Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house overall was ok. Some of the issues we had was the furnace for the living room and kitchen broke down the 2nd night. The hot water tank for the main bedroom and upstairs bedroom only lasted long enough for 1 and 1/2 showers. The hot tub was just hot water, no jets. The house needs a little upkeep.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was disappointed in the house. Some construction was going on and it was not in the best condition. Several outlets in the house did not work. The family room smelled musty. Overall, the house and furniture felt old and used! When I opened the windows to get some air in the house, the casings were full of dirt. I had to clean them all out before I left the windows open. The fan in the family room only worked part time.

Decent property had a very nice stay,my granddaughter loved it.She made friends with the big bear stuffed animal,she cried when we left because she didn’t want to leave him.My only complaint would be we would’ve liked to know about the canoe you can use no one told us until we asked another visitor who was on the dock by then it was our last night and it started to rain.Also you pay a $65 fee for the hot tub which doesn’t even work got in and rite back out very disappointed.Other than that we had an awesome time thank you so much for sharing your property with us.?

Owners need to finish outside roof repairs, but this does not impinge on inside stay. Hiked. Used hot tub. Visited nearby state parks. Lovely time

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property is very private even though it is towards the front of Old Timberline. This makes it very convenient to get in and out. The house could use some updates and some TLC. The owners appear to be slowly working on the property. The house was stocked with everything we needed. The management company was absolutely wonderful! They were friendly, helpful, and attentive. Would definitely recommend renting through Best of Canaan.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. 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 recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rent from Best of Canaan because of the community and access to Dolly Sods. The grandkids love fishing in the little lakes, the dog loves running around, and we all love the quick access to some of the best Dolly Sods hiking (high ground so no mud!). It’s a great place to chill and explore.The big negative: the house was so dirty. The dishes in the cabinets were dirty, there was human hair literally on dishes and in pots. Hair stuck on the chairs and sofas that a quick vacuum would take care of. Mice droppings in the kitchen drawers. The kind of dust that shows neglect on wall hangings, furniture. So I’m torn. We LOVE the location and the basic vibe of the house, and I’m not a germaphobe—we had our dog and grandkids—we get messy too. But this was just neglect, which is frustrating to see given the house’s potential. The bathrooms were clean. I would recommend to a friend but be honest about the condition of the place.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Even without AC, this house was overall a great place to be. I love the layout of the house and how comfortable the furniture is. The place DOES smell like dog, especially some of the beds, so make sure to have air freshener and plenty of laundry detergent to try to wash out the smell! Also, the hot tub is small (fits 4 comfortably) so be mindful of that. Many of the outlets do not actually work when you try to plug in devices. Otherwise, this place was a perfect getaway and close to many cool sites like Blackwater Falls! Would definitely visit again. :)

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 1. Bathroom off kitchen leaking water.2. Few window screens; those there are full of holes. With no air-conditioning this invited bugs.3.Several lights have bulbs that don't work.4. House is in run down condition, especially exterior.5. Down stairs bed room, bathroom, has missing towel bar.6. The house has mice in it (Observed).This house has great potential but appears to suffer from neglect.
The location was perfect. No close neighbors and no noise. A little disappointed that several of the Eateries listed on the brochure were closed, but we found sufficient places to eat. The house was outdated, but we had everything we needed. Plenty of kitchen paraphernalia to cook most anything. Plenty of towels. The beds were very firm, downright hard. Wood was provided for the fireplace and fire pit. The jacuzzi and pool table were a hit. I would recommend this place for family getaways. I would caution people who have difficulty with stairs as the living room is sunken. Fans were provided, but we got hot a few times as there was no air conditioning.
