This was our second stay at Jim’s house. The location and views from the hot tub can’t be beat. The house is very clean, comfortable, and well stocked. I’m sure we’ll be back for a third stay soon!
The most important things we wanted in our chalet was a dog friendly, king bed, wood burning fireplace, a hot tub and a great view. This property hit it out of the park! I would highly recommend it, and would come back.
Jim was an amazing host! We had a wonderful 5 day stay in a beautiful home that’s packed with so many extras. The location is great if you’re looking for a nice quiet getaway. Beds were more comfortable then our own and the kitchen was top of the line! The fireplace and hot tub were so relaxing. We will definitely be staying there again for sure.
Always an extra special experience staying in Canaan Valley at Jim’s properties , always great communication and places are well appointed with the luxuries you might not expect in a rural setting!
This was a perfect place for our family of 4 (and dog!). The house was very comfortable with great views of the mountains. We appreciated the quiet location and easy access to Dolly Sods. We enjoyed all of the amenities to enjoy the indoor and outdoor spaces: fire pit, corn hole, fireplace, foosball , darts, and hot tub!
We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was well equipped with everything we needed. It also was filled with neat items from all over the world that we found quite interesting. We enjoyed using the fire pit and the hot tub in the evenings. Highly recommend!!!
We really loved our time here. The hot tub and view were spectacular, and the kitchen had more than we would have needed. The rooms were comfortable, and the host was very responsive and helpful to offer suggestions for things to do. The property felt very private, and was part of a very quiet community. There’s plenty of wood outside by the fire pit for great fires in the evening as you enjoy the sunset after a day of hiking. Overall, I’d happily decide to stay there again.
Beautiful secluded location in gated community. House had everything. Took short walks set on the porch and played a lot of cornhole. Soaked up the quietness
