About this cabin rental
Nestled on the shores of Sand Run Lake, this charming retreat offers breathtaking views of both the lake and the surrounding mountains, creating a serene and picturesque setting for your getaway. Early risers can enjoy the stunning sunrise framed by large windows, while those looking for evening relaxation can unwind in the hot tub under a sky full of stars. With its spacious open-concept kitchen, living, and dining areas, this home is designed for comfort and socializing, whether you're preparing a meal or gathering around the fireplace for a cozy night in.
The home features thoughtful layouts across two floors, perfect for families or groups of friends. The first floor includes a cozy bedroom with a bunk bed, a shared hall bath, a laundry area, and easy access to the outdoor spaces, including the lakefront. Upstairs, the layout splits into two areas. To the left, a peaceful loft bedroom with a king-sized bed and an en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower offers a private retreat. To the right, two additional bedrooms—both with queen beds—share a hall bath with a walk-in shower, ensuring plenty of space and comfort for everyone.
This dog-friendly home has everything you need to fully enjoy your time at the lake. Take in the spectacular views, gather around the outdoor fire pit, or cook up a meal on the charcoal grill. The outdoor hot tub provides a perfect spot to relax after a day of exploration, and the dog enclosure ensures your furry companions have a safe place to roam. This retreat is an ideal spot for creating lasting memories in a beautiful, tranquil setting.

We really enjoyed the home and location. The only thing needed was a window shade on the bathrooms. Even being in the woods this is not appropriate. This is our 4th time staying at houses in Timberline.

The location is superb. The addition made the house more usable and was well designed. Always easy, no hassle. See you next spring. Always have a great experience working with MountainTop. Very easy to work with and always pleasant.

The property was excellent. It was clean, comfortable, all of the appliances and electronics worked well. I loved the hot tub and the view of the lake and cabin mountain. The kitchen was fully stocked and we were able to prepare all of our meals in the house. Being steps from the lake and hiking trails was also great. This has been my best stay in Canaan Valley and I look forward to staying at this property again. Becky was excellent during booking and check in. She responded to my questions quickly, was polite, and included detailed instructions. She also sent me important reminders for required documentation. I checked in past 5 PM and she had the house keys waiting in a box outside the office. Outstanding service!

Friends of the Cheat staff enjoyed our time in the valley, reflecting on successes of the past year and looking towards the future. The view of Cabin Mountain and the wildlife around Sand Lake kept us content when the snow turned to rain. Lots of games were played by the beautiful fireplace while sharing food and drink. Thanks to the Mountaintop Realty team for making us feel at home. Dakota was great. Very easy to communicate with and super accommodating.

The house was beautiful! The property was amazing the pictures don't do it justice. The fire pit is surrounded by grass now not dirt. The view is breath taking. Our dogs had an amazing time, although they couldn't go to the water due to the mud because of the rain. And it was chilly for them to get hosed off. But they loved the property and house. The dogs loved the dog door and fenced area!!!! Our boys loved the canoe and they fished every day for hours. We couldn't of had a better trip and loved the house!!!! Extremely relaxing trip! Thank you! The team was very helpful every time I emailed before our visit.

This place was fantastic. We love that we can bring our complete family (dog included) to this beautiful part of the country. The price is right. Everything else is just a bonus :-) The view was amazing! And, as tiny as it sounds, the dog door...it's nice that a vacation home is set up for our furry friends too. Since we've never been disappointed, I'll say the staff has always been great.

The only thing I can say is it was perfect. Perfect house, perfect people, perfect weekend. The view of the lake was spectacular! This house was perfect for us to spend time together. The staff was exceptional. We had a change to our plans right before our stay. Through email exchanges they helped us adjust our stay according. They were always professional and extremely helpful.

We loved the property, but the only thing we hated was the deer head hanging on the wall. Kids were scared and we are pretty normal people, we do not enjoy seeing animal's head hanging on the wall. We had to hide it for the two nights we were there.
Everyone was responsive and useful.

Everything was perfect except that there appeared to be some bones and splinters of bones that my dog almost choked on in the backyard (we picked up most of them I think to prevent this) and there were piles of dog poop around the yard (we cleaned up after our dog). Quick and helpful communication.

We overall had a very wonderful and relaxing experience. It was perfect for a short staycation and to unplug. Our dog also had a great time and was able to run around freely! Thank you for having us. Every person we had the pleasure of working with was extremely attentive. Matt especially was great to work with. He was very responsive and really helped us out when we had the unfortunate situation of the power going out. Very accommodating!

We love Alpen View.
We love Alpen View. The owners had decorated for Fall when we were there in October this year. We rented it again in December and they had replaced the Fall decorations with Christmas decorations, including lights and a small tree to the delight of my grandchildren. We always go with Mountain Top for our yearly stay. The staff is friendly and responds immediately to your needs.

We had a mouse problem.
We had a mouse problem. Realize this is common there - but leaving some mouse traps under the sink would be helpful. Davis store almost sold out and said there had been a run on them. Had mice at least 3 nights. Caught mice even after putting all food either on top of fridge or back in large plastic containers that we brought along.
Amenties were really nice - would be nice if owners book could include a note about location of life jackets for canoe/kayak - we didn't find them until too late. Otherwise lovely location. prompt responses

We love the view at this property.
We love the view at this property. We watched the eagle and lots deer. As we sat at the table. The dog fence! We have a fenced in yard at home and it creates challenges when we don’t have one on vacation. That is the main reason we choose this property.
You have a great team we have used other rental companies in Canaan and have quit because mountain top is the best by far!
