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 West Virginia
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!
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.
It was beautiful
A great ski area, close to the slopes and great for entertaining!
Great house really close to the resort
Property was perfect for skiing at Snow Shoe. It was close, easy to access, spacious, and worked perfect for us.
Such a lovely home
So great! A short drive from the top of the mountain. Definitely want 4 wheel drive to get to the top to ski. House is comfy and there is plenty of room for card games and such by the fireplace! Loved it!
Dirty house, old kitchen uterus and dead mice
There we 9 of us. We found a few dead mice on the ground floor as soon as we got into house. The house was not deep cleaned for a while. Visible dust on and under furniture, mess in kitchen cabinets. The kitchen uterus were not updated for a few seasons. We had an issue with water and could not get the owners on the phone to address the issue. After numerous phone calls, voice mail and text through VRBO, the owners still did not get back with us. Their maintenance guy called us back only next day. There are two rooms on the second floor, one room on the first and two rooms in basement. The basement rooms are extrimely cold and have no windows. Parking is limited. There are only space for 3 cars to park and turn around to be able to exit to the road. Wi-fi service was breaking up all the time.
