From the Guest Book: This was our first vacation in the mountains. We had mixed sunshine, fog and some rain. It's all good and some things take a little time to get to them, but the ride is very scenic so it doesn't really matter. We went to the Green Bank Observatory(Get an soft ice cream here and a ham wrap, they're the best), the Cass Train ride, Seneca Caverns, Chair lift ride to the lake, horesback riding, paintballing in the backyard maze.

From the Guest Book: We had a mix of beautiful sun, torrential rain and clouds. We went to the water chutes at Whittaker Falls, bungee jumping for the kids at Snowshoe, sat on the beach at Snowshoe lake. We set up an obstacle course in the yard and also collected frogs for our one and only "Frog Olympics" We visited the Green Bank observatory and took the teenagers over to show clay pigeons. All in all, Whittaker Falls on the Elk River was the best !!

From the Guest Book: We came for the week in 2 cars and 1 plane. The weather was mild in the upper 70's mostly and one day of non-stop rain. We read, played games, watched movies, sat out by the fire, hiked, canoed, napped outside. We went to Pioneer Days in Marlinton and rode the Cass Train. We had a big outdoor scavenger hunt. We loved the Elk River Restaurant, lighting fireworks, canoeing at Snowshoe and making S'mores !!

From the guest book: We came for a weekend get together and played games, hiked, shopped, socialized and celebrated two birthdays. We made a great big bon fire. We saw a black bear cub(never saw mama), mama deer and her baby, hummingbird and numberous birds. We enjoyed birthday gag gifts, water ballon fights, sun setting, moon rising, fire pit, chilling and spending time with close friends.

From the guest book: The weather was in the 60's and we saw a complete Rainbow from one end to the other. We baked cookies, watched movies and sat in the hot tub. I loved eating at Mean Jean's on the way here.

From the guest book: This was a family reunion and relaxation for Mom's birthday. We had a day and 1/2 of rain, 70 degrees and sunny the rest of the time. We ate, played ping pong, pool, hot tub.(the kids loved it) We golfed (6 man scramble at the country club) Pretty wide open with many lost balls. Home run derby and birthday party. We took a day trip to the waterfalls. 8 cows showed up in the driveway one day. We enjoted the Falls of Hills creek, Cranberry Nature Center, Cass Railroad and the Raven's Golf Country Club. What a great family picture we have now !!!

We came to ski and have fun. We had big trucks, 2 SUV's and one car. There was 33" of snow when we arrived and at least 8 more inches fell while we were here. We watched DVD's, tried to make a snow angel, but the snow was too deep, relaxed in the hot tub, played lots of pool and ping pong. Slept a little and played a lot. We went 4 wheeling by accident, do do that, it's hard to get out. We took a wrong turn out of the driveway, make sure you turn right out of the driveway.

From the Guest book: Ski-Annual trip. Played Cranium, cards, ping pong, pool and partied. We all drove in 4 wheel drives. It snowed 2 of the 4 days we were here and it was very windy at night. We made a fire outside for the smokers and warmed ourselves in the hot tub. The dark beer made by Budweiser but is like Guiness at Misty's at Silver Creek. Mud pies at the store at 219/66. Our favorite meal was 2 fry baskets at the Top of the World Condo while still in ski gear. A special highlight was the crazy guy who jumped from the lift at closing to get one last run in.
