About this house rental
Now offering air conditioning! Other houses claim to be Ski-In Ski-Out, but Daisy’s Den truly is. No other house has the impossible combination of tree-lined privacy with such skiable convenience. Ski off the back deck onto Timberline's Salamander Trail and explore all 100 acres of skiable terrain. Ski back to your cozy cabin and spend the evening enjoying the rest of this rental’s amenities such as sipping a perfectly chilled glass of wine from the dual zone wine fridge, soaking in the slope side hot tub, snuggling up in front of the double-sided gas fireplace, earning bragging rights in the game room equipped with a cocktail arcade table boasting over 3600 video games, foosball table and Ms. Pac Mac upright arcade game, or on the shuffleboard table and Star Wars pinball machine in the downstairs recreation room while watching movies. Daisy's Den is a true four season paradise as hikers will love the walkable convenience to Dolly Sods, while autumn leaf peepers will be mesmerized by the colorful foliage. Mountain bikers and kayakers will love the convenience of having a garage for storing equipment and gear. Adventure and relaxation seekers alike will be fulfilled. This impeccable house will be your family’s new favorite year-round vacation getaway. Well-behaved dogs are welcome.

Property very kid friendly and location provided easy access to Dolly Sods for the more dedicated hikers as well as easy access to Canaan Valley Resort for shorter hikes and occasional meals. Kitchen well equipped and laundry kept everyone in clean clothes over the 2 weeks.

Fantastic vacation and weather! We love the house -- have come again and again. So much to do outside and inside -- foos ball, pinball, shuffleboard, and PacMan! Highly recommend Best of Canaan's staff (they are the BEST) and Daisy's Den!

Our stay was excellent. The house is well stocked, was clean and very nice. Our family also really enjoyed the ski in/ski out aspect that this house has to offer. When not skiing, the house is stocked with games, puzzles in addition to the tv and video games in the house. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay at this house again.

This was a great choice for my husband, our 7 children, and me. Shuffle board was a huge hit along with all the other arcade games. Skiing in and out was very easy. The kids also enjoyed the hot tub. Everything was clean and plenty of cooking utensils and even some spices were available. Now, on to the negative. The condition of the mattress in the master bedroom was horrible. It looks like a 500 lb black bear sleeps on one side of it. I kid you not. It was a task just to keep from rolling out of it in my sleep. The second night I took a large spare pillow and shoved it under the mattress to try to even it out. It helped. I expect the kid mattresses to be ******. I do not expect the master bedroom mattress to be in such poor shape. These are the people who pay for the rental. You should want them to get the best rest possible.

Had an absolute blast with our family at the cabin for the weekend. Snuck in right before some snow moved in and it was perfect being right on the mountain for the snow. Kids loved the stay and had a great time learning to ski as well as their bunk bed room to sleep in. Hoping to come again in the future! For anyone looking- it is at the TOP of the mountain so I would recommend 4WD. AWD and all-season tires did not cut it.

Daisys Den was perfect for our family ski trip. Directly on the slopes. HOWEVER, if you don't have an amazing 4x4 with great tires and/or chains it probably isn't the best choice. There is VERY steep road to that property that pretty much is packed ice/snow and it really doesn't get plowed. We couldn't make it to the house with our 4x4 new Ford Expedition. But I guess if you have the right vehicle you'll be fine. But the home was amazing and perfect for us otherwise.

We had a wonderful ski experience. The location is fantastic. The dog hair was troublesome as some of us are allergic to dogs. My fault for not checking ahead of time. Because of that we will not be able to return. We are sorry for that because otherwise it was perfect.

Loved Daisy’s Den and its slope side conveniences !! House comfortably fits 2 couples and 4 kids. We loved the ski and boot room that kept our gear warm and dry for the next outing and we used the hot tub which was clean and ready to use! The house was exactly as described and we felt right at home.

The home provided all necessary amenities and then some. Host responds very quickly and had answers to all my questions. My daughter saw a black bear out the living room window the first day we were there. It is pet friendly but very clean. It stirred up my allergies a bit but nothing major. Plenty of games and things to do inside on a rainy day. Tons of options on the television. It’s more private than some of the comparable properties in the area. The lots on each side are wooded so you don’t see the neighbors. The hot tub was very clean and has a nice view of the woods and the night sky. There was also a baby fawn in the woods beside the driveway when we arrived the first day. The Dolly sods trail entrance is just up the hill from the cabin so that was the best asset for us. We really enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed our stay at this thoughtfully appointed, comfortable home filled with arcade games, a back deck and hot tub, a deluxe foosball table, games and modern accommodations. The reasonably complete kitchen came equipped with a wine cooler and decent appliances; beds were comfortable; the modern fixtures and window treatments functioned well. The hardwood floors helped our allergy sufferers and pets stay together. Only issue was that the place was not particularly clean; the refrigerator had dirty condensation coils and was not functioning properly.

We stayed a week and family came for the weekend. Everyone loved the cabin. It's clean and comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need. The arcade games were fun and the internet worked well. Went hiking all around the area and discovered that we could hike up the slope from Daisy's Den to a trail leading into Dolly Sods Wilderness!

We very much enjoyed a spring ski trip with an unexpected 6-8” snowfall the day before we arrived! Ski in ski out was wonderful. Everything in the home was great. The House was up a steep section of road - my guest had to get chains for front tires of his front wheel drive car to get up there as the gravel road was covered in snowpack. Once it partially melted and some gravel patches showed up it was fine. So four wheel drive or snow chains needed if road is covered in snow. Our only complaint is they didn’t remove as much snow off the deck as they should have so you could safely use hot tub and grill - there was a shovel there and we did it ourselves -as we used hot tub first afternoon there and every day of our stay! When we had questions Best of Canaan was always available to answer them! Would stay here again and use Best of Canaan managed properties.

Reviewer Comments:
The location to the slopes are the best IF the Timberline was operating. Be careful if you are like us and like to be frugal with your money. We came in on a Sunday to have less crowds and save money. This was a first time renting slope side after many years of skiing here and we were very excited. Only to be told Sunday afternoon that Timberline would be closed. This is not the fault of the owners but it does need to be made aware to other renters like us. We brought another family for their first time and I had been taking it up and I felt horrible that we all spent more money to stay on the slopes.Just be careful!

If you are looking for a great ski in/ski out, you will not be disappointed with Daisy's Den! Great kitchen if you like to cook, very comfortable beds and lots of recent upgrades to the house (floors & bathrooms). The hot tub was clean as was the house. We loved the separate heated ski room to leave and dry your gear at the end of the day! We hope to make this our go to at Timberline when it's available!

This home is the perfect ski in/ski out location. We loved playing the arcade games during down time, and the kitchen was perfect for preparing family meals before heading out for a run.

My mom and I stayed at Daisy’s Den so we could watch all of the grandkids ski. It was fun watching them all gather and prepare to ski too! We also made use of the bunk beds by allowing four of the grandkids to stay with us each night. Four boys loves playing goose ball and all the other games. Four little girls made teddy bears and played games too. The four older girls made friendship bracelets and had popcorn and movie night. It was a wonderful way to spend Christmas with all of the family yet not on top of each other! The cabin was spectacular on every level...the only downside was the icy, slick driveway!

Smooth check in, property exactly as described in listing and most importantly beautiful location slopeside at Timberline. For us as fall visitors this meant walking right out the back door for dog walks up the mountain! Kids loved foosball table and video games, adults loved hot tub and well-stocked kitchen.

We spent a great weekend at Daisy's Den this fall. Although we had rainy days, there was plenty to do in the house. Lots of fun games, including old arcade games from the past that make for fun contests with family and friends. The kitchen is stocked with all the essentials along with items you can't always be sure you will always find at a vacation home, such as a blender, crock pot and big pots to cook for a big group. It's great to be right on the slopes, even when it's not ski season, as there's a ready made trail to walk and enjoy the scenery. Great places to walk your dog from this pet friendly location.If you are coming in the winter, be sure your car has 4 wheel drive or chains, as the last bit of road to the house is very steep and could be a little harder to get to in the winter.All in all a great spot for a fun long weekend.

We had a great late-July stay at Daisy's Den with our adult children. We really did use all the amenities: foosball table, PacMan video game, hot tub, grill, garage for bikes, etc. The Salamander Trail location was ideal for evening hikes with plenty of deer sitings and photos. With the help of a friendly neighbor, we were able to find an unmarked trail leading to the Dolly Sods Wilderness area.The website caution about the steep gravel access road is no joke, even during the summer. We were initially unable to reach the cabin in our fully loaded front-wheel drive SUV. I had to reverse up the hill in order to gain enough traction. Subsequent trips up the hill with an unloaded vehicle were much easier.If you are new to Canaan Valley, you should know that area gets plenty of rain during the summer. The weather app on your phone leans towards the pessimistic side, so it's best to ignore it and get outside when the weather allows. Local mountain bike riding were more limited than I hoped due to the muddy trails, but I didn't mind because the hiking was fantastic.

Great house. Had fun with my 3 sisters.
Complaints- 1 you have to drive to the rental agent to pick up the key that is just a code to open the doors. This code could easily been sent in a email or text. 2 there was a mouse in the wall or ceiling in the kid room that made lots of noise at night. We told the rental agent and they said they would take care of it.
Other then these two, the place was nice and clean.

Great slopeside location. We enjoyed the hot tub and the kitchen and bedrooms were stocked well with dishes, blankets, etc. Kids loved the games. The road was tricky until the plow came through even with 4 wheel drive. Clean except where the bean bags were you could tell they hadn't moved them to sweep floor. We'd definitely stay again!

Ski in ski out was awesome. Very nice home/rental for a family with all ages. Definitely would recommend and stay again. Only complaint is the master bedroom stayed 61 degrees with the heat on 70. Plus did not receive check in/check out email. Even checked spam/junk mail. Had to call the host. However, you’ll be very pleased with Daisy Den.

We had a great time. The property is excellent. The kitchen is very well stocked. Being next to the ski trails is perfect. Being able to walk up to the trail and "click in" and ski down to the lifts was perfect!
