Affordably priced for a romantic getaway or family retreat~Beautiful Berkana!

My wife and I came to WV for a few days to escape the crowded flatlands of Chicago and we loved Berkana. I brought along my motorcycle to ride on the many great twisty roads around Davis (I highly recommend searching out Smoke Hole Road south of Petersbrg or 33 and 250 into Virginia and 72 over to Parsons) and my wife relaxed and read a few books on the beautiful and expansive deck. Riding my Ducati the 3 or so miles in to the house location on the crowned gravel roads was... interesting, but the seclusion of the property was great. It does mean however a bit of a drive to the grocery store in Davis and any wide choice of outside ammenities like restaurants (only two in Davis),drug stores or the like really means going to Elkins as Davis is very small. Not a problem but something to be aware of as Elkins is about a (beautiful and exciting) hours drive away. The property shows some signs of delayed maintenance like doors and windows that are difficult to open and close but nothing that was a deal breaker for us. The hot tub had a serious leak while we were there but the Best of Canaan staff was extremely helpful and had a technicion there immediately to have a look at the problem. Since it was "summertime" while we were there (40 degrees in mid August at night??!) the pricing of the property was very attractive. All in all a very good escape for us, but we were wishing it wasn't an 11-12 hour drive by the time we got home. So four thumbs up from us!

Had a very nice stay at Berkana. The house is very nice and the location is great if you want your privacy. Spent the days traveling to Seneca and Smoke hole caverns. The hot tub was great but wish the place had air conditioning because the weather was a little hot the first day but cooled down nicely after dark. Would stay there again for sure.

Really enjoyed the house, grounds and location. Stayed with my family (including 2 little ones) and had a great time. The kids enjoyed the deck, pond and labyrinth. A daily walk around the lake in the community was very enjoyable.

relaxing. setting nice. inside dirty. inside house just felt tired. ceiling had damage. renters had to do laundry..other duties. as an owner of a rental property I never asked renter to do duties....just trash.

Definitely off the beaten path...beautiful scenery, landscapes, wildlife. House is well maintained, clean and a treasure for those seeking a romantic escape or perhaps a memorable time with family. The owners have added several nice touches to make your stay even more enjoyable. Our only regret is that we only had 4 days and could not stay longer. Donna, with Best of Canaan, was professional, informative and helpful. We hope to return soon and highly recommend this property and the management company.
