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 !

We stayed at the Inn and the room was clean, well kept. The parking underneath was a lifesaver the day we left, as it was pouring rain outside! The views of the sunsets from the Inn were stunning and unforgettable! We enjoyed every moment of our stay and definitely plan to make another trip back in the off season to hike and explore more of the area! Being a radio quiet zone allowed us to put our phones down and enjoy a much needed vacation away from the world! Thanks for making out trip so great!

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.

The bathroom was a great size for the room with a shower tub and complimentary shampoo, conditioner, wash, and lotion. The towels and bedding for sleeper are provided. For this lodge, you have to pay for "Towel & Trash" service or Maid service. The lockers were right by our room, as well as the fitness center and we were on the end so we had the door access closer to the center of the village. The laundry room had one washer and 4 dryers, which doesn't seem like much, but I didn't see many people utilize it anyways besides us and one other person used the dryers. This lodge was great because our rentals were just downstairs outside of our building. Super convenient. The slopes are right outside! It's easy to access to load/unload your stuff when you arrive or leave. I recommend this lodge for sure! It's not in the center, but it's not long of a walk either. Checkin that The Inn at Snowshoe (at the bottom of the mountain) was easy. Angie was so great and helpful. I'm glad she was there when we got checked in and all of our tickets for lift and my kids snowboard lessons. She answered all of what I needed.

I am excited to leave this review as there are so few! My boyfriend, best friend, and her husband…read morestayed here for three nights during our recent trip to Snowshoe. I was debating between 3 and 4 stars, for the reasons below, but we really did make this work and it was a cozy and convenient stay with beautiful views. Let's talk about the location first. Location was perfect, right in the center of the adorable Snowshoe village and literally next door to the slopes. You walk out the back door, outside the snowboard gear lockers, and you are on the first slope. I loved how close it was as you can scurry off to get lunch or to the bathroom within just a few moments. The view outside the room, the building, really the entire village, is stunning. Be sure to catch the sunrises and sunsets across the mountain tops. Now for the room and stay. The building is almost like a hotel/apartment complex building. There is no front desk. You have to go about a half mile down the mountain to get the keys and lodging information. The room is obviously older and nothing fancy. As far as the kitchen situation, the fridge should be bigger. It was a mini-fridge so be prepared! I think when you have a two bedroom room, you would need more than a mini-fridge due to the number of people staying. Luckily, my friend and her husband had a huge cooler and we just kept refilling it with ice. The kitchen had a dishwasher and two burner stove. The light over the sink was broken and the mini-fridge did not close all the way, which was a turn-off. All of this being said, I truly do believe we made it work great. They do have a bunch of utensils, pots, and pans. We were able to get creative and make some good dinners. The living room had a few games, a television, cozy blankets, chairs/couch, and lamps. There was a "kitchen" type table for dining/games. The living room was definitely cozy and the views were outstanding! All of the rooms got so much sunlight, which was lovely. There were two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The bedroom space was tight, but not too bad for two people staying in one. Dressers in both, closet in one, television in one. The beds came with amble bedding as it gets cold in the mountains, which was nice. The beds were also incredibly and surprisingly comfortable! I would recommend Expedition Station from our experience. Not bad from a price standpoint for three nights with the location and almost having everything you need. However, we would probably stay somewhere else next time for a different experience, as there are many areas/adorable mountain homes to stay during your trip in this area.

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.

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 want to preface this review by saying that we did not stay overnight in a room at The Greenbrier,…read morebut we did spend most of the day there, and I'm glad we did. When you pull in, you will be greeted by security at the front gate. We advised them we were there for the bunker tour and to do some shopping and they gave us a parking pass and directions to the best place to park. The resort is iconic, huge and pristine. We walked our dog around the grounds and up to the main building. Unfortunately, even though they say that the resort is dog friendly, there are some areas where dogs are not allowed. So I waited outside while my husband spoke to someone at the front desk about reserving a spot for the bunker tour. When he returned, I went inside while he stayed out front with our pup. When you walk in the decor hits you all at once and, if you are a Fallout fan like I am, everything just feels so familiar and comfortable. The bold, eccentric colors and patterns, the chandeliers and unique furniture... It's all there. I wandered through the shops which are upscale and fun to browse, even if you're just looking. I bought some giant macarons which were priced incredibly reasonably and really enjoyed them. All of the staff I encountered were friendly and helpful, and even without reservations, we were able to get tickets to the bunker tour. Be advised that they made it very clear to us that getting tickets "day of" is not the standard experience, so I do recommend reserving tickets if you want to do the tour. The vault tour itself is probably closer to four stars, but it's definitely a must. Knowing there was a fully built secret congressional bunker hidden underneath this glamorous resort for decades is wild. You walk through the old dorm rooms and meeting areas and see how it was all set up so long ago. You're not allowed to take any photographs, but I did read some basic information before coming. Still, reading about it and seeing it are two totally different things. It cost well over $100 for the two of us to do the tour and that is before tip so it definitely isn't cheap. It would have also been nice to have more seating, especially for things like watching the video, etc. My feet hurt a little after the tour from standing so long on the hard concrete floors of the bunker. The only reason that we did not end up spending the night is that we really wanted to be inside some of the main buildings and although they do offer dog friendly accommodations, they are only located within certain cottages kind of on the edges or outskirts of the property. There is also a $250 fee for dogs so we decided at the time that it would not be worth it for us, however, full disclosure: we regret that decision. We definitely should have spent the night. It was a once in a lifetime experience for me and if I ever get the chance to come back here I will definitely get a room and stay as long as I can, soaking up the ambiance and anemoia.

They've got some nice activities and the fitness area is pretty decent with weights and machines. Falconry was an interesting excursion but the pricing is kinda crazy. The restaurants were all pretty good on the quality side but service was painfully slow for most. The breakfast buffet though is epic!

There are ample staff, and everyone was very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed everything we ate, from the quick serve breakfasts and sandwiches at Martha's cafe, to dinners at Woody's, the breakfast buffet, and the gala dinner. It was always easy to find something to eat or drink, with various levels of service/formality. The gym is well appointed, and we really enjoyed the outdoor pool and hot tub. The afternoon tea and cookies is very crowded, but fun. The evening movie was a fun activity, with popcorn and nice seating . One thing I really liked was the number of occupied public spaces. The lobby/foyer has live music in the evenings, occasional tea and coffee service, couches and fireplaces. The Christmas decorations were just gorgeous. We enjoyed walking around to see them all. We also really liked the vibes in the Presidential Lounge and had drinks there on several occasions, taking our time. We are not fancy people, and did find the hotel rather expensive, and definitely still felt nickeled and dimed at times. There is no included food/beverages, and only part of the complex is available/included in your cost. We were able to use part of the outdoor pool, and the indoor pool and fitness center. The mineral pools, onsite and off, are additional fees, as are all meals, most coffee, etc. Parking is not included, and is valet only. There are numerous daily activities, most of which are an additional charge. Many did look enjoyable, but we opted out of the $75 bourbon tasting and $75 yoga classes. When the Omni is on, they are ON, but, to my point above, once they start to miss, they just kind of shrug it off and the mistakes feel expensive. My date had bought me a massage, which came with a spa day pass, which is the only way to use the spa garden and on site springs. We didn't realize at first that I already had a day pass, so we went ahead and purchased one for him to enjoy the facilities as well. On our spa day, the hot water was out, which meant that a decent number of the indoor facilities were not enjoyable. There were no discounts or alternatives offered, just kind of - it's not working. We still had a very nice spa day, but would have enjoyed the indoor showers, and actually, showering off, in January, in cold water after using the mineral springs, was not fun. When we ordered room service, half of our order was forgotten, and again, we were presented with a brief apology and the full bill, even though it took an additional 20 minutes for the food to arrive and I had finished eating mine by then. The most stressful error was when the bell staff dropped the garment bag containing my black tie dress on the floor in the hall, and we found it there when we came back to the room! I was really upset about that, though we didn't call the desk as we were tired and I did have the dress in the end, but this could have ended quite differently. I will also say that the walls are PAPER thin. A rather loud family occupied the room next to us for part of our stay and we could hear EVERYTHING. The historic property is just lovely, and the service was really nice. If we were to return, we would likely stay for a shorter visit, but it was definitely worth a trip.

As a nearby local born and raised (Botetourt Co. hey), I remember driving past this beautiful…read moreresort and pressing my face to the windows to look on the school bus when we played Bath. Co. in volleyball. My husband wanted to come for a weekend getaway after Christmas and I was game. He's not from VA so I was looking forward to showing him around. I've visited for the day once almost 20 years ago and had lunch. This is a huge resort - and a lot of the amenities weren't really accessible to us that are outdoors - but, they did still have the heated outdoor and indoor spa pools open, ice skating, and some other things. My husband really wanted to try to ski or do snow tubing but none of that is open. The hotel was beautifully decorated for the Christmas holidays and they had trees everywhere - I probably saw over 25 trees and didn't even see them all - my baby girl loved exploring and running around the resort. They have a lot of activities throughout the day for children and families including evening entertainment in the lobby, children's activities, a photographer taking family portraits, game rooms, and multiple restaurants and shops. It is expensive to stay here - it's billed as a luxury resort - and it is beautiful, but it's in the actual middle of nowhere essentially and is a long drive on winding country roads. It's charming, but somewhat isolated and feels like a remnant of a bygone era. The spa building smelled awful, there was a lot of disarray there by the entrance, and the walkways and stairways aren't handicap/stroller accessible and several elevators weren't working making it difficult to navigate this huge resort easily/quickly to walk around with a stroller/toddler. Staff were hit or miss - staff at the restaurants were wonderful. Staff at reception and check-in were awful. We had communicated ahead of time that we had our baby and asked for early check-in and a crib/pack and play and both were confirmed. As we booked with our travel agent who gets perks with the hotel - early check-in was a part of our package anyway. We arrived around 4pm and our room was still no ready - we were placed in an area in the basement with no view and were not impressed at all. After my husband spoke to the front desk manager, we were moved to a different room with a gorgeous view and balcony. This room was spacious and much better. Still, they dropped the ball on several of the amenities we typically get through my agent (welcome letter, snack or amenities, breakfast, etc.). When we arrived the valet told my husband it was included with our stay at no charge, then my husband was charged $30 a day ($90) for our stay and was upset at checkout about being misled. It was a fun weekend but felt overpriced and the hotel needs some TLC in certain areas. I'm sure upkeep and maintenance is astronomical here, but the spa area was gross and the elevators and walking access are a huge issue.
