Beautiful views!

The house was large and accommodated all of our needs. The hot tub and ping-pong table were great. There are some things broken around the house like toilet paper holders, shower temperature gauge handles etc. that should be fixed. The decor is old and needs updated. An electric can opener would have been helpful as we did most of our eating at home. If you are driving from Cass you will drive past both entrances to Snowshoe to get to Mountain Realty to pick up your keys which adds about 30 minutes to your trip. They did allow us to leave the keys in the house and not drive them back to Mountain Realty. We did not have to use the shuttle as someone drove the skiers to the village, but we were also able to easily walk 10 minute to the village uphill as well. Would probably need a four-wheel-drive if it was icy and snowy. Overall a pleasant experience.

Great Stay

Our group had a great time at 72 South West Ridge. The home was perfect for families. It's clear the home has been "used" over the years; nevertheless it was comfortable and had everything we needed. The rental company was very responsive to the minor concerns we brought up during our stay. We would gladly rent the property again in the future if the opportunity presents itself.

Spring getaway
Nancy J. from Marriottsville, Md
Stayed 3 days ending March 2021
The house was unbelievably huge , very woodsy decor . It was very clean but the decor was very outdated. ( like 1990s) we arrived after dark in a snowstorm but aside from the snow a little piled everything worked well. Kitchenware( especially pots and silverware should be replaced. It was foggy and raining the rest of the time but we made the best of it.
Great Space for a Large Family
Konstanze J. from Mechanicsville, VA
Stayed 4 days ending September 2018
We brought our extended family, 13 people including 5 kids age 3 to 14, for a long weekend. This property was a perfect fit! Room enough for everyone to spread out by a layout that allowed us to watch the little ones without being in the same space. 😉 The views at sunset were amazing when it was clear. Though there house showed some signs of wear and tear, they did not interfere with our visit at all. Overall, a very nice property that we will probably revisit.

Thank you for your comments we appreciate it. Mountain Valley Realty looks forward to seeing you this winter.
Loved our visit!!

We rented the house for the weekend of the GNCC races and it was perfect! The size of the house, the parking space for our box trailers with the bikes in them, the location, and not to mention the House was beautiful! We had many sit down meals with our friends in the large kitchen, we relaxed in the huge living room, and the kids enjoyed the ping pong table downstairs. The hot tub was a huge plus as well 🙂
A Fun Family Oriented Getaway
Heidi C. from Cincinnati, OH
Stayed 5 days ending November 2018
The cabin was easy to find with the hospitality app and the Mountain Valley Realty personal were helpful when we called. We did not know the one road was closed so finding an alternative route was tricky. The cabin was well equipped with blankets and pillows. It was clean and a lot of firewood. The bottom level was extremely cold but a fire was not attempted in the lower level which might have helped. The kitchen had a lot of equipment. It would be helpful to have a dustpan and better can opener. It was helpful to have two fridge and two ovens since we cooked a whole Thanksgiving dinner while we were there. We really had a wonderful time and enjoyed the occasional walk into Snowshoe. Thank you.
Great views at a reasonable price

Good value. The staff at check-in and check-out were very friendly. We got there early, but they didn't mind us checking in. The cleaning crew was still working hard and finishing up, and they did a good job. The place was overall clean, but you could tell that it gets a lot of use from skiers, mountain bikers, and pets, and hey, we aren't the cleanest, gentlest bunch. There are definitely a few maintenance items that need attention.
The best part was the breathtaking western views of the valley and mountains! The hot tub was utilized, and got pretty frothy, but seemed to be clean. Plenty enough room for 16 adults.
Nice and well equipped property

Property located on top of mountain, next to Snowshoe Village. U shaped driveway makes it easy to get in and out. Property is well equipped with everything that is needed. It is not top quality but it is clean, roomy and functional. What could be improved? Some windows are not covered and some have thin white blinds which makes it difficult to sleep after sunrise for those needing more dark. It's difficult to control the temp in the house. With 4 thermostats, the basements stays very cold while the upstairs is much warmer. The master bathtub is leaking water into the basement. Internet is in and out. Spammers keep calling the house phone. There is a community trash container next door which tends to smell and if others don't close it, the bears will get in it and spread out the trash all over the place. It would help to have coupons for amenities offered at Snowshoe as they were all quite pricey.
Amenities not as listed

Amenities listed were phone, shuttle, internet, ping pong table and hot tub. Needless to say we only had a hot tub. Disappointed. No cell service, no internet and no landline meant we couldn't call the shuttle or look up things to do or call for questions, reservations. Landline phone was fixed halfway through our stay but there was no internet or ping pong table. There wasn't a storm either. The phone tech told us there wasn't internet provided at this property. Not ideal.
Manager Responded on 1/9/2020
The shuttle runs by around every 20 minutes continuously throuhout the day. We understand the frustration with the land line and internet an was working with the service provider to repair while you were here. Not sure what phone tech you were talkig to but the property does have internet unfortunately is was not working for you. Our online services as well as employees talk about cell service as we are in the Quiet Zone and it is mostly AT&T that will work, however, some mini towers have been placed in the Central Village that accomodates Verizon. The ping pong table was broken due to some ruff play we should have notified you of that prior to your arrival. This is a wonderful property and lots of guests, family and frends have enjoyed for years.

The house was a great size, but a lot of things needed repairs. Just one TV worked in the house. The pictures show a ping pong table and it is not there. It should have been more maintained for the price you pay.
Manager Responded on 1/9/2020
Hi, Thank you for your input and we will share concerns with the owners. The owners do have plans to make some changes and upgrades this year. The ping pong table was broken due to ruff play and we should have contacted you about that prior to your arrival. Lots of years of enjoyment have been had in this property, please try it again. Have a Great Year and remember there is Summer Fun to be had at Snowshoe and throughout Pocahontas County.
Amazing view

This chalet has a $1M view - we could not get over it and spent a lot of time on the deck enjoying the view.
The beds were comfortable, and the chalet really spacious. The jacuzzi was also a nice treat at the end of the day.
A couple of upgrades/changes:
- the carpet in the basement was stained and shows its age. It could be replaced
- the dryer would not dry effectively and can also be replaced/

Don't get snowed in... or do, it's a nice house
Steven H. from Washington, DC
Stayed 3 days ending February 2015
The driveway is a very steep, so if it's going to snow while you're there only park cars with 4-wheel drive at the bottom (unless you want to spend some extra time there waiting to get towed out). Other than that, everything about the house was great, the shuttle was super convenient for getting to and from the slopes.

Snowshoe Mountain House Rental
Ben J. from Bethesda, MD
Stayed 3 days ending January 2018
Overall, we had a good experience. There were a few things that were disappointing though. We found beer cans outside the house when we walked up, the hot tub didn't work and the house didn't have enough hot water to even supply the Jacuzzi tub and so we didn't have an alternative for the kids who were very excited about the idea of a hot tub after skiing. Beyond those things, the house was big and comfortable and worked out well for our three families that stayed there. It was conveniently located to the village and the shuttle worked out well.
