Ski getaway

We went for a short ski weekend in the area. We had a blast! The house was perfectly located for everything that we wanted to do. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and the couch was super cozy for cuddling at the end of the day. Would love to come back when it's warm for some summer activities!

Great host!

Unfortunately we could not complete our stay at the property. We had car trouble on the way out and with the prediction of a lot of snow we decided not to risk it. However, the host, James, was so helpful in letting us know how the property is taken care of during big snow storms. We felt very comfortable knowing we would be taken care of while enjoying the winter wonderland of West Virginia. We hope to plan another trip out to see this cute property very soon!

Cozy and quaint

This was a nice spot for our little group, very comfortable, cozy and kid-friendly. It was equipped with everything we needed for our two-night stay. The location was gorgeous and very convenient to Canaan Valley and Timberline ski resorts.

About the host

Hosted by Jake Mello

Hi, I'm Jake.
My wife and I love traveling and camping, which led us to falling in love with this area. We want to provide a wonderful, comfortable base camp or remote work getaway for others to come enjoy our little slice of the great outdoors.

Why they chose this property

We've always loved coming to the WV Highlands, especially Dolly Sods, and have camped all over the area. When we had the opportunity to buy a place, we knew where we'd look! We absolutely fell in love with the location and some of the interesting quirks of the old post office (we're still working on verifying when exactly it was used as that!) and were lucky enough to be able to purchase it from the owner of the one-of-a-kind cross-country ski area, White Grass. We've loved getting to know the neighbors and reading up about the history of the area. If you're curious, we've left a copy of the local history books in the office.

What makes this property unique

This house is ideally set up for three couples, two small families, or a large/extended family. It has great winter access with a mostly flat driveway leading to a plowed school bus route. 4WD is not necessary to come have a great winter experience! In the summer, the cool air flows down the hill to the creek, perfect for summer evenings around the fire pit. Our boys love exploring Big Run, and the sound of the water flowing in the channel is very relaxing on the back porch. We keep adding things that we
