Host was quick to respond to any issues. It was very quiet and staff was nice. Room had a few issues, tub wouldn't stop so couldn't bathe the baby. Previous guest let toiletries and medication in a draw of thw vanity. A hazard for a child. Host apologized. First time a host asked that you take any used garbage bags out and placed in an outside bin.

About the host

Hosted by Stacey Latus

Host profile image
I have been proud to work in the hospitality industry since 2005, gaining nearly two decades of experience in creating welcoming, memorable stays for guests. Over the years, I have developed a strong commitment to excellence, with a focus on maintaining properties that are clean, thoughtfully updated, and designed with comfort in mind.

Each of my listings is carefully curated to provide a relaxing and enjoyable environment. I place great emphasis on attention to detail—whether that means ensuring the space is fully equipped with modern amenities, keeping interiors fresh and stylish through regular updates, or anticipating the little touches that make a guest feel at home.

I take pride in the locations of my listings, which I personally love and enjoy sharing with others. My goal is always to provide guests with everything they need to unwind, explore, and make the most of their time. From the initial booking to the moment of check-out, I strive to offer a smooth, stress-free experience that reflects both professionalism and genuine care.

Why they chose this property

I absolutely love Vernon! Nestled in the scenic heart of Sussex County, Vernon is a four-season playground surrounded by rolling mountains, lush forests, and outdoor adventure. Whether you're here to hike the iconic Appalachian Trail, hit the slopes at Mountain Creek, or unwind with a glass of wine at a local vineyard, Vernon offers the perfect mix of excitement and relaxation.

Our neighborhood is just steps from Mountain Creek Resort, where you can enjoy skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, and a thrilling waterpark—depending on the season! Love nature? You'll find endless hiking and biking trails, breathtaking lookout points, and peaceful lakes nearby.

Just a short drive away, explore the charming town of Warwick, NY, filled with boutique shops, cozy cafés, cideries, and orchards (hello, apple picking and cider donuts!). In the fall, the foliage is spectacular; in summer, the festivals come alive. Even family favorites like LegoLand are only 30 minutes away.

All this just one hour from NYC, but a world away in peace and beauty. Whether you're seeking adventure, a romantic getaway, or quality time with family, our neighborhood in Vernon is a hidden gem waiting to be explored.

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.
