The home is nestled in a quite mountain neighborhood with private access to the 500 acre Timberline Conservancy with two lakes and miles of walking trails. It's located in Canaan Valley, WV, the largest high-elevationvalley east of the Mississippi, and surrounded by the million-acre Monongahela National Forest, the Dolly Sods Wilderness, and the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge, with trails connecting directly into these areas right from the community. Decorated throughout with vintage National Park artwork, Ranger Station is the perfect base camp for everything from refreshing nature walks to hiking, biking, paddling, and skiing adventures.

    Our group of 4 had a great stay at the Ranger Station. It was spacious, comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. We'd stay there again.

    Everything here was awesome. Loved the upgrades. Learning how to lovk the doors or use the stove top took some time. Would be nice to leave instructions. This was our 3rd visit to the Ranger Station and we will be back. It is very well taken care of and very relaxing. Our dog Chief felt right at home. We even enjoyed the daily visit from the local deer. I would highly recommend this house for a vacation

    This house was beautiful and had everything you would need on vacation. It was very peaceful located in a great neighborhood. It was very dog friendly as we had our two large dogs here for four days with no difficulties. All of the technology in the house was new and updated. Also loved all of the board games they kept in the house.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house accommodated seven adults very well. Although we didn’t use many of the amenities, the kitchen had everything we needed and then some. The living area was spacious and the outdoor porches/decks were definitely enjoyed! Absolutely fabulous!

    Our family group of 5 plus a dog stayed at Ranger Station for Memorial Day weekend. The house was beautiful....just as shown in the photos. The living/dining/kitchen area was comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything you could ever want. Better than most rentals I have stayed in. There were books and games galore and we actually had a game night. The TV was great as well. The bedrooms were nice, but the bathrooms win the prize! Wonderful showers and fancy toilets!We had a little trouble with the furnace but the staff was right on top of it, providing us with small heaters for the bedrooms (it was pretty chilly at night). We made use of the wood burning fireplace in the evenings and it was great...it made the living area toasty warm. We will definitely be staying here again!

    Our family ski weekend was a huge success due to the Ranger Station and there being plenty of snow still on the ground to XC ski. We ( Grandparents 60, Adult son,DiL, 9yr & 6yr & 25lb dog) enjoyed the comfortable and spacious open and well equipped kitchen/dining/living room. The National Parks theme was tastefully carried through each room. Any issues we had were responded to and resolved ( wood supply, garage door) with one phone call. We would definitely stay again.

    The Ranger Station is a beautiful property with everything you could need. It appears to have been recently renovated and the style and decor were wonderful, we particularly loved the national park themes throughout the house. The kitchen was well equipped and while we did not use them there was also plenty of things in the garage like skis etc. I would note tho that although the backyard is fenced in, there were areas that were not secure, so if you have a dog just beware. The location is great for skiing or hiking. Overall a great experience!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time staying at this house. The house is beautiful and very accommodating. Especially loved the heated toilet seat seats. lol. Things that could be improved upon the Check in/out procedure. You have to drive to a rental office to pick up and drop off keys and then drive another 10 minutes or so to the house itself. Would be easier to have a code lock on the door and be able to get in the house that way. They need to have more toilet paper and garbage bags at the house. Front door is very difficult to lock and one of the windows in the back bedroom would not lock. When we arrived in December, 5 windows were unlocked. I was not strong enough to lock them, but luckily my son used all of his strength to lock all but one of them that just wouldn’t lock. The house is in a beautiful nature preserve but still, I felt more comfortable having all of the windows locked so I didn’t like that that one did not lock. Also, there are no window blinds in the main living room so cars is driving by can look right in at night. There is only one TV, but some families might prefer more than that. The timberline Ski Resort is located immediately outside of the nature preserve so it was a great location to the house.

    This was a perfect trip. The cabin was amazing. All 3 generations loved it. The view of the pond was wonderful. It was also very close to the slopes and to town. We loved walking in the neighborhood. Thank you for sharing such a special place. We will definitely be back!

    Our family comes to Canaan mostly for hiking and this property was perfect for us. Access to Valley View and Dolly Sods is wonderful. We saw many beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Davis is a great little town to visit, along with Blackwater Falls. Love it!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Ranger Station has been remodeled and upgraded amenities. The house was great before, we stayed there last year, but the remodel was a very pleasant surprise. Both bathrooms are now have SMART features which are very nice. The kitchen has SMART appliances and the kitchen cabinet remodel is BEAUTIFUL. The new furniture is comfy and the new flooring adds a special flare to the rooms. The new fans and SMART controls were a nice touch. The new door locks were a small problem, but maintenance was quick to assist. The new version of this house has just been open for a few weeks, so there is always small things to correct. The landscaping and new outdoor furniture is nice.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful experience while staying at Ranger Station. The house had everything we needed & beyond. The house, linens, towels, everything was spotless. Very impressive upgrades, including all appliances. We visited during May but would love to stay during the winter,the fireplace was just spectacular. The boys really enjoyed the pond. Being from the area put me right back in touch with nature, the views are breathtaking. Best of Canaan very responsive and accommodating. Loved the National Parks theme throughout the house and the lovely welcoming basket with WV goodies. Will definitely book here again! Thank you Best of Canaan for being so accommodating.
