My family and I stayed at "The Chalet" at mirror lake managed by Canaan reality MLK weekend 2022. The cabin is out dated and poorly maintained and the management is even worst. I DO NOT RECOMMEND STAYING WITH CANAAN REALITY. Below is a list of things you'll find if you do decide to rent this unit, you'll regret booking!
Master mattress is years beyond replacement, and caves into the center, it is not possible for 2 people to sleep on this bed. This is a huge issue when you go on a vacation for rest and you can't sleep. This was brought to managements attention the first morning of our stay after

I used VRBO to rent a 1 bedroom condo managed by Canaan Realty. The listing included internet; however, the unit didn't have internet. At first, they told me that service would come on in the morning but it didn't come on, ever. I requested to be reimbursed for cellular data charges that I paid and they said no. They told me that out of the 70 units they manage, I was the only one that complained so it was not a problem. The staff also said that internet coverage was not guaranteed because it was West Virginia but I could go to a different building for service next time I come and need internet

We rented a house in Timberline through Canaan. The place was in good shape, well maintained and stocked. Checking in and out was straightforward. The booking process on the website is user friendly, what you see is what you get.
We enjoyed the peace and quiet and cool temps. My kids enjoyed kayaking on the lake near the agency office (free access to the lake + kayaks for people renting properties with them).
You will want to book months ahead for popular times.

Had a great experience with these folks on our first rental weekend. They were professional, organized, and went out of their way to help when our plans unexpectedly changed. Cabin rentals in WV (or anywhere, for that matter) can really be hit or miss, so I would definitely recommend Canaan Realty for maximizing the chance that your stay is a hit!

The cabin itself is beautiful but in serious need of upgrades. There were alot of damages to the cabin including windows that would not close. The TV was an extremely outdated model with a fuzzy picture. Made for a long day on a rainy day with kids. The grill is a very tiny charcoal grill that was not nearly big enough to cook for 6 people. It was a relaxing vacation in a beautiful area but for the price I would not stay again.

Canaan Realty took over our rental once Timberline Realty shuttered. We were not happy with Timberline's maintenance. We are happy that Canaan Realty took over the rental and they fixed most of the issues. They've been flexible and easy to work with and hope to work with them again. I also rented through them back in 2004 and they were great then too. Thank you Canaan Realty!! Please keep Canaan Valley Wild & Wonderful!

I found a lovely house that my husband and I (both retired and older) were willing to rent in September. We were very excited about it and were able to work out a slight discount for staying longer than a week.
Unfortunately, the reservation could not be completed. The documentation required by Canaan Realty to finalize the rental stated that: "no refunds will be issued for mechanical equipment or property failures."
Given that nighttime temperatures drop into the 40s, we asked for a change that said if the heat were to go out, that we would receive a pro-rated refund based on

Whether you are looking to rent in Canaan Valley for some time in the WV mountains or, book a stay in a ski in-ski out property at the new Timberline Mountain or, are a homeowner wishing to hire a management company to handle the rental of your property I highly recommend doing business with Canaan Realty, which is under new ownership and management.
Last year I personally met with the new owner, Jenni Ray and ultimately decided to contract my rental property with Canaan Realty and could not be more pleased with my experience. Jenni has brought her years of real estate experience to Canaan Realty

Canaan Realty has been our go to realty company in Canaan Valley for over 8 years now. We have used others during our 20 years of vacation home ownership in Canaan Valley, but they have earned our business and we enjoy working with Jenni and her team. They work hard for both the home owner and the renter to insure a great experience for everyone. Our experience with other realty companies had one consistent issue, their ownership was never to be found when you had an issue. That's not the case with Jenni. She's always available for us and she'll be available for you too!

The staff at Canaan Realty is helpful, friendly and responds quickly to inquiries. The property we rented was well kept, cozy and definitely somewhere we would stay again. It seems that there has been a change of ownership in the past few years and the current owner provides a wonderful vacation experience.

What a beautiful area... very scenic. Not much in the arena of swimming though. The Mirror Lake was mostly dried up. The workers at Canaan Realty said it would be fixed in September and be full again. Big bummer! Not much to offer restaurant-wise... that is good anyway. The house -starry night- could have been better cleaned and maintained. Needs new carpet, deck furniture, couches (new or at least cleaned) and a paint job. Also the side yard is a mud pit so no place for kids to play. But the space inside is great! TV's and dvd players in every room which is great.

I recently rented a house through Canaan Realty and could not have been happier with my experience. Everything was perfect. Mirror lake is my new favorite getaway. It is beautiful and peaceful. Everyone in the Valley is so friendly and welcoming. This will quickly become my home away from home. I wish there was a way to rate it with ten stars; it is a little piece of paradise.

Horrible customer service! Never again! My family rented a house from Canaan Realty for the weekend, so that our friends from Brazil could experience the beauty of Canaan Valley. When we got there, the house that we originally rented had had a water damage and they switched us to another house (with less features than the original one). When we got there, the driveway had not been cleared, my sister-in-law had to hawl all of her stuff with her two young children up the long driveway, at least 150 yards. When we went to rental office to express our concers, all we got was a "We're

My cousin rented a house for us to stay in while visiting my uncle for his 80th birthday. This potentially beautiful home had extremely filthy carpets, cobb webs & dead bugs everywhere. The appliances were dated & were not operating very well. The upstairs bathroom tub was very slow to drain, so water was up to your ankles in the middle of the shower. I think it was absolutely ridiculous to ask for a security deposit on a home that was filthy & had a lot of damages. This is the second rental in less then a week for me that had below average conditions. It makes sad that it seems fewer

Initially, I was pleased with our rental. It was as advertised. We had to give a $300 security deposit upon arrival. We were 5 couples, 30-somethings, away from the kids for the long weekend. We used the hot tub on our first night, and after extreme winds, found the lid off in the morning, and the water level quite low. The hot tub also no longer displayed a temperature setting, but instead said "ECN." Not knowing anything about hot tubs, and not being left with any instructions, we attempted to fill the hot tub to a reasonable level, in hopes of "jump starting" the heating
