Family-friendly vacation rentals in Elkins

Catherine and Shawn are absolutely wonderful hosts—warm, welcoming, and incredibly responsive. We had a major issue during our stay, and they handled it effortlessly and with such kindness. The house itself is charming and cozy, and the river and hot tub made for an especially peaceful retreat. I would absolutely love to come back. This place easily gets a 15/10 from me!

Where to even start? This cabin was the absolute best. We went with a total of 8 adults and 6 children under the age of 5. The cabin was so much more spacious than the photos make it appear, which was a very pleasant surprise. The finished basement is huge and was a great space for the kids. The kitchen was very well equipped and spacious for us to cook meals and snacks. The beds were comfortable and the walls are thick and you can’t hear a lot of outside noise. The location is great - about 10 minutes to Davis and 15 to Thomas and plenty of hiking and other activities. Our Apple Maps didn’t route us to the right place, but G00gle Maps did, just as an FYI. Seriously can’t recommend this place enough. We will definitely be back.

I paid for extras, and they were fantastic. The views were incredible. The hot tub was one of the best that we have been in. Thank you for a great stay!!! The McNeils

It’s perfect, quiet, & the waterfront property is beautiful!! Patti replies quickly to any questions, comments, & concerns! We are already planning our next stay at this beautiful home! Everything you need for a relaxing weekend!! Wish I could pack my stuff & just live there!!

We decided last minute to go to the mountains for the weekend. We have two pups and they were welcomed. No hassle for bringing them! The old school house is beautiful, and the host are so kind and sweet. I even sent them pictures of the trout we caught. I been all over the country and to other countries and this is by far one of the cleanest places we have stayed. I would 10/10 recommend! The hot was even clean. Perfect for finishing!! We will be back!! Thank you all again!!

My family of 6 (husband and I, two teenage sons, dad & brother) and our pup had a great time here. The house smelled clean for being pet friendly. I really liked the layout of the house. The master is upstairs with a bathroom all by itself. The couch up there could use a deep clean or new cushions, along with ceiling fans needing cleaned. To get the toilets to fully flush you just need to hold the handle for about 5 seconds, no biggie. Fished at the lake but no bites. There’s a list of things to do before departing but it’s not unreasonable. We visited Blackwater Falls, Seneca Rocks and Spruce Knob. The Canaan State Park Restaurant was the best food we had.

We had a wonderful winter stay! The house was inviting and cozy, and as other guests have mentioned well appointed with comfortable beds.

Very nice place. Private. Close to the lake. Clean! AC didn’t work for the weekend. Stayed at the same place last year and it did. Other than that, both my stays there were phenomenal!!

Fabulous house with detached suite for privacy for our group. Very clean and comfortable with many amenities. Walk right to Davis to shop and eat! Fireplace added warmth and camp vibes! Will come again!

We were staying the weekend for the Maple festival and Patti’s cottage was absolutely perfect for the weekend! Soon after arriving I got a migraine and Patti was so accommodating and let us check in a few hours early so I could rest, an absolute life saver! She provided everything we could have needed and more! Definitely will be returning!

This property is beautiful and we loved our stay. Michael was responsive, flexible, and kind.

Our family and one other spent the New Year's holiday weekend at Skier's View while skiing at nearby Timberline Resort with our kids. Colleen was extremely proactive in sharing all of the pertinent info and went above and beyond to detail every aspect of the home as well as the surrounding community. The rental was a great price and had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the beautiful view of Timberline, Canaan, and Whitegrass. We have stayed at many homes in the Valley and this was our favorite!

Certainly felt like Grandmas's House. Very cozy.

Lovely place with a Ruku set up, great sized space for both bedroom, bathroom, and living area. Pretty cool it was a bank renovated into an airbnb. Love that it was near a river, too. And it was pet friendly, which is always the best!

really enjoyed our stay here. The town of Webster springs is really nice. this little cottage is perfect and cozy. Christina is very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend people make a stop here

This was our third stay at the Dandy and our first in the Nonchalant - it is just as spectacular as the Quaintrelle. Excellent design, super comfy bed/lonens, ample kitchen supplies and near the many treats of downtown Thomas…. And the lights above the stariewell are incredible at night!

We stayed at David's wonderful home for a few days around the New Year's. The kitchen was well appointed, the beds comfortable and the gas fireplace was really comforting when it was cold and stormy outside. wonderful location close to the national wildlife refuge, State Parks and the great little towns of Davis and Thomas West Virginia. highly recommended!

We booked James’s place at the last minute, and we chose it for the location rather than the accommodation. However, when we arrived we had a wonderful surprise, because it was much nicer than the photos had let us to believe. It was spacious and comfortable, with a good-sized kitchen and a lovely sitting area. The kids loved having the playground outside, and it was amazing to soak in the hot tub surrounded by snow, watching the stars come out. We also enjoyed using the indoor swimming pool and games room, and visiting the ponies at the riding centre. The kids sledded down the hill outside and we also went sledding at Blackwater Falls, which was fantastic. The waterfall looked so beautiful with all the icicles. We didn’t have time to try Timberline, but the skiing at Canaan Valley was reasonably priced and great fun. We also had a few nice meals in Davis and Thomas, and a beautiful walk to Douglas falls. Overall, it was a fabulous stay and we will definitely come again if we can…

Friends and family members rented several cabins at Black Bear for a wonderful weekend! Joan’s description warns that AWD is needed at this time of year—and it is. 🤪. Maintenance at Black Bear was extremely responsive when one of our group had difficulty getting out of the resort due to snow/ice. Nice to have the covered back porch to take off snowy wet clothes/boots.

My wife and I needed a trip away from the city for the long holiday weekend where we could enjoy some good activity in peaceful surroundings with our dog. This cozy pedestal cabin in Black Bear Resort was just what we were looking for. Check in was easy by picking up the keys at the resort lodge. The place had everything we needed to a cook a couple nights for ourselves, including the gas grill on the deck. The wall-mounted 4K flatscreen TV with Roku let us relax after three active days out and about in Canaan Valley while we listened to the thunderstorms roll over the mountains each evening. This would certainly be a fine place for folks (especially with kids -- there were two sets of bunk beds in the loft) to use a base for their WV adventures any time of year!

We had a great time. The passport sent was useful and very accurate. The space was clean and the heated pool was great.

5 star stay here in Davis. The space is beautiful and spacious end unit townhouses on two levels. The hot tub was brand new and water was pristine. Me and my family really enjoyed our stay. There is a lovely community space a few feet away with playground, pool and lake. I would highly recommend this place

Great stay utilizing Don's place down at Silver Creek. Highly recommend for lower cost vs the top of the mountain options with Shuttle availability to the top.
