There was plenty of space for everyone to sleep comfortably and find their own quiet place when they needed down time. Our family enjoyed sitting outside on the covered patio, playing games in the large backyard, feeding the donkeys, and just enjoying the peace and quiet of the property. We had some issues with the water system turning off but Dan responded to any issues immediately and was able to make repairs without too much inconvenience.

It's got a great kitchen and appliances, nice fireplace. The owners are very responsive and friendly. Dan even ran a propane tank over to us when we ran out. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean, and the beds themselves were comfortable. The property outside the house is stunning. Horses, chickens, and ducks roam around. There's even a donkey. It's about 15 minutes from downtown Asheville, and a great respite from the city. We loved staying here. The only annoying part was that Google maps sometimes takes you to the wrong side of a the mountain from the house. But that's hardly the owner's fault! Big, big recommend for this home and it's owners! ##### Paul W. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angie G. 8 Jan 2019 #### WOW! What a wonderful place for our wedding!! What an amazing home to host our small family wedding!!! The home and property couldn’t be more beautiful and inviting!! We transformed the formal living room into our wedding venue and it was perfect!!! Our family stayed 3 nights and then had the wedding the last evening. It was a wonderful time celebrating and all 18 of us had room to spread out. The game room was an especially big hit with everyone. Dan was available for all of our questions and helped with anything we couldn’t figure out. We had all the privacy we needed but had him there to help. The home is clean and pristine. The house made our day so much better! Thank you so much! We would not have wanted to be anywhere else!!!!! ##### Angie G. ### 8/10 Good #### nicole j. 23 Nov 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious and Clean Giving this a 4/5 as my expectations for a property at this price was not meet. It was very clean and spacious - but not luxurious. For example the curtains were very thin shears - that provided very poor light blocking - so I had difficulty sleeping. There was no book that gave all the home details - such as wifi password and so on - I had to enquire about this - and the owners did respond which was great. So house is great for larger groups that want a quite spot near a city. ##### nicole j.

My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer to make use of all the wonderful amenities. We had great communication with one of the owners and even came to help us on a Saturday night with the tv which was not necessary. This vacation went above our expectation and would recommend to anyone. The only advice is to request Uber’s with plenty of time as the rideshare situation in Asheville is not as plentiful. But this has nothing to do with the house (: ##### Mary-Eugenia B.

Dan was a great host, and very communicative throughout the booking and check-in process. The house itself is located on a large farm, with friendly horses grazing nearby. The house was extremely clean and very spacious - we had 12 adults with plenty of room to spare. We even squeezed in a 12-person yoga class in one of the indoor spaces! The fresh flowers waiting in the kitchen and living room were a nice surprise. I would highly recommend booking this property. ##### Morgan T.

Dan and his family were incredible hosts, letting us meet the dogs and horses, bringing fire to the fireplace, and even buying sleds for our group in the wake of an unexpected snow storm. The house is a quick easy drive to downtown Asheville. It was huge and lovely with warm touches throughout - honestly even better than the pictures. Would definitely recommend and return!

Probably the best kitchen we've had in 10 years of renting cabins. Wonderful couches, so comfortable. Lighting is almost exclusively warm which makes the spot feel cozy but can make playing ping pong tricky. Good table space for the board gamers out there -- easily two game tables and two puzzle. Excellent sassy signage. Overall excellent no meaningful complaints. ##### Justin N.

Perfect house and property for our family of ten ranging from age 65 to 2 years. Everyone had their space. House is beautiful and comfortable. I wish I could have taken the master bath home with me. The steam shower was luxurious. Kids and adults loved their time on the farm. They even asked if they could have a farm in their backyard. The Crouse family were welcoming and very attentive. Nothing we needed or asked was a problem. Thanks for a great week! ##### Sharon D.

Three families with plenty of room to spread out. The house is gorgeous with a lot of little unique details through out. There are two washer and dryers, two dishwashers and an oversized frig. We fished at the pond and caught some pretty big fish. Got to meet the horses, cats, and the donkey. The owner Dan was very friendly and responsive. Everything was perfect and we loved our stay. ##### Cheri T.

We had a spectacular time. ##### Lisa C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim Y., Tampa FL 16 Jan 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Canaan Valley exceptional property We made our reservations many months in advance and from the first contact with the owner, through the last day of vacation, they were such a pleasure to deal with; very professional, responding sometimes within an hour. There wasn’t anything that they weren’t able to provide for us such as a baby gate to keep our two toddlers from climbing up the stairs. They were very attentive to all the details. If you are coming with family or all adults, the space is conducive to large groups. The horse experience was a great activity for kids and adults alike and love the fact that all members of the owners’ family are involved in entertaining the guests. I will recommend Canaan Valley to friends and family. ##### Kim Y.

Perfect place for our family to stay during the pandemic! Beautiful large house, horses, walking trails, firepit, beautiful courtyard at the speakeasy! Dan and his family make you feel right at home. ##### Donna N.

If you like horses, there are two right out the back door. You can walk your kids down to the pond right down the driveway and feed the ducks. Talk to the donkey and Shetland pony right across from the pond. Enjoy cooking in the amazing kitchen and above all enjoy time with your family in this amazing house. ##### Diane M.

Beautiful property and wonderful owners! We had a very small intimate wedding on the property and it was A DREAM. We had our ceremony on the newly finished platform by the pond, and our dinner in the sunroom, our reception in the pavilion, and post reception campfire all at the house. Even though we had a Monday wedding, Dan and Courtney (and Ian!) were incredibly attentive when we needed assistance, and privacy/space when we didn't. They even had their son Canaan drive our guests to and from the house to the platform. Our guests comfortably stayed in the Mane House for several days. I would note that the "hideaway room" with the trundle beds is only accessible through the bedroom with two queen beds, but it was not an issue for my group. From the cleanliness to an abundance of firewood, everything was perfect. My only regret was not finding time to soak in that gorgeous copper tub, but I am excited for the upcoming onsite spa! The perfect location for a wedding or getaway! ##### Keira O.

The Mane House had everything we ever wanted or needed including incredible hosts and their children who came to light fires and offered barn tours and horse rides (and we all swooned over the recently rescued alpacas). Publix delivery was very beneficial so we didn’t have to leave. This property is a short Uber ride or drive to the Biltmore, Omni Grove Park Inn or downtown. Our first night in, we used EZCater from Acropolis for dinner and it was perfect. We spent most meals out (because it was many of our first times in Asheville) but the home has everything we needed to cook and enjoy an evening in which I’ll plan for next time. All of us agreed we would stay here again and again for a large get together or family reunion. I could not have picked a more perfect home or hosts. ##### Kathleen D.

Beautifully updated and incredible design and decor. Incredibly spacious with stunning master bath with a steam shower! Felt like a stay at a swanky spa. The homeowners property is also incredible with a beautiful pond with ducks and stables to visit the donkey and horses. We had a large group with kids and there was plenty of room and even a really cool bedroom in the upstairs corner with 3 beds and plush carpet and tons of books. The kids loved having their own “hideaway”. The homeowners are incredibly responsive and gracious. Feels like you are completely secluded but only a 10 minute drive to all Asheville us to offer! Will definitely book again! ##### Kate C.

After bring evacuated from the OuterBanks, we needed a place to accommodate 11 of us to continue our vacation. From the ocean to the mountains, this was an idyllic place to relax and enjoy ourselves. Our hosts were the nicest people, and the home was gorgeous. The large spa bathroom was amazing! The rain shower was the best I've ever experienced and our host Dan even brought over some eucalyptus oil to try the steam feature. Heaven! ##### Debe T. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer S. 13 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Highly Recommend! We loved staying at the farm with our family of 8 adults and 6 children ranging in age from 3 months to 8 yrs. It was the perfect spot to relax with fun activities and spaces for everyone. We spent time fishing in the stocked pond or rocking in the swing on nearby. We loved seeing the ducks, geese, chickens, roosters, horses, donkey, and newly rescued alpacas. Dan took us on a great tour of the farm, and Belle kindly shared the horses with the kids and provided horseback rides. The house was beautiful and well-stocked from the kitchen to the game room. The dishwashers were broken during our stay, but Dan fixed them as soon as the part arrived and offered us an ice cream gift certificate for the inconvenience. The farm is close to west Asheville and an easy drive to restaurants, hiking, and attractions. Overall, it's a wonderful spot to stay, and we'd highly recommend it! ##### Jennifer S.
