Lovely mountain retreat with a German motif. Deers roam in abundance, so very quiet and surrounded by woods.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is very nice, with plenty of space. Being an Army brat born in Nürnberg, Germany, I loved all the decor from there.

House is “as advertised”. Listing was accurate. The two sun rooms are amazing. Deck is a nice area to spend time as well. In close proximity to Canaan Valley State Park (7 minutes) and about 17 minutes from Davis. There’s a well stocked grocery store in Davis. They have a nice selection of local beers there. Or take a short walk to Stumpstown Brewery from the grocery store. We are not used to picking up keys for rentals. Most places have lock boxes. But, you have to practically drive by the rental agency to get to the property. So… no big deal. It’s a gated community so no riff raff and the neighboring houses are almost invisible with the foliage. An added bonus… a short drive to the top of development gives you access to Dolly Sods. There’s a great lookout point a short walk from where you park up top. Great for sunsets.

We took 2 nights backing with a family of 6 from this cabin. It was a gtreat adventure without being toomuch for children ages 10-17.

My husband and I loved the extra family room off the master bedroom. Such beautiful views!! The back deck is huge and enclosed which was perfect for the dogs to play. We will definitely rent again!

Set up of house is wonderful! Very clean and inviting. Great location to hiking trails.

We planned a 3 day ski weekend and were very comfortable with the house and its accommodations. We had a problem with the oven, contacted property management and a temporary oven was delivered before our next meal. We'd love to stay again in other seasons to be able to enjoy the outdoors as well. Best of Caanan is top notch.

The layout of the two upper bedroom with loft is very nice giving everyone some privacy.
The kitchen lacked storage space for personal items. Recommend you bring a large tight closing storage bin for personal food items unless you want to share them with Mickey Mouse and his family. There is a large mud room next to kitchen which was a lifesaver for personal kitchen item storage and in keeping house clean from tracking mud and leaves inside.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cleanliness and general condition of the Wald Haus did not meet our basic expectations. The location was excellent for our needs. Property management scheduled delivery of firewood. There were several issues with the cleanliness of the property as it was nowhere near spotless.
Cabinets, shelves and drawers in the kitchen need a full cleaning. We cleaned out three drawers and several shelves to make this useable during our stay.
The owners have a large amount of family memorabilia in the kitchen that is taking up space on the counters and in the kitchen cabinets.
We did not use the 2nd family room built as an addition on the main floor. The 2nd family room has large areas of mold/mildew on two walls near the ceiling.
I cleaned the owners vacuum and purchased vacuum bags to sweep the floors.
The key only worked well in the main entrance, the rest of the door locks including the lock on the garage access door need to be replaced.
Gutters overflowed during moderate rain, and there were several indications on the ceiling of water damage. I used the owner's ladder to clean out the gutters over the deck. The walkway to the deck has washed out creating a safety hazard along the side of the house. Garage door track needs realigned.
I sent emails to the property manager outlining these issues.
We looked at other properties to rent in 2022 to find an alternative to the Wald Haus for our next extended stay in Canaan Valley. I would not recommend this property in it's current condition to a friend or relative.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our first stay here was in March to ski at Timberline. It was fun to return and visit during the warmer September weather. House has everything you could need for your stay. I recommend bringing tinfoil to line the old cookie sheets and plastic wrap for any leftovers. The patio was great for our toddler and dog to enjoy the fresh air and scenery without running off. Both large TVs have Netflix for streaming tv shows and movies (you’ll need your login info). There is WiFi but it tended to be slow and cut out at times while surfing the web, even after resetting it twice. The beds are comfy, bathrooms nice and clean. The Timberline-exclusive trailhead just outside Dolly Sods was awesome for taking a short hike to the top and walking down the Valley View Trail. We enjoyed playing cards at the large table, watching the setting sun through the trees, and taking in the crisp evening air.Unfortunately, the condition of the house went downhill since our last visit and we were quite disappointed to find a number of broken items (dishwasher rack, disposal, numerous lightbulbs). The rental agency was quick to replace the battery in our smoke detector that started beeping the evening after we arrived (that was a rough night). A number of improvements would go a long way towards increasing the rental experience:-Replacing the missing window screens and putting in screen doors to the patio would really help with ventilation. Replacements screens are still being made.-Due to higher humidity and lack of ventilation in the back living room, there is mold high up on the walls. Increasing ventilation and putting in a dehumidifier would really help. We avoided that room.-Weather stripping at bottom of the doors needs replacing. Creepy crawlies were finding their way in.-Owners should remove the trunk from the large bedroom. It is full of mothballs and makes the bedroom and adjacent rooms smell awful. We stuck it outside on the patio during our stay.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was beautiful with the decor so fascinating. Brought home a lot of pictures so others could see how picturesque it was. If we had no doctor's appointments, we would have stayed as long as possible. I would encourage others to stay at least a week or more. We were truly rested when we returned was better then described so we enjoyed the wildlife and did not leave it until the day we came home and enjoyed every day. We would reccomend it to everyone who likes the quiet life.

We really enjoyed the property and wished our personal schedules would gave permitted us to stay longer. It was nice to put kids to bed upstairs and just relax in master suite without disrupting kids' sleeping schedules. It was also nice to be able to put our dogs' crate in washroom area so he could rest and feel safe at night. We had deer visit and we loved the sound of the stream flowing near the property. A wonderful property!!! (Our kids' loved the variety of DVDs upstairs. We didn't have enough time to watch all of our classic faves.)

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is nestled in the woods, just like we were hoping. The pictures don't do the property justice. The master suite is huge and consists of two rooms. The sitting room in the back is full of windows and makes you feel like you're tucked in the woods while sitting there. The main areas of the house were big enough for the five of us to be comfortable. And this was a good central location for the hikes we wanted to do. And the back deck is gated off so we were able to relax with our morning coffee while the dogs roamed around safely on the deck.The furniture is a bit older, but in good shape and clean. And the kitchen is pretty well stocked although some of the baking pans need to be replaced.

Our family of four enjoyed renting Wald Haus. The location was fantastic for the activities we had planned. If you want to go to the Dolly Sods area for hiking, you will have access to a private entrance with parking. The house is located near Blackwater Falls and Canaan Valley State Parks and is within an hour of the Seneca Rocks area. The home itself is roomy, with a nice deck area and a good sized kitchen. While the kitchen was stocked with most cookware and utensils you may want, be aware that you will need to supply your own ziplock bags, Saran wrap, foil, and so on. We were only provided with three dishwasher tablets and we were there for eight nights so you may also want to bring those as well. The beds were comfortable and the full bathrooms were conveniently located. There is both a family room area as well as a living room. The living room can only be accessed through the bedroom or the deck which is something to keep in mind if two families were sharing the house. Overall we had a great time there and would rent this property again.

Perks - close to everything we wanted to do, plenty of space for 3 adults, lots of windows, great sitting areas, cute motifCons - not everything was clean.... had to hike through three feet of snow to find wood for fire

The neighborhood was safe and convenient to lots of great activities including ski slopes, golf course, restaurants, and hiking. There is even a trail into Dolly Sods in the neighborhood! We enjoyed watching wild turkeys in the yard from the comfort of the couch and cozy fireplace. We can’t wait to return and couldn’t recommend this house and rental agency more. Everything from check-in to check-out was smooth and easy. The COVID precautions and cleanliness of the space helped make for a relaxing and safe stay!
