About this property

Rest Assured in Black Bear Resort-Dog Friendly-Hike, ski, fish, bike, and relax

We welcome you (and your dogs) to come enjoy our cabin located in the wonderful Black Bear Resort. Black Bear now has 2 pickle ball courts overlooking the beautiful wildlife refuge available for our guests. Our cabin features enough beds to sleep 8 people comfortably! It includes a full functioning kitchen, a real wood burning fireplace, washer and dryer, and a full bath with a double jacuzzi tub that is perfect for relaxing after exploring this absolutely beautiful area in West Virginia. Our cabin also features a deck that overlooks the Canaan Wildlife Refuge. And yes we have wifi!

Inside our cabin you will find a comfortable kitchen and living area with a flat screen tv w/roku built-in, blu-ray/dvd player (with a selection of movies), cable tv, fireplace (with plenty of wood to burn already at the cabin). One queen bed is located on the main level, twin bunk beds and a double bed are located in the loft area, and a double bed in the lower level that has a door leading to the deck that views the wildlife refuge. Loft and lower level are both accessed by a spiral staircase. In the loft you will also find another flat screen tv with cable connection and an xbox 360 with games for your enjoyment. To help entertain families, kids and friends we have a board games and coloring books too!

In the kitchen there is a refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, coffee pot, and on the deck is a gas grill for those that love to cook outdoors. For the days that you do not want to prepare your meal at the cabin you can venture to the historic towns of Davis (4.5 miles) or Thomas (7.3 miles) and try out one of their delicious restaurants or breweries.

Being located in Black Bear Resort you have FREE access to their amenities which includes pickle ball courts, fishing ponds, fire pits, miniature golf course, volleyball court, playground, and a walking trail over looking the beautiful Canaan Valley.

If you decide to leave the peaceful serenity of the resort, our cabin is close to wonderful places to explore in every season of the year.

In the winter you can head over to Blackwater Falls State Park (7.8 Miles from cabin) for snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and the longest sled run in the U.S. with a conveyor to take you back to the top! Or visit White Grass Cross Country Ski Resort (8 miles and it was rated #1 in U.S. for cross country skiing by USA Today). If you want downhill skiing or snowboarding you can choose from Canaan Valley Resort State Park (6 miles) or Timberline Four Seasons Resort (7.8 miles). Canaan Valley Resort State Park also has 1,200 foot tubing park and an ice skating rink!

Spring is when you can find some of the best fly fishing in WV! Black Bear Resort is surrounded by Federal Wilderness Land spring is a great time to view the wildlife.

Summer is when visitors can enjoy cooler mountain temperatures with plenty of hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, or white water rafting in the great outdoors. If you are seeking hiking and beautiful views adventure over to Dolly Sods (17.4 miles) in the Monongahela National Forest. Be sure to keep driving until you find the views! Blackwater Falls is also a great place to visit and hike in any season!

With cooler temperatures, Fall is when the trees change colors to vibrant reds, golds, oranges and browns. This normally occurs mid to late September. This is another time to go see Dolly Sods as the Huckleberry and Blueberries turn a vibrant red all through the valleys.

If you want to travel a little further, you can spend a day at Seneca Rocks (27.8 miles) best known for its rocky cliffs, beautiful views and mountain climbing. If you enjoy exploring caves you can head to Smoke Hole Caverns (41.3 miles) or Seneca Caverns (35.1 miles).

Save your money

I was not entirely happy with the cleanliness of this cabin. For the amount of money one pays each night to stay, for starters AC should be a given. You can't even count the upstairs as a reasonable room to sleep bc you won't get even 15 mins of shut eye with how incredibly hot it is. The fan did nothing to help, so unfortunately we had to use the torn up couch to sleep on bc of this. The basement room is damp and muggy, so that leaves you with really just the floor you walk into as functioning rooms. If you're thinking of paying extra bc it has a jacuzzi tub, DON'T! It does absolutely nothing, no power whatsoever and you honestly might injure yourself using the shower in general bc you have to lean so far back to reach the shower head. When the listing says "starter supplies", I expect there to be laundry detergent to wash at least ONE load of towels, but there wasn't. While on the topic of cleaning, I might have kept my mouth shut about having to wash our towels (given theres a cleaning crew), had my experience been even somewhat nice, but again I go back to, when you look at how much it cost per night and you have the audacity to ask someone to supply their own cleaning supplies and wash the towels, thats outrageous. Btw, dont trust any of the supplies. The entire cabinet of starter ingredients are expired. I found some dated 2019. Some cleaning crew this place has. I wouldn't recommend and I wouldn't return.

Weekend getaway

Beautiful location with all the woods and very very clean. My only downside for this place was it wasn’t a true 3 bedroom as 2 of the rooms did not have a 4th wall. Made navigating the space with children very difficult for naps and bedtime. Being multiple sound machines and it can work.

Beautiful

The property and cabins are beautiful. Nice views, quiet, friendly and felt very safe. The cabin was clean and comfortable. We watched deer in the woods right behind our cabin from our porch. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and the fireplace every night of our week-long stay. We hated to leave.

Great spot to enjoy beautiful Canaan Valley!

We had a great time at the Rest Assured cabin! We planned our trip to see the Perseids meteor shower and couldn’t have asked for a better spot - we saw tons of shooting stars. We also enjoyed hiking in Dolly Sods and exploring Davis. With 2 humans and a dog, we had more than enough room. We enjoyed the patio and grill, and walking around the Black Bear Resort.

My Stay

The cabin was very nice. It did not have air conditioning, but to be fair, it did not list that in the amenities. So I should have read closer. My sons would have certainly swam in the pool, and I thought a resort should have had the pool ready at the beginning of June. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Perfect for our needs!

We were in town for the Highlands Sky 40 mile race. The cabin was perfect for our needs. The resort was quiet and centrally located to Blackwater Falls and Canaan Valley. There are tons of trails and wilderness in the area to explore. The cabin was cozy and comfortable, and deceivingly roomy. Laura and Jeff were great to work with, and very responsive. We'd love to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Barnette

Host profile image
Hi! My name is Laura Barnette. I have a husband (Jeff Barnette) and 3 wonderful children. We love the outdoors and spending time together seeking new adventures or relaxing after the adventures. We bought our 'treehouse' for a get away place and for a place we could rent to other families or individuals so they can enjoy it too! We are new to WV and to cold weather. Being form the south this is a whole new experience for us. This winter we will hopefully learn to ski/snowboard! Or at least have fun trying!!!

Why they chose this property

We first visited Canaan Valley and Black Bear Resort in the fall of 2017. My family and I fell in love with Black Bear Resort and the surrounding areas. Within 1 month we had a contract on our very own 'treehouse'! We loved this one because it backed up to the wildlife refuge adding privacy and serenity plus it had the double jacuzzi tub! We love coming and staying in it and we hope others will love it too!
