Great place to stay for the night, located very close to downtown Davis and Blackwater falls! It was cozy and just what we needed. The only thing that could be improved is the water temperature of the shower is very tempermental, as in you have to get it exactly in the right spot or its too hot or too cold. This is minor but something to note. We would definitely stay here again. The hostest was very responsive and I would give her 10 stars if possible. Thanks!

Ski trip

Cute little place! Easy to access and short drive into Davis and Thomas. It snowed very hard our first night there, so the parking lot was a bit tricky to navigate in the snow as it wasn’t plowed, but otherwise an enjoyable stay!

Close to Everything

About a mile to Blackwater Falls and about the same to town. Very close to the gas station and a pizza place. The unit has everything you need, but if there’s anything you forgot, you aren’t far from the grocery store and a Dollar General! Great communication with the owner and her local person. Might be cozy for more than 2 people, but it was a nice place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Shelley Vandiford

Host profile image
I am a lover of nature. I enjoy strenuous hikes through the mountains and casual strolls on the beach. My ideal vacation is one that removes distractions and crams my family together in as small a space as possible, think a tent. I enjoy meeting new people, and I believe everyone has something to contribute and should be treated with dignity and respect. Kindness and sincerity drive success no matter the arena. After serving in the vacation rental industry for more than 12 years, I decided to purchase homes in places I love with the idea of sharing them with others. I enjoy the energy of the hospitality industry, and I want to help others enjoy new places or discover new sights in familiar places while feeling at ease in comfortable accommodations.

Why they chose this property

At 3,520 feet elevation, Davis is the highest incorporated town in the state. It is located along the Blackwater River a few miles north of Canaan Valley, the highest sizable valley east of the Mississippi.

This is the closest home rental to Blackwater Falls State Park.

What makes this property unique

This space is cozy and easy to settle into no matter the length of your stay. A well-equipped kitchen allows you a budget-friendly option as you can save money on dining out.
