4 Bedroom Cabin in Davis

Find your happy place with the whole family (or families!) at this relaxing Cabin at the Lake, affectionately known as Bessie. 4 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, & 3000 sq/ft of pure peace in the heart of Canaan Valley. Close to skiing, great hiking and biking, the unique charms of Davis & Thomas, Blackwater Falls, Dolly Sods Wilderness and everything else the Valley has to offer. Come once, come often.. you'll absolutely fall in love with Canaan, just like we did. We can't wait to share it with you. Please see our guidebook for a full review of the food, sights, and sounds of the Valley. We think you'll love it out here as much as we do.
Bessie is located a few miles south of Davis, making it perfectly positioned for access to hiking, skiing, and shopping in the towns. Sitting right on Mallow Lake, you can roll right out of bed onto a paddle board or kayak for some morning exercise. Or just prop your feet up for some great bonding time with family and friends in this upscale cabin, which has recently been updated with new furniture, appliances, kitchen counters, and bathroom vanities.
This space has been created with families having two and four legged children in mind. There are retractable baby gates that can be used to block stairs on the main floor, with a pack n' play, baby monitor, changing table, and booster seat available. Up to two dogs are absolutely welcome, and we have plenty of dog towels should your four-legged friends decide to chase the ducks into the lake. We have also equipped the home with family games and puzzles, books for adults and kids, children's toys, including an outdoor playhouse, and a dog bed and bowls for food and water.
During the summer months (and spring/fall, if you dare), you're welcome to enjoy the water, which is only accessible by members of our community. You may see your lake neighbors out fishing or paddle boarding as well. We'll provide a kayak and paddle board or two during the warmer weather, (although they are stored in the colder seasons), as well as fishing rods all year 'round (the lake is stocked with fish). Please understand that swimming, and any time in the water is spent at your own risk, as there is no lifeguard and we have spotted snapping turtles in the lake.
There's plenty of other ways to spend time outside, with a large outdoor dining table, Adirondack chairs, a fire pit out by the lake, and a charcoal grill & outdoor wood stove on the main deck, all for guest use. We do not provide charcoal for wood so please plan accordingly. There is also a common area in the community with a grill, covered picnic tables, wood burning fireplace, playground, and pond for additional water access!
Also note, the fireplace on the main level has not yet been approved for wood or gas burning and should not be used. The gas fireplace on the ground level is fully operational.
The house has two first aid kits on each of the two main levels. Contact info for emergency services is also posted in the house.
* Please note, for security purposes there are exterior cameras attached to the house capturing video & audio 24/7 in order to monitor each entrance to the house, as well as the parking area. There are no cameras inside the home!

Summary: Being on a lake was a big hit from morning coffee on the balcony to endless canvassing the lake on the paddle board and funyak and then a campfire, this was extended family vaca at its best.
