About this property

Your Home Away From Home In The Heart Of Davis, WV

Our second home is spacious and clean, in a great location and terrific for families or groups of friends! There are 4 bedrooms and can easily sleep 9. The kitchen is big with a gas stove and all the amenities for people who love to cook. The living room has a big TV for movie night as well as a table in the dining that can seat 12 for game or meals. The bedrooms are "Bear Lair" with a queen bed, "Velociraptor's Den" with a double bed and a day bed, "Falcons Nest" with a twin bed and a hammock, and "Ma Chambre" with a queen bed. There is an office off this room that has an airbed you can use. We have a locked shed with kayaks you can borrow or safely store your own bicycles etc. The entrance to the house has a big mud room so you can leave your dirty shoes, skis, bicycles there. There's a porch upstairs off the master bedroom. The lawn is great for outside games and we have a shared fire pit.
We're within walking distance of Stumptown Brewery as well as several restaurants and shops. Thomas is just a two-mile drive and boasts great live music and art. There are 3 ski areas within 15 miles as well as 2 State Parks.

thanks for the stay!
I was not able to go, but our friends went and had a great time. It was warm enough and the house was cozy. The kitchen floor was the one place that felt cold, maybe some slippers for the guests could help. Great location in town, close to stores/restaurants even in the snow.

About the host

Hosted by Annie Mealey

Host profile image
Growing up as the daughter of diplomatic parents i learned the love of travel and of meeting new people and going to new places. After college at University of California, Santa Cruz and then Grad school at UVA we moved to Keystone, CO where i started a bed and breakfast in our home while raising 4 sons. We moved back east to Bethesda, MD where we currently live, and then bought the place in Davis. The kids are all grown, and just one is still in college.
I own a shop in Davis that brings people from all over the area to shop. We have aromatherapy, teas, herbs, spices, clothing and many gifts items to numerous to list. The staff there is usually available for any questions!

Why they chose this property

Ou 1890s house is very relaxed and comfortable. People immediately feel at home here and love the decorations we've collected from where we lived in Europe and Colorado. We are not "fussy" about our possessions so you don't need to feel tense with children and pets staying at our place! In fact, there are many toys that kids can play with while staying there. I've been hiking/skiing/biking in the area for years so was really happy when we got a place of our own.
The area is really safe and people are genuinely friendly. It's close to the Washington, DC area, just 2 hours 40 minutes using the new road 48/55.

What makes this property unique

The proximity of my shop is a plus! It's a great place to learn more about the area and they have extra keys to the house if needed. The feeling in the home is hard to describe, but everyone who stays here sleeps well and doesn't want to leave! The mud room is really nice for keeping your stuff!
The house is within wailing distance of the town (basically in the back yard of the house) which is a bit run-down but improving all the time. We now have a brewery within a few hundred yards of the house!
