The property was great for our family with elementary aged kids plus grandparents. Sleeps 6 comfortably. Hot tub was great! Especially after a day of skiing. The location was wonderfully close to the ski resorts.

The property and surrounding areas were beautiful. The chalet was very clean, well stocked amd super cute. The lake was wonderful with access to kayaks and canoes to make a fun trip even better.

This chalet was the perfect size for our group of 5 we had. The little pond was the perfect size to relax by and spend some time on the water. Loved the paths around the pond to explore, perfect location for state parks in the area! Would recommend this to anyone, host was responsive and helped us with the damper on the fireplace!

We wanted to stay in the mountains for a different kind of vacation. We had a great experience. The check in was easy, the lady was very pleasant and helpful with ideas and suggestions. The house was magnificent. So neat and clean. It was like being at home without the noise and neighbors. We enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit, and grilling! We will definitely stay there again!

Great location and views but low cleanliness levels
The location is fantastic. Communication was great and easy. The place is gorgeous but requires a lot more cleaning and hygiene. I’d stay here again but I would urge the managers to have higher standards for cleaning.
My wife and I stayed for our anniversary weekend. The property is great. It is small, but it suited us well for our purposes. The view of the small lake and mountainside was wonderful. We woke up one morning to the snow-covered ground and the moon reflecting off the frozen lake—it was beautiful. The property manager was very responsive when we had an issue with there being too much chlorine in the hot tub—they had the issue fixed the same day I raised the issue with them. When we checked out and forgot some clothes that were hanging in the closet, the property manager promptly mailed them back to us which my wife, especially, greatly appreciated. I would definitely stay here again if/when visiting the Cannan Valley.

Nothing like the posting on Vrbo
The house/cabin was smaller than the pictures. It has a 70's smell to the house and 70's outdated house. There is not a lake on the property. It is a pond. There are other houses and office is right next door. This house is not secluded. Very disappointing. Stayed only one night and had it reserved for 3 nights. Asked for a late check out at 12:00 pm and was not accommodating.
This was truly a gem! The best part was the lil guy that delivers firewood, what a gentleman! I can’t comment on the bed, I sleep on an air mattress due to spinal injuries. But sleeping in front of the fireplace was so romantic. We did have a visitor in the ceiling. A few taps on the ceiling and it was gone, not to be heard again. We will be back! The lake was full and heavenly. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

Not worth the money.
This 1974 chalet was our winter home base for a 3 day weekend. The space is cozy but lacks modernity. Little appears to have been updated within the past 20 years. The fireplace was wonderful, but we found the kitchen lackluster and small. The home is centrally located in the valley and sits on a little pond. We found several unappetizing bug traps. If you have a chance we wound not recommend spending your money visiting this property. We would recommend the owners reduce the cost.

Not worth the money.
Very different from the pictures. The chalet is not clean at all. The kitchen was so sticky. The whole place is Extremely out dated. The "lake" is a glorified pond very small and don't let the pictures fool you it is not secluded the reality office is right beside the chalet and very close to the main road. And if you do decided to go to the pond to kayak take your own life jackets the ones they provide are in a bin uncovered by the water and covered with bugs I was stung by a wasp trying to put one on. It's not worth 100$ let alone 600. Very disappointed we love staying in Davis every year but never this place again.
We showed up on a very cold evening to this sweet chalet, and went about making a delicious dinner and got a good nights' sleep. Unfortunately when we woke up the pipes were frozen beneath the house, so the toilet and sink were both clogged/overflowing. Our kind hosts were quick to respond and moved us over into another (really nice!) place about 15 minutes away. I was a little surprised that a ski chalet wouldn't be more weatherproofed, so it's a little funny to give this experience 5 stars, but everyone we dealt with was incredibly kind and responsive and accommodating and we ended up in such a beautiful house for the weekend, super close to the cross country ski place we were spending time at.

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you had a great stay. -The Canaan Realty Team
The pictures of this property certainly make it seem like a chalet secluded in the woods on a lake. The reality is that you are surrounded by other houses, the rental office is literally right next to you, and there is a ton of road noise. Not at all secluded. In addition, the chairs on the front deck are not comfortable enough to spend any kind of time there, and the twin beds are too hard to sleep on.
That being said, this would be an awesome place to vacation for a family with small kids. The closeness of the water activities to the house, etc. I would return here with small or school age kids in a heart beat. Definitely needs some improvement on the accuracy of the location and on some furnishings though.
