About this house rental

Situated in Dry Fork, this lovely house for $160 per night is a great option for your next trip. History meets comfort at this original Canaan Valley home! Cooper Homestead is a true blend of all the “things” we humans enjoy and the history we love to hear about. One of the first families to settle in the high Allegheny Mountains, the Coopers farmed, timbered and raised 9 children 3200”above sea level. Built in 1882, Cooper Homestead is the only original Canaan Valley cabin still standing. And now it is available for you to rent! Renovated just enough to offer a full kitchen, laundry center and yes-inside plumbing, the homestead sits on 10 acres of super scenery and spectacular views. Enjoy some porch time. Prepare your favorite meal. Take in the views and witness true tranquility. Visit and imagine this pristine property filled with a large hard-working family. You can feel the history and find the modern as you experience this one of a kind lodging opportunity. The homestead is most comfortable for a couple or a couple with one or two children. Your well behaved dog is welcome with a small pet fee. VIRTUAL TOUR

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.

The house had cob webs, water stunk and the csble did not eork the whole stay until the last evening we were there. Plus the entire area had nothing to do. If you want time to do nothing, then yhis is the place.

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 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.

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.
