Perfect Location

House was clean and comfortable. E-biking the Blackwater Canyon Trail to Hendricks and back was wonderful, the trail is feet from the house. Nearby Douglas Falls is great. Blackwater Falls State Park is just a few miles away. So many other outdoor activities nearby. We picked this destination because my wife began researching her genealogy a few years ago and found that her mother’s family was deeply embedded in the history of Tucker County. She found a story at the library about an ancestor of hers who was lost for five days crossing Backbone Mountain from Sugar Lands to Thomas. This is the national forest area that is adjacent to Westwood (you can see the wind turbines on backbone mountain from the house). If we return, we’d definitely stay here again.

Perfect getaway

This space was the absolute perfect place for our family to get away to and unwind. The location is peaceful and easy to find - and so conveniently located to the shops in Thomas. Having a space that also thoughtfully considers what’s necessary to be “dog friendly” was another huge perk.We absolutely will be back!

Perfect weekend getaway!

The property is close to major attractions but away from town. It's the last house on a dead-end street with only one other home. Note: the neighbors have two off-leash labs that came to the property daily. Be mindful if your dog is also off-leash. I was not concerned they would bite or attack, but they barked a lot when out. It was quiet (when neighbor dogs weren't out) and secluded. The place was nicer than the pictures. The kitchen was stocked (just bring cooking oil or butter). I would stay here again if I were visiting. Bring tissues and soap/toiletries.

Awesome location. Close to town. Yet a nice country view. Place was very clean and on par with what we expected. The only issue is the steps and deck weren't shoveled. Other than that I would highly recommend staying here. A wonderful place!

Beware!!! Impassable road in snowy conditions

#1 - Nowhere in property description did owner mention the virtual inaccessibility of this property in wintry conditions. Four wheel drive vehicle is the only way to reach the house given the steep winding road. As a result, most of our single free day in the area involved finding a tow truck to wench out of deep snow one of our vehicles. Owner’s negligence further manifested in treacherous snow covered stairs leading to property. At least, they had a flimsy plastic snow shovel available which was used to clear the compacted snow and ice while we awaited the tow truck. (Would have preferred hiking in nearby state parks, but oh well.) #2 - Despite their obligatory $100 cleaning fee, this house was the dirtiest property experienced across decades of renting through VRBO: moldy showers, dust covered heating vents, dust clinging to walls, filthy oven, etc.

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.

The property was outstanding. So beautiful. There was an apple tree which was a big hit with the Deer. A very cute town with some shopping and a few places for dinner. The house was old and needs some updates however very clean and well stocked.

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.

An Idyllic Retreat

This house is charming, well spaced and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. If you look for peace and quiet- yet close to all main state parks trails and attractions - this is it. The nearby little towns of Thomas and Davis were a pleasant surprise with so many good cafes, restaurants, farmers market and gift shops. We had a wonderful time and recharged.

Nice Secluded Property

The property is functional and well maintained for an older cabin (all idiosyncrasies were to be expected). The lack of AC is normally a non-issue for the Davis area, we just happened to visit during a heat dome event, making the afternoons a little hot on the 2nd floor. The eclectic CD collection and vintage Bose stereo added to the experience. The hike down old dirt road into the national forest is easy to follow and not difficult. Would recommend for couples and families with children.

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.
