Private mountainside chalet bordering Dolly Sods with beautiful panoramic view.
Highland Rest is a 2 BR, 2 BA home which features an open floor plan with hard wood flooring through out. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with custom cabinets, granite countertops and a large pantry area. The living room, kitchen, and dining areas draw your attention to beautiful views across the valley below. The interior is finished with antiques, and collectibles from around the world.
Highland Rest lies within Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge was the 500th National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) to be established in the United States. The refuge preserves a moist valley with unique wetlands and uplands at a relatively high elevation in the Allegheny Mountains.
The property is 3800 above sea level (9.98 acres) and borders Dolly Sods Wilderness high on the mountain above (17,371 acres). Dolly Sods Wilderness contains bog and heath eco-types, more commonly typical to southern Canada. Elevations range from 2,500 to over 4,700 feet.
Note guests have access to fishing at (2) lakes within the Old Timberline community <5min from the cabin - no fishing license required within the community.
This home has everything you need. Situated in a peaceful neighborhood with great views of the Canaan Valley. Dolly Sods can be access from the property as well. Perfect place to escape the everyday routine!
Wonderful cabin - very clean and decorated beautifully. Also one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept on! Fully stocked with everything we needed and a gorgeous view as well. Nothing bad to say!
We rented looking for a snowy cabin weekend , which is exactly what we got. The location was perfect. Hot tub was awesome. The house itself was eclectically decorated. Can't wait to go again.
Make sure you have 4 wheel drive if you plan to stay during Winter! The drive up to the house with snow is legit! Excellent spot if you want a more private escape but to also be close to Timberline, White Grass and the towns of Davis and Thomas. House backed up to Dolly Sods Wilderness Area so would also be ideal for hiking in the warmer months.Plenty if cookware and the amenities were all as described and in working order.
Loved the large deck and hot tub for viewing the autumn leaves and relaxing after hiking in Dolly Sods! It was my favorite spot in this very comfortable home. Owner is super responsive.
My husband and I had a lovely stay at Jim's place. We had our two dogs with us as well. The views were stunning as we were there in late November and it was already snowing. The fireplace made our entire stay very cozy. The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed going on walks and runs and visited the town of Davis and had a great time at Stumptown Ales. We will definitely visit again!
Had a such a great time at Jim's chalet. Location is amazing and the property had fantastic touches all throughout and was so comfortable. We loved watching movies on the incredible entertainment system and the kitchen had everything needed to make great meals at home. Communication with Jim is outstanding. Would love to stay again!!
It was peaceful and quiet, just what we needed for a weekend away without the kids. The decor was unique and gave the place an authentic and cozy feel. Wish the leaves hadnât fallen already during our stay but the view was beautiful regardless. I highly recommend traveling a little further out of town for groceries, the local supermarket was pretty sad.
Great location! Really appreciated being able to walk into Dolly Sodds and close enough to other interest. House was comfortable and had everything we needed, including relaxing evenings. Will be looking to return.
We absolutely loved our stay. The cabin is so eclectic and we enjoyed looking at all the things from the ownerâs travels. It was stocked with everything we needed to cook, including lots of spices. We so enjoyed the hot tub while it snowed. Truly magical! Owner was very responsive as well. We hope to be back someday.
Our experience with our stay was absolutely wonderful, The property is cery well maintained and to be honest the pictures are great but if you have a opportunity to see it in person it will blow you away!
There is a lot of treasures inside the home from the owners travels of the world and we both found it to be just incredible!
The mountain ciews are to die for and if you like to hike this is the place to be đ
I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a beautiful get away with peace in quiet.
This house was just as described online. It was private with an excellent view. The host was friendly and answered our messages within an hour or so. I will definitely rent from this gentleman again.
Jim has worked internationally since 1995, and discovered Canaan Valley while serving in Afghanistan. Drawn to the wilderness; Canaan is one of the best decisions I've ever made.
