We booked this Pedestal Cabin specifically for the purpose of Skiing and being away from the hustle and bustle of the resorts and in-town lodging, but still close enough that getting to the slopes was only about a 10–15-minute ride. We also wanted a full kitchen to make great comfort food, soups, stew, and desserts. Lastly, we wanted a place that was a bit more secluded and allowed dogs.
We mainly come to Canaan Valley to Ski. Canaan Valley’s unusual attributes make the area DEPENDABLE for great ski conditions. Google "Frost Bowl.” Both of the area reports are great for those that like a challenge and those skiing with children. Timberline Mountain has had a significant amount of capital investment in recent years and boasts the longest green trail in the Mid-Atlantic.
Search for "things to do in Canaan Valley" and you will quickly find that this is truly a Four-Seasons Destination.
Getting there has become much easier than it once was. Upgrades to Highway 48 (also called Corridor H) have cut times out of DC from 5 to 3 1/2 hours.
This is very cozy for a full house. The mudroom was a very welcome feature for getting in and going out into the cold. The Beds were great, not a single complaint about sleeping arrangements.
We love Canaan Valley and this place was no exception!. Based upon what this experience, we are already excited to come back again!
