[...] Ilam House is a new, contemporary, and very comfortable house for a skiing vacation for groups of up to twelve. The house is adjacent to the Monongahela National Forest for cross-country skiers who want to strike out on their own (see above picture!). The house is also about five miles from Whitegrass Cross Country ski center – one of our favorite places on the planet, and also Timberline downhill skiing, and Canaan Valley downhill skiing. And the house is just 3 miles from the small town of Davis, with a few very friendly and tasty restaurants. Read more about these and other area favorites. [...]
