Family-friendly vacation rentals in Cheat River

We couldn’t have picked a better location to spend our 1 year wedding anniversary. We spent a beautiful Saturday at Blackwater Falls and exploring any trace of the Blackwater 100 (historic offroad race) around town. Sunday was raining and we spent the entire day at the cabin having the most peaceful day watching the clouds roll through.

I paid for extras, and they were fantastic. The views were incredible. The hot tub was one of the best that we have been in. Thank you for a great stay!!! The McNeils

It’s perfect, quiet, & the waterfront property is beautiful!! Patti replies quickly to any questions, comments, & concerns! We are already planning our next stay at this beautiful home! Everything you need for a relaxing weekend!! Wish I could pack my stuff & just live there!!

Catherine and Shawn where excellent hosts, they allowed us to make a last minute booking and everything was ready to go once we got there. The Cabin was very spacious and had room for the four of us. The Campground itself was very peaceful and no disturbances. I would recommend this to anyone that's looking for an AirBnb in the Elkins area.

Really nice place to stay in Thomas / Davis WVA. Clean and well stocked cabin. Comfortable and centrally located for all the outdoor activities. This cabin would be easy to access in the snow. It’s basically right off the main road and flat.

Amazing stay! The house was well-maintained and had plenty of space for our large group. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor space such as the hot tub and lakeside dock. The location was also close to major attractions while still having enough privacy. We would 100% recommend this property for anyone looking for a weekend getaway!

Location was absolutely perfect for us. Close enough to everything, but with a private feel. House felt bigger than the pictures, which was a pleasant surprise! Loved having the basement floor for our boys to have their own sense of privacy as well. Would come back again 100%!

Our stay was amazing waking up and drinking a cup of coffee looking at the lake was my favorite.

We really only slept there got in late on the first night and the second night. it is definitely off the beaten path and very quiet and quaint. we ended up getting there later than expected due to traffic delays. The hosts had no issues with us getting there so late and that made it so much less stressful. The value for our buck was great.

This listing was a great experience, everything we needed! The place was beautiful and everything was set up just fine. We had no worries. Highly recommended!

Great stay at Stephen’s. He advised us not to use our non 4WD vehicle to get up to the site but we tried anyway because we arrived after dark. He told us he could help get our car unstuck and patiently did so. It was a serene place and we tried some of his distillery items, which were tasteful and great (no hangover!!). Friendly and loving cat who follows him around as well.

Great place in a cute little town. Close to state parks and wonderful outdoor adventures! Dog friendly and very clean. Lots of extra space with a well stocked kitchen for eating in and enjoying the family.

Dan’s place was well kept! A good option for camping with some amenities. Bathrooms were very clean. We just happened to visiting on a very cold weekend and thought there would be more heating options. There is a little propane space heater that helped and the warm water bottles to put under the covers helps on a cold night as well.

Great house and great location! John’s instructions were useful and precise.

Blue moon rising was nothing short of amazing. I couldn’t recommend it enough. It was peaceful and beautiful. Exactly what we were looking for!

Our family and one other spent the New Year's holiday weekend at Skier's View while skiing at nearby Timberline Resort with our kids. Colleen was extremely proactive in sharing all of the pertinent info and went above and beyond to detail every aspect of the home as well as the surrounding community. The rental was a great price and had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the beautiful view of Timberline, Canaan, and Whitegrass. We have stayed at many homes in the Valley and this was our favorite!

Friends and family members rented several cabins at Black Bear for a wonderful weekend! Joan’s description warns that AWD is needed at this time of year—and it is. 🤪. Maintenance at Black Bear was extremely responsive when one of our group had difficulty getting out of the resort due to snow/ice. Nice to have the covered back porch to take off snowy wet clothes/boots.

Everything was phenomenal. Plenty of space to maneuver and have gatherings with loved ones.

My wife and I needed a trip away from the city for the long holiday weekend where we could enjoy some good activity in peaceful surroundings with our dog. This cozy pedestal cabin in Black Bear Resort was just what we were looking for. Check in was easy by picking up the keys at the resort lodge. The place had everything we needed to a cook a couple nights for ourselves, including the gas grill on the deck. The wall-mounted 4K flatscreen TV with Roku let us relax after three active days out and about in Canaan Valley while we listened to the thunderstorms roll over the mountains each evening. This would certainly be a fine place for folks (especially with kids -- there were two sets of bunk beds in the loft) to use a base for their WV adventures any time of year!

Well kept home in the woods. Deer visited the property often.

Loved staying at Lazy Bear Lodge. Beautiful home with privacy on big property. Hosts were super responsive and gave great local recommendations. Very accessible to hiking and white water rafting.

The house had so much to do which was fantastic for our kids. They were happy to spend the whole day being entertained by the arcade, pool, and other amenities. Thanks!

We booked James’s place at the last minute, and we chose it for the location rather than the accommodation. However, when we arrived we had a wonderful surprise, because it was much nicer than the photos had let us to believe. It was spacious and comfortable, with a good-sized kitchen and a lovely sitting area. The kids loved having the playground outside, and it was amazing to soak in the hot tub surrounded by snow, watching the stars come out. We also enjoyed using the indoor swimming pool and games room, and visiting the ponies at the riding centre. The kids sledded down the hill outside and we also went sledding at Blackwater Falls, which was fantastic. The waterfall looked so beautiful with all the icicles. We didn’t have time to try Timberline, but the skiing at Canaan Valley was reasonably priced and great fun. We also had a few nice meals in Davis and Thomas, and a beautiful walk to Douglas falls. Overall, it was a fabulous stay and we will definitely come again if we can…

We stayed at David's wonderful home for a few days around the New Year's. The kitchen was well appointed, the beds comfortable and the gas fireplace was really comforting when it was cold and stormy outside. wonderful location close to the national wildlife refuge, State Parks and the great little towns of Davis and Thomas West Virginia. highly recommended!
