About this property

Old Post Office - Fam/Pet/EV Friendly in wild and wonderful Canaan Valley, WV!

  • Come gather at our hideaway! Just outside the southern tip of Canaan Valley State Park - close to excellent hiking, mountain biking, and a huge variety of outdoor activities. Only a 20-minute drive to Blackwater Falls State Park and the charming towns of Davis and Thomas, hubs of the regional art and food scenes. At the house you'll love the relaxing sound of the creek flowing just off the back deck. There is a well equipped dine-in chef's kitchen with all the utensils needed to cook up a meal for the whole family, or you can relax in the living room on the couch and TV, or break out the board games in the library/office. We provide a comfortable destination to travel with family or pets. Welcome!

Very old building (I believe we read that it was constructed in 1856) with character. Nicely remodeled/ updated interior. We had everything we needed. We enjoyed the fire pit and the sound of the creek, as well as the proximity to state parks. Good communication from owner. Would recommend.

Ski getaway

We went for a short ski weekend in the area. We had a blast! The house was perfectly located for everything that we wanted to do. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and the couch was super cozy for cuddling at the end of the day. Would love to come back when it's warm for some summer activities!

Perfect Home Away From Home

I stayed at this home for three months during a travel contract and it was the absolute most perfect place for my dog and I. We were far enough away from the bustling of town, but within 15 minutes from multiple resorts and 25 minutes away from town making it the perfect stay for us. The views around the property itself were beautiful, hikes within minutes at Canaan valley, and a beautiful covered porch for quiet nights of reading. Jake, the property manager was so kind throughout my entire stay, and remained available via phone for anything I needed during my time there. I will definitely returning again to visit in this place that felt so much like my own home.

Fantastic home!

This place was exactly what we needed and a lot more. It’s a perfect distance from Canaan Valley ski resort. We had a family of 6 and everyone had their own space and the kitchen was huge for our family meals. Also really nice appliances in the kitchen. Huge bathroom downstairs with shower/tub and dual sinks. Powder room for upstairs nighttime trips to the bathroom! We will book here again!!

Great host!

Unfortunately we could not complete our stay at the property. We had car trouble on the way out and with the prediction of a lot of snow we decided not to risk it. However, the host, James, was so helpful in letting us know how the property is taken care of during big snow storms. We felt very comfortable knowing we would be taken care of while enjoying the winter wonderland of West Virginia. We hope to plan another trip out to see this cute property very soon!

Could not fully rate

We had to cut our trip short due to a snow/wind storm. Due to the location far from a main road, I was worried that if trees came down or power got cut it would be an issue so left early. The house was very clean and well stocked and having a large bathroom downstairs was great. Some of the floors definitely creak.

We really loved this rental! It was the perfect place to stretch out and relax after skiing at the nearby ski areas! The house had everything we needed, the furniture and beds were all comfortable, and the historic character of the house is quite charming. Hoping we can come back next year for a longer stay! Mostly I appreciated the communications from the host, James. Questions were promptly and thoroughly answered and he provided good info as we navigated an incoming snowstorm!

The bad the bad and the smelly

Upon arrival I noticed the front storm door handle broken plus no chain to keep it from staying open, the door lock code was incorrect and had to be reset no biggie but noted. When I entered the house there was a pretty intense odor. We tried to air out the house and it was a little better after a day. On Wednesday the heater kicked on and the odor was very noticeable, we sniffed around to find mouse skat all under the tv on the floor then sniffed the basket with a blanket in it. It was putrid, The blanket full of skat and urine. We swept up a large pile of mouse skat that was on the floor. The basket and blanket was left outside as it was just disgusting. The smell never really went away in the house and every time the heater would kick on it was right back. This house was the worst Vrbo I have stayed at. If my wife were with me we would have not stayed there. For the price they are charging I expected the house to be perfect. Rustic but perfect. The host replied about 24 hours later only after I sent another message. The reply was slightly slightly disturbing. Dead mice were found in the duct work. Please note, we did not contact the host immediately as we probably should have and hindsight, you get it. No cell service, a busy schedule and just being a few dumb older guys played part in that, just an excuse but in no way would I expect to have dead animals in the duct work. We could deal with a little skat. We are getting back $500 out of nearly $2100. Out of space……….

Cute, updated house with some old charm

We enjoyed our stay. The house is cute with a spacious kitchen and downstairs bathroom. Hot water for everyone. The house was clean except for a few, minor things. The one surprise (which was not apparent by the picture) is that the house is very close to a road. It's NOT a main road but there is some traffic so it is loud when people drive by. You hear the traffic in the master bedroom and family room.
