Canaan Valley, West Virginia
Goldilocks would love this place! All that’s missing is Mama Bear, but I am sure you will be bringing her along. Big Bear/Little Bear features 8 bedrooms! Six bedrooms in the main house and two more in the nearby apartment, create sleeping space for 24 happy campers! Of course, this won’t feel at all like camping. With two kitchens, one large and one small, meals are sure to be a wonderful opportunity to share stories about today and develop plans for tomorrow. At some point, rest will be required. No problem. You can unwind with a favorite TV show, play a game of cards, or shoot a game of pool. Rest and get ready! Winter visitors will love the short walk to Timberline Mountain’s Dew Drop Trail. In every season Big Bear/Little Bear provides easy access to hiking and biking trails. It is a short drive to Blackwater Falls, Canaan Resort, Seneca Rocks and more. I know you are going to want to come back again and again.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we had a great family vacation. The check-in experience was very easy and the property managers, friendly, and welcoming. We found the property description accurate. A few mild criticisms or disappointments would be: finding leaves all over the walkways and right up to the doors, gives the appearance of uncared for property so made for poor initial impressions. My thought was, for the price we paid, having at least the majority of the leaves blown off those places would have made a much better impression. Then, there were a good number of cobwebs throughout the house, which does not leave a good impression. Then finally, the single beds on the main floor, where the kitchen is, have very sharp points and edges on their bedframe. My daughter-in-law tore clothing on them and cut a finger and because they had children sleeping on those beds, they had to cover them with towels to keep the children from getting hurt.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was beautiful-views from the expansive decks were amazing and we had the perfect amount of privacy. Our party of 20 had plenty of space to enjoy ourselves. The rain showerhead in the first floor full bathroom was a treat, we had everything needed (and more) in the kitchen to prepare Thanksgiving dinner, and the cart in the garage made loading and unloading the cars much easier! Canaan never disappoints and this home provided the backdrop for a wonderful family getaway where many memories were made.
We really loved our stay at Big Bear Little Bear! The home was so comfortable with lots of space for everyone. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed the outdoors, hiking, caving, and enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery. Visitors should be warned however to bring their own food as it is really difficult to find a place to dine nearby and grocery stores are hard to find and not close. Most dining establishments are open only on weekends. And be prepared to pay in cash. Disruptions in internet seem to be frequent and can cause closings. Driving long distances on unimproved roads is necessary to reach the most spectacular views and hiking. But well worth it!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The properties were perfect for our large group, especially having two kitchen areas for food storage and preparation. We had all the amenities needed for the week, and the management office had excellent communication. There were a few dusty areas, and the carpeting was badly stained, but otherwise we found it clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay so much that we've put Big Bear/Little Bear on our vacation rotation list.
We had a group of 9 adults and 7 kids ranging from 6 months - 12 years old. There was plenty of space between the two buildings, with beds to spare! The main house is where we spent the majority of the time. The eating area inside accommodated 8 people at the main table, four at the counter and three at a smaller side table. Most meals were consumed outside on the deck picnic tables. There were some minor inconveniences but nothing that really took away from the overall experience. Laundry facilities were excellent, with two washers/dryers in the main house and an additional washer/dryer in the garage apartment. Both houses were well equipped with everything we needed for meal prep and cooking, with the main house having two fridges and two dishwashers - we never ran out of space. The grounds were small - a very small front area of grass/rocks, and a slightly larger back area that was wooded. The only downside for our group was the lack of space for outdoor activities such as a badminton, volleyball, etc. But there is a nice park in Davis 20 minutes away where we were able to do the outdoor activities we had planned. The three car garage was available for use, and it was where we stored a lot of activity items to avoid clutter in the house. If you need the garage for parking, it obviously adds three spaces in addition to the driveway where we were able to fit a large truck, a minivan, two kayak trailers and three cars. We had an awesome stay!
The Cabin is huge. Plenty of Bathrooms and Bedrooms . Big back porch with chairs and Picnic tables. Our family reunion of 25 really enjoyed the stay
Great place for large group of people. Clean, specious. Great location.
The property was phenomenal! We had everything we needed for a group of 19. The weather was not ideal, and the there was so much to do without being outside. My family absolutely loved this place, and would recommend many times over.
Our family of 18 had a great time staying a this beautiful mountain house. There was plenty of room for all us and super comfortable. The kids had a ton of fun with the pool table, their own family room, bunk room and hottub! There were great walking paths and it was fun seeing the skiers on our walks enjoy the start of the season. We'd highly recommend this property for large families and we hope to be back!
Wonderful experience. Everyone loved the location and the facility. Rave reviews. Would recommend and would stay there again. Very clean and comfortable. Thank you
This house was perfect for a large family especially with multiple teenagers and adults. There was plenty of space for everyone! The house is very well equipped with plates, pans, knives, etc. Which made cooking for a large group much much easier! There is great hiking, walking, and canoeing close by…an all around great trip!
I stayed here with 20+ adults and had an amazing time. Bedding and privacy for just about everyone. Could 10 cars in the driveway/garage as long as they aren't all larger than sedans. 15 minutes to grocery store and 15 minutes to multiple amazing hikes in Dolly Sods. Would absolutely stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a wonderful stay we, a family of 18, had at Big Bear, Little Bear” home rental in Davis, WV. It was very clean from the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas to the Hot Tub. Furnishings in living areas and bedrooms were very comfortable with plenty of room to stretch out and relax. The main dining table hosted many meals but the nightly card games were the best. Quick response to an empty propane tank saved our dinner plans, THANKS! Kitchen (Wolf stove)and game rooms(ping pong hit with grandkids) were well supplied. Outdoor areas very private, trees all around the property, great sitting areas to relax one with a gas fireplace another a hot tub. Yes we will come back to this wonderful home rental!
We had our family reunion here and it was the perfect place for the 15 of us. We were very comfortable and able to relax. Thanks for a great place!
