  Nice house with a few glitches. The downstairs TV had no remote and could not be used. The hot tub took a very long time to warm up but did eventually. Spots on the couch were not clean, but overall an ok experience.

  a guest from Roanoke, VA recommends this vacation rental

  Here’s how you know the house and amenities were top notch- you spend a lot of time in there due to rain! Seriously, rained the entire time we were there. Spent one day on the slopes and one day in town, lots of time in the house. Small hot tub that cools quickly but we boiled water and just kept refilling to keep it hot. Everyone slept comfortably in all the beds and plenty of towels for the hot tub and showers! I’d suggest bringing extra paper towels, we only had one roll and used them quickly. Great stay, will be back!

  • Manager Responded on 3/23/2021

    Hi Brooke, Sorry about all the rain! That must have put a damper on things. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Craig's Cherry Woods other wise though and thank you for the information on the hot tub we will definitely check on that. We hope to have you back again soon!

  Great location - minutes from timberline, 10 minutes to Canaan valley ski slopes and ski white grass! Great spot. Great accommodations, open floor plan, gas fireplace, half-hot tub, really everything you need. If you need your downhill gear worked on or rentals go to driftland in Davis and talk to Ian!!
  
  If you’re hankering for a backcountry experience that is freedom check out ski white grass.

  My fiancee and I, along with our two friends, just needed to get out of our hometown for a few days, and this was the perfect place to come! The house was big enough for everyone to spread out, while not feeling too large or overwhelming. The hot tub, grill, and deck area were perfect! Neighbors were close by, but you honestly couldn't even tell they were there most of the time. For a get away, it was perfect. However, if you are looking to be close to a lot of shops, restaurants, etc. this is not the location for you.

  James B from Silver Spring, MD recommends this vacation rental

  Myself and some friends rented this house from Thursday till Sunday. We used this as a jumping off point to hike Dolly Sods, Shenandoah, Timberline, and Blackriver Falls. The house was well equipped, with the kitchen having most items (only one baking sheet could be found), the hot tub was in good shape, and the house overall was clean and cozy. The grill and deck area was especially good- the grill has a hard gas line and the deck area is quite large here. The house is pretty private, and though we were there when there was no snow, the house is likely walking distance to the slopes.

  • Manager Responded on 11/10/2020

  East to find. Reasonably convenient to the locations we visited - Blackwater Falls, Seneca Caverns, Blackwater Outdoor Adventures. There was a lot we could not do because of Covid 19 but there was still enough to fill our week. Hot tub was ok but small for a place that sleep 8. It would not let the temperature go above 96 and lid was difficult to handle. Grill was great but don't forget your own foil or pans to use as grates were quite rusty and dirty. It says to bring your own soap, shampoo etc so don't forget to bring dishwasher soap.

  a guest from Dunn, North Carolina recommends this vacation rental

  The house overall was in great shape and great for our family...we only left for a couple hours over the whole weekend due to horrible ski conditions. It was in a great location, and comfortable. We love to cook when we are on vacation, and that was the only problem we encountered. The amount of pot and pan (there was more than one, but barely) was lacking and made cooking for the family challenging. On the bright side, it allowed us to become creative and spend more time together anyway, so basically a win. I would definitely stay here again, I will just bring a couple pans with me ?. Great property.

  We rented the house for 4 days for New Year Eve. It is located very close to the slopes (~10 min walk, ~2 min by car).

  The area has a lot of activities (winter and summer).

  Craig's Cherry Wood was a lovely home!!! It was very clean and welcoming. My only suggestion would be to beef up the kitchen items. Measuring spoons, additional cookie sheet, large stock pot, and a meat platter. Only other suggestion would be to have a blanket available to all bedrooms because it got cold Saturday night. These things I mention are trivial, I would most defiently stay her again. Best of Canaan was wonderful to work with!!!

  Kudos to Best of Canaan staff. The property was ready early, which worked out perfectly to unload the car before a sunny Thursday afternoon of skiing.

  The location is great, within walking distance of the slopes.
  
  Everything in the house was exceptionally nice. It was well maintained, clean, and very warm. The loft is great for children to play in and the rental agency responded quickly when we needed help with the gas fireplace.
  There are waterproof covers on the mattress, which don't breath well, so if you sleep hot, beware. The beds were very comfy, though.
  The hottub was clean, but the walls could use a good scrubbing to remove the hard water buildup.

  Chad B from Goshen, Kentucky recommends this vacation rental

  We had two families stay here for a ski weekend in February 2015. Each family had two young kids, so the bunk beds for the boys and the full size bed for the girls worked out well. We never felt cramped in the house.
  The location was perfect for skiing at Timberline and Canaan Valley.
  The house seemed to be in good shape, though we had an issue with the plumbing that required a quick search for the plunger. Also, one of the mattresses was wrapped in plastic, which made the bed a bit loud and less comfortable.
  We cooked several meals in the kitchen and the large table in the eat-in kitchen seated everyone well.
  The management staff was kind enough to run up a can opener after a through search turned up no tools to open a can. The check-in and out process was a breeze.

  • Manager Responded on 6/23/2015

    Thanks for taking time to complete the survey on your stay at Craig's Cherry Woods. We wanted to let you know that the store covering has been removed from all of the new mattresses. The beds have been equipped with comfy, new mattress pad covers. Should make a good night's rest even better!

  This place was super good for 2 families with kids. The home is quite cozy and we would definitely come back. The price was right, and even a bit of a bargain for what you get (we've stayed in many places in Canaan!)
  The only thing I didn't like was that the hot tub was rather small but functional for 3 people. The fireplace was Gas (not wood), which is going to be a plus for some people, but it wasn't my thing because I like to chop me some wood when i'm on vacation in the mountains. These are overall minor issues compared with other places we've stayed.

The hot tub was a big plus. We found lots to do in nearby Davis and took long hikes in the Whitegrass area. On our fourth day we woke up to snow. Who could ask for more!

  Management staff were terrific, they went out of their way to provide a crock pot and griddle for us as this house had neither item. Many light bulbs burned out, 3 of the 6 over dining table were out. The dining table needs to be replaced-end leaves are very loose and about to collapse, 3 of the dining chairs had loose rungs and would easily break. All beds were extremely hard. Mattress on sofa sleeper in loft appears to be a left over mattress from World War II. Kitchen rug was easily tripped over. I recommend rock salt be left in shed for ice emergency on front porch steps.
