Canaan Realty

“Quiet and comfortable long weekend in the mountains! Can’t wait to come back!”

“Perfect little escape. This cozy three-floor home in a gated community felt peaceful from the moment we arrived. The views of the surrounding area were beautiful, especially in the morning, and everything was spotless and well-kept. The 4-person hot tub was the highlight—perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. Comfortable, quiet, and exactly what we needed for a relaxing stay.”

“Even though it rained nonstop, we had a blast. The grill is awesome and well placed if it does rain, and to be able to drink coffee while listening to the rain really made you feel at peace (or even have zen). Can’t wait to book it again when we are in Davis!”

“We had such a nice stay! The place was quiet and really comfortable and we slept great. Super pet-friendly. loved the decor and amenities.”

“loved it”

“This was our second time staying in this house, and we loved it again. It is in a private, very pretty location near the lake and near forest. It has plenty of room for large groups to spread out. The kitchen is well appointed. We will stay here again.”

“the lake was a fantastic place for a private picnic and just all around family fun day”

“This is the second time we've rented through Airbnb with Canaan. This is also the second time that we've had an issue with the cleaning of the house. Upon arrival at 4 p.m. check in, the house had clearly not been cleaned at all, the beds were slept in. I immediately called Canaan and in the midst of that call the cleaners showed up. We had to delay unpacking, spending time with the family and such, to allow for the cleaners to clean the home while we attempted to stay out of their way. We understand that sometimes some houses take longer to clean than others which delays the schedule, but my issue was that this should have been communicated to us prior to us arriving at the house. Canaan did do a slight refund to account for this, but when you're paying almost $2k for 3 nights, I expect the house to be cleaned when I get there! The house was beautiful, had amazing views, and spacious enough for our needs. Beds and pillows were so-so, mattress toppers were used to help.”

“We travel to Timberline every year for a family ski weekend, but we will never book with Canaan Realty again. Ahead of our stay, Winter Storm Fern was forecasted to bring 20 inches of snow and ice. Due to serious safety concerns, we requested to move our reservation to another available weekend. Despite open dates, the request was denied. We were told the owners were consulted, which I question. Following guidance from the WV Department of Highways, WV DOT, and local police, we were only able to stay 1 of our 3 nights. On the day of checkout—after we were already home—the Governor of West Virginia declared a state of emergency for all 55 counties. Davis received 17 inches of snow and ice. Staying would have left us stranded and unable to safely drive home. Our request for a partial refund was denied. Canaan Realty showed no flexibility or concern for guest safety during a declared emergency. I hope the property owners are aware of how this situation was handled.”

“Great location, walkable to Davis downtown and a short drive to Blackwater Falls. A few things that made this stay uncomfortable. When we arrived the heat was set to 60F. We followed the instructions to increase the temperature but after an hour the house was still very cold. It took over an hour for a maintainence person to come and give us space heaters which we used during our stay. The floors are unfinished and peeling paint on the walls. Our baby got many splinters from walking around the first level. From the pictures it is not clear that there are very steep stairs to get to the top floor. Each step is the equivalent height of two normal steps. There are no curtains over the windows meaning at night we had no privacy. Also with a young baby naptimes were very difficult because we could not make the room dark. On our last day there was no running water. It took our host over two hours to respond and by then we had already checked out. We could not wash or use the toilet.”
