    This was the perfect home base for a quick two-night trip. The location couldn't have been better—we loved being so close to the hiking trails and getting outside right away! After a long day of hiking, the comfortable beds and cozy space were exactly what we needed to relax. Highly recommend this property.

We had a great bonfire, cooked on the grill, walked the trails and walked to the beautiful creek right on the property. Only good things to say about THE Garagemahal! Beautiful area!

The inside was immaculate and stocked with everything we needed for the week. They even include a sofa cover if you are bringing your doggy. Perfect location for activities in Canaan, Davis, Thomas, Spruce Knob….Chip and Laurie respond to messages quickly. Our child became very ill the night before check out and Laurie was understanding and compassionate that we could not complete the check out list. We definitely plan to return.

    We stayed here for a weekend in March with our kids (5 & 8) and had a blast. It's a great spot with lots of land to explore. We found some really cool waterfalls behind the house in the woods. The snow season was over so we missed XC skiing but we definitely will be back. Close to Blackwater Falls park and the town of Davis.

    A friend and I rendezvoused in the Canaan Valley in early November to hike in the nearby Dolly Sods and other trails in the area. Garagemahal was exactly as advertised: clean, quiet, spacious (for two people), and conveniently located. The owners/managers (Chip and Laurie), who live across the driveway, were friendly and available to provide information or report problems to (there weren't any), but were otherwise unobtrusive. We will return.

    This was the perfect 3-night family getaway for our family! We drove from PA and our daughter met us there from KY. We enjoyed Seneca Rocks (about 30-min away) and Glade cave in VA (2-hr drive). The owners of this home have thought of absolutely everything to make your stay the MOST enjoyable! The home is updated, extremely clean, and well very organized. The owners had excellent communication throughout with very clear instructions hanging on fridge upon arrival. The bath towels are big & soft and the sheets & quilts were so cozy! The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need! The location is quiet and relaxing. Despite our rainy weather for 2 of the 3 days, we still had a fabulous time at our Home Away From Home. Trust us, you will not regret your stay here at the Garagemahal (and we still chuckle at the name). Love it!
