The property was as described- beautiful & clean. Owner was a pleasure and was easy to communicate with. Look forward to our next visit here. Thank you for a great mini vacation.
Quick family getaway and we were not disappointed. Excellent communication from Stacey through the whole process and the cleanliness of the property really stood out. Proximity to the mountain couldn’t have been better and we would definitely stay here again.
I can not wait to visit again! Stacey was so attentive and made us so comfortable! The condo exceeded our expectations! Everything you need is there. It’s a beautiful condo!
This was the perfect place for a few friends to stay for a wedding weekend. It was very clean, tasteful, and well appointed. Stacey was extremely responsive and accommodating. Can’t wait to come back in the winter!

What makes this property unique
The Appalachian stands out as a true four-season destination, offering the rare convenience of ski-in/ski-out access right at Mountain Creek. Our condo is uniquely positioned—not directly on the pool or main slope side, but instead facing Vernon Valley, where guests are treated to sweeping views and breathtaking sunsets each evening. From the comfort of your private balcony, you can watch the sky transform over the valley, making it a perfect spot to unwind after a day of adventure. This combination of direct mountain access and serene valley views makes our home a one-of-a-kind retreat.
