Snowshoe

"I have nothing but great things to say about this Leatherback condo and the owner, Tandy. The condo itself looks better than the pictures - perfectly cozy, spacious and equipped with everything you need for a great ski vacation. The windows in the living room look out onto a snowy clearing where deer regularly hang out. While you can't ski in/ ski out, the slopes are a short 5-7 min walk away and like others have said, there's a shuttle stop right near the complex. Parking is also no problem. We loved the gas fireplace and the floor vents were perfectly placed to dry our ski boot liners! Also, Tandy is a wonderful owner. She was so quick to respond to any and all of my emails and communicate fully about my stay. I went with a group of 6 young professionals and we had a blast. I even left some boots in the Master closet and they're being shipped back to me as I write this. Now that's customer service! Tandy accepts Paypal and you have 2 options: payment between friends/family (no fee) or payment by credit card and with Paypal protection (small fee). Since I paid with a credit card, I chose the small fee option and made sure to include the fee in my cost, not hers, and everything was great. I can't recommend this condo and its owner enough. Will definitely book again next year!"

"My friends and spent a fantastic weekend at this condo & the pictures really don't do it justice. It's very cute and much larger than it looks. The prices are reasonable, the cleaning crew does a great job, and the owner was very responsive. There appears to be a family of deer that live in the woods behind the condo, so they made several stops by to say hi (they love apples, but if it's happy hour they are ok with some Tostito's). The back porch is the size of a small bedroom by itself that I can see being used in the summer months for grilling and watching the sun set over the mountains (perfect unobstructed view!). Fast wifi, a great sound system that you can plug your music into, TV's in every room, plenty of glasses/plates and a lovely fire place were some of my favorite features. If I had to make a complaint, it would be that the microwave took three of us about 15 minutes to figure out. But that's no fault on the condo. I'll admit, the exorcist stairs do suck, but once you get up them you are right there at village central near the slopes, restaurants and bars. Sure you can take a bus, but you can walk just as easily. This condo is much nicer than the rooms at Mountain Lodge, Rim Fire, or Snowcrest where I've stayed before. If you can just get past those stairs, stay here and enjoy your Snowshoe vacation."
