This was my 3rd time conducting a training at CVR. I can’t say enough about how well all the trainings have gone thanks to the staff at Canaan. The property is beautiful, so comfortable, great food and wonderful staff. One of these days I’ll get to go just for fun!

My husband and I got away for a weekend of hiking and relaxing in WV. Canaan Valley Resort was the perfect home base for our exploring - especially when the weather wasn't cooperating! Our room was clean and spacious (we had a Junior Suite), and the bed was very comfortable. We ate in the Hickory Dining Room on several occasions and the food was always great (my Grilled Atlantic Salmon was seriously delicious!). The staff, both in the restaurant and in the lodge, were very friendly/accommodating. We felt right at home and, while we did get out for some spectacular hiking (Dolly Sods is MUST), we also thoroughly enjoyed a drizzly morning by the fireplace in the lobby (games and puzzles provided) and could have easily lingered around the resort longer. The setting, the atmosphere, and the staff were so inviting. Overall a wonderful getaway!
