Huge House with Pond on 55 Acre Horse Farm 10 Minutes from Asheville. Weddings!

Welcome to The Mane House at Canaan Valley where you can enjoy your own private estate, while only being a couple of miles from the City of Asheville.
Drive on in past the transplanted 80 year old barn and stocked pond and stay a while. The house is over 5,000 square feet with plenty of room to stretch out.
There are 40 acres of hiking trails to explore if you really want to stretch out.
We have lots of wildlife such as turkeys, deer, geese, turtles, etc. along with 4 horses, a flock of chickens, ducks, and a donkey named Jezzie.
The pond is a wonderful place to relax. There are plenty of fish in there if you want to throw in a line.
Walk in the front door and fall in love with the cathedral ceilings and winding staircase. The house is perfect for large groups and has plenty of cozy gathering spaces. There are also plenty of bedrooms to get away from it all.
There are 4 upstairs bedrooms.
Bedroom 1 has a King bed and a private bath.
The other three rooms share a centralized bathroom.
Bedroom 2 has a Queen bed.
Bedroom 3 has two Queen beds.
Bedroom 4 has a full beds and four twins. This is our bunk room/library and is a guest favorite. The bunk room must be accessed through the double queen room.
Bedroom 5 is on the main level and has one king bed.
Bedroom 6 is the Master on the main level. It boasts tray ceilings and a spa quality bathroom complete with steam shower and Copper Clawfoot tub.
The kitchen is nicely appointed with double Thermador Ovens and a 6 burner Thermador range. It is the perfect place to cook up a large family meal and it even has two dishwashers to help clean up the mess.
Gather for stories around one of the two wood burning fireplaces. Hit the sunroom for a ping pong match. Catch the game on the 70" Smart TV. Hang out on the back patio under the gazebo. Head over to the outdoor pavilion and fire up the grill. The opportunities are endless.
The property is breathtaking. Plan a getaway, plan a family reunion or plan your Wedding in a Mountain Paradise.
Along with having two rental houses that sleep up to a total of 24 guests, (check out the Hen House #9127134) Canaan Valley is a full service Venue. We have a huge outdoor ceremony site overlooking our pond and barn. We just completed our 1920’s Speakeasy themed reception area complete with an 8 tap beer and wine bar. These two spaces are connected by a winding boardwalk through the woods that simply has to be seen to be believed.
Belle of Wedding Belle’s (weddingbellesnc) is our event director. Please reach out to Belle for event pricing and availability. ALL EVENTS MUST BE PREAPPROVED BY BELLE PRIOR TO BOOKING.
Canaan Valley is set up to seamlessly incorporate our rentals into our event space or keep them completely separate, all while being a quick Uber ride from downtown.
We are not a management company. We are the owners and Canaan Valley Farms is our home. We live on the property and are always available should we be needed, but we only come when called, your privacy is important to us. We feel very blessed to live in such an amazing place and look forward to sharing it with your family.

Why Heavan Must Wait for at Least One Return Visit!
Three generations, including former spouse, three children, one daughter in law and four grands - 6-13 , two boys and two girls . Fishing, horseback, around the fire pit a couple evenings, hiking and games on property. Off site, hiking to a waterfall, tubing the river, golf all generations at the Donald Ross designed Muni , , and a exquisite dinner on Terrace at the Grove Park with fabulous views, food and memories enjoyed by all 10 of us. , salt cave and massage experiences and normal sightseeing and shopping. To borrow from Sir Winston Churchill, " I am very easily pleased with the very best . " Compares favorably to my journey to India as a guest of the Oberoi Group, Asia finest hotel and resort group . I will give up of my memory of view of the Tag from my room in India. for the memory and picture of 13 granddaughter and me as she landed her first big mouth bass from the pond in front of the house ( and it was big ! ) If you tell me how to do it, I will send a picture if her mother permits. To borrow from Churchill , " I am very easily pleased by the very best " See you next year, Dan and with thanks and appreciation, Johnny L .

Amazing Stay
We had a party of 11 stay at the Mane House on this beautiful property. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer to make use of all the wonderful amenities. We had great communication with one of the owners and even came to help us on a Saturday night with the tv which was not necessary. This vacation went above our expectation and would recommend to anyone. The only advice is to request Uber’s with plenty of time as the rideshare situation in Asheville is not as plentiful. But this has nothing to do with the house (:

Truly a Great Property
This house is very beautiful, with everything you could possible need for a wonderful stay. Dan was a great host, and very communicative throughout the booking and check-in process. The house itself is located on a large farm, with friendly horses grazing nearby. The house was extremely clean and very spacious - we had 12 adults with plenty of room to spare. We even squeezed in a 12-person yoga class in one of the indoor spaces! The fresh flowers waiting in the kitchen and living room were a nice surprise. I would highly recommend booking this property.

Fantastic getaway house in the mountains
We had an amazing time for our girls getaway weekend. Dan and his family were incredible hosts, letting us meet the dogs and horses, bringing fire to the fireplace, and even buying sleds for our group in the wake of an unexpected snow storm. The house is a quick easy drive to downtown Asheville. It was huge and lovely with warm touches throughout - honestly even better than the pictures. Would definitely recommend and return! Thank you for such an incredible weekend.

Excellent Spot
Gorgeous house with very competent, hands-off owners tucked into the back of a farm. Probably the best kitchen we've had in 10 years of renting cabins. Wonderful couches, so comfortable. Lighting is almost exclusively warm which makes the spot feel cozy but can make playing ping pong tricky. Good table space for the board gamers out there -- easily two game tables and two puzzle. Excellent sassy signage. Overall excellent no meaningful complaints.

Great week!
Perfect house and property for our family of ten ranging from age 65 to 2 years. Everyone had their space. House is beautiful and comfortable. I wish I could have taken the master bath home with me. The steam shower was luxurious. Kids and adults loved their time on the farm. They even asked if they could have a farm in their backyard. The Crouse family were welcoming and very attentive. Nothing we needed or asked was a problem. Thanks for a great week!

Beautiful Main House and Property
We stayed in the main house on the property. Three families with plenty of room to spread out. The house is gorgeous with a lot of little unique details through out. There are two washer and dryers, two dishwashers and an oversized frig. We fished at the pond and caught some pretty big fish. Got to meet the horses, cats, and the donkey. The owner Dan was very friendly and responsive. Everything was perfect and we loved our stay.
