About this house rental

History meets comfort at this original Canaan Valley home! Cooper Homestead is a true blend of all the “things” we humans enjoy and the history we love to hear about. One of the first families to settle in the high Allegheny Mountains, the Coopers farmed, timbered and raised 9 children 3200”above sea level. Built in 1882, Cooper Homestead is the only original Canaan Valley cabin still standing. And now it is available for you to rent! Renovated just enough to offer a full kitchen, laundry center and yes-inside plumbing, the homestead sits on 10 acres of super scenery and spectacular views. Enjoy some porch time. Prepare your favorite meal. Take in the views and witness true tranquility. Visit and imagine this pristine property filled with a large hard-working family. You can feel the history and find the modern as you experience this one of a kind lodging opportunity. The homestead is most comfortable for a couple or a couple with one or two children. Your well behaved dog is welcome with a small pet fee.

Cooper homestead is such a serene and scenic property. The place has a very rustic and authentic charm. While it was mostly clean, we had to open windows for a cool breeze and the sills were full of dead flies. Part of the rustic charm. The neighbors are close and a bit noisy, but not so much that it ruined the vibe. The water wasn’t drinkable and the kitchen sink had no hot water which made for difficult kitchen cleaning up after meals, but the stove is right there for heating up a pot of water. More of that rustic charm. Extremely convenient for access to hiking and sight seeing. Overall, for the price, it was a very pleasant stay.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The homestead was wonderful we loved it so very much! My husband and I didn't want to leave. We have been staying in Canaan Valley for 28 years several times a year. Cooper's Homestead was comfortable, the beds were excellent, the couch and chair could use an upgrade if you are planning on relaxing as my husband and I did. We are extremely busy and this was the first time in years that we stayed in Wednesday-Sunday! The tub was was an experience and of course made me appreciate mine so much the more. The stairs were NOT a problem for us and any well-rounded person would see immediately that you should use caution. We take for granted what we are given each day... and how blessed we are in 2024 but for those of us in 2024 that wished we lived back in the day this is your house! It is an excellent reminder of back then with the conveniences of today.

Amazing property, set well back from the road with a lot of privacy, very cozy and comfortable, wonderful views. The only downside was a housefly infestation that littered the floors and windowsills with dead flies every morning, and kept buzzing around the bed at night - along with the occasion scratching that I suppose was a mouse. The flies need to be dealt with - once they are, I would make this a 5-star review.

A lovely property. You're closest neighbors are horses. A lovely view from the porches. The air is as sweet as cold spring water and then balanced with floral from all of the wildflowers in the meadow. You're close to Davis and Thomas as well as Blackwater Falls State Park.

The house had cob webs, water stunk and the csble did not eork the whole stay until the last evening we were there. Plus the entire area had nothing to do. If you want time to do nothing, then yhis is the place.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was in a good location and available for our dates, so that part of it was good. It is a cute little cabin, and with a little work it could have been a great experience.The bad: The cabin has a very bad ant and fly problem. Ants were all over the kitchen, and by the way ant traps were all over the place it's a known issue. We had to store all of our food in the fridge and in sealed containers. We called the management office and were told they used a professional pest company, but actually did nothing while we were there. We sprayed raid and wiped everything down with bleach wipes, multiple times, but still had problems. The back bedroom was not usable as there was a fly infestation. We killed as many as we could, over a dozen or so, and then closed the doors and left them alone. At one point we counted 12 on a single window.The house looked like it had been hastily cleaned. There were dead flies everywhere, cobwebs over the lights in the bathroom, and it didn't look like the couch cushions had been cleaned under, ever. There were also stains in the rug in the living room. The coffee pot had not been cleaned.Other minor issues: No dishwasher soap, the bathtub is old fashioned and impossible to use without getting a little water on the floor/walls. Some type of tray to hold soap and shampoo would have been nice. The house is dark as lighting was horrible.The good: Plenty of clean towels and the linens on the beds were clean.We did enjoy the deer and the wild turkeys right outside the house and it was very quiet and peaceful.If the property managers would ensure the house is free of ants and flies, and cleaned a lot better than it was when we were there, we would probably give it 4 1/2 stars.
