About this house rental
It seems appropriate that Aaron Copeland included the melody of one of West Virginian’s favorite songs, Simple Gifts, in the score for his beloved composition Appalachian Spring. Named for the story of a spring celebration of 19th century American pioneers, this lovely one-story contemporary home is rich with one of the hardest to find yet simplest of gifts, peace and quiet. Relax and listen to the sounds of nature from the lovely deck or take a hike around the tranquil wooded area. Settle into vacation mode in front of the fireplace with that book or magazine you have been meaning to read for a while now. The night sky will be amazing from the comfort of the outdoor hot tub. There are no interruptions here unless you take a break to observe nature from the ceiling to floor windows. Don’t be surprised if everyone wants to help prepare meals thanks to the comfortable design of the extra excellent kitchen. While visiting Appalachian Spring you can completely unplug or enjoy free WIFI and cable TV. For the young at heart this rental also includes a PS3 game system.

This house was great and everyone was much more than satisfied with our stay here. Everything was as described and many memories that will last a lifetime. Everything was in working condition including hot tub. Must stay if your looking for a trip out into the Canaan Valley!

The house was lovely.. All on one floor and is idal for me (87) and my husband 8 (91). My husband is in a wheel chair and the hardwood floors made it very easy to get around. Although I didn't do much cooking, the kitchen was well equipped and could have accommodated cooking for a large group. The house was really too big for just the three of us ( husband, our son and myself) The house was comfortable and spacious.and worked well for us.

Spent our annual friends week in Appalachian Spring. The kitchen was really nice and well equipped. Everyone had their own bath, which is always a plus. Large comfortable space to hang out. Mattresses do need replaced . Hot tub was not working but a refund was put on the credit card within two days of leaving. We have rented thru Best ofCanaan for 7 years and they are always so pleasant and accommodating.

dry year for a spring paddling trip, but we spent 2 80 degree days on the Cheat Narrows, walked and admired the trees at Cathedral State Park, then hiked for 2 days in the Canaan area with snow spitting at times.our second stay in Appalachian Spring, which makes a comfortable,quiet, secluded base for our group of 6. Timberline trails, and easy access to Cabin Mt and refuge an added bonus

We greatly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful location with gorgeous views. Rooms were clean and comfy. Only downsides are that some of the rooms were hotter than others, and the garage wasn't cleaned out from the previous guests.

I have been renting this particular home for 3 years and other homes in the community for more than 30 years during the WV hunting season. Last year this home lost cable for the entire time we were there and we notified the office, but didn't really complain. This year our big Sunday dinner was ruined by having an oven that didn't work - continued to turn on and off and not hold heat. As a result, we through out two pork loins worth $50 and ended up eating at Subway - imagine dealing with 5 angry guys who paid for food and now had to buy a sub at subway. The following day a member of the group had to leave the woods on the first day of hunting season to meet your so called service guy who turned out to be the guy who changed light bulbs and told us what we already knew "the oven was having a problem". As a result again, we could not prepare the intended dinner for that evening we brought with us and had to drive to Davis and purchase charcoal and hamburgers for the dirty grill. By the way, what kind of house commanding this type of rent, does not offer a gas grill. The overall experience with the valley was beautiful as always and the house is really nice, but I'm truly disappointed in the fact that we transport food for the 5 days that we either through away or carried back home. I would hope as a repeat renter, Best of Canaan does the right thing and offers us some type of reimbursement for next year.

We enjoyed our stay. And the fireplace and LR/kitchen WERE GREAT! . Things to improve: there was no toilet paper, no paper towels, no dish soap, etc. , should be told to bring if there is none. There were spider nests /cobwebs everywhere, the table and other furniture needs work-and overall needs some general maintenance. Overall we had a fun trip and would stay again but with more supplies.

We enjoyed our vacation in the WV mountians as expected. Appalachian Spring was a great home, plenty of room, excellent kitchen, comfortable beds, and a good size. The art in the home has a story and I appreciated the local purchases. We did catch 4 mice, and we did have to clean up their left behind treasure upon arrival. That is no fault of the house owners I believe housekeeping should have cleaned better, not because of the mice but bc of the condition of the home upon arrival. I let Best Of Canaan know upon leaving, they listened and noted.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was very spacious. We were in a group of three couples and the layout provided plenty of privacy as well as being a great gathering spot. We loved the well-equipped kitchen, thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. The living room was bright and sunny with a beautiful sectional that enabled us to all sit together comfortably. And a bonus gas fireplace. There were plenty of games, books and puzzles as well as tv and internet. The furniture was very nice, beds were comfortable with plenty of extra blankets and pillows. Would definitely stay here again!

The kitchen was the best equipped one we have ever rented. House needed a deeper cleaning, but it still was nice. Location was good. We had a little snow, but the younger generation skied and snow boarded at the closest ski slopes and SIL enjoyed a lot of bike trails. . I wish they had safety rails in the master bath and a higher toilet and someway for a disabled person to get in and out of the hot tub. I don’t think places up there are equipped for the disabled, but the house had plenty of room, huge windows and it was all on one floor. There are a lot of light switches and 2 bedrooms needed more light sources. A lot of puzzles and games were provided. We would rent Appalachian Spring again.

The house was clean for the most part. However there were bugs and spiderwebs EVERYWHERE inside the house. Everywhere.
I do believe there is a wasp nest inside the hottub. We couldn’t use it during the day as there were wasp all around and you could see them climbing up under the frame around the tub.
You made $Xxx (vrbo won’t let me disclose this amount) off of us for 3 days. I’m sure you’re making that off of a ton of others too. There is no reason to not have it cleaned and everything working properly.
There were several light switches that did nothing. One of the ceiling fans in the living room wouldn’t turn on. The toilet paper holder in the hall bathroom was ripped out of the drywall. The ice / water on the fridge didn’t work.

Our family LOVED our time at Appalachian Spring! It was so quiet and peaceful. I really enjoyed cooking our meals with my daughter in the big kitchen! I love the high ceilings and large windows! Fishing with my kids was so much fun!The fish bite as soon as you cast your line which was great for my impatient 8 year old. My wonder family loved our time spent in Canaan Valley. We were all sad to leave, but we will definitely be back in the future!

This is a beautiful hone in Timberline. The home is spacious and well equipped. Loraine from Nest of Canaan was so wonderful to work with. We did have issues with the ceiling fan not working so the house was warm. Loraine was wonderful to provide a fan to help cool the main suite. We wood recommend this property!
