Frequently Asked Questions

Booking

Start on our availability page. MountainTop Realty provides the authoritative live calendar, current rates, instant quotes, and direct online booking. You can also book through Airbnb or Vrbo.

Booking

Check-in is after 4:00 p.m., check-out is by 10:30 a.m., and the minimum booking age is 25. Review MountainTop Realty's current rental terms before booking because policies can change.

Sleeping arrangements

Trail Magic Chalet sleeps up to 10 guests in four bedrooms across separate upstairs and downstairs sleeping areas. The layout includes two queen beds, one full bed, bunk beds, two twin beds, and a twin trundle.

Accommodations

The chalet has two full bathrooms and one half bathroom. The renovated downstairs master bathroom includes an all-glass walk-in shower.

Hot tub

The covered hot tub seats six and overlooks the valley.

Fire safety

No. Trail Magic Chalet does not have a fire pit. Because the property is immediately adjacent to the Monongahela National Forest, open fires, fireworks, and similar fire hazards are strictly prohibited throughout the development. Violations are subject to strict fines. Review the Monongahela National Forest maps and guides before exploring the area.

Smoking

Trail Magic Chalet is a non-smoking house. Smoking is permitted only outdoors. Please dispose of cigarette butts properly and do not litter them.

Internet

Whole-house WiFi provides about 800 Mbps download and 25 Mbps upload speeds.

EV charging

Trail Magic Chalet does not have an EV charger onsite. There is only a 110V outlet in the mudroom, about 20 feet from the driveway. Bringing a long extension cord allows for slow charging if needed. Otherwise, public chargers are available nearby, including at Canaan Valley State Park.

Kitchen

Yes. The kitchen includes coordinated cookware, dinnerware, glassware, serving pieces, prep tools, small appliances, coffee makers, and place settings for 16. Bring the groceries and coffee your group prefers.

Pets

Dogs are welcome for a $65 fee plus tax per dog. An optional large crate, dog bowls, dog towels, and treats are provided. Dogs are the only pets allowed.

Location

Trail Magic Chalet is at 57 Mountain Laurel Lane in Davis, West Virginia. It is a convenient home base for Timberline Mountain, Canaan Valley Resort, Blackwater Falls State Park, Dolly Sods, Davis, and Thomas.

Parking & access

The driveway accommodates two large or three small vehicles. Marked overflow parking is outside the neighborhood gate. The neighborhood is gated, and MountainTop Realty provides the gate code with check-in information. Review the detailed parking map and neighborhood access rules before arrival.

Winter access

Four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive is required in winter conditions. All-season tires alone are insufficient; winter tires and chains are highly advised because snow and ice can make the mountain roads hazardous.

Exterior cameras

Your privacy is a top priority for us. There are two exterior cameras: one by the front door facing the parking space for security, and one on the grill deck facing the valley to help us keep track of weather conditions. There are no cameras or listening devices inside the house, near the hot tub, or any other private guest areas.

Likewise, you can read Airbnb's camera and recording-device policy and the surveillance-device guidance on Vrbo's Trust & Safety page. Both platforms require exterior cameras to be disclosed in the listing and prohibit cameras that monitor the home's interior.

Temperature & humidity

The small white Govee devices you may see hanging around the house are only temperature and humidity sensors. Mountain weather is often harsh, especially in the winter. Power outages and leaks can occur. These devices are for the monitoring and the protection of the house only. They do not record sound or images, detect people, or track guest activity.

Internet privacy

We do not monitor your internet usage. We do use family-friendly internet filters, with reasonable protections similar to those you might use at home. We have children, too, and want families to feel comfortable and safe in our home. Filters cannot guarantee online safety or block every unsuitable site. We respectfully encourage parents and caregivers to guide and supervise children's internet use.

Website privacy

Your privacy matters to our family online, too. We use website analytics to understand which pages are helpful, not to identify you. Read our website privacy page for details about analytics, cookies, and your browser privacy choices.
