Character, not a chain

A real place. Run by real people.

The Inn at Canaan isn’t a big-box resort and we don’t want to be. It’s a small, locally rooted stay with honest rooms, honest food, and a firepit that knows what to do with a batch of smores and good stories.

Come for the mountains. Stay because the place makes you feel like you can breathe again.

You’ll want to plan for at least two full days — one weekend is barely enough to scratch the surface.

The signature 57-foot waterfall, plus 20+ miles of trails along the Blackwater River gorge.
