Great place that met our needs
Posted Jul. 2, 2024 on HomeAwayAlmost Heaven fit our group's needs by providing lodging for 14 of our 22 family in town as well as having a ramp to allow our wheelchair bound grandfather to participate in the outing. The Canaan Valley area is a must visit in the non-ski months to take in the amazing scenery, wildlife, and hiking options. The location was central to many activities for our group including Blackwater Falls State Park, Spruce Knob, Seneca Rocks and Caverns, the towns of Davis and Thomas, and Dolly Sods to just name a few. The family that lives closer to this area will definitely be back again.

Great accommodations
Posted Feb. 23, 2024 on HomeAwayLove the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, plenty of linens and towels. Hot tub worked great. Proximity to the slopes at Timberline was fantastic! Main living area and table/ kitchen was suer for our big family group. Plenty of space for the kids to be crazy and play. Also lots of comfy couch space for hanging out.

Good, but not great
Posted Feb. 13, 2023 on HomeAwayOverall, the property is very good. Adequate space for a large group and all rooms are wither King or Queen. It was very clean when we got there. However, once starting to use the home, it was not great. Home needs updated and just plain maintenance. Two of the rooms were missing door jams; there was water damage in one of the bedrooms corner ceiling; one of the master bedrooms downstairs TV didnt work and when we tried to hook it up to the cable, the whole cable outlet fell off the wall and wasnt even connected; there was a lack of towels in some of the rooms; and the kitchen was very poorly equipped. They tell you they only give a starter pack of certain items (which I understand and we were prepared for those items), but dont mention to bring EVERYTHING for the kitchen. There are cooking items and utensils, but nothing esle. Bring everything you will need if you are renting this home.
Again, overall, good home for location and space, just not overwhelmed and could definitely use some care.

Great house, needs some upkeep work
Posted Feb. 6, 2023 on HomeAwayWe had a great time at this property, it was roomy enough for our group of adults and kids. We loved how close it was to the slopes, so convenient if you want to ski or snowboard.
I do have to dock a star just because of how many general upkeep things it seems like they just haven't fixed. I can overlook some scuffs, cracks, usual wear and tear of a rental. The most obvious inconvenience for us was that several bedroom and bathroom doors don't close/latch/lock or anything (and one doesnt even have the doorknob latch on the door frame, it had been ripped out or something?) so it's obviously not ideal to not be able to close a bedroom or bathroom door with a house full of people.
Overall it was great and we would stay there again! Just hope that before we come back they fix some of the maintenance issues.

Great family home!
Posted Dec. 30, 2022 on HomeAwayOur family spent Christmas here during the coldest days of the year. This home has plenty of space with a nice fireplace to keep us cozy! We liked the large dining table and living room was comfortable for movie watching. Shops in Davis & Thomas were nice to visit. Also d we njoyed ice skating at Canaan Valley.

Almost Heaven needs a lot of TLC
Posted Nov. 13, 2022 on HomeAwayStayed here for family reunion- 9 adults, one child and one dog.
This house was likely really nice 20 years ago but has fallen into neglect and disrepair.
This is a brief list of the issues we encountered-
Broken ceiling fan in smaller room 1st floor
Broken oscillating fan
Crack in great room wall
Stained lampshades
Stained towels and sheets of poor quality
Dirty grout
Really old, beaten up furniture
Broken porch swing tucked behind the hot tub
No real mop available to clean up spills (there was a dirty string mop in the laundry which didn’t help)
The positives were plenty of space for a large group and never ran out of hot water.
Otherwise we will be returning to a previous rental in the area. We tried this one since they allowed pets. At this price point Almost Heaven needs painted, deep cleaned, spruced up and new furniture.

Good for big groups
Posted Sep. 5, 2022 on HomeAwayWe had a group of couples totaling 12 people and it accommodated us well. Very spacious, but close neighbors and not much yard. The house is well equipped and, besides some small mishaps that you'd expect from a short term rental if this size, was clean. Overall, it was a good stay and I'd stay there again if I'm in the area.

Almost Heaven
Posted Aug. 26, 2022 on HomeAwayWe were a group of 11 adults, 2 kids and 2 dogs...the cabin was big enough fr everyone to have their own space. We also enjoyed the use of the hot tub. We wished we had more yard space for the kids and dogs. Also it would have been nice to have a 2nd fridge since we are a group that brings too much food but we made it work with the coolers we brought. We visited Blackwater falls and really enjoyed that.

Almost Heaven
Posted Aug. 1, 2022 on HomeAwayWe love this house. It is perfect for our family. There is never enough towels for a family though. House maintenance needs to be kept up. There are cracks in walls there are carpenter ants or termites in dining area. We will continue to stay there as we have been coming to The area over 40 years now.
