Beautiful scenery all around this home. Snow storm arrived shortly after we did. HVAC kept us very comfortable. Excellent location for year-round outdoor events.

Bessie was the perfect place for a family getaway. The hosts have thought of everything. It is a great location for visiting Blackwater falls, Davis, and Thomas.

We had a wonderful weekend. The owners have tried to think of everything guest may need. The fish were biting well...that is always a plus.

We spent a long weekend in Davis and the house was perfect. It was very clean and just how it was described. We would definitely stay here again.

House was very nice, with excellent views. The lake was beautiful and teaming with fish and geese. Hardwood floors were a bit dirty on the main floor, but everything else was clean. Owner was very responsive when contacted, and there was a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. I think it was the best house on the lake! We are looking at our calendars right now wanting to go back!

Bessie is located in a beautiful and peaceful area on a lake in the mountains. The home is clean, well stocked and both dog and child- friendly. Lots of activities for all seasons nearby plus Blackwater Falls State Park and shopping in the quaint town of Davis. We were 8 adults and 2 dogs, all family but from multiple households. The main floor was great for meals and when we all wanted to be together. There was also ample space for quiet personal time. Plus a wall of windows and a deck on the lake side. It was everything we hoped for and plan to return. The owner was friendly and responded quickly to my questions. Your search is over—book it now 😁

This was such a great place to stay and wonderful hosts. The pictures really don't do it justice. Wonderful house, nice quiet area, great walks around the lake and across the farm. We came up for our kids' spring break, intending to ski at Canaan Valley and Timberline. Both closed for the week due to weather and we almost didn't want to come... We are so glad we did, it was a wonderful place to stay. This is my first choice for next ski season, and also if we were to come up for the summer. I'm a huge fan.

We enjoyed our stay, nice home in a great location and setting. Great home for two couples with kids. Our dog loved the house as well.

We had a wonderful weekend with family in Canaan Valley. Bessie is a beautiful family friendly home. The layout is perfect for a multi-generational family. Plenty of room to spread out or hang together. It is the most well stocked and well equipped rental we've ever had. The view was the frozen lake was spectacular. The location between Canaan and Davis was perfect for us. We spent time at the ski slopes at Canaan State Park and the sled run at Black Water Falls. Davis and Thomas, the nearby towns, are fun to wander through, plus we had some good meals there.

We've staying in a lot of rental homes and you can always tell when it's a home or if it's a business. This is a home. The second we walked in, we felt like we had arrived at our new home. I have a baby that loves to crawl upstairs and then fall down them and there were baby gates. The view was spectacular, the bedrooms were huge and so comfortable. We traveled with 3 families, 8 children. So. Many. Kids. And the house never felt cramped. The dining room table was large enough for us to all sit down and eat dinner together. the kitchen was stocked, we had plenty of everything we could need. We want to come back for every season. We came up to go sledding at Blackwater state park and this house was only 20 minutes away. It was perfect. Brian was an amazing host, he was prompt in his message responses and extremely accommodating. The kids never wanted to leave and neither did the adults. Can't wait to go back in the summer to enjoy the lake!
