Welcome to our beautifully renovated, spacious condo at Snowshoe Mountain Resort in Snowshoe, WV. Whether you're looking for a wild winter adventure or a relaxing summer retreat, you've come to the right place!
THE CONDO’S LOCATION & AMENITIES
This Leatherbark unit is a single story, 1200 sq. ft., 2 bedroom plus den, 2 full bath condo, located atop Snowshoe Mountain, only two blocks from the Snowshoe Village. It is conveniently located on the Snowshoe Shuttle route, is right across the street from Wildcat Provisions (a grocery store), within walking distance to numerous slopes and hiking trails, and one block from Split Rock Pools. The Leatherbark complex also offers plenty of parking with its own private lot.
Once inside, the condo offers all of the luxuries of home. The first thing you'll notice are the stunning hickory floors, which flow largely throughout, and the spacious, open concept living room, which boasts a 46-inch flat screen TV above the fireplace, leather couch and loveseat, and large "lovesac" (foam beanbag) that both the kids and adults will enjoy. You'll also love the full kitchen, which includes new stainless steel appliances, plenty of storage, cookware and utensils, and eye-catching slate tile. The master suite boasts gorgeous hickory floors, a king bed, 30-inch flat panel TV, and fully renovated ceramic tile bathroom with pedestal sink and large stand-up shower. The second bedroom also offers hickory floors, a queen bed with brand new leather headboard and a 20-inch flat panel TV. For your convenience, both bedrooms include new ceiling fans, iHome alarm clocks, and plenty of closet and drawer space. Right next to the second bedroom, the fully renovated guest bath contains a pedestal sink, ceramic tile throughout, and an absolutely huge stand-up shower. In the den, you'll find a comfortable, queen-sized futon (and, yes, you easily can see the large TV from this spot!), and a full size washer and dryer closet.
Off the den, the condo has a nice-sized deck, with a gas BBQ grill, and backs to a large yard, where the family can enjoy the plethora of wildlife that lives atop Snowshoe Mountain. The condo also offers high speed wireless internet access and free long distance.
When renting with us, you also will be eligible for a 10% discount on all equipment rentals through Ski Barn (located at the base of the mountain) and Snowcreek Mountain Sports (located at the top of the mountain at the entrance to Silver Creek). With 10 days notice, we also can provide you with discounted daily lift tickets.
WINTER ACTIVITIES AT SNOWSHOE
Step outside the condo and enjoy the winter wonderland of Snowshoe! Snowshoe offers the best terrain, snow, amenities, and après ski activities in all of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with as much as 180” of natural snow each year and 100% snowmaking capabilities on 275 acres of terrain.
The mountain offers 57 trails ranging from beginner to expert, 2 expert trails with 1500’ vertical drop, night skiing on 14 trails at the Silver Creek ski area, 2 high-speed detachable quad lifts, 2 fixed quad lifts, and 7 triple lifts.
For more family fun, check out the Ruckus Ridge Adventure Park, Split Rock Pools, and the Big Top, which offers a huge variety of indoor games for kids and adults alike. For snowboarders and free skiers, 3 awesome terrain parks offer everything from a 450 foot half pipe to monster tabletops, rails and other features.
Snowshoe also offers snowmobiling, enclosed Snowcat tours, romantic horse-drawn carriage rides, cross-country skiing, and real wilderness experiences 4 miles into the forest at the Sunrise Backcountry Hut. Snowshoe also boasts great nightlife, with a variety of restaurants and nightclubs to suit all ages and tastes!
SUMMER ACTIVITIES AT SNOWSHOE AND SURROUNDING AREAS
Summertime at Snowshoe Mountain is truly a hidden gem. While the rest of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic suffers through oppressive heat and humidity, summer day temperatures at Snowshoe hover between 70 and 80 with subtle breezes and seemingly very little humidity.
From Memorial Day to Labor Day, the Snowshoe Village, including the shops, restaurants and bars, all stay open to offer a fun, yet relaxing getaway. For the adventure seekers, Snowshoe boasts some of the best mountain biking in the entire country, for both beginners and experts alike. Each weekend, ride your bike down the mountain and take the shuttle or a ski lift back up.
You can also take the lift down to Shavers Lake and enjoy the highest “beach” in WV. At the lake, you can rent paddle boats, play horseshoes, kick back in a hammock, have some food and drinks at the Boathouse, or take a hike around the lake. The kids can also enjoy the water at Split Rock Pools, which has a popular “dumping barrel” that the little ones are sure to love.
Other summer activities include golf at the breathtaking Raven Golf Course, located at the bottom of Snowshoe Mountain. Consistently rated as the best public course in WV, the Raven offers a challenging, yet serene, course for very reasonable rates. The resort also offers off-road dune buggy tours, geocache hunts, sporting clays, and, for the kids, eurobungy and a climbing wall.
In short, whether visiting in winter or summer, you're sure to find plenty of fun and relaxation at Snowshoe!
