Really cozy ski chalet property right next to the slopes in Snowshoe West Virginia. The property is as advertised but a little nicer than the pictures show. The amenities really make the your stay like home. Two beautiful fireplaces with plenty of wood, a grill, fully loaded kitchens and a shuttle bus to take you everywhere you need to go. The property is far enough away from other places you feel like you are alone in the woods. The house is also right next to a black run on the mountain. So you can ski right up to the house. Phil the host is really easy to work with and was really willing to help ensure we had everything we needed. Make sure you grab groceries in Petersburg as there is nothing around Snowshoe.

The views are amazing,. The town/village atmosphere is picture perfect. There isn’t much to do but ski, so If your looking to spend your time on the slopes, this is the place.

Location, location, location! I should preface this review by saying that we are seasoned Snowshoe visitors, having stayed at properties in a variety of places on the mountain. However we are summer only visitors as our interest is in the mountain biking opportunities, and world cup races. So I cannot comment on anything snow related, however for a summer visit, particularly for mountain bikers, the location of his property is absolutely perfect. I’m not sure there are any other homes that offer the space or convenience of this one. There is ample covered outdoor space for bicycles on the bottom porch, and on the upper floor rear deck, the top floor living space is perfect for large groups. We had five couples and two children and were all able to eat and socialize comfortably. The upper floor kitchen has been recently updated, and it is very convenient having two kitchens when preparing food for a large group. The shuttle comes within about 10 minutes of calling for it, and we never had to wait more than five or 10 minutes in the village to get the shuttle back, for those in our party who did not want to hike up the 1/4 mile to the village. The house does have some of the usual wear and tear that should be expected with a rental property in a harsh climate, but the location and value for money far outweigh any minor cosmetic issues.

Smelly rooms, old and damaged living room furniture. Bedroom beds can be better. Price paid so not justify condition of the property. Location is excellent.

Its a beautiful location. I was really appreciative that the homeowner was so accessible to us. From a service standpoint, he was awesome. Although the size of the home was "as advertised", it may have made a difference in our choice of home if we knew that it was necessary to leave the house to go from upstairs to downstairs. This property is really a duplex. The second thing to note is that there is no air conditioning in the upstairs. Thats also where you'd spend most of your time. This wouldn't be an issue most months, but proved to be in summer. We had to leave doors and windows open. This was not ideal because with no screens on doors it windows we had all kinds of flying insects inside. Especially at night when the lights were on. The house was clean, but spider webs were present upon arrival. It appeared that the home had not had guests for a while. Sheets and towels were provided and clean. We did have to clean both grills before using. The showers were great. Plenty of pressure and very hot. Overall, the house grew on us.

Great property with lots of space and plenty of beds. Only concern is that the stairs to get from the first floor to the second floor is outdoors, which can be a problem if you have small children. This was not listed on the online profile and came to us as a surprise. Location is fantastic with on-call shuttle service to take you around the mountain. Would stay again.

Great Location!

We had a fantastic time at the chalet, including several inches of snow on Christmas. Location was convenient; shuttle was fast and efficient. One of the family lost a work cellphone on a shuttle; it was found and returned to the chalet immediately. In 25 years of family trips, this was a favorite. The owner was the most responsive of any place we have ever rented. Oh yes, the view was breathtaking!

We arrived at dark. It was raining and foggy. The property address was not marked. There was no phone or internet service. We were unable to contact anyone who could help us to find the place. By God’s good grace, two men (angels) helped us to find the house. Once we got into the property we had great accommodations. Beautiful view and internet.

First off this house DOES have a very nice location. Right off of the Western Territory trails and not far from the village. Views are great (when not socked in with clouds), and set back far enough that things are not too busy. We had a good time, were comfortable in the living space and TVs worked fine for evening movie watching, etc. But many features of this property are old, worn or just plain broken. I have stayed in a few other condos at Snowshoe and so far this is typical. I don't know if there are not any "nice" places up there but compared to what you get out West I have not found them... Some details: - It is never mentioned in the listing but this is really two "condo units" in one building that are completely separate with only an OUTSIDE stairway between them. This is not a huge deal but when it is raining or snowing going outside (possibly in the dark with almost no lighting on the stairs) to visit with your friends/family on another floor is less than ideal. - The upstairs kitchen is in great shape, very newly renovated and quite nice, although not really big enough for the total number of people that the building can sleep. The downstairs kitchen is in bad need of a renovation with a very old stove, counters, etc. and older fridge. - There are multiple things that need maintenance, doors without latches (handles but no latch at all), many windows with open/close crank mechanisms totally missing, old bathroom fixtures, etc. We had a fine stay and enjoyed ourselves but don't expect top notch accommodations here...

Very nice property. Pictures posted by owner don't do it justice. Owner has thought of everything, all the little things. It was decorated for Christmas. There were plenty starter logs for the fireplace as well as the lighter, brochures for the resort, propane and charcoal grills, extra garbage bags etc etc. All the little things that sometimes you forget to bring along... 2nd floor livingroom with its high ceilings is definitely more spacious and it quickly became our main gathering/hangout spot. Can't wait to visit again.
