April. Off season, Canaan Valley. Perfect time to enjoy a fabulous getaway and get your batteries recharged!
TFSR - Timberline Four Seasons Realty - is the management company for a large number of high-end properties located in Canaan Valley.
The house we rented, WinterHaven #90, was a large, open 5-bedroom pivately owned property located at the top of the mountain.
The house seemed to be be fairly new and was very well kept, with most of the parts in great order.
Here's the GOOD: hardwood and granite, throughout. 6 bathrooms. Two complete laundry rooms. Massive stove and kitchen area. Vaulted ceilings. Woodsy, ski themed art consistent throughout. Furnishings were amazing, beautiful leather couches and three stonework fireplaces. Large hottub, under roof. Two wine refrigerators. Two microwaves. Big dishwasher (but mine is an 18-inch, so what do I know??). Great response time to complaints.Two outside gas grilles on a massive wrap around deck. Whole house sound system. Spectacular water pressure!!! Very, very clean, throughout.
Here's the not-as-Good: Lightswitches everywhere. Burned out bulbs everywhere - yes, it was end-of peak season, but it was crazy. While we were out they came and immediately replaced bulbs - filling a garbage can with bulb packaging. Main fireplace was gas, but broken with 'part on order'. They returned $50 for the inconvenience. Hubby went around and picked up garbage, too much to ignore. In fairness, they cannot clear a season's worth of littering from an entire mountain the second the snow is gone. So they are ahead by one. Main microwave did not work. And finally, also relatively minor: The single refrigerator was too small to accomodate 4-days of eat-in-and-relax for four people.
As you see, minor blips. We would go back in a minute! Love Canaan in the Spring, Summer & Fall! Not a skiier, cannot comment on Winter... read more
