About this property

Better Rates! GREAT Location. Amazing Views! Environmentally Tuned! Amenities!

First: We ;use LED lighting wherever possible and manage heat when the condo is unoccupied to do what we can to reduce the environmental impact of our condo.

If you are thinking about the 23-24 winter ski/board season, read on!

How about our "STAY FOUR, GET ONE FREE" special!! Choose any 4 days, and we will (upon request) work with you to modify the booking BEFORE YOU PAY, so you only pay for 3 days (LOWEST COST DAY IS FREE! No Saturday check-in or check-out rule applies. May not be combined with 7 night stay discount. If you "instant book" before we redo the quote, we cannot refund the VRBO fees or taxes for the free day. Not applicable on Holiday bookings (days which include a recognized federal holiday) If you "instant book" before we redo the quote, WE CANNOT REFUND THE TAXES AND VRBO FEES FOR THE "FREE" DAY.

NOTICE: Holiday lodging at Snowshoe consistently sells out on the mountain. Book as early as possible if you hope to stay on the mountain over a holiday, and book your lift tickets

Snowshoe Mountain Resort is the best skiing south of northern New England, and is visited regularly by vacationers from Pennsylvania to Florida, and west to Indiana, Michigan and beyond. High in Pocahontas County (the highest county east of the Mississippi) the headwaters for 8 rivers can be found there. Very lush, green, and naturally cool in the summer, New England climate in the winter, this vacation-land is everything you'd expect when you think 'Wild and Wonderful.' Our lodgings at The Summit provide views to the west that are ever-changing and always spectacular, offering many photo ops.

Our lodgings are on the top floor, south-facing end of the building. This gives additional natural sunlight, and provides a quietness and privacy enhancement. This location is perfect for the spectacular views over the valley below and across the mountains as far as the eye can see. You will see hawks at eye level from this vantage point. Deer roam frequently on the property, and you can see them close-up from the sunset deck.

Location next to the Village and slopes make this a great choice for you and your family or friends. FREE shuttles provide transport throughout the resort, and a shuttle does pass right by the condo regularly throughout the day. Parking passes are provided for 2 vehicles. Motorhomes and campers are not permitted.

Internet is fiber and excellent. Large flat screen HD TV is wall mounted. You'll enjoy the deep green granite counters and new Boche dishwasher convenience. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking your favorite dishes. The coffee maker is Mr. Coffee type, and filters are provided.

The gas fireplace has an on/off switch for your convenience and enjoyment.

Your very own sauna has a powerful heater. It heats up fast and HOT. PLEASE, FOR SAFETY, NEVER LET CHILDREN BE ALONE IN SAUNA. STEAM SCALDS. Be very careful with water on the rocks. AND NEVER USE THE HIGHEST TEMP SETTING, AS THIS WOULD CREATE A FIRE HAZARD. Owner assumes no liability for injury caused by sauna use.

The sleeping arrangements include a bedroom with queen bed, another with a double bed, and the third with two twin beds. Plan accordingly. The sofa bed is off-limits due to frame damage.

Sheets, towels, washcloths and basic supplies (dish detergent, toilet paper, coffee filters and trash bags) are provided.

Ski season is always "just around the corner," and now is the perfect time to make your plans, block the dates on your own calendar, and make your accommodation reservations. Holidays book up early, so make your move now if you plan to be at Snowshoe during a holiday. Be aware that Snowshoe will fully book on holidays. Also realize that on holidays, the slopes will be crowded, and skiing more challenging, with longer lift lines. For this reason, consider a non-holiday stay, and the advantage of MUCH LOWER rates during the weekdays.

Pricing - Our pricing structure is based upon the assumption of full occupancy (6), and minimum stay intervals. We occasionally will offer some discounting for smaller groups, and longer stays. Still, if there are just two of you, you can probably save money by choosing a location that is smaller than our 3 bedroom condo. We have a great little studio place for couples at Silver Creek, for significant savings over this 3 bedroom, and the advantages of pool, hot tub, sauna, and workout room. This Summit place is really perfect for 6 guests, especially if there are two couples, or two pairs of people that don't mind sharing a bed. Remember: Queen bed, double bed, two twin beds in the bedrooms. If you have more than 6 guests in your party, please look for ANOTHER property. 6 adults can be comfortable, each with a bed, but if you have one or two small children, and can bring air mattresses and sleeping bags for them, we will add a small additional fee. Contact us before booking.

How about our "STAY SIX, GET ONE FREE" special!! Choose any 6 days, and we will (upon request) work with you to modify the booking, before you pay, so you only pay for 5 days! No Saturday check-in or check-out rule applies. May not be combined with 7 night stay discount. If you "instant book" before we redo the quote, we cannot refund the VRBO fees or taxes for the free day.

We have a CODE DOOR LOCK, so key hassle is unnecessary. You can book today, and arrive today (if condo preparation can be completed)!! We can return your security deposit as soon as housekeeping has given us the OK... We do need to work with housekeeping on short-notice bookings, even in the ski season.

We offer, through a partnership with Ski Barn, 10-15% off all equipment rentals at the Ski Barn (Rt. 219 - Slatyfork), and SnowCreek (At entrance to Silver Creek). For the best quality, and best-priced equipment rentals in the area, check out their offerings, and get the additional 10% discount with the coupon that we will forward to you after your final rental payment. See the Ski Barn link below for current mountain weather information, and more! And reserve your equipment early, if possible, to avoid disappointment, especially on holiday weekends.

If you are looking for lift ticket deals, shop online at. Ticket prices vary by day and skier's age. You will always save money on lodging and lift tickets, and enjoy more skiing and less line waiting, if you can ski during the week. It is worth the time off of your work job. Do it. Also, look for the Snowshoe "Ridiculous" Season Pass deal in the Spring (start checking early February - they usually increase in price during the availability window, which is "short."), which gives you a payback after about 3 or 4 days on the slopes!!

RETURNING GUESTS IN GOOD STANDING ENJOY THE 'WELCOME BACK' ADVANTAGE OF BEST POSSIBLE PRICING AND A REDUCED SECURITY DEPOSIT. JUST ASK.

If you've never been to Snowshoe, make this the year that you discover the East Coast's best skiing south of way up north!! Read our guest reviews, and give us a try! We'll do all we can to make your stay just right.

Stay was great, except wifi was not really usable
My family had a great time and enjoyed the property, view, amenities. The property manager was very helpful and responded quickly to our inquiries (really great guy)! My only qualm is that the wifi, while technically present is almost unusable. If you need to send anything more than a single email it will not work for you (no matter the time of day/night). Even trying to lookup local directions on google maps was pretty harrowing, and forget about working remotely if you were thinking about trying it here. Phone calls (over wifi) had mixed results. This was made all the more difficult by the fact that cell reception is terrible (at least for our carrier), at the rental, while it was fine a hundred yards up the mountain in the village. Everything else was GREAT!!! I just think the listing should be more clear about the internet speed/reliability on site.

Snowshoe Summit Stay
Condo was dated but cozy and mostly clean. Some of the dishes in the cabinets were not washed properly. Same with the pans. The tile floors in the kitchen need some TLC cleaning around the edges and in the area where the trash is stored. The Wi-Fi was terrible so if you have any plans to try to do a working vacation, you will not have reliable internet access. The views out the back were breathtaking and we enjoyed watching the deer every day down below. The hike up the steps to the village are long and steep. Highly recommend if you’re a skier to carry your ski boots and walk in regular boots. Then rent a locker for the day at Expedition Station or Silver Creek.

Excellent stay!
We travel quite a bit and have stayed in many VRBO rentals. We consider ourselves pretty picky. Jim, the owner, went above and beyond! His communication was great and the condo was very clean, well stocked, and a good location. Jim was very accommodating as we had a special event to attend at the beginning of our visit and a medical emergency at the end. Truly a great guy and lovely place. I do highly recommend using the shuttle to get up to the village because the steep steps are brutal!

About the host

Hosted by Jim Richards

Host profile image
We get around, but always enjoy landing at Snowshoe, any time of year. Summer, the place is cool with low humidity, and the crowds are elsewhere, although weekend events can bring significant activity to the mountain. The activities at the lake are extremely fun for all ages, and a very happening scene at a great value price point - Check out the season pass for all lake activities.

Why they chose this property

We love the location of The Summit, and the stunning views that are provided, while being in the central village, a healthy 5 minute walk from "everything." We especially like our end unit, top floor location in the Summit, with southern exposure, for lots of sunlight.

What makes this property unique

The place is truly cozy. The views, all the extra windows and light, as well as the breezes in the summer. The sauna is a unique benefit. The granite kitchen makes you feel right at home, and the gas log fireplace is convenient, cozy, and so warming. The newest upgrades, a 55" flat TV, and Boche dishwasher, are nice too. We like the tile floors in the bathrooms, kitchen, and deck/sauna entry... We like the original paneling that is nicely preserved in our place, and we like the convenience of a washer and dryer right there, so we can dry out wet stuff if needed, and start the next day dry. :) The carpet is functional but not fancy.
