and kindred spirits.
Tom is a writer-editor and publisher of the Tucker County Observer, the independent community newspaper for the Potomac Highlands. He is also a cross-country ski instructor and a landscaper par excellence. Skiing in the valley since the 1980s, Tom served as a paramedic on both the Canaan Valley and National Ski Patrol and was the first PSIA telemark/alpine instructor in West Virginia. His knowledge of the area is extensive. Ask him about trails, local history, or his latest fascinations: moss and worms.
Lizz is the owner of the Canaan Valley Flower Company, which is dedicated to bringing the beauty of flowers and the benefits of gardens to people of all ages and abilities. After a career in international public health and behavior change communications, she earned a certificate in horticultural therapy and began flower farming. Mountain-grown flowers and cut herbs are available locally, and you may see her gathering wildflowers for bouquets along the roadside during your stay.
Daisy is a Tibetan Terrier mix from Dakar, Senegal. After eight months of COVID lockdown, she traded the beach for the mountains and joined Lizz and Tom on their journey to West Virginia. She has since grown a winter coat and become an awesome trail buddy.
Why they chose this property
Canaan Valley, Tucker County, and the surrounding West Virginia mountains, valleys, rivers, and towns offer so much to see and do.
77 in Canaan is in a great location. Without even leaving the house, guests can enjoy stunning panoramic views of Canaan Valley, Dolly Sods, Timberline Mountain, the Canaan Valley Wildlife Refuge, Canaan Valley Ski Area, and beyond.
State parks, trails, golf, ski areas, and the towns of Davis and Thomas are all within a ten- to fifteen-minute drive. The Canaan Valley Wildlife Refuge is even closer. A half hour of winding mountain roads can take guests to the banks of the Cheat River, the Monongahela National Forest, and countless remote, rugged beauty spots.
Music lovers can easily get to the summertime Mountainside Music Series, Pickin’ in Parsons, and the Purple Fiddle — or stay put to play or listen from the deck or moon garden.
There are maps, brochures, guidebooks, magazines, and other information throughout 77 in Canaan for guests to browse and use during their stay.
What makes this property unique
Drawing on their own extensive global travel experiences, Lizz and Tom aim to make guests feel welcome, relaxed, comfortable and eager to explore the area from the moment they arrive.
Lizz and Tom know what it is like to be somewhere new or to come back to somewhere familiar, ready for a break, a recharge, maybe even an adventure, and still need some creature comforts. With this in mind, they have set up and stocked 77 in Canaan so that guests can settle in, kick back, rest well and get on with their fun. The kitchen is ready for real cooking, the spaces are clearly organized, and the house is stocked with the practical things, from clear instructions to small conveniences, that guests appreciate having on hand.
Year-round, the wifi is 150+ Mbps for digital nomads and those who just need to briefly check-in, while the BBQ area, picnic table, front deck and fire pit are places to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
All over the world, Lizz and Tom have enjoyed working with local artists and celebrating the nature, beauty and culture around them. Inside, 77 in Canaan is no exception. The hand forged railing, photos, prints, and textiles in the house have all been commissioned or selected to celebrate local beauty and talent.
Across the seasons, the property reveals the special pleasures and distinct beauty of Canaan Valley.
In winter, morning coffee comes with a sunrise view of the slopes. After a day on the mountain (or a cozy afternoon binge-watching), guests return to apres-ski watching night skies from the deck, warm up by the fireplace, or gather around the fire pit under the stars.
In summer, the property is in full bloom with nature friendly flowers. Hummingbirds live in trees by the house. Birds and butterflies can be seen feeding on wildflowers, in the flower beds and the moon garden.
Leaf-peepers are spoiled for choice in the autumn.
And, finally, the night sky - the moon, Milky Way, satellites and galaxies – is truly spectacular!
