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! ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the cabin: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Charcoal grill - Firepit - Garden - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Food and water bowls ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Guidebooks ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Gym - Kayak - Paddleboard - Water sports equipment - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 3,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/84000000/83540000/83531800/83531775/b04cf854.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Serene Pet Friendly Cabin w/ Resort Perks in Heart of WV Hike/Fish/Bike/Ski Davis - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.4 Exceptional 30 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-13&endDate=2025-10-14&selected=83531775&PinnedHotelID=83531775&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69930000/69924000/69923990/68008238.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Leaf Peeper’s - HUGE deck, pizza oven, Pac-Man!

The location was peaceful and the cabin had everything we needed. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, from dishes to pans to leftover containers and common spices. The railings on the deck allowed the dogs to enjoy hours outside and the gates at the stairs on the main level made it easy to keep them safe.

The pictures really don't do it justice. Wonderful house, nice quiet area, great walks around the lake and across the farm. We came up for our kids' spring break, intending to ski at Canaan Valley and Timberline. Both closed for the week due to weather and we almost didn't want to come... We are so glad we did, it was a wonderful place to stay. This is my first choice for next ski season, and also if we were to come up for the summer. I'm a huge fan. ##### Percy M.

The home is clean, well stocked and both dog and child- friendly. Lots of activities for all seasons nearby plus Blackwater Falls State Park and shopping in the quaint town of Davis. We were 8 adults and 2 dogs, all family but from multiple households. The main floor was great for meals and when we all wanted to be together. There was also ample space for quiet personal time. Plus a wall of windows and a deck on the lake side. It was everything we hoped for and plan to return. The owner was friendly and responded quickly to my questions. Your search is over—book it now 😁 ##### Peggy K. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ruth G. Jul 23, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Not able to fully relax… The setting of the property was beautiful. The property itself was a little junky around the exterior. Interior was not very clean, floors were quite dirty. We weren’t able to fully relax due to active cameras (not disclosed) in the listing that were recording on the outside of the house/deck areas. We did ask the owner to disarm them during our stay which he did but then we were always wondering if there were any interior cameras. We did bring two dogs which the house was very accommodating for but with the home being on the lake there was goose poop everywhere. The house is in a great location, very quite neighborhood which was nice and overlooking a beautiful pond. It was also well stocked. If it weren’t for the lack of cleanliness and the active camera situation we would have absolutely loved our stay. ##### Ruth G. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah B. Jan 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Already planning our next visit. We've staying in a lot of rental homes and you can always tell when it's a home or if it's a business. This is a home. The second we walked in, we felt like we had arrived at our new home. I have a baby that loves to crawl upstairs and then fall down them and there were baby gates. The view was spectacular, the bedrooms were huge and so comfortable. We traveled with 3 families, 8 children. So. Many. Kids. And the house never felt cramped. The dining room table was large enough for us to all sit down and eat dinner together. the kitchen was stocked, we had plenty of everything we could need. We want to come back for every season. We came up to go sledding at Blackwater state park and this house was only 20 minutes away. It was perfect. Brian was an amazing host, he was prompt in his message responses and extremely accommodating. The kids never wanted to leave and neither did the adults. Can't wait to go back in the summer to enjoy the lake! ##### Sarah B. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paula L.
