About this house rental
Cedar Chalet House on Mount Storm lake.
3 bedroom/2 bath (with sleeper sofa in loft) with deck, fire pit, outdoor dog pen, boat ramp. and private dock. Many amenities available for a short or long-term rental. On-site property manager lives next door.
Easily accommodates eight adults:
- Two bedrooms on the first floor with Queen-size beds
- One King-size bed upstairs in loft
- Pull out sleeper couch also upstairs in loft (can be made up as a bed prior to arrival upon request)
Mount Storm lake is a 1200 acre lake that is heated by a Dominion Power plant. Summer water temperatures are normally in the 80-90s making for relaxing swimming and boating. Convenient to highway 48, and approximately three hours to DC. Just south of the Western edge of Maryland and approximately 2-2.5 hours from Pittsburgh.
We have a private boat ramp and dock on the property with gorgeous views of the lake. Enjoy swimming in the warm water, resting in the shade, or even reading a book from our home library while lounging in the hammock.
If you enjoy fishing, you can catch numerous types of fish, including largemouth and smallmouth bass as well as numerous channel catfish. Hybid striped bass and walleye are also present. Fishing licenses are required and available online or at local Walmart stores (approx. 30-45 minute drive). The local Liberty gas station / convenience mart sells bait (3 miles/5 minute drive). The Mount Storm Lake Fishing Guide by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (WVDNR) provides topographical features of the area as well as depths for the lake. I tried to provide a link, but VRBO deleted it, so you will have to google it.
If you want to check out one of the larger fish taken from this lake in the last few years, search for the headline: "WV's Mount Storm lake becoming a hotspot for striper fishing" from a 15 December 2018 article at the WV Gazette-Mail online.
For food and other essentials, there is a grocery store (Shop and Save) in Davis, WV that is 16 miles away (approx. 21 minute drive), several grocery stores (Shop and Save, Food Lion, and Walmart) in Moorefield, WV that are 30 miles away (approx. 33 minute drive), and a Walmart and other grocery stores in Keyser, WV that are 24 miles away (approx. 30 minute drive). There are also stores in Oakland, MD and Petersburg, WV that have similar drive times and distances.
In addition, there is a Liberty gas/convenience store 3 miles away (5 minute drive) with ample basic items and freshly baked pizza, pepperoni rolls, sandwiches, and other fast food items.
You may love the lake so much that you don't want to venture out much during your stay. But if you do, some of the gorgeous locations you can visit within a 25-45 minute drive include hiking and other nature activities at Blackwater Falls State Park, horseback riding with Mountain Trail Rides, Timberline Four-seasons Resort and Canaan Valley Resort Golf and Ski Area, hiking and sightseeing at Dolly Sods Wilderness and lots of outdoor activities at Seneca Rocks.
In addition, the towns of Davis, WV and Thomas, WV, located within a 20-25 minute drive from the house have numerous attractions, including restaurants, breweries, ice cream shops, music venues, art galleries, antique stores, and more.
We love this area and enjoy being here year-round. Whether it is snow-tubing in winter, hiking in spring, playing in the water in summer, or enjoying the fall foliage in fall, there are plenty of things to do and see here!
This is truly a special place and we hope that you find it to be as wild and wonderful as we do. In fact, we think it's 'almost heaven.'

This is our third stay and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The Lake House on Mount Storm is comfortable and it's super easy - arrival, location, items provided, and checkout. We've enjoyed every stay and will likely be back again soon!

Awesome place, the snow was great!
6 / 10Average·Feb 2026
The host did a fantastic job of initial communication, providing us with timely answers and giving us complete directions. The location was easy to find, and it was indeed a gorgeous location on the lake. It would be a great summer spot! However, inside does require some upkeep. The downstairs TV had a speaker that was hanging by a cord and the remote did not work at all. We were afraid to touch it because it was setup so precariously. The blender that was advertised was literally from the 80s and the base didn't lock so we had to hold it down. The dishwasher was nearly non-functional for anything other than the smallest of plates; the plates provided didn't fit! There were also a few cleanliness items, including some serious dust buildup in the bedrooms on the nightstands, but more importantly was the rodent issue. Understandable that there are mice in the house, it is the woods and it is the winter. But PLEASE check the drawers and under the cupboards. There were mouse droppings in several locations and the oven mitts were being used for a nest somewhere (since they were eaten up). Finally, and arguably the most frustrating, was the fact that the lock / deadbolt to the house didn't work. It would be one thing if the house was in the middle of nowhere and there was no one around us, but we were in a neighborhood. And they didn't fix it, even when shown that it didn't work. My wife felt unsafe. For me, that was a deal-breaker. I would not recommend this place to others.
