Vacation Rentals by Owner

What a wonderful rental

We were looking for a late ski-season rental so our boys could get some last-minute snowboarding in. After looking at many rentals through various outlets, we found this cozy gem on VRBO. After talking with the owner, she gave us a great deal and we were off. The unit is extremely well laid out and very roomy with 2 bdrms and 2 baths and PLENTY of storage for a vacationer. The beds were comfortable (a BIG plus for people with bad backs, like me). The kitchen is outfitted with everything you could ever need and more, with very modern and up-to-date appliances. The equipment room is great with plenty of hooks to hold your gear and let you get stuff dried out; and if that doesn't work, the dryer is 2 doors down the hall. The view is outstanding from the top of the mountain. We only had one minor problem at "check-in", but we called the owner and she IMMEDIATELY got everything squared away. She is very helpful and easy to work with. We will definitely be renting from her again!

Comfortable, clean condo conveniently located near hot tubs and walking distance to slopes! Loved the fireplace and touches such as hot beverages, luggage racks, and a crock pot. There was plenty of space for our group to relax, cook dinner, play games, and enjoy the fire. Can't wait for another ski adventure!

This cabin is great to stay in. We loved the short walk to the Soaring Eagle lift which let us get skiing bright and early without having to wait for a bus. The condo's location on the first floor is great since you don't have to deal with stairs or an elevator when carrying your equipment. It is also just steps from the front door to the hot tub, which was great to sooth tired muscles. The condo had everything we needed. We cooked dinner both nights, and had no trouble finding just the right pot or pan. The weather didn't behave the first day we were in Snowshoe (rainy) but we were able to go tubing and enjoy some extra hot tub time, which made the weekend very relaxing! The skiing was excellent the second day, and we had a great time!

Our family of 4 made a last minute decision to spend a few days over springbreak skiing. We found the rental property on the internet and called to inquire. The owners were so nice and helpful! On arrival to the rental property, we found the accommodations just as described. The property was clean and well-maintained, and we had everything we needed for our stay. The location of the rental property was convenient and just a short distance from shops and ski rentals. We highly recommend this property to others- for any time of the year! We will hopefully be back in the near future!

we had 6 in the unit and enjoyed our stay. althought the weather was somewhat poor, rain the first day, we enjoyed the condo and complex. the kids could walk down a short hill to the chair lifts or catch the bus to Silver Creek. The unit being on the first floor was a plus and so was the mud room for the ski storage

The apartment is clean and well furnished. We had an enjoyable stay and would look forward to returning in the future. Although not ski in/ski out, Snowcrest is a short walk, drive, or shuttle ride to the lift.

This condo and its owners are top notch. It was very comfortable and everything was as advertised. The owner was great at keeping in touch and answered all of our questions promptly. It is very close to the Soaring Eagle lift. I would recommend this rental.

This was our 10th year returning to Snowshoe for the ski season. We usually stay at the mountain lodge because as a military family we use to get a discount on our condo and free lift tickets if you stayed Monday-Friday excluding holidays. The resort as a whole has seemed to do away with that special. When I called and checked the rates this year it seemed ridiculous...so with that being said we decided to try something different and rent through VRBO. Kim the owner was very helpful and pleasant to work with. She offered us a millitary discount and she was not stringent on check in check out times. There were no lines to wait in at the main lodge to checkin we just went straight to the condo. Because Snowcrest was not directly on the slopes (ski/ski out) I was a little concerned with not having that convenience but the shuttle comes directly to the front door of the condo, picks you up skis and all and drops you right off in front of the Soaring Eagle ski lift. This takes all of 2 minutes....and the shuttle shows up every 10 minutes. We just had an amazing stay...stayed in and cooked. Crock pot, blender...all the appliances that you will ever need. There were plenty of blankets, towels....we did not want for anything. They had salt/pepper, condiments, paper towels the condo was fully stocked. The view from the deck was amazing (if it wasn't snowing)....This was our best trip ever...the Mountain Lodge is always so noisy with kids running all over and house cleaning in and out...the Snowcrest was quite and peaceful and I actually got to sleep in.....WE WILL BE BACK!!! We have found our new favorite place to stay....and for those of you who are military you can get lift tickets for 50% off Sunday-Friday just as long as it's not a holiday....all other days it's 15% off. Must show a valid military ID.

Owner response:Thanks for your response. We try to make it as much like 'home' as we can. We are also glad to help support those who protect US.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Reid's condo this winter. This is our second visit to the condo, and we plan to return again! We love the proximity to the hot tub (steps from the condo!) for relaxing after a long day of skiing, and it's an easy walk or bus ride to the slopes (Soaring Eagle lift). The first floor location is great since you don't have to lug your ski gear nearly as far. We never used our car after arriving - the buses were very convenient, both to get to the village and to get to night skiing. We loved the kitchen - new appliances and a crockpot allowed us to cook and have warm food ready at the end of the day. We will definitely be back again next year!

Great condo close to the top of the mountain. Literally steps away from the slopes and fewer steps away from the hot tub after a long day of skiing! The owners take good care of the place and make sure that the condo is well equipped for the vacationers. We had a great time and will definitely stay here on our next visit to Snowshoe.

We stayed in this unit for a long weekend vacation with friends. It was better accommodations than I could have asked for on a ski trip. It's nice to come back from skiing and build a real wood fire in the fireplace (firewood is provided) and/or visit the indoor hot tubs that are just across the hall from the unit. We really liked the gear closet by the entry, so we could store our skis as soon as we got in from the slopes. And of course being on the first floor is nice so you don't have to haul your equipment up stairs or in elevators. This was my first visit to Snowshoe. I found the skiing to be better than other resorts I've skied in WV. There is a good bus service around the resort, and there are so many restaurants, shops, bars, and entertainment options (comedy club, etc) that you won't need to drive anywhere during your stay. We parked our car by the unit after arriving, and didn't use it until we departed at the end of our stay. The view from the glassed-in porch is WAY better than pictures can show... another good thing about Snowshoe is that the resort is at the top of the mountain instead of at the base of the slopes, so the views are excellent. You won't be disappointed in this unit!

We recently stayed here with a group of 7 people and absolutely loved it. It's a charmingly cozy place and has a great view from the patio. The bedrooms were large and comfy. The facility was very well maintained, we especially enjoyed hanging out in the hot tub every night! Also the condo was very conveniently located near the ski area, you could literally walk out and start skiing within 5 mins!

Great property. Everything you would need for a condo is available in this unit. Condo has brand new fridge, microwave, and stove. Ski/Snowboard storage area is great for nighttime drying. Hottub is located right outside of the condo door and the laundry room is 2 doors down from condo. Unit is a short walk from the slopes. The snowshoe shuttle has a stop right outside of the building which is very convenient when visiting The Village. We had a great trip and would love to stay here again.

Used this room for a weekend ski trip with my friends. Was a ton of fun! The view was nice and the skiing was amazing! It was especially nice not to have to drive to the slopes - we just unpacked and took the bus each day. There is also a decent restaurant just down the hill (easy walking distant) if you feel like eating out. Also, every night we made a trip to the hot tubs which are a grand total of 10 steps from the condo door! And since the condo was on the first floor, we didn't have to drag our stuff up any steps. The only problem I have is that the heat was left on high before we got there & it took a while to cool off. I actually had to lay out on the hallway couch to get some rest.

Owner response:Glad you and your friends had a good time. We have done some more remodelling and replaced the heating systems. You should check out the new pics & we hope to see you next season!
