About this house rental
I recently saw someone wearing a t-shirt that said "I would rather be in the mountains". No kidding I thought. The mountains are where the stars are brighter, the air is cleaner and the quiet is even quieter. Does that tempt you to make "The Great Escape"? This lovely custom built home is equipped for family fun in every season. Bikers, hikers, boaters, bakers and even couch potatoes will love the location in every season. Guests will enjoy WIFI, multiple TV’s, two gas fireplaces and an outdoor hot tub. The open floor plan makes cooking, dining, visiting and TV watching all social events. Teens and tweens can escape to the loft or downstairs family room for some “parentless” peace and quiet. Go ahead and make The Great Escape to the mountains! Reserve online or call and let a member of our staff take care of the details for you.

Excellent(67 Reviews)4.4
Very spacious house in a beautiful area but it could use some updating and a deep cleaning. Appliance feel tacky as do the cabinet handles. Many of the windows are missing the cranks to open them, screens are dirty and have holes. The sliding door off the kitchen will not lock. The front steps are in bad condition and dangerous. There is no railing on the basement steps.
The quality of the paper towels and toilet paper could be upgraded and more could be provided.
Also the main floor beds could be upgraded to kings or queens.
As I said the house is spacious and in a beautiful setting. It met our needs but could be a lot nicer with a little TLC!

House was clean and everything in good working order. The floorpan works well for larger groups with plenty of sleeping space for kids in basement and loft. It is a short drive to the ski lodge, or walkable if parking is an issue.

The location is easy to access existing trails and numerous venues in CV. It is a large accommodating cabin with and plenty of indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. There were 12 individual beds and none were bunk beds. Several of the mattresses may need to be replaced as well as some of the kitchen cookware but didn't impact our enjoying the property.

Very nice, spacious, and convenient home.Very often parking is a problem for over 3 vehicles, but this home could park 5 vehicles without a problem. hot tub was nice, and outside grill was piped directly to gas. Hot water heater was behind locked door, but seemed to be on demand, so hot water was endless.We have been coming to this area for family reunions for many years, and this was one of the best places we have stayed. Thank you very much for sharing your home!

We rented this house for a long weekend of skiing. It's very convenient to the slopes and the ski room in the basement worked out great to store everything. We had 3 families here with kids and there was plenty of space to spread out. The only negative was the tv in the was missing the extension cord, so it didn't work. We will look at booking this house in the future.

The home was great of our group! Four families had plenty of space to relax together and separately. The kitchen was a good size and had many tools, spices, coffee and everyday items that helped us make our meals. Having 4 full bathrooms was great too! The hot tub was used and enjoyed by the adults. The location was great for our skiers/boarders! The downstairs exterior door and mud room was perfect to contain the wet boots and clothes instead of tracking it all in upstairs. Our group hopes to stay there again in the future.

Spacious house with ample sleeping space. 200 ft. walk to Winterset slope made it easy to stop by the house for lunch while skiing. Hot tub was in perfect working order. Basement entry room on the rear of the house was perfect for entry/exit to/from skiing. The only improvement would be to renew some of the mattresses. Some are new and in good condition while others are older and saggy. Overall the house was a good choice.

Our family vacationed at this property and it was in a perfect location for our daily activities. The house was spacious and accommodated all of us easily. Our only issues were that the home needed a deep cleaning as there were lots of cobwebs and small spiders in every room, a general disorder in the kitchen cabinets, sticky cabinet surfaces and a strong musty odor in the basement spaces. A couple of small repairs need to be done to the tile floor in the shared bathroom on the main level and a stone in the front steps is loose.
The property managers were accessible and helpful. The location was great for our daily excursions to Blackwater Falls, Davis & Thomas and Canaan Valley attractions.

The cabin isn’t well kept: the fireplace in the family room wasn’t working, dishes weren’t clean and some were broken, the beds were all squeaky and uncomfortable, the lower level smelled and felt humid, and there was no cable. Nonetheless, we enjoyed ourselves.

Location was fantastic for skiing. Adjacent to Timberline resort. Not really private if you’re looking for a romantic getaway, but perfect for a group looking for a nice comfy cabin. The house could use a couple updates, one of them being a deep clean; my allergies really flared up whenever I was in the house. Also, the fire place in the main living room doesn’t stay lit and the hot tub is a bit finicky. But overall we had a great time and we enjoyed the place.
