Snowshoe 2BR Ski-InSki-Out Steps to Ballhooter Lift Mountain Lodge Condo

The location of the lodge is very convenient to the slopes

The condition of the unit was not what I expected for the price. It was pretty rundown and not very clean. Also the bedrooms were right on a hallway which was very loud especially during a crowded holiday weekend.

The location was perfect. Just a short walk through the lodge and outside to the slopes and the village. The bus stop to silver creek was also close.

The mountain lodge itself is outdated and not in a rustic way. Four people was the right amount for the room. There are two bedrooms, but the pull out bed was extremely uncomfortable.

location.

Not clean at all. The odor… they need to replace the carpet. they need to teach the staff how to clean properly.

This place is great for relaxing with family. It’s an apartment you could live in for weeks if desired. The kitchen and living areas are perfect for lounging and talking for hours. The couch is remarkably good. My sister and I agreed on that. I was surprised at how high quality the bedrooms were, very nicely appointed. The building materials within the rooms are clearly upscale. The windows are large enough to give a striking view of Snowshoe Mountain and brighten the living area. What I like best is the location. Situated between Elkins (Dolly Sods and Roaring Plains) and Cranberry Glades / Falls of Hills Creek so that the hour drive in either direction is acceptable. The pros outweigh the cons by a few tons, I would say.

Now to weigh in on the cons, which are still quite hefty. It’s a ski lodge. Not the best place to stay during the summer. Fortunately there is air conditioning in the form of a stand-alone unit, although scarcely enough to cool all rooms. One must attach the duct to the window before running it. Very inconvenient! Quiet enough place unless you unwittingly book during an ATV/Dirt Bike tournament, when there are revelers out in the parking lot after hours who rush in to stampede down the hallways at 3 AM like a herd of elephants. There’s enough parking unless crowded for special events, in which case people dart out into the roads and make it virtually impossible to move an inch. An arduous walk back to the lobby is a must when overflow parking sends autos to the church or hillside. Not many short cuts to get to the rooms, only two elevators and two automatic entry doors for such a large complex. The concierge tends to be a touch cross after a day of tolerating guests.
