Canaan Valley

"The instructions to the cabin were very helpful as I knew there was no way my GPS would find the place. When we arrived the cabin was clean and absolutely charming! It even impressed the teenagers and they are a tough sell. The place was clean, well-stocked and cozy. My kids (despite being teens) loved the "cubbies" downstairs and spent most of their time down there. I especially liked having a washing machine and dryer. We want to return as soon as we can. Pipestem State Park is gorgeous and we made good use of the hiking trails and the indoor pool. I've recommended the place to several friends. This trip really made our spring break despite 4 inches of snow falling our last day there. Even that was beautiful!"

"Last month we enjoyed a 3 night stay at the Black Bear Cabin in Pipestem. We were blessed with the peak of Fall splendor and all it's colors. It was a perfect time for my husband to return to his West Virginia roots and celebrate another Birthday. The Black Bear cabin is very lovely and nestled in the woods. It is tastefully furnished yet comfortable. I was grateful not to have to bring linens. Additionally, we appreciated amenities such as a pellet stove, outside fire pit, porch swing, washer & dryer and an ionic hairdryer. The kitchen offers modern appliances and cookware. It was great having access to the manicured grounds of Pipestem Park. I recommend the breakfast buffet at the Lodge - the food was excellent for a modest price. We enjoyed a hike and paddle boat rental on the lake. The sky-lift tram down to the Creek Lodge and Restaurant provided a spectacular view and it was fun. The journey along Skyline Drive was phenomenal. My pictures are incredible. Do not leave home without a camera! The Owners (Lisa and Hans) answered all my questions within a reasonable amount of time. VRBO also did a nice job on accurate presentation. Above all, it was a blessing to relax in beautiful surroundings and take in plenty of fresh air Loved The Bears!! Mila and Keith (Robert)"
