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.
Just what I needed! A quiet vacation with beautiful views and everything clean and new! Will book again!

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.

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.
