Our stay for this visit was good, the only issue was the AC. It was working however it was warm the entire stay. I think the coolest it got was 74 in the cabin. We are not sure if this was due to the weather being warmer than it was last year when we stayed. Other than this the cabin is nice .

Great stay

Great location, loved the house ! Only down side was that the mattresses were equivalent to summer camp mattresses. If you don't like firm mattresses, bring your own foam toppers and the stay will be perfect!

Quiet Private

This property is at the end of a quiet road. Easy to find, quiet and private. A short drive to Blackwater Falls State Park, Davis and Thomas, and/or a gorgeous walk/hike just right outside your door. Everything was clean and there were plenty of linens. The only negative is the approach from the driveway to the entry steps, it's muddy, and needs a sidewalk or path. The management is stellar and responsive I cannot stress more how wonderful the management is for this property.

Celebrate family

The property was extremely close to my husband dads, which is why we chose the location. The house was very nice and clean lots of room granite we only sleep there we stayed at his dads most of the time. The beds we not so comfortable, which we found very surprising for a what seems fairly new cabin. The couch on the other hand was extremely nice and very comfortable. Other than the beds we have absolutely no complaints on the property. Oh one last thing there are no stepping stones or walking path to the front door which was a tad difficult due to all the rain we got while we was there.

Aurora/President's Day Weekend

Have always had great experiences with Best of Canaan management. Easy check in process. House was very clean. Four wheel drive is necessary if snow is present-fairly steep and narrow road to house. Great kitchen,living room and deck with great views. Short drive to ski resorts, state parks and the town of Davis. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Veiw

Nice, quiet, secluded. Just 5 miles from town. Only 1 other house close by. 4 wheel drive a must. The sunrise from the deck was amazing. It was just the 2 of us but there 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms, fireplace and fire pit outside.

Peaceful stay in Tucker County

We had a wonderful stay in Tucker County. House is located at the top of a mountain. It was so peaceful and quiet up there. The house was very clean and roomy. You can watch flying squirrels from the campfire area in backyard at night which was really neat! The mattresses could use a refresh as they were a little worn and not the most comfortable but that didn’t stop us from getting a good nights sleep there. I would recommend having 4 wheel drive to get there as the roads are mountain roads and are windy and steep. House is close to Blackwater Falls, and Cannan Valley State Park for lots of hiking with incredible views. We particularly enjoyed hiking in Dolly Sods which is about 50 minutes from the home. The views here were incredible! I would definitely recommend this property to the nature lovers looking for a quiet getaway!

Great views!

We enjoyed our stay at the Aurora house! The house had everything we needed and kitchen was well equipped (we cooked at the house for most meals). We loved the views from the deck--it was especially nice at sunrise. It's also a great location for exploring Canaan Valley and Blackwater Falls State Park. We would definitely stay here again.
