Celebrating a 60th in Davis!
Two couples for a few days in Davis and a great stay at a fantastic property! The space was perfect for the four of us. We cooked most meals in and the kitchen was well equipped. We also enjoyed sitting on the deck for cocktails and using the hot tub when the weather was cooler. The fireplace inside made for cozy movie watching nights. You can tell a lot of care has gone into this property and we appreciated staying there. Would highly recommend!!

Excellent experience!
This rental exceeded my expectations as it was well appointed with eclectic decorations from around the world, high-end cookware in a fully stocked kitchen, exceptionally comfortable beds, 4K TV and sound system, and breathtaking views. We visited over MLK weekend when a snow storm was expected. The driveway was plowed twice (AWD or 4WD vehicles are necessary); the teenagers loved the hot tub and it was convenient to everything we wanted to do. I loved Jim’s maximalist decorating style as there was many fascinating things at which to marvel. Overall, we have zero negative comments as again, this exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Jim!

Cozy Canaan Cabin
Make sure you have 4 wheel drive if you plan to stay during Winter! The drive up to the house with snow is legit! Excellent spot if you want a more private escape but to also be close to Timberline, White Grass and the towns of Davis and Thomas. House backed up to Dolly Sods Wilderness Area so would also be ideal for hiking in the warmer months.Plenty if cookware and the amenities were all as described and in working order.

Peaceful getaway
My husband and I had a lovely stay at Jim's place. We had our two dogs with us as well. The views were stunning as we were there in late November and it was already snowing. The fireplace made our entire stay very cozy. The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed going on walks and runs and visited the town of Davis and had a great time at Stumptown Ales. We will definitely visit again!

Perfect getaway
It was peaceful and quiet, just what we needed for a weekend away without the kids. The decor was unique and gave the place an authentic and cozy feel. Wish the leaves hadn’t fallen already during our stay but the view was beautiful regardless. I highly recommend traveling a little further out of town for groceries, the local supermarket was pretty sad.

Peace in the valley!
We have been visiting Canaan Valley most of our adult lives. Sometimes we stay in Davis, but most of the time we stay in the Timberline community. Jim’s property is awesome! So peaceful and accommodating. Everything you need and then some! One of the best VRBOs. If you have never been to the area Jim provides tons of great, helpful information. Thanks Jim!
