Conveniently located and newly remodeled

Check in was super easy, and it was nice to see that the property had been recently renovated with new bathrooms and a gas fireplace. We had a great stay and were able to walk to the Timberline slopes from the property. Will definitlely look to book again.

Pre-Christmas Ski trip

We wanted snow and to be close to the ski resort and got both! It snowed the night we arrived. The ski resort is literally a 5 minute walk from the cabin. Everything was very, very clean and plenty of towels were available for both the hot tub and showers. 100% would stay there again!

Great location/very clean

We enjoyed our stay. The house is just around the corner from the ski lift, so we didn’t have to drive or worry about parking. The house was exceptionally clean with appliance upgrades. The gas fireplace and hot tub were excellent. No problems at all. Would stay here again.

Great Timberline Mtn getaway!

My husband and I, along with our 3 young adult/teenage children thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Brookside Chalet. Our family makes the trip to Timberline Mtn every year to ski/snowboard and this was the perfect house for us. The home is well appointed with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms - two of which have been completely renovated with nice finishes. The open floorplan of the kitchen/dining/living room are had a great flow and we did not feel cramped. The updated kitchen has new appliances and tons of counterspace. The kitchen is well-stocked with items for cooking and plenty of dishes for a crowd. Dining area had plenty of seating for us for meals and card games. We also appreciated the home being pet friendly as it was nice to bring our dog along with us. We enjoyed 3 days of skiing at Timberline Mtn - and with it being just around the corner, we could come back to the house for some downtime and quickly head back for more mountain fun. The house had plenty of beds - some more comfortable than others - and the rooms were spacious and each had a TV. The hot tub was a favorite after a long day of skiing and snowboarding. The Wi-Fi was strong enough for us to work a bit. We also enjoyed seeing many deer in the backyard from time to time. Daniel was a wonderful host and was quick to respond to any questions. We will definitely be back!

This was our 2nd year staying at this FABULOUS place!! The place has new bathrooms and updated kitchen and flooring. It’s the PERFECT place if you’re skiing Timberline or surrounding ski areas. The hot tub on the back deck is the finishing touch to a long day on the slopes. Can’t wait for next year!!!

Great value, roomy, and close to slopes.

Took are kids for a mid week ski trip. Property was close to ski slopes which made it so convenient to go back for lunch or take a rest after skiing all day. Property is outdated but clean, roomy and for the price we would absolutely rent again. We had a great time no complaints. Property manager stayed in touch, WiFi worked just fine for us, jacuzzi was clean. Hope to make it back next year!

Ski Weekend

I booked this rental as a Christmas present for my husband who skis. (I don't ski.) The close proximity to Timberline and lot make this a 5 star property. There is plenty of parking. There is a creek you can see from the rear of the property, which is all wooded and feels very private. The neighborhood is well kept with many nice homes. The interior space feels large with room to spread out. However, the interior needs a complete makeover. There is carpeting practically everywhere (including on the main level beds and in the upstairs bathroom), which should be removed and some broken furniture. Communication with the property owner was good and the hot tub is a very nice feature. The baseboard heat worked great. My husband would definitely stay at this property again, but I need something cleaner and updated.

Perfect for skiing Timberline/Canaan Valley

I booked this property for a long weekend ski trip with my son. We stayed 3 nights and had an absolute blast. The pros: Super easy access to Timberline Ski Resort and Canaan Valley Ski Resort. The house was quite large with plenty of space. It was clean and cozy, even though the fireplace was off limits due to a recent issue that hadn’t been repaired. ( I was told this by the owner). The outside Jacuzzi was SWEET and so relaxing after a long day on the slopes. TV’s in all bedrooms, gaming console in main living room and plenty of bathrooms. Washer and dryer worked accordingly. Coffee pot, microwave, fridge and stove all worked accordingly. Cons: Living room furniture was outdated and needs replaced soon. Fireplace was off limits as I mentioned. 1974 blender was there for usage but I didn’t even attempt it. Pots, pans, silverware and knives need updated. My son had a BLAST and loved the place. I had fun and it’s was relaxing and super quiet. I give this place an overall B+. Get some new furniture and carpet and update the cookware and utensils, fix the fireplace and this place is MONEY!!! We WILL be back!!

Timberline

Everything was really great! A little outdated but nothing you can't deal with. We weren't able to use the fireplace because of a crack, great communication from the property owners though. The hot tub wasn't working at first, but after flipping some breakers we got it running. Lots of dishes were dirty and the hot tube was dirty. But nothing we couldn't have fixed.

Great location, but that's it.

This home desperately needs TLC. The address and lot number are different so that was a bit confusing trying to find it. The location is wonderful for skiing, but that is the only plus. Our trip was over the Christmas holiday with frigid temperatures. The fireplace was not working and this was not disclosed in advance. The home is extremely dusty. The mattresses and broken sofa need to be replaced since they are very old and uncomfortable. The main bathroom is bizarre with a dehumidifier attached to the wall and sink. The dishwasher leaks and the BBQ does not work. The area around the jacuzzi was littered with trash and beer cans. Sad to say, there just is not much pride of ownership.

Needs some TLC

Stayed during our summer vacation. Sadly the property needs some tlc. There are water stains in many places, the carpet is very worn. It is also very dark interior with little lighting. ( bulbs burned out) We did like the size. The fireplace is beautiful and would be very inviting in winter. The towels were nice. Due to rain, we didn't get to use the outside space but it was beautiful. However, we couldn't get the grill to light. We also felt it weird that garage door stood open at all times.

No WIFI

The property itself is great. The service is slim to none which is why we made sure to rent a cabin with WIFI. Of course it did not work all weekend even after contacting the owner multiple times. The garage was also full of 10-15 bags of trash with boxes and other trash and smelled awful. They expect you to do the laundry for them and clean the entire cabin for them which we did not mind, but for over $200 a day they could clean up the very little mess we left. Overall a beautiful area and close to all the sights.
