Because of covid, there was no breakfast, but we received free breakfast vouchers to Route 66 which is a local restaurant nearby. It is not that far to snowshoe for skiing. It's near cass scenic railroad! We would most definitely stay there again! Highly recommend! Great place and great owners!

I would call in advance if you plan on staying anytime soon to ensure your stay is worthwhile. We were still able to use the Snowshoe resort activities. Bring food with you! All of the restaurants at Snowshoe are currently takeout ONLY--you must wait outside for your food and with minimal staff wait times are hours. Silver Creek was the only place we were able to sit inside and eat/wait for takeout inside. The front desk receptionist at Corduroy Inn, Teresa, was extremely helpful. She was kind, professional and genuine... we would not have made it through the weekend without her! Thank you so much Teresa! I will also say that the Corduroy Inn was the nicest lodging we saw on the mountain... we ventured inside a few of the hotels looking for food and noticed that none of them were as well constructed, clean or beautiful as Corduroy Inn. The rooms are exquisite and amenities (espresso machine, heated flooring, washer/dryer access) were extremely appreciated. Lacking was luggage carts... that would have helped with all our gear. I would stay here above anywhere else on the mountain though considering these things !

To be clear, the rooms are nice. The problem is in the technology they use, the service, and the billing practices. Firstly, they use an app to get in to your rooms. When I returned to my room after dinner, the app wouldn't work. It said it couldn't communicate with the lock. No problem I'll get another key at the front desk. This led to the second problem, the front desk closes at 4pm. No contact information posted. I look up the phone number on the webpage and call. It goes to an answering machine. I leave increasingly disgruntled messages over the next hour and a half. The temperature is dropping, my seven year old is in a t-shirt, I have access to my room and my car keys are in the room. I send emails to the place, not response. I ask around at the restaurants if there is anyone onsite. No one knows. Finally I ask at the place next door which is part of the same building. The guy says he'll check if his master key will let me in. It works. So good, I get in my room. Bad, the pizza place next door has access to the rooms. Finally, I get the bill today. It includes a 15$ amenity fee and a 45$ cleaning fee. For one night. This isn't a hotel, it's run like an AirBnB without the technology or service. It seems cheaper than renting a condo at the resort, but that's only because the condo rentals post their fees and cleaning charges.

Elk River Inn and Restaurant is 20 minutes (11 miles) away at the base of the mountain situated right on its namesake - the Elk River. What truly carries this rating is the food and atmosphere. It's very cottage-like feeling with lots of wood interior and cozy reminders all around you that you are in the mountains. I wouldn't consider the interior kitsch, but rather, decor appropriate for what it is. It was built in the 1980's and to some degree still reflects the time it was built through its furnishings. In a way it reminds me of my parent's house and I can appreciate this sort of decor. For dinner we had a meat and cheese board, rainbow trout and duck breast. Items, which, we were better happy with. The food was delicious and proportionally fulfilling. I had a glass of wine and he had a beer. Prices are similar to what we are familiar with while dining high end in DC, and we weren't that surprised to find that out here. If you are looking for something moderately priced then this might not be the place for you. Service was less than amazing. It was slow and a bit amiss. That is why this isn't a 5 star rating. It was disappointing. She was nice enough, but not someone I would want to have as a server again. We were next to a table who had a different server and he was on top of his game without a beat. This is totally worth a visit if you want to get away from the mountain for an evening. It was refreshing having food that didn't involve something fried, a burger, or sandwich.

All "amenities" were either non-existent due to renovations or covered in construction dust. There was no AC in all of our unit and no electricity in half of the unit. The administration was awful and completely useless. I asked if they would waive the $8 fee for my child to play in their dust-covered playground, because our stay had been just awful, to which they replied "absolutely not". Unfortunately, I already booked a stay for the following month to bring my family on vacation there... I am madly trying to cancel the booking because I'd rather lose $2,000 than stay there. The least that management could have done would be to apologize for not notifying their guests ahead of time of the construction, and waived the $8 fee for my child to play. All day I saw innocent guests check in to this construction site with the same look of confusion and concern that I had on day 1 of my stay... I personally wanted to tell the hotel manager that she was an incompetent middle management b who should clean her office... hoping she just reads it here instead.

What in the actual disaster is going on here. Burn the entire lodge down and start over. We have been coming here forever. Since my now 16yo son was maybe 5/6yo. We have always preferred Mountain Lodge. We have stayed other places like Allegheny Springs and Expedition Station but always have come back to Mountain Lodge. It is truly sad. The front desk doesn't care but when I went to Jack the manager at Allegheny Springs checkin he was able to get us into something more suitable. I will never book again at Mountain Lodge. So Long ML. Never again.

It's also a clumsy system - you have to take a ticket on entering and pay with a credit card upon departing since the garage is managed by the condo association, separate from the room booking with Snowshoe).  Note also that the key scanner and ticket dispenser are not in one place so it may not be immediately clear after you scan the key card how to get the ticket.  Anyway most people who stay at Rimfire no longer park inside - after all the free main parking lot is right across the road - but if you do decide to use the garage there are now tons of spaces available. This time I booked a Brigham Collection traditional room (210B) instead of my usual preferred deluxe studio which wasn't available (due to the pandemic Snowshoe is now busy throughout the week so lodging options are limited even on weekdays unless you book way in advance).  The BC signature rooms are supposed to be more posh and in a way they are - more stylish looking furnishings, wood floors instead of carpeting, king size bed etc,  but since this is a "traditional hotel room" it does not have even a small fridge or microwave, only a coffee maker, which is extremely inconvenient.   This room is also tiny, with an unusually oppressive low ceiling (ceiling height maybe a problem for many if not all rooms on the second floor).  The large wall mount TV has streaming options but wifi is very slow.  This room also has a connecting  door to the next unit, and soundproofing is nonexistent, we can hear the people on the other side of that door like they are in the same room with us.   Rimfire might be the only condo building that has "traditional hotels rooms".  Absolutely not recommended - especially since they are not any cheaper than the condos.

The room we stayed in recently got new carpet and was western facing, allowing us to view great evening sunset vistas.

Such is the case with The Inn at Snowshoe. A+++ from this family. They upgraded us for some unknown reason to a small apartment with two bedrooms, full kitchen and a jacuzzi tub for the kids. The room was pedestrian but very clean. The Par-Mar is right down the street for the only affordable groceries in the entire area. I would prefer to cook for my kids, rather than pay for overpriced, poor quality resort restaurant food, and it saves a ton of money. Yes, The Inn, is down the mountain. It is a ten minute drive up to the top...but who cares. WiFi worked fine. The website said the pool and hot tubs were closed but that proved to be incorrect. The area was open and warm and inviting and enjoyed every night by this family. The staff was friendly and it's where all the ski instructors live so there is nice family vibe of 20 somethings that would make it fun for young couples. Our kids were in ski school all day, so my wife and I used our time away to decompress, rest, and dare I say...get in a well-deserved cuddle.

I will have to say the grounds and building were in great condition and the service was very good. Our breakfast was also very good and the waitstaff were very friendly and helpful. I had no idea how historic this facility is and it is a living museum. From the iconic central structure which was completed in 1913, the interior designed by Dorthy Draper to lift the spirts of a war weary country which was completed in 1948. And in 1962 a secret bunker was built to house congress and the President and VP in case of a nuclear attack. The overall experience was very entertaining and enlightening. This is not a cutting edge modern resort but a piece of history that gives you a look at a time which was more simple in some ways but also very complicated from active war time into the cold war. The interior took some getting used to but after understanding the significance of interior design I can see why they are not making any major changes.

While the property itself is vast with many things to enjoy and do, it was a bit shocking to see that many of the amenities did require extra fees, there were a few options to eat on the property for limited cost, which is a bit interesting since the room fee was already so much, with added activities fees etc. It is a stunning area however, lots of things to try between the hot springs, the golf course, archery, falconry, horse riding, a hike that is somehow gate kept? But they all do require an additional payment, some of which definitely gets a bit pricey. But it is a stunningly beautiful area with lots do to. The tennis court, lazy river and pool was free with our visit so that was nice to try and explore. There are limited food options that are inexpensive without driving a bit (driving anywhere is a bit hard as the valet can sometimes take up to an hour to bring out the car for some reason at times and you are not allowed to park yourself). Overall, great stay, but do prepare that your wallet may be a bit damaged.

However, the main building was completely destroyed in a fire and rebuilt in brick just after 1900 - so the facilities have a great blend of history and modern sensibilities. What I loved: * great valet and bell services. You are pampered right from arrival. * omni select guest benefits. We received a room upgrade, plus a welcome amenity mix * beautiful manicured grounds. We enjoyed walking around and seeing the families making s'mores and kids rolling down the grass hill. * spectacular banquet facilities for amazing weddings. * fun front porch traditions. What wasn't as great * extra charges add up. Valet parking, daily resort fees, charge for hiking (guide required) and adult pool (but family pool free) * small bathroom, with only a shower. * limited accommodation for late checkout. Luckily, our select guest status allowed our request to be accommodated, but before I mentioned that, the request was denied with such quickness that it seemed routine to do so. If you are looking for a luxury family resort vacation is southwestern Virginia, or love historic properties, you'll likely love the Homestead. If you prefer a more modern experience without add on expenses, it may not be right.
