Ahhhh-mazing!
We absolutely LOVED our stay here. Very clean and homey. There's a great fire pit area out back. Sadly, we did not get to use it because it was VERY windy this weekend. The kitchen has everything you could ever need. Close to Blackwater Falls State Park and Canaan Valley everythingChip was very responsive and helpful when i called him about a minor issue with the stove and we had a nice chat with him on our way out. The best part was being able to take our Golden Retriever with us. We look forward to staying here again in the future!We look forw

A slice of Almost Heaven
The property is amazing. It is the perfect cabin for a small family. The cabin is surrounded by beautiful hiking trails. The inside was immaculate and stocked with everything we needed for the week. They even include a sofa cover if you are bringing your doggy. Perfect location for activities in Canaan, Davis, Thomas, Spruce Knob….Chip and Laurie respond to messages quickly. Our child became very ill the night before check out and Laurie was understanding and compassionate that we could not complete the check out list. We definitely plan to return. Thank you Chip and Laurie for sharing your slice of Almost Heaven with us.

Amazing location!
We stayed here for a weekend in March with our kids (5 & 8) and had a blast. It's a great spot with lots of land to explore. We found some really cool waterfalls behind the house in the woods. The snow season was over so we missed XC skiing but we definitely will be back. Close to Blackwater Falls park and the town of Davis.

Perfect winter escape!!!
Clean, spacious, open concept space with two bedrooms, both with a queen bed. One has a twin bed and sheets in closet! Basic but high quality cookware to use, which is always a plus! Easy communications with Chip and Laurie, such kind people!!! The ideal location for XC skiing! Honestly, cannot beat it. Felt like the luckiest people all weekend!

Clean, quiet, spacious, and convenient; we will return.
A friend and I rendezvoused in the Canaan Valley in early November to hike in the nearby Dolly Sods and other trails in the area. Garagemahal was exactly as advertised: clean, quiet, spacious (for two people), and conveniently located. The owners/managers (Chip and Laurie), who live across the driveway, were friendly and available to provide information or report problems to (there weren't any), but were otherwise unobtrusive. We will return.

We went to get away from it all. It was quiet, comfortable and had everything you could want. We were lucky to have gorgeous weather for the entire week. We did some day trips, sightseeing type things, but always happy to come back to our little cabin in the woods.

Autumn weekend in the Canaan valley
This was a great place to stay—we loved it. Location was perfect—close to a number of great hikes and experiences. The space was charming. It had everything we needed and was incredibly clean. We would stay here again. Clear instructions from the hosts, easy parking; and easy with a young kid.
