The dictionary tells us that a lodge is a place where one-or in this case 18-come to rest. BINGO! This fantastic 8 bedroom home provides the convenience of slope side skiing on Timberline Mountains Winterset Trail. Love it!! Year-round Lost River Lodge offers comfortable accommodations. Perfect for a family or friend reunion, enjoy well thought out amenities that include multiple TV’s, WIFI, a fully equipped kitchen, wood burning fireplace and more! Professional or amateur astronomers will love spending part of the evening in the outdoor hot tub. It’s a short drive to Blackwater Falls, Thomas, and Davis. For sure this one is a win/win!

  We've been staying 4 nights at Lost River Lodge, both summer and winter for over 20 years. We've always enjoyed enjoyed our stay, and this year was no exception. We've booked again for summer '25, and look forward to it already. The house comfortably fits our 8 couples. The house is beginning to show a little bit of minor wear though, but nothing serious.

  We loved our stay at the Lost River Lodge and I have to say working with Andi was a delight. The cabin was rented for a ladies only group retreat we stayed 3 nights and the cabin was very spacious throughout and plenty of great outdoor space on the deck ad well. We would Definitely recommend and we hope to be back again if the opportunity comes up again. Thank you Andi and staff at The Best of Canaan. TWC life group.

  We took a multifamily vacation to this house. 15 people, and we never felt crowded. A lot of the furniture is older, but it’s very sturdy. The house is very clean. Hot tub worked great and was a wonderful treat for the kids. Right on the ski slope. The kitchen was equipped with so many pots pans, and all the things that you would need to cook family dinners as well as coffee pots, and Keurig. Also a second fridge in the laundry room. Office staff were extremely friendly and helpful when we had trouble with the Wi-Fi. (Our fault, not theirs)Would recommend to anyone.

  Always look forward to staying at this location. A few plumbing glitches which were taken care of immediately (thank you maintenance). Excellent time of year to experience Cannan Valley. Some furniture removed since past year and not replaced. Hot tub cover and headrests could use improving. Loved the Adirondack polywood chairs(a few additional would be excellent). Overall love coming here.

  a guest from Burlington, ON recommends this vacation rental

  The space was great for our group of 11 adults. We felt it could have been cleaner. Some of the furniture is tired and worn as are the pots and pans. The BBQ was very dirty. The roof leaked so the couch was wet and we had a rainy week. TV converters were missing in bedrooms and some not working properly. We made the best of the trip and had a good time anyway.

  We take 4 days every spring to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Canaan Valley. Our group, of approximately 16 adults has been doing this for almost 40 years. We love the place. We started by staying during only winter months, but, due to age have pretty much switched to summer. The hiking and comeraderie are the most popular activities, and we still ski a little bit. Lost River Lodge provides a well-equipped, pleasant experience, that is centrally located.

  Jessie T from Ripley, WV recommends this vacation rental

  Lost River Lodge was the perfect place for our family of 13 to celebrate the 4 th of July weekend! The cabin is absolutely beautiful with a bedroom and bath for each family. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of dishes and utensils for use while you stay. You will need to provide extra garbage bags, paper towels and dishwashing detergent if you cook a lot. Our family enjoyed the large dining table for family meals. The bedrooms had either king or queen beds. Our grandson enjoyed his own room with twin beds. The family also enjoyed the large deck and hot tub. We also had a fire in the fire pit each evening. Canaan Valley and the darling towns of Thomas and Davis provided much to do. We had dinner at Milo’s Cafe and it was delicious! All in all it was a very enjoyable weekend and the cabin was great! The only recommendation I would make is that the two grills need to be replaced. The propane grill would not light and the charcoal grill has seen it’s better days. Other than that, it was a perfect place to stay! We would love to return!

  • Manager Responded on 8/2/2022

    Thank you for your review on Lost River Lodge. We appreciate your feedback on the grills and are having our maintenance staff take a look. Hope you have you and your family back soon!

  We were fortunate to book this property for our group of friends who has been enjoying annual ski trip to Timberline for over 15 years. The location is fabulous and the layout and room configuration worked out perfectly for 5 couples +. The hot tub was 🔥, the game table saw some competition and the large long high dining table hosted some good games as well. The couch is dangerous, if you want to stay awake! The kitchen had all the essentials, including crockpot. The home was clean and comfortable. Beware, this property will be booked annually by our group...

  Love the house and location. The stove and microwave quite old and slow (especially gas stove). The towels, hot pads... are really starting to show wear and discolor as are some of the pots and pans. The DVD player on mail floor (not ground level)tv room does not work (didn't last yr either)...blueray might be nice since most DVD's are now this if you bring your own. Also the sectional couch in main floor left reclining section leans sideways when reclined (just to let you know)other furniture in good shape. It would be nice to have the Tv on 3rd floor slopeside master up on a higher stand since can't see the whole screen when in bed (too low). Love the layout, view of slope, gas fireplace, big table for our family gathering, nice hot tub. Cathedral ceiling light bulbs need replacing (only 2 out of 6 worked) as did lights over island in kitchen and several other places. Master king mattress on main floor is quite worn. We didn't find dish detergent or laundry detergent there when arrived (think this was mentioned in the new write-up). Also a few bathrooms didn't have spare toilet paper roll but all had soap and liquid soap at sink which was great. These comments may seem picky but just some suggestions to make the stay even more enjoyable.
