About Jody Thomas
I am the VP of Communications for the Better Business Bureau of Greater Maryland and Larry is a retired firefighter and government administrator. We have two grown children and one granddaughter who loves to ski. Larry and I have come to love Snowshoe, along with an occassional glass of wine or Johnnie Walker Black and time with friends and family. We also have a small oceanfront condo in Ocean City, MD that is perfect for beach-lovers.
Jody Thomas purchased this house in 2004
Why Jody Thomas chose Snowshoe
Accompanied by our realtor in search of the perfect mountain getaway, we pulled up to this new cedar home tucked back into the woods. Lying under the balcony was an eight-point buck - it was a sign. We loved the home's three-story interior that allowed plenty of room for large family gatherings. We drew up the contract and 'The Perfect Escape' was born.
Since then, we have become friends with the home's builder from whom we purchased the property, Jerry Holder, and his family. He still says we stole it (though usually with a smile).
What makes this house unique
There's not enough we can say about the laid-back lifestyle in Snowshoe and especially at The Perfect Escape. Being in the woods in the nearest development to the resort and not in the thick of 'the mountain,' was the best (and least expected) benefit of a visit to The Perfect Escape. Enjoying the deck and hot tub without the noise of neighbors and the buzz of cell phones is awesome. But since we couldn't live without social media and email, the wireless Internet is good for smartphone addicts and workaholics (myself included).
The faint of heart appreciate our easy approach, there are none of those dips and curves that make you feel you are about to fall off the mountain. But the snow piles up fast, so you still need four-wheel drive to get around in Snowshoe - you have been warned.

The Perfect Escape, Round II
This was our second time at The Perfect Escape, and we could not have asked for anything more perfect. Larry and Jody are a pleasure to work with through the reservation process - they respond to questions quickly and provide great information for your stay.
The cabin is the quintessential mountain getaway home for a week or a long weekend- and offers plenty of room for all of your guests. We had 10 in our group this year and everyone loved how they had their own space to retire in at the end of a day on the slopes. It is a short drive up the mountain to get to Snowshoe's ameneties, but you could walk to the stores along Route 66 if you wanted to (we actually did walk to breakfast on Friday morning). The town of Slaty Fork has everything that you would need for a ski weekend - rentals, a restaurant, gas, groceries - it's the perfect pit stop on the way in to the cabin.
The Cabin is wonderful - we especially enjoyed the ping pong table, the fireplace, and the hot tub - which is a must do immediately coming off of the slopes.
The Perfect Escape is exactly that - the Perfect Escape. It is great for large groups, or a couple of families with kids. And is also perfect for Ski Weekends or golf or fly fishing weekends. It truly is Perfect!
Great house, responsive owners
The Perfect Escape exceeded our expectations when we stayed there earlier this month. It's a great spot for a larger group that wants to be close to the slopes without being on top of everyone else in the village. The house was clean, comfortable and everything was in fine working order.
The owners of the house were also very responsive leading up to and during our stay, which is always important. We received heavy snow the night before we checked out and both Jody and her husband quickly contacted people in the nearby town to come plow the long driveway so our group could get out.
Beautiful home close to Snowshoe
We stayed in this beautiful home close to Snowshoe for our ski trip. It was outstanding in every way , close to Snowshoe mountain , wonderful restaurants recommended by the owners and in a peaceful mountain setting. I highly recommend it.
Not at all worth the additional charge for holiday rates
House was nice but was left dirty when we arrived. There were oyster shells and trash all over the deck. We called several times before our stay to confirm a few things and no one ever called us back. The hot tub had a brown ring around the water line so it was unusable. One of the bunk beds was unusable because the top frame was detached from the bottom frame so the kids had to double up. Did we have fun skiing? Yes. But the house was not worth the money we paid and would not recommend renting this house to anyone based on the condition we found it upon arrival.
Wonderful Perfect Escape
My company outing was to go and ride the train in Cass WV. We picked the perfect escape because of a beautiful house, amenities and convenient to Cass. We had plenty of space, there were 11 of us and mostly everything we needed. The house was clean and had everything the write said it would. Could have used a few more towels but it worked.We are from Columbus, OH and we could not get the OSU football game on and some of our group were disappointed . C'est la vie! haha. I recommend this house highly to anyone who is going to this area. It is very quiet , peaceful and roomy.
Beautiful house for large group!
The house was lovely and perfect for our large group ski trip! There is a ton of space, we never felt crowded with the large living room and great long kitchen table.
