Peaceful retreat
Had a such a great time at Jim's chalet. Location is amazing and the property had fantastic touches all throughout and was so comfortable. We loved watching movies on the incredible entertainment system and the kitchen had everything needed to make great meals at home. Communication with Jim is outstanding. Would love to stay 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!

So peaceful!
We absolutely loved our stay. The cabin is so eclectic and we enjoyed looking at all the things from the owner’s travels. It was stocked with everything we needed to cook, including lots of spices. We so enjoyed the hot tub while it snowed. Truly magical! Owner was very responsive as well. We hope to be back someday.

Wonderful place with amazing views
Our experience with our stay was absolutely wonderful, The property is cery well maintained and to be honest the pictures are great but if you have a opportunity to see it in person it will blow you away! There is a lot of treasures inside the home from the owners travels of the world and we both found it to be just incredible! The mountain ciews are to die for and if you like to hike this is the place to be 👏 I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a beautiful get away with peace in quiet.

Fantastic in every way!
Jim is an amazing host - from the great communications to the very thoughtful touches, this was one of the best stays! The location is great for exploring the area but also perfect to hang out, share meals and relax as well. We enjoyed playing foosball, the jacuzzi was awesome after hiking nearby and between the grills, firepit and fully stocked kitchen, we had everything we needed for a perfect weekend . Jim was super nice and we appreciated his clear instructions and great recommendations. We are already talking about returning next fall!

Beautiful Weekend in this Home
We had a great time staying here for a long weekend. We had never been to Canaan in the summer, and we will definitely return. This was our second time staying in this home, and it was fantastic as before. So many travel treasures to enjoy from Jim’s work trips. Home is so private yet close to amenities. All ages had fun!

Comfortable and Private
This home is secluded, a great place to spend vacation with family. We could see only one other house, and only at night if their porch light was on. The interior is nicely arranged with plenty of space to cook food. Hot tub adds something to enjoy while the weather is poor 🙂

Well equipped, beautiful, private
Lots of interesting stuff. Well balanced hot tub. Very nice covered and open decks with good furniture and flowers. Level access from car to cabin. Good TVs, beds, towels, kitchen. No other cabins close. I was looking for close access to Dolly Sods and there is a long intense uphill walk to the sods from this cabin, but there is a better trailhead within Timberline but you have to drive couple miles to it. Nice.

Almost Heaven
Loved it! A great covered deck with a view of the ridge across the valley (with additional decks on each side), nice hottub, and vigorous air-conditioning, something we've never had in 11 years of Canaan Valley rentals but appreciated during a recent heat wave. There's also a trail to Dolly Sods right next door. Compared to other parts of Timberline where we've stayed this was our quietest and most-wildlife-filled stay, and Jim was a very welcoming host. We'll be back...

Awesome
Do not hesitate to book your stay. This place is even better than described. Perfect private location. Fully stocked and so many extras. The owners went the extra mile with phone chargers in every room, extra blankets and towels, a dog tie out, fresh fruit, toiletries, etc. All of the decor from world travels were so interesting. Overall the best VRBO we have stayed at. We will book again!

Hummingbird Heaven
Relacing on the front porch while the Hummingbirds battlef for dominance over the feeder was so entertaining. Covertly watching the groundhog family foraging for dinner nearly filled our days. Along with hiking and visiting local attractions. The house was perfect. Clean with every detail well considered for guests. Im sure we will visit again soon.

Best Getaway Spot in West Virginia
Staying at this VRBO in West Virginia was an absolute dream! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the incredible amenities and the attention to detail in every corner. The house was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need, making us feel right at home. The hospitality provided by the host was truly over the top - they went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect in every way. The location was ideal, offering both peace and quiet along with convenient access to nearby attractions. We felt safe and secure throughout our entire stay, allowing us to truly relax and unwind. I can't recommend this VRBO enough - if you're looking for an unforgettable getaway with exceptional hospitality, look no further!

The views from Jim's property are AMAZING! The entire setting is an experience you must have at least once! At every glance inside Jim's house you will discover pieces he has collected from all over the world. It is truly a gift he is sharing with anyone who stays.

What a great house!
We’ve visited the Davis/Thomas area for some spring break mountain biking. It was a great trip and our stay was a big reason. The house is extremely clean, comfortable, and very cozy, which we appreciated during the rainy/snowy weather. The kitchen was extremely well appointed. We got a lot of use out of the hot tub! Jim was very responsive with any question we had; his house is definitely on our short list for our next trip to Tucker County!
