About this cabin rental
A fantastic, architect-designed, Nordic-modern, four-bedroom, two-bath, newly constructed cabin in Old Timberline. Flat lot, surrounded by beautiful tall trees. Walking distance to miles of conservancy trails and the Canaan Valley Wildlife Refuge. Easy access from within the neighborhood to the Dolly Sods Wilderness. Minutes to White Grass and Canaan Valley ski resorts. Or just explore the wooded wilderness behind the cabin!
The cabin is a work of art! Sleek, yet cozy, with a potbelly stove, ample firewood, wood-clad walls, and towering living-room ceilings (24-feet high). Huge windows integrate the cabin with its beautiful surroundings. Behind the cabin is a magical wooded lot that extends for acres.
The cabin has lots of amenities--central heat and A/C, satellite TV, wifi, good cell access, Wii and games, old-school Atari and games, a Samsung Frame TV (made to look like framed art work when off, to avoid sapping the charm), bluetooth speakers, turntable with vinyl records, iMac computer, books and board games, toys, dishwasher, washer-dryer, garbage disposal, crockpot, coffeemaker, microwave, and an eclectic collection of mid-century modern furniture. Plenty of closet space throughout. Ceiling fans in almost every room. Every bedroom is a corner bedroom with opening windows on both exterior walls. Very airy and bright throughout.
The first floor features a well-stocked open-plan kitchen, dining space, and living space with a pot-belly stove. There's also a mudroom for taking on and off ski boots, laundry room, master bedroom, and a bathroom with shower. Upstairs, there are three more bedrooms and a second bathroom with tub.
There are porches off the front and back. The back porch includes a covered dining area and a gas BBQ grill. Behind the cabin, there's a slack line and storage shed with a basketball hoop, balls, lawn games (croquette, corn hole), a child-size kayak, and a couple of pairs of snowshoes and bikes. There is typically stocked firewood, which you can use in the living room pot-belly stove.
Additionally, there is an adult-sized kayak available for use on a small lake that is a fifteen-minute walk (or two-minute drive and five-minute walk) away.

We had a fantastic trip at the property. Everything was as advertised and as pictured online. We loved the decor and especially enjoyed the game of matching the furniture to the poster on the wall! There were toys, books, and legos for the kids and a fun vinyl collection for the adults. Great place in Canaan Valley - we will be back again!

The house is stylish and clean, all amenities worked well, the surrounding area offered wonderful walks and easy to get to restaurants and shops. Any issues were addressed quickly, and the host remained available and pleasant. Our family of six had a great time, and we can’t wait to visit again.

The host was great with communications, provided a detailed instruction for the property as well as things to do in the area. The property was well stocked with everything one would need. We'll certainly be back!

Josh is a wonderful host, and his place is flawless. Great for families, great for couples. Can’t recommend it enough (although I’d love to keep it a secret for selfish reasons). Enjoy the hospitality, the nearby trails, and Timberline access.

This is our second year staying at Josh’s cabin. If it’s clean enough for my mother in law, than it’s clean enough for anyone :)
The location for those who love Canaan Valley and Dolly Sods could not be more perfect. Plus, Josh is a super conscientious host. My advice: just book the cabin.

My husband and I stayed a week at the property in early May. The design of the house is perfect, very clean with an amazing floorplan and features. We loved the smell of cedar, and the large windows provided a great view of the property. We immediately felt at home, and thoroughly enjoyed wine on the deck and listening to their records and other music on the house sound system. The neighborhood is perfect for walking, and in good proximity to many fantastic hiking trails. The nearby small towns offered great local shopping, restaurants and a brewery. Josh and his wife were perfect hosts, promptly helping us with any questions and needs that we had. We highly recommend the property and the hosts, and would love to stay here again. Thank you for an amazing trip!

Wonderful cabin in the woods
My family and I had a wonderful time at the cabin and took in hiking, skiing, waterfalls, games by the fire, and felt at home due to the detail hosts provided. Would like to return one day.

We had a fantastic time (coming for a long weekend mainly to ski at Timberline Mountain). The cabin is fantastic -- great style and design choices, thoughtfully layed out, and well provisioned. Josh is communicative and provides a lot of helpful tips for making the most of the area!

Wonderful getaway from DC
We had an incredible time at Josh’s house—no surprise since we rented it last year too. It’s a beautiful house in a great location, close to both Timberline and Canaan Valley mountains, with great hiking for kids around the house. The kitchen is well equipped, the wood burning stove and record player are delights, and Josh is a great host! Couldn’t ask for more.

New Years family getaway
Had a fabulous time with our three children. Highlights include proximity to Timberline mountain, nearby walking trails and abundant natural light and space in the cabin. Plenty of games and activities for children and adults within the cabin and outdoors. The kitchen was a delight to cook in and well-stocked. Loved playing the records on hand as well. Josh was a super host and very responsive.

This was our 3rd stay at this gorgeous cabin. Josh is a great host and the property feels like home with everything you would need to relax and kick back. Lots of fun games and entertainment indoors for the kiddos, as well as the beautiful valley and Dolly Sods to explore all around. Thanks again. We will be back!

What a gem! We had a terrific stay--the property is updated, clean, well-appointed, well-stocked, and so cozy. Staying in a gated community gave us terrific access to some amazing hikes.
The house was beautiful and very comfortable, and the owners generously share all the best with their guests. I've never stayed in a vacation rental with such a well-stocked kitchen--there wasn't a utensil lacking for our stay. The owner provided the basics too, so we didn't have to lug toilet paper, hand soap, or shampoo.
We enjoyed the slackline, watching the deer grazing in the yard, sampling the great record collection, playing with Legos, and simply relaxing at the house between hikes.
The owner was friendly and easy to communicate with, and even checked in on us during our stay.
Blackwater Falls, Dolly Sods, and Canaan Wildlife Refuge were great (Freeland Rd boardwalk). Ice cream in town was great, but lots of dining options have limited days/hours of operation, or were unexpectedly out of business. Plan your meals accordingly!
I would definitely love to return for another getaway @ Timberline!

We brought the kids for our second visit to the cabin, and we enjoyed it just as much as our (much quieter) first visit. We did a nearby hike with them, but we really didn’t need to leave at all with the slackline, cornhole, hammock, tons of kids’ books, and the bunk beds all at the cabin. It was the perfect long weekend getaway.

Excellent property and management
My family enjoyed our four-day stay here at this clean, comfortable, and well-appointed property. Very quiet and peaceful, great community. Property management/owners could not have been better at communication and were a pleasure to do business with. House has everything you need.....including instructions on how to take advantage of it all... we will be back!

Stunning cabin with everything you need (even the things you didn’t know you needed)
This cabin is beautiful—decorated thoughtfully and meaningfully, with midcentury modern/Scandinavian decor and vintage prints as well Tempurpedic pillows, comfy bedding and extras of pretty much everything. The house is incredibly stocked—with everything from spices, oil, etc. to toiletries and laundry detergent. Josh provides a guide book containing tons of trails maps—with hand-notated points of interest (including kid-friendly spots) and various trail running route lengths. There’s plenty to do even if you don’t want to leave the cabin; we were surprised at the time we spent listening to records and playing Atari.
It was just so easy to enjoy our time here, and we really felt like we were in a home. Can’t wait to get back next year.

Great modern place
We loved the high ceilings, Scandinavian modern furnishings and lots of windows. Since it rained quite a bit, we spent time on the two covered decks reading/relaxing. Would definitely recommend this modern cabin for a relaxing get-away.

Great Cabin!
The Cabin was so beautiful and the neighborhood was safe and quiet. My kids loved playing in the yard and woods, they especially enjoyed the slack line! We saw countless deer, they would come right up to the porch while we were outside. The aesthetic of the cabin was unique and calming, overall a great place to stay!

A much needed escape
This lovely cabin was the perfect antidote for the 3 preceding complicated months. Privacy, trees, deer, birds, trails, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, great WIFI, amazing scenery, Dolly Sods, Seneca Rocks, Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge, friendly neighbors and more birds. I left feeling restored.

Happy repeat customers
We've now stayed at Josh's property twice, and the second time was just as good as the first (maybe better since we were blessed with snow!). The house is well designed, incredibly well furnished, and there is truly something for everyone. You won't regret staying here - we'll definitely be back.

Beautiful cabin
Really a beautiful cabin in the woods. Everything you could (or I at least) could need. Spacious stylish design. Wood stove with extra dry wood made for a great fire. Outdoor grill read for grilling. Very clean. Great WiFi. Large windows. Would definable look to rent this cabin again when returning to Canaan Valley.

Comfortable, clean, and modern cabin!
My family and I truly enjoyed our stay. We admired how clean and tastefully decorated the cabin is. Not to mention, extremely well stocked with essentials, games, speakers, EVERYTHING. Josh is so attentive to detail. His instructions were clear and he even gave us suggestions on what to do. It was perfect. Highly recommend it.

A great environment for being together
We loved the thoughtfulness of the design of the cabin. As you walk in you're immediately presented with a view of the woods that wrap the back of the house. Very intimate yet open enough to accommodate our family of 9. The hosts are most gracious with their well stocked kitchen and wood pile.

This is a unique cabin in a very peaceful place
There is so much to love about this place. It is beautifully designed and decorated. It was very clean and very well stocked with just about everything we needed. Josh was a great host. Communication was prompt and helpful. This is the perfect place to get away to nature. The back deck was perfect for watching the deer roaming in the woods each morning (we even saw a black bear). Also a great place for stargazing each night. I could go on and on about this cabin but I want others to be just as pleasantly surprised as my family was:)

Summer Get Away
Great summer get away! Cabin is in a great area close to hiking and fishing is very good at the lakes nearby. If you enjoy seeing white tail deer, this place will not disappoint.
