Westwood-Very Private - Blackwater Canyon Trail- 1 mile from Thomas

Welcome to Westwood, a very private mountain getaway about a mile outside of Thomas, WV in the historic area of Coketon, WV. Perched a mile above the Blackwater Canyon, on two plus acres, it also borders the Western Pocahontas property, some 68,000 acres of Wild West Va. A very private location adds to the aesthetics all while being close to the Thomas town center. The 2 1/2 bedroom, 2 full bath house sleeps up to eight people and has a great deck overlooking the "Moors" as well as a front porch overlooking Snyder Run. Hiking, Biking, Cross country skiing are just a few of the activities available from one of the best locations in the area. The Blackwater Canyon Trail is at the bottom of the hill, go right to Douglas Falls and left 3/4 mile into Thomas. If you are a Mt. Top Hunting Club member, hunting ,fishing and ATV enthusiast have it all at your backdoor, with miles of trails right off the property.

Gorgeous location
Westwood property was located in a pristine corner close to the hiking trail which we caught to get to Douglas falls. The property was really clean, spacious, with a well stocked kitchen. It is so close to black water state falls park, Canaan valley resort . We are looking forward to coming back again.

We went to enjoy fall color in WV. Westwood is a beautiful home. Saw lots of deer and there were many spots around the house to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. I would love to return to this wonderful place!

Loved our stay
We took a somewhat spontaneous trip to this house. We've rented in the area many times, but we really loved how comfortable the house was and the location. We took our pups and really, really appreciate the house being dog friendly. We will be back soon. This is our new pick for our trips to this area.

Two night getaway
We were looking for a quiet place near hiking and biking. Westwood was perfect - quiet, only birds heard as we sat on the shaded deck in the morning and evening; and an easy walk into Thomas or to Douglas Falls with Blackwater a short ride away. The house was spotlessly clean with helpful supplies and good strong showers to wash away hiking dirt at the end of the day. We had a lovely interlude and would happily return. Temps about 15 degrees cooler than the heatwave in DC.

Thomas Trip
We enjoyed the property and the area very much. The cabin was really a house and very clean and well appointed. It overlooked a stream (presumably Snyder Run) and the area was pretty awesome. At the same time, if you wanted Thomas was only 5a short distance. It was a great get-away.
