Geschichte trifft Komfort in diesem ursprünglichen Canaan Valley Haus! Cooper Homestead ist eine wahre Mischung aus all den "Dingen", die wir Menschen genießen und der Geschichte, von der wir gerne hören. Als eine der ersten Familien, die sich in den hohen Allegheny Mountains niederließen, bauten die Coopers 9 Kinder 3200 "über dem Meeresspiegel. Das 1882 erbaute Cooper Homestead ist die einzige original erhaltene Canaan Valley Hütte. Und jetzt ist es verfügbar für Sie zu mieten! Renoviert gerade genug, um eine voll ausgestattete Küche, Wäscherei und Ja-Innen Sanitär, das Gehöft bietet auf 10 Hektar großen Landschaft und spektakuläre Ausblicke. Genießen Sie etwas Veranda Zeit. Bereite dein Lieblingsessen zu. Genießen Sie die Aussicht und erleben Sie wahre Ruhe. Besuchen und stellen Sie sich dieses unberührte Anwesen vor, das von einer großen, hart arbeitenden Familie bewohnt wird. Sie können die Geschichte fühlen und das moderne finden, wie Sie diese einzigartige Unterkunftsmöglichkeit erleben. Das Gehöft ist am bequemsten für ein Paar oder ein Paar mit einem oder zwei Kindern. Ihr wohlerzogener Hund ist willkommen mit einer kleinen Haustiergebühr.

Winter time. The fields around the home were blanketed in snow. Inside there was a well furnished home- early 20th century approx. Nice warm gas fireplace first floor two comfy bedrooms shotgun style up narrow high pitched staircase. A little difficult to navigate. Master bed quite comfy

Scenic and serene

Cooper homestead is such a serene and scenic property. The place has a very rustic and authentic charm. While it was mostly clean, we had to open windows for a cool breeze and the sills were full of dead flies. Part of the rustic charm. The neighbors are close and a bit noisy, but not so much that it ruined the vibe. The water wasn’t drinkable and the kitchen sink had no hot water which made for difficult kitchen cleaning up after meals, but the stove is right there for heating up a pot of water. More of that rustic charm. Extremely convenient for access to hiking and sight seeing. Overall, for the price, it was a very pleasant stay.

We Loved Cooper's Homestead

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The homestead was wonderful we loved it so very much! My husband and I didn't want to leave. We have been staying in Canaan Valley for 28 years several times a year. Cooper's Homestead was comfortable, the beds were excellent, the couch and chair could use an upgrade if you are planning on relaxing as my husband and I did. We are extremely busy and this was the first time in years that we stayed in Wednesday-Sunday! The tub was was an experience and of course made me appreciate mine so much the more. The stairs were NOT a problem for us and any well-rounded person would see immediately that you should use caution. We take for granted what we are given each day... and how blessed we are in 2024 but for those of us in 2024 that wished we lived back in the day this is your house! It is an excellent reminder of back then with the conveniences of today.

Ok except for the flies and mice

Amazing property, set well back from the road with a lot of privacy, very cozy and comfortable, wonderful views. The only downside was a housefly infestation that littered the floors and windowsills with dead flies every morning, and kept buzzing around the bed at night - along with the occasion scratching that I suppose was a mouse. The flies need to be dealt with - once they are, I would make this a 5-star review.

A lovely property. You're closest neighbors are horses. A lovely view from the porches. The air is as sweet as cold spring water and then balanced with floral from all of the wildflowers in the meadow. You're close to Davis and Thomas as well as Blackwater Falls State Park.

Cooper Homestead

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was in a good location and available for our dates, so that part of it was good. It is a cute little cabin, and with a little work it could have been a great experience.The bad: The cabin has a very bad ant and fly problem. Ants were all over the kitchen, and by the way ant traps were all over the place it's a known issue. We had to store all of our food in the fridge and in sealed containers. We called the management office and were told they used a professional pest company, but actually did nothing while we were there. We sprayed raid and wiped everything down with bleach wipes, multiple times, but still had problems. The back bedroom was not usable as there was a fly infestation. We killed as many as we could, over a dozen or so, and then closed the doors and left them alone. At one point we counted 12 on a single window.The house looked like it had been hastily cleaned. There were dead flies everywhere, cobwebs over the lights in the bathroom, and it didn't look like the couch cushions had been cleaned under, ever. There were also stains in the rug in the living room. The coffee pot had not been cleaned.Other minor issues: No dishwasher soap, the bathtub is old fashioned and impossible to use without getting a little water on the floor/walls. Some type of tray to hold soap and shampoo would have been nice. The house is dark as lighting was horrible.The good: Plenty of clean towels and the linens on the beds were clean.We did enjoy the deer and the wild turkeys right outside the house and it was very quiet and peaceful.If the property managers would ensure the house is free of ants and flies, and cleaned a lot better than it was when we were there, we would probably give it 4 1/2 stars.

A lovely house with unwelcome inhabitants

A delightful house, thoughtfully restored, yet retaining much of the character of the original cabin. Great bedrooms with very comfortable bed. Only problem, and it was not minor, was the presence of ants and flies. The ants were ubiquitous and the only safe place to store food was the refrigerator or tightly sealed bags. Flies kept to the one bedroom window, but there were dozens buzzing around it when we arrived and not a fly swatter in sight. I marked "cleanliness" lower only because of the insects - the house itself was spotless.

Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was fine, and we rented it again because before it had always been peaceful. However, this time not only was the guy there mowing again, he was very pushy and told my husband to stay away from their equipment at the barn and not to touch anything over there. We have no reason to go there and had never bothered anything during any of our previous stays, so he had no reason to intrude in this manner. Then we were not informed that construction was going on at the barn. This same guy was over there doing earth work during our stay. They had the drive blocked when we came back from hiking and it was really noisy. We went there to get away from noise, not to have more of it. When I called the office about the contacted the man and he did quit, but it would have been nice to know ahead of time that there was work going on in an area that was once part of the rental space and given the opportunity to change property. The house was comfortable as usual, but the intrusive man and construction really affected our visit. We will not be staying at Cooper again, even though we had stayed there 4 times before because we liked to peace of it. I spent all year on a construction site, that was not what I wanted on vacation. While I will use best of Canaan again for a rental, I was disappointed that there was no notice that construction was going on and there was no offer of any kind for compensation for a disturbed stay, even if it would have been just being able to move to another place, or a free night on the next stay.

Loved it!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is amazing. If you like solitude, if you enjoy being in nature, if you appreciate history and getting a taste of what it might have been like to live it, you’ll enjoy Cooper Homestead. The house is modern enough you won’t feel like you are Davey Crockett, but still maintains enough of its historical character to imagine you could be. The view and sounds from the front porch swing, where you’ll want to spend a lot of time at the house if the weather permits, are worth the stay alone. They gaze out onto empty grassland all the way to the mountains in the background, with only the hint of a roofline off in the distance, and the sounds of the birds and the breeze to greet you. You’ll feel almost as if you’re all alone in the valley. The house has everything you’ll ‘need’ but don’t expect luxury, it’s an 1800s log cabin after all. The interior original doors are crooked from the house settling, as one would expect, and some don’t latch properly, and the floor isn’t perfectly level and even, and the beds are comfortable enough but squeak when you get in. If you’re the type of traveler that’s picky about those kinds of things, then Cooper might not be for you. But if you’ll look at the crooked doors, and uneven floors, and marvel at how a log house this old could still be in such great condition, and see those ‘flaws’ as part of the history and character of the place, then Cooper will not disappoint. “This is so cool” was uttered many times throughout our stay as we noticed more and more of the house’s quirks and charms. If we return to the Canaan Valley in the future then Cooper is where we’ll want to stay. I’ll echo other reviewers that the stairs are steep and narrow, as you would expect in a house of this era. We were able to get our suitcases up and down carefully, but I wouldn’t recomm

Pleasant, needed rest

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 4 stay at this property, we like how peaceful it is. My only negative comments are that when we arrived the cleaning crew had sprayed some kind of air freshener in the house and it was horribly strong, it took hours to fade with all windows and doors open. One of the reasons we rent from here is they typically did not have heavy scents in the property, we are both allergic to scents so both of us had sore throats for days from it. The other issue is a person showing up in the evening of the first day to mow the grass, it is very loud and one of the reasons we stay here is it is quiet. We come here to get away from the noise of the city only to have it follow us. It would be nice if that could be done before someone arrives.

Cozy Cabin Getaway

It is a charming historic house. It had all the accommodations including fresh towels, dish towel, soaps. We thought it was a wood burning stove so we brought wood but it was gas so no need for wood. The change in weather brought out ants and flies but it is an old home so we were not bothered and just kept food wrapped up. The kitchen has great supplies including crockpot, trays, bowls….we cooked everything. Great size for 2-4 people. Chairs are antique and small for large people…they need to be glued but we just avoided the chairs. Great location to ski and not far from Davis, Thomas and Blackwater. Great value for enjoying the entire house.

very cool (4f)

Getting There: i would recommend at least looking on google maps once you have the address so you can see that there is a garage opposite the driveway, as the cabin is set well back from the road and the little number sign given as part of the directions isn't that easy to see in the dark (it's further down the drive than the barn with grain tower). Property: Beautiful location, very will appointed given its age, keeps warm. There were still a few ants, even in the middle of winter, but as long as you don't leave food out and open it's not a problem. The stairs are cabin stairs, so be forewarned. There is only a half bath upstairs, and the 'master' is access thru the other bedroom. not an issue for a family, but if other than a family group that should be taken into consideration also. There was a resident Wren in the house while we were there, got in twice (thru attic stars??), but was as happy to leave as we were to let it out. The area: Canaan Valley was wonderful to visit, and i will definitely come back. Access to both Timberline & Canaan Valley for skiing is very simple, just take a left at the end of the driveway. Most food options are in Davis, but you can made do for a few days with what is locally available.

Cooper Homestead

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall experience met expectations. There were adverse events that would impact normal vacation goers who are less comfortable in certain living spaces: Dead mouse in upstairs bedroom, lots of ants in the kitchen, lots of house flies congregating along the windows, the water went out one night when it got very cold and the heaters in the craw space were not turned on, but was resolved the following afternoon, left behind articles from prior guests in the dresser. Its a very old home, so you expect to have pest issues. The trip was covered as a gift, but the cost per night is too high for the conditions mentioned above and I would not stay here for the price, if I were paying for it. Location and the management were great.

Completely charming place!

We wanted something different. From previous reviews we tempered our expectations. Loved the uneven floors, the non-square doorways, the charm of the place. We were there when it got down to -31 and the house was plenty warm. It's the closest we've come to agreeing on a property we'd really consider owning in Canaan Valley.

We found heaven in West Virginia!

We never wanted our stay at Cooper Homestead to end. This house is a true rustic beauty, a gracious and special old homestead that has received a loving makeover that is careful not to overshadow the home's history and original features. Picking up the keys was a breeze, and the property was easy to find. We arrived in the dark, with a cold wind blowing, and were delighted to find the gas fireplace burning and the house toasty-warm. We stayed four days over Thanksgiving. The kitchen is fitted out with everything we needed to cook a full Thanksgiving dinner, and it was wonderful to eat with the family at the kitchen table, like generations before us. The homestead was built by one of General Robert E. Lee's bodyguards after the Civil War, and it was exciting to experience this piece of history for ourselves. It snowed whilst we were there and the views out of the second floor windows to the hills beyond was just magical. We took long walks across the property with our dogs, and enjoyed reading in the living room and playing the games provided. A couple of things to note – first off, this is NOT a luxury stay. The house is truly rustic, with rough edges, uneven floors and even areas of the walls where old newspaper is still plugging cracks! We loved those qualities and were so glad the house hadn’t been renovated to remove all of its original character. If you are up for a real piece of history and a very special location, then this is for you. Secondly, be aware that one bed is a large double, the other is the size of a king single – fine for two smaller kids, but our tweens found it a bit of a squeeze. And I’d recommend taking your own pillows as those provided are in need of an upgrade. Third, the stairs, which are rough-cut timber and quite steep and narrow. If you are elderly or have any mobility limitations, you might find them difficult. Finally, a few reviewers mentioned ants. Yes, we were visited by a small number of ants, but this is an old house and some bugs are to be expected. There are ant baits placed around and a can of spray provided – make use of it and don’t let it spoil your stay! I hope I’ve managed to convey that Cooper Homestead is a really special place. To think it was almost knocked down to make way for a subdivision, before it was saved and renewed! We’re thankful to the owners for sharing it so that we had the chance to experience this historic stay in West Virginia.
