GAC is a beautiful piece of property with 6 cabins all beautifully appointed & immaculately clean. These are Adult only cabins with privacy certainly taken into consideration. My wife and I have stayed here 3 years in a row and we absolutely love the area, lots of trails for hiking, a near by Golf Course at Canaan Valley Resort, Seneca Rocks are close by for day time activities. The towns of Davis and Thomas are also close by with tons of good shops, breweries, and restaurants. We absolutely love this part of the country. The cabins have everything you need whether you want to stay in and cook in their fully equipped kitchen, all you need to bring is food & drinks! There are even Charcoal grills at every cabin and the Jacuzzi hot tubs are perfect to pass the mornings & evenings away. Our cabin Serenity had a pool table and bubble hockey game upstairs. Plenty of DVD's, dish network tv, puzzles, books, and some games. The beds are a little firm for our taste, but that is really the only negative that I have. Not ridiculous but just wish they were softer. We can't wait to go back next year! read more

Okay, I need everyone looking at this review to take my advice and book a cabin at this phenomenal Luxury Cabin Resort. I call it a resort because it absolutely fits the definition of a resort which is a place that is a popular destination for vacations or recreation, or which is frequented for a particular purpose. The destination is popular for all Canaan Valley activities (skiing, horse back riding, cavern exploration, etc). We frequent these cabins for recreation, relaxation, rest and recuperation. The cabins are second to none and the attention to detail is simply amazing. The cabins are decorated with five star quality and they all present that home away from home feeling. The kitchens have all the appliances, dishes, pots and pans that you need in order to prepare those home cooked meals while living in your home away from home. This was our second time visiting this luxury cabin resort and we decided to bring our brother and sister along for a birthday celebration. My wife and I stayed in the Royale Cabin and my Brother and sister stayed in the Majestic Cabin. When we arrived we walked right into our cabin and were amazed by the captivating appeal. The soft music was playing in the background and the cozy gas fireplace had the place warm and toasty inside. Both cabins were even meticulously decorated for Christmas holiday which was a very nice touch. Daniel & Jamie Marsh are Simply Outstanding and you can tell that they care about their customers experience. They have thought of everything in order to make your stay extremely enjoyable and relaxing to include the jacuzzi/Hot tub which was excellent during the winter nights. We will FOREVER support them and this astonishing luxury cabin resort because they understand professionalism, quality, customer appeal and customer service. What are you waiting for.....BOOK IT NOW!! read more

Awesome honeymoon stay! Cabin was very clean and had everything we needed! Plenty of privacy and beautiful views nearby including black water falls which is only 15 mins away. Owners were very professional and accommodating. Highly recommend! read more

Gorgeous amazing couples retreat. The rooms are gorgeous, sparking clean, romantic music and candles as you walk in. Fully stocked kitchen, private hot tub, king size bed, and large bathroom including 2 person shower and heated towels racks. Amazing place to explore hiking, golfing, skiing, relax, etc. Highly recommended! read more

My wife and I honeymooned here 3 years ago. We were looking to get away from the crowds and just hang out by ourselves and that's exactly what we got. The cabin we stayed in, the King, was nicely appointed. Through the front windows we had an AWESOME view of the ridges leading up to Dolly Sods, and we enjoyed all the amenities like a private hot tub out back, big shower and the big porch. Ron and Rella, the owners, were great at meeting all of our needs as well. If you get a chance, chat with Ron over a drink about how he came to own a set of cabins in West Virginia; he's had quite the life so far. Please note: I will say that one potential issue for folks could be the food. When we went the restaurant across the field in the barn wasn't that great (not terrible, just not notable either). The big problem here is that there's not really any restaurants or even grocery stores until you get about 25 minutes down the road (there's a Shop 'N' Save in Davis). So, come to Golden Anchor, but come with a cooler stocked up with and use the kitchen in your cabin. Because the restaurant wasn't stellar, I've gotta give 4 stars. For local activities we recommend checking out Dolly Sods for some hiking, horseback riding at a farm toward Davis (I forget the name but we had a blast) and maybe driving to see Seneca Rocks and even Spruce Knob. On our last morning we actually drove 3.5 hours away and did white water rafting with ACE on the New River. Super long day but totally worth it. If you're looking to just get away from everyone, relax and enjoy the great outdoors, Golden Anchor hits the spot. read more

I was sitting here reminiscing about my anniversary and felt it was long over due to leave this review. We had a wonderful anniversary here. The cabins were spacious, clean and the location was beautiful. Me and my wife had the privilege to meet the owner at the cabin's local restaurant and he was very pleasant, professional and warm. I highly recommend these cabins. read more

Very nice cabin. I stayed in the Queen, and it had it a heated towel rack, heated floors and a Jacuzzi on the rear deck. I would recommend these to anyone staying in the Canaan Valley area and Blackwater Falls. read more

My husband and I spent our honeymoon at Golden Anchor in 2015. It was fantastic! The location was superb, the cabin itself was classy, clean and cozy and the cabin owners were a dream to work with. I can't recommend Golden Anchor enough to anyone that is considering a visit. read more

We stayed in 2 different rooms and we loved them both. Obviously the Royale was more luxurious than the pond view but the they were both amazing and so comfortable and relaxing. I think Pondview has the best view but the Royale is the most romantic. The people who take care of the place are really nice and friendly too! So convenient for people interested in Blackfalls, Dolly Sods, Smoke Hole Caverns, Seneca Rocks and all the other awesome attractions nearby. read more

this was our 3rd stay in our 3rd cabin and all were wonderful experiences. this last time we stayed in the king cabin. very clean and well appointed. just about every amenity you can think of. you pay for what you get when you travel. if you want nice it's not going to be cheap. i highly recommend Golden Anchor to anybody celebrating a special occasion. we will back for a 4th visit. read more

The cabin looked wonderful. Great bathroom and kitchen. The wifi was not hooked up to the internet ( not that big of a deal to me). The front door would not lock and they seid they couldn't fix it until the next day. This was not the best wedding anniversary we had. read more

My wife and I just returned from a two night stay at the Honeymoon Royale cabin. I expected the cabins to be hidden in the woods, but the property is right off the main road. They are exceptionally quiet, however. The main office was not indicated off the driveway, but we guessed (correctly) that the restaurant with the same name also contained the front desk. An older gentleman greeted us and gave us a few tips regarding the cabin. Service was friendly and personal. The cabin was amazing. I didn't expect so many small luxuries such as heated flooring in the bathroom and full body jets in the shower. There was a full kitchen, Bose sound system, and satellite TV. There really was everything and more we expected. I took off a star due to no internet access and the owners requesting the guests remove and prep the dirty linens and remove their own trash. I don't mind the work, but a five star resort would be expected to do everything for the guests. For a getaway in the mountains, it doesn't get much better than this. read more
