  Kimberly R from Pomeroy , OH recommends this vacation rental

  We have stayed at numerous places for skiing and hiling in Canaan Valley, but this was our favorite place so far! It is roomy, comfortable, and has all the amenities that you would need for your stay. We were impressed with all the dishes, pans, spices and other essentials. It may be a small thing, but we loved it. There was a hairdryer in each of the bathrooms, and a fan and each of the bedrooms so we could utilize so we didn’t need to bring our own from home. I just really think of the little things as well as the big things that you may need on your vacation!!

  It was a lovely house with any amenity you could possibly want. A short walk to the slopes and a wonderful fireplace to warm up to at the end of day. Will definitely go back.

  My family and I travel down to Canaan Valley every year in October and this house was probably one of the cleanest houses we’ve stayed in. The layout was open and fit our large group very well. The hot tub was very large and was able to fit 5 of us comfortably. My daughter enjoyed being able to watch the deer eat in the front yard from the living rooms large windows. Very nice property for a relaxing weekend away.

  Second year in row renting this property.
  We love this house so much. The layout is perfect for us. Well furnished kitchen. Very relaxing and quiet neighborhood. The hot tub was only Luke warm, upon checkout the office informed us that we should of called them, so they could reset it. The hot tub cover had mildew on it and smelled moldy. The television is outdated and really needs to be upgraded to a smart tv. We had plenty of apps we could use, but no way to access the television. Living room furniture is not very comfortable. All in all a great vacation. Really want to rent this house again next year too. Anyway we can find out if any of are concerns were addressed?

  We had a wonderful time. Everything was well stocked.
  The only disappointing thing was that the grill was not working. Quiet, peaceful and centrally located.

  Catherine M from Bloomington, IN recommends this vacation rental

  This was the perfect house for our group of 5. With 4 bedrooms, one couple had a room and the rest of us had our own bedroom. The kitchen is really well stocked with every dish and utensil you might need and plenty of spices, oil, coffee, etc. We found plenty of paper goods for our 4 night stay, too. We saw several deer from the big front window. It was warm enough that we did not make a fire in the fireplace, but there was plenty of wood to start one if desired. We enjoyed the hot tub one evening but it didn't quite get hot enough.
  
  The house is very close to the Timberline base area and not far from Canaan Valley, the town of Davis, and other attractions. We enjoyed Blackwater Fall State Park and Seneca Rocks for some apres ski hiking and sight seeing.

  • Manager Responded on 3/8/2023

    Thank you for your review on Ski Hive. We appreciate your feedback and will make sure we take a look at the hot tub. Hope you have you back again!

  Jessica F from Erlanger, KY recommends this vacation rental

  With all the comforts of home and the escape from the daily routines, the Ski Hive is the whole package. Not a single need or desire was unmet. The short walk to the ski lifts allow you to focus more on skiing instead of packing the car and dealing with long walks from the parking lot. A kitchen full of amenities allows family dinner to be cooked every evening versus fighting lines at the local restaurant options. There is ample space for a large family to spread out and each member to find a cozy space to call their own. We highly recommend a stay at the Ski Hive! We will definitely return.

  Noelle G from Union , KY recommends this vacation rental

  Perfect cabin layout for a midsized group. We had 7 people spread out over 4 rooms. The family room kitchen area was the center of the cabin and made gathering for meals, games, and TV fun. Fireplace very nice!!! Stocked well with pots and pans and casserole dishes. We only ate out once. Easy access to the slopes. Not exactly a ski in and ski out but just a short walk out the back door and across a parking lot gets you to the lifts. Would definitely recommend and would rent the Ski Hive again.

  Wonderful property, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped for all our needs.
  There are no many board games for families to play (or I did not find them). Walking distance from the lift if you go to ski. I would rent it again!

  The house was wonderful, really felt more like a home. The house had every known gadget, pot, pan or utensils you could ever desire. Nice selection of beds with different levels of firmness. Overall the place was really clean. Our only recommendation to the owners, would be to replace the two black chairs in the living room with oversized recliners. Would be happy to purchase this house if you ever want to sell.

  a guest from New York, NY recommends this vacation rental

  We loved Ski Hive! Plenty of beds to spread out, good kitchen and dining table, comfy living area, incredible hot tub (feels very clean and new), and being walking distance from Timberline is truly amazing! The couches/chairs/linens could have been slightly higher quality, or decor a bit lighter and brighter in general, but otherwise we had no complaints. Very quiet neighborhood and peaceful area, and only a 15 minute drive from the big city (Davis) for food and essentials.
