I was helped each day by some amazing humans whose names I never discovered. I enjoyed every aspect of my 3 days there, exploring the plentiful trails and breaking in some new xcd madshus epochs on the many downhill options! I'll for sure be back, and with some luck and blessing of the snow gods we'll keep having winters like 2021!

I was disappointed with my stay at Canaan Valley Resort. As someone with disabilities, I found the…read moreproperty to be less accessible than expected, making it difficult to fully enjoy the experience. One of the most frustrating moments was at dinner. Our tour group was told we could not sit by the windows and enjoy the view because we were "with a tour and not paying customers." Considering many of us paid nearly $2,000 for this trip, that was insulting. We were also not allowed to order from the regular menu and pay ourselves if we wanted something else. Unfortunately, the meal provided left me sick for going on 2 days. The resort itself also had several maintenance and convenience issues. The ice machine on our floor was broken, the snack machine and soda machine was nearly empty, and the shower had VERY poor water pressure. The gift shop closed before 7 p.m., making it impossible to purchase basic necessities when needed. There was also very little to do in the evenings. The pool closes at 8 p.m., and by 7 p.m. most activities and amenities seemed to be shut down, leaving guests with few options other than returning to their rooms to watch TV. Overall, the resort did not meet my expectations, particularly regarding accessibility, guest experience, and customer service.

Tube Park Review…read more This review is specific to the Tube Park. Highly recommend getting tickets ahead of time online. All sessions for the day were sold out when we visited. The lodge area for the tube park is very small, so don't expect to be able to change clothing quickly inside due to how busy it is. There's a fire place inside and a huge fire pit outside. Very small concession inside with about 8-10 small snack items to choose from. The staff here are top notch - very kind to each other and talkative to visitors. 10 minutes before the session starts, the group gets a safety briefing and reviews the rules. There's a nurse/medic on site. This is fun for the whole family. 1200 feet long and very fast. Be sure to read the requirements online for kids. Extra safety precautions are taken onsite for young kids.

We arrived on a Saturday and noticed dozens of dead cluster flies around the main window. It was obvious that no one had been in the room for weeks and then when we saw numerous mouse droppings, we were out. We offered to move to a new room, but they were sold out so Melissa the Mgr offered us a refund. When I emailed to get that going, I had to fight with her to get it. After many calls/emails, she returned a small fraction of what we paid. We would never stay here nor purchase property knowing that BB resort would be managing it, terrible in all respects.

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!

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.

Spending a few days in WV mountain country…read more We are here on RCI points trading a few days for our Manhattan Club ownership. PS we are finding that the use fee of $199 every time we book is just not worth it to us to be RCI members. Check in was pleasant and easy. We asked for a few dining tips as we have never been to the area. The place is set up with 7 sets of condo/townhouse rows. We had a two bed/bath unit, two levels. Large kitchen with a small deck looking into the facility grounds. Well maintained and attractive grounds, in need of a bit of refurbishing. They are building an indoor pool. The construction started at 830am and continued until 430pm. Luckily we were out most days but the one day we were at the unit, Wednesday, the noise was terrible. Room a/c units worked fine if a bit loud. The vent fans in the bathrooms were very loud. Notably there is only one shower, two tubs one of which is a fancy hot tub with no shower or hand held shower. Ok w/us but folks with more guests should take note. Tennis courts are dismal. We played every morning for an hour. They were never crowded and we just walked on each day. The courts are lighted for night play but the surfaces are terrible with many cracks and undulations. They need to fix them or get rid of them. Washer and dryer in unit was great. We used them a few times. All in all a functional place to stay for our few days of exploring the area. We think it would be better suited to families. There is horse riding next door. Location is 20 mins to Davis and 45 mins to Elkins the two mountain towns nearby. Also the hamlet of Thomas, just beyond Davis, was an interesting place. If you are looking for fine dining this is not the place for you. Golf and skiing are one mile away. We were here in July. It might be nice to check the place out in Winter. We did play some golf at the Canaan GC. Very nice Course, well maintained and wide open. It is located inside a State Park. Breakfast place on the property just down the road nearby the entrance is a nice feature but we ate in our unit for breakfast. The weather during our stay was perfect. There is a lot of natural beauty in the area if you like that stuff, hiking and other outdoor activities, but dining options and night life are minimal. We explored the local towns and area. If the weather was poor it would be quite a tedious couple of days. Nancy & Mark.

Last year I personally met with the new owner, Jenni Ray and ultimately decided to contract my rental property with Canaan Realty and could not be more pleased with my experience. Jenni has brought her years of real estate experience to Canaan Realty and raised the bar high for any competitors in the market. She and her friendly staff have been responsive all of my requests, taking the time to listen and quickly provide answers or, satisfactory resolutions. Over the past 20 years I have done business with various different Realty companies in the valley as both a renter and a home owner. Under the new ownership, Canaan Realty is tops!
