Westwood-Very Private - Blackwater Canyon Trail- 1 mile from Thomas

The house is in a wonderful location - private yet close to a few small towns and central to great hiking/state parks. House is comfortable for a family, dog friendly, and kitchen is well-stocked. Back patio (with gas grill) beautiful spot for dinners, and large lawn for playing games. We plan to come back!

What a nice, clean, and private location. Great walk into Thomas. The house was clean and welcoming. You have to try out the claw-foot tub!

Lovely property to visit. Highly recommended.

There is no hot tub or jacuzzi tub and the furnace is very noisy. The house was great and the river across the road was great

4th time here. Never lets us down. Fabulous quite place with relaxing views!

House was clean and had everything we needed. Very quiet location and perfect for our family of 4 humans and one dog!

Host never sent me the check-in code for the house. I sent a message in the chat and never heard back. I had to call the Host for the code. When I walked into the house, it was still dirty from the previous guest staying. I called the Host and let them know. Host said he would give me a refund for the house, not being cleaned and said we didn’t have to stay there. I told him we were from out of state, didn’t know the area and had a dog and would just stay. I never heard from the host again after that. The property of the house was really beautiful and we enjoyed that part of the trip.

We really enjoyed our stay here.The house is much larger than it seems. We loved the cozy fireplace and the sight of deer outside our window every morning. The proximity to Canaan Valley was a great advantage. We highly recommend this place!

Very warm and cozy.

What a great home! We stayed for a week. There was about 6 to 8 inches of snow when we arrived. The road was plowed, covered with a dusting, but had no issue getting to the house. The owners were very accommodating and very helpful. The house is fully stocked and furnished (dishes, pots, pans, towels, silverware, blankets, pillows, etc.) The property was amazing! Very serene and peaceful. You could hear the creek nearby. We ventured all over the property. Very close to Blackwater Falls state park - where we spent most of our time. Thank you for being so accommodating and providing a very peaceful vacation!

Cleanliness and homey

This is our second stay here. Great place and great location. If you like to cook, and we do, the kitchen is pretty well stocked. The house is very dog friendly. The fireplace is wonderful. We will definitely return. Tip- get firewood from Shop and Save (larger, dry pieces) versus end of the road stand (very small pieces that are wet and moldy).

Was a perfect place! Cant wait to book again!

Property was maintained beautifully. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Very clean and orderly house. House flies kept appearing, however. Lots of books and games to entertain you. Fully equipped kitchen is a plus. Easy access to Thomas and Davis by car, or Thomas by foot path.The furnace fan motor was so loud the floor vibrated. Eventually noise disappeared. Internet router lost connectivity daily. I texted owner; no reply. Router looks old. Hauling out trash at end of stay was not inconvenient but would have appreciated a heads up beforehand-maybe I missed those instructions. The dumpster at the transfer station at end of street was overflowing with trash bags; the parking lot was dirty, dusty, and dry. This calls out for an alternative method.

Peaceful and cozy. Autumn colors surrounded the property. The house was well equiped and very accommodating.

Great quiet place. Perfect for exploring area

Wonderful place. The location is ideal. Walking distance to both the nice little town of Thomas one way down a river path and water falls the other direction. Easy drive to Blackwater Falls and everything else this hiker's paradise has to offer. Would definitely come back here again.

We had a great time staying here for two nights.

Negative: No A/C. and broken ceiling fan in the bedroom.Dead rat and rat droppings in the kitchen area. Every untencil and dish that was used had to be prewashed. No hot tub or jetted tub, although they are listed in the accommodations.Main bathroom showerhead broke the first night, and we had to buy a new one. Smoke detector was laying on the bedroom nightstand and not usable.Positive: location to the town and waterfalls was great!

House was clean and comfortable. E-biking the Blackwater Canyon Trail to Hendricks and back was wonderful, the trail is feet from the house. Nearby Douglas Falls is great. Blackwater Falls State Park is just a few miles away. So many other outdoor activities nearby. We picked this destination because my wife began researching her genealogy a few years ago and found that her mother’s family was deeply embedded in the history of Tucker County. She found a story at the library about an ancestor of hers who was lost for five days crossing Backbone Mountain from Sugar Lands to Thomas. This is the national forest area that is adjacent to Westwood (you can see the wind turbines on backbone mountain from the house). If we return, we’d definitely stay here again.

Lovely place with a spacious yard for our dogs to play/lounge after hiking the area. Enjoyed ourselves a lot!

Dana and I very much enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return if it is still available.

Same as first. Great location at end of street with awesome country views. We will most definitely return!

This space was the absolute perfect place for our family to get away to and unwind. The location is peaceful and easy to find - and so conveniently located to the shops in Thomas. Having a space that also thoughtfully considers what’s necessary to be “dog friendly” was another huge perk.We absolutely will be back!

The property is close to major attractions but away from town. It's the last house on a dead-end street with only one other home. Note: the neighbors have two off-leash labs that came to the property daily. Be mindful if your dog is also off-leash. I was not concerned they would bite or attack, but they barked a lot when out. It was quiet (when neighbor dogs weren't out) and secluded. The place was nicer than the pictures. The kitchen was stocked (just bring cooking oil or butter). I would stay here again if I were visiting. Bring tissues and soap/toiletries.

Awesome location. Close to town. Yet a nice country view. Place was very clean and on par with what we expected. The only issue is the steps and deck weren't shoveled. Other than that I would highly recommend staying here. A wonderful place!

If you're looking for a very cozy and clean place to stay this is it. Very comfortable for six people and the location was amazing. Very much enjoyed our stay and looking forward to staying there again.

Property was just as described.

#1 - Nowhere in property description did owner mention the virtual inaccessibility of this property in wintry conditions. Four wheel drive vehicle is the only way to reach the house given the steep winding road. As a result, most of our single free day in the area involved finding a tow truck to wench out of deep snow one of our vehicles. Owner’s negligence further manifested in treacherous snow covered stairs leading to property. At least, they had a flimsy plastic snow shovel available which was used to clear the compacted snow and ice while we awaited the tow truck. (Would have preferred hiking in nearby state parks, but oh well.) #2 - Despite their obligatory $100 cleaning fee, this house was the dirtiest property experienced across decades of renting through VRBO: moldy showers, dust covered heating vents, dust clinging to walls, filthy oven, etc.

Wonderful place. Very clean, relaxing, charming place. Many things to do in the surrounding nature, with a lot of history. Highly recommended.

Great property with plenty of room. All the amenities we needed! Thanks!

Had a great time at Westwood.Liked seeing ll the deer in our front yard. Home was great for our needs.

Awesome time here. Lots to do nearby

Westwood property was located in a pristine corner close to the hiking trail which we caught to get to Douglas falls. The property was really clean, spacious, with a well stocked kitchen. It is so close to black water state falls park, Canaan valley resort . We are looking forward to coming back again.

Nice and quiet place to relax. Enjoyed our return visit.

We went to enjoy fall color in WV. Westwood is a beautiful home. Saw lots of deer and there were many spots around the house to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. I would love to return to this wonderful place!

The property was outstanding. So beautiful. There was an apple tree which was a big hit with the Deer. A very cute town with some shopping and a few places for dinner. The house was old and needs some updates however very clean and well stocked.

We took a somewhat spontaneous trip to this house. We've rented in the area many times, but we really loved how comfortable the house was and the location. We took our pups and really, really appreciate the house being dog friendly. We will be back soon. This is our new pick for our trips to this area.
