Mom, dog lover, outdoors lover and very grateful person who knows the "old fashion" value of the golden rule. Ski/race team mom/gymnastics mom. Drowning in gear mom.

I first discovered Canaan Valley when I went X-country skiing here as a very young adult in 1989. At the time, the only other place I had X-country skied was in a thick European forest out of a Brother Grimm's fairy tale - Perlacher Forest, around Munich, Germany. I was excited to find that Blackwater Falls State Park, when covered in snow, evoked the same feeling. I was also excited to discover that Canaan Valley has the most natural snow fall of anywhere that is a weekend trip from from the Washington DC-Baltimore area. I went back every winter after that and dreamed of someday having my own place "in the Valley." Fast forward to 2005 when the dream became a reality. Upon purchase, Skier's View was in not great condition, but a thoughtful renovation, redecoration and removal of heavy window treatments did wonders! Fast forward and my son who has spent precious time here appreciates the great outdoors and is on ski team in winter. (Or race team, to be more accurate.) Happy to share the beauty, joy and tranquility of this piece of "almost heaven" with our guests and thrilled with all the improvements that have occurred in the area over the last 20-ish years, including the new Timberline Mountain. While we are not "on the mountain" we enjoy seeing the runs of both Timberline and Canaan across from us, and also enjoy that it is a much quicker run into Davis or Thomas from our location.

Fabulous views, central location to Valley fun. This home is not decorated like a rental -- while "rustic" it has a lot of high-end features you will not typically find in a rental home, like quality made custom furnishings, pendleton blankets, heiloom/antique finishes, etc. I get my best sleep in this home, thanks to the dark night sky, peace and quiet, and fresh, cool mountain air. Plus, the outdoor activities probably help! In addition to the great outdoor experiences in the area, note that the towns of Davis and Thomas have a lot to offer for towns of their size, in the way of visual arts, music, food, drink and seasonal events. (The fourth of July fireworks and parade are really really special.) There are a number of artists studios, as well as the acclaimed Purple Fiddle café/music venue in Thomas, part of the "mountain music trail." Over the years, this little piece of West Virginia has been growing and thriving in a very positive way -- more local shops, many sellers of local beef, honey, spirits, etc.; quaint Tip Top café in Thomas with Friday grass-fed beef burger night, and a very special "locals" bar at the Billy Motel. And thanks to Perfect North for putting $10 million into Timberline Mountain!! Proud to be a teeny tiny part of the invigoration of this beautiful part of West Virginia.
