NEW! Modern Mountain Retreat Near Dolly Sods & Skiing

Whispering Ridge Retreat is a modern mountain escape that is great for group

getaways, family vacations, or a peaceful work-from-the-woods retreat.



Nestled on two private wooded acres in the quiet Timberline community, this

spacious home offers the perfect blend of contemporary style and natural

serenity.



Just minutes from Timberline Mountain, the Dolly Sods Wilderness, and the

vibrant towns of Davis and Thomas, Whispering Ridge is your ideal basecamp for

four-season adventure.



## **The space**



Whispering Ridge Retreat features three-bedrooms, two full baths (1 King, 3

Queens) that comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests — ideal for family gatherings,

group getaways, or working remotely in a peaceful setting. Our home is over 2

acres and is a five-minute drive from Timberline Mountain and ten minutes from

Canaan Valley Resort. We are located an easy 2.5-3 hour drive from the DC

metro area and Charleston WV.



We are a short drive to the towns of Davis and Thomas where guests can enjoy

local shops and restaurants. We are also close to many popular outdoor sights

and trails like Seneca Rocks, Dolly Sods, Bald Knob, Blackwater Falls State

Park and Monongahela National Forest. We also encourage guests to take

advantage of the private trails and two beautiful lakes in our community

(kayaks and fishing are welcome!).



Start your mornings with coffee on the shaded deck, surrounded by trees and

birdsong. After a day of skiing or hiking, cozy up by the indoor fireplace or

step outside to stargaze under West Virginia’s clear, dark skies.



Inside, you’ll find thoughtful touches throughout: fast Wi-Fi, a fully stocked

kitchen, curated local art, and generous living spaces perfect for gathering

with friends or family.



The house is well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay,

including a gourmet kitchen that features cookware, a coffee maker/ Keurig,

blender, microwave, toaster, crockpot, and more. Feel free to message us if

you are wondering if we have something specific!



**We provide essential amenities for your convenience, including laundry

detergent, dishwasher soap, dryer sheets, shampoo, conditioner, body wash,

cleaning products, trash bags, and starter packs of toilet paper and paper

Please be respectful of our home and our belongings. A lot of time and effort

has gone into making this space as comfortable as possible and we hope to

share it for a long time.

Seasonal Notes:



Winter can be unpredictable in Canaan Valley, it sits at 3000+ feet so gets

more snow/weather than lower altitudes. Guests must be prepared with AWD/4WD

or tire chains for their vehicles to safely navigate to the valley and our HOA

community.



Spring/Summer/Fall:Canaan Valley's high elevation keeps average temperatures

much lower than the DC metro area giving you perfect hiking conditions and

cool nights to open the windows and let in the mountain breeze. With ceiling

fans and big windows that open in every room, everyone will stay comfortable

and cool all summer long. Though we do have AC, it’s quite frankly not needed!



## **Guest access**



This property utilizes keyless entry technology. Guests will be provided a

personalized keyless entry code for the duration of their stay.



Guests have access to the entire 2+ acre property, except the owner’s closet

and utility room.



We provide a level parking spot for up to 3-4 vehicles.



Please note that Old Timberline is a gated community, and guests will need to

complete a Rental Authorization Form that we will provide you with upon

reservation to present to the guard at the gate house upon arrival. Note: You

will not be admitted entry without this form.
