A spectacular space for every season-in winter a real skier's destination!

The dictionary tells us that a lodge is a place where one-or in this case 18-come to rest. BINGO!

Professional or amateur astronomers will love spending part of the evening in the outdoor hot tub. It’s a short drive to Blackwater Falls, Thomas, and Davis. For sure this one is a win/win!

Perfect place for our family

We had 17 guests and everyone was comfortable! We loved the large community space where we could all hang out at night. Hot tub was great, location was awesome as some of us hiked to the top of the mountain every morning! Staff was very responsive for garbage pick up and hot tub shocking regularly.

We've always enjoyed enjoyed our stay, and this year was no exception. We've booked again for summer '25, and look forward to it already. The house comfortably fits our 8 couples. The house is beginning to show a little bit of minor wear though, but nothing serious.

Nice location

Spacious. We enjoyed hot tub and air hockey. House is dated and needs work -leaks paint and not many paper products provided. (Example napkins, trash bags and hand soaps) but clean and beautiful location.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at Best of Canaan was perfect. The house is large , roomy but also cozy. We had 3 families and everyone had their own space and we had great together space. To be able to walk out the door to the slopes cannot be overstated! The rental was updated, clean and very user friendly. We would definitely stay here again

The Best

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Best of Canaan is correctly named. This property and the managers are the best! I ended up calling them a couple times during our visit for minor things and the response was prompt, professional and friendly. They genuinely didn’t seem bothered by my calling to ask how to turn on the flood lights, to check the hot tub and to collect trash. Will definitely rent from them again! The kitchen was well equipped with a fancy Keurig combo machine, a traditional coffee pot, a crock pot, blender, pots & pans and plenty of dishes. They even supplied hand soaps, toilet paper in each bathroom and a full set of towels for each bed! One thing I didn’t notice till I arrived is there are actually 2 twin beds in the basement “hallway.” From the pictures I thought there was one. Plenty of space for our teenagers to spread out on their own floor! The only thing I didn’t give 5 stars to is the condition of the house as it is showing signs of wear which is to be expected. We have already booked again for next year.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The space was great for our group of 11 adults. We felt it could have been cleaner. Some of the furniture is tired and worn as are the pots and pans. The BBQ was very dirty. The roof leaked so the couch was wet and we had a rainy week. TV converters were missing in bedrooms and some not working properly. We made the best of the trip and had a good time anyway.

Perfect spot for a multifamily vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We took a multifamily vacation to this house. 15 people, and we never felt crowded. A lot of the furniture is older, but it’s very sturdy. The house is very clean. Hot tub worked great and was a wonderful treat for the kids. Right on the ski slope. The kitchen was equipped with so many pots pans, and all the things that you would need to cook family dinners as well as coffee pots, and Keurig. Also a second fridge in the laundry room. Office staff were extremely friendly and helpful when we had trouble with the Wi-Fi. (Our fault, not theirs)Would recommend to anyone.

Great space but very tired home

This home needs a good deep cleaning, blinds are dusty, table trestle is dusty, the kitchen floor needs refinishing, baking cookware is worn out, all light switches are dirty, outside stairs and railing needs refinishing, light bulbs are out, water pressure on upstairs showers are weak and as for heat and a/c downstairs is really really cold, upstairs is really hot and main floor has closest to the correct temperature. That being said, it is well furnished, has multiple coffee pots, plenty of dishes and silverware, wonderful gas stove, two refrigerators and although the kitchen refrigerator ice maker is broken, the laundry room fridge’s ice maker works. Bed linens were nice. I think a good addition would be to provide liquid shower soap in every shower rather than little soaps. Same with hand soap, liquid soap—it would not make such a mess as the little soaps do. As a former VRBO owner of a big house in Lake Tahoe that slept 25, I found going spring and fall for the “big clean” helped keep the maintenance issues under control. Also, for the price paid, I think two rolls of toilet paper is cheap and two rolls of paper towels also. I never made my guests have to pay for paper products or shower soap. This was a family wedding event that turned out to be two hours away from the house. We liked being all together.

Excellent time of year to experience Cannan Valley. Some furniture removed since past year and not replaced. Hot tub cover and headrests could use improving. Loved the Adirondack polywood chairs(a few additional would be excellent). Overall love coming here.

Critique of 4-day stay at Lost River Lodge

Rating Details: The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We take 4 days every spring to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Canaan Valley. Our group, of approximately 16 adults has been doing this for almost 40 years. We love the place. We started by staying during only winter months, but, due to age have pretty much switched to summer. The hiking and comeraderie are the most popular activities, and we still ski a little bit. Lost River Lodge provides a well-equipped, pleasant experience, that is centrally located.
