What a nostalgic visit. We were here 30 years ago and it looks the same. Updates have kept the retro feel. It's still a one stop place. You park right next to your hotel. You ski right out your door. You swim in an indoor outdoor pool. And if your thirsty, there is a bar/restaurant on the slopes and inside the resort. All the comforts away from home. Each Individual unit is owned and decorated by its owner. So some are going to be more updated than others. We stayed in 5313 and had a fabulous time. This is not an upscale resort. But it is very homey. If you are a long time silver creek lover, you will love that everything has stayed the same. Why the resort gets 3 stars. The restaurant is closed, but you can grab a quick bite in the lounge. The pool is open for 3 different sessions in the evening and you are allowed to go one time and must register. However it is Closed on Tuesday and Wednesday's. Actually most everything at Silver Creek is CLOSED on Tuesday and Wednesdays. What a let down!! . We are at the end of the season, so whatever snow ice they have,, thats all. They stopped making snow in February. Still we look forward to coming back and not waiting another 30 years read more

What a dump!!! While close to the slopes, I found myself asking if the whole place was either a joke or some kInd of bizarre mob money laundering scheme. The floors were littered with refuse and stains. Everything had the dingy look of a mid-seventies relic. This appeared to be a place where parents with large families check in to allow their children to roam far and wide - we heard them all late into the night! In the lobby were two stores that appeared to offer second hand items and an assortment of odds and ends more akin to a yard sale that a resort. No breakfast available of any sort. No place to get coffee. When asked for options, I was referred to the re-purposed school bus that served as a shuttle to the main facility every thirty minutes. read more

Loved the Silver Creek lodge and it's location. We booked through VRBO but I am sure there are many ways to book with them. Communications with the property manager were easy and super prompt, and they are nice responsible and flexible people. We stayed in unit 5412 but as I understand same property management is working with many units there. Could not expect more - unit was very clean, and upscale with fully equipped kitchen, comfy bed and even a fireplace, which we didn't use as we were busy soaking in Hot tub and swimming in indoor pool. There's also decent sauna right there inside the building - all these details are very nice addition to this upscale unit. For me it's important to get at least nice hot shower after the long day of skiing, and hot tub really made my days. :) Location is unbeatable - you are right in Silver creek; yes it takes a short bus ride to the main complex if you want to ski there (totally doable, we did it even for the ski school ) - but then in the evening you are RIGHT THERE to enjoy night skiing. One step- and you are back home! Once we skied under the freezing rain - and in minutes after we decided to call it the day we were back to the warm and cozy unit. Washer, and especially dryer are very useful ! I also enjoyed the little antique store on the ground level - very cute. And of course you can buy basic groceries right there, and there's also bar if you want to chill out. (which we didn't use much as we were with kids- but it's there , and it's good change of scenery). There's some ski rack on the ground floor which you can use during the day - if you are taking a quick break from skiing. Would love to come back! Thank you! read more

Silver Creek - Living room - Ski Resorts Near Me - Snowshoe, West Virginia

Pros- has outdoor hot tub Skiing access from building without having to drive Cons- smells like grease and cigarettes Rooms are dirty but I needed gloves to ski and we found a pair in our room. No breakfast or coffee in the lodge. There was close to 15 kids in the hot tub at one point Perhaps the least nice place ive stayed in the USA I'm pretty sure the pool attended greeted me with "what!?"but I think that's just a west va thing. No verizon service ANYWHERE. read more

If you have ever wanted to test your COVID immunity, this is the place for you! It's so dirty. The place stinks, the rooms were not cleaned or at best, not cleaned well. Immediately washed all of the bedding and wiped everything down with Clorox wipes when we got here. Crusty stuff on the microwave and fridge handle. Sink full of crumbs. I wish I had taken pictures. I can live with the 1980s decor but the cleanliness is an issue for me. This has to be literally the worst place I have ever stayed. It's so dirty, my wife can't eat in the room without gagging. Unfortunately, we've promised the kids a ski trip and there are no other options. I can't really figure out where all of the resort's income goes. It's definitely not back into the property. read more

Silver Creek Lodge is... well, functional and utilitarian. The huge lodge is totally self-contained, where all amenities in a town are located in one building. Not a particularly beautiful architectural masterpiece - as a matter of fact when approaching the multi-story lodge from the Silver Creek access road, the first thing that comes to one's mind is one of these old Soviet built apartment blocks in Moscow. White, stark, imposing. The only thing missing is the big-biceps Proletarian at work and the hammer and sickle. Inside, however, it is a testament to good functional design. Its several wings are built around an immense atrium where restaurants, cafeteria, bars, shopping areas, and excercise facilities coexist. The lodge also has a ski rental area. The parking lot is acres large. The Lodge is steps away from the slopes of Silver Creek, the smaller and much less busy face of Snowshoe Mountain. When Snowshoe is experiencing hour-long lift lines, Silver Creek has none. Oops... I let out my secret... The outdoor pool and hot tub area is also large. The lodging at Silver Creek varies. All of the housing units are privately owned condos, which means many of the units are newly remodeled, while others have 1980 decor. That's not much different from much of the Snowshoe housing. Staying at Silver Creek is a boon for families. It is designed for families and it is also popular with families. Kids and young adults abound in the lodge, and parental supervision is made easy by its self-contained architecture. The Snowshoe shuttle also stops at the front door, providing for a car-free stay at the entire resort. read more

This place is terrible don't go to silver creek. There is no hot water, no heat in your rooms, sticky remotes with no batteries in them. If I could put 0 stars I would because it doesn't even deserve 1. read more

One star is for location. Nothing else here is worth the price or the risk of what you might catch. Nothing is clean. The staff is horribly unhelpful. It's gross. Just don't waste your money, read more

Pros- right next to silver creek slope, bar on first floor, physically not too bad, not that expensive. Cons-service was awful, food (throughout the whole mountain) was not good, would not come back to this place again. We asked for more towels and they refused until we gave our old ones back, food and drinks are outrageously expensive (paid 21.00 for a disgusting cheese pizza), heater semi exploded on us, Advice- load up on your groceries before coming here (including liquor for the weekend) read more

While the actual structure may be a bit dated, silver creek was the place to be. Came here for a long weekend with a bunch of my closest friends and had a blast. The friend who invited us owns several units at Silver Creek and also at the main lodge down the road. The best thing about this place was that it was SO FREAKING CLOSE to the slopes and also, it was almost completely empty. It was unreal how nice it was to basically have the mountain to myself. I never once waited to get on a lift, I just snowboarded right down the mountain and literally sat down on the lift and up and away i went! There was a good size snowstorm the day before and it snowed a bunch while we were there so the snow was plentiful and the conditions were just right. While this was only my first time, I hope it wasn't my last because we all had a great time and the Silver Creek Lodge was great! read more

Super convenient. Great indoor pool and hot tub. It's great being able to walk out the backdoor onto the slopes with night skiing. Best place to stay for families. read more

We came on vacation to Snowshoe in December 2017. We stayed at Silver Creek Lodge. Our condo, unit 2311 was so cute and cozy. We had a wonderful time. I can't wait to come back in the near future. read more

I've been coming to Snowshoe Mountain since 2005. Silver Creek is where I do my night snowboarding. Then I grab a few beers in the bar after the last run. read more

I stayed here 2/10 and 2/11 and the room that I paid $500 for was never cleaned I called all day on 2/11 nobody ever came to clean the room. I had to find a random house keeper to give me clean towels and clean sheets. The pillows had pee on them and the bed was not made. The room very clearly was not cleaned at all. I talked to the house keeper that was over Silver creek and he said he told sliver creek front deck the day before we checked in that the room wasn't clean. Silver creek staff still put us in the dirty room and never cleaned it even after I called the manager 10 times. I started calling at 7a.m. on 2/11. The TV was also broken and there was no internet or service in the room we had no option but to sleep on dirty sheets. You would think with COIVD and paying extra fees to clean the room that it would have been taken care of. I am very disappointed with my experience. Snowshoe was also very unorganized we had to drive to 3 different places to finally check in because the email was wrong. The staff was rude and keep telling us the other staff members lied. I will not be going back and I will be writing a review to educate others on the terrible job snowshoe does and how they "lied" about cleanliness during a global pandemic. read more

This one star is based on the fact that our room was nice, the pool was definitely a BIG winner... but that's it! The staff, whether in the hotel or the silver-creek slopes, were completely unknowledgeable about their product, obviously lacking training. I saw a 6 year old in a lesson go on a four person with 1 adult and 3 kids... he fell off and not at the beginning. We ended up having to take him, crying because he fell too far past the start and could not get back-on the lift with his teacher and friends - I had a kid in classes at the time, it was terrible and considering their were 2 other employees right there who could have helped the teacher, unconscionable. On snowshoe - Christmas day, we saw a lift operator sleeping - yes, sleeping - we woke him up! Rarely in our 6 nights, did anyone have an answer and more rarely did someone try to find the answer for us rather than the other way around. To boot - the housecleaners took our reusable bags that came with us to bring food (what their purpose is) - they happened to be sitting out in the small kitchen and I guess they thought they were trash... what's that about? The slopes were nice but they were less important than the slopes at Snowshoe as you can imagine, which if there is not much snow, which their wasn't before we came, makes you go to Snowshoe rather than stay on-site. And MOST NOTABLY there is only ONE restaurant (apart from the ski food court) - this restaurant is run by a manager who by all accounts throughout the property, and my own witness during my ONE and only time I ate there and will ever eat there, was rude and beyond unfriendly to customers. It is a real problem when you think the manager of a place could possibly spit in your food, doesn't quite make you have the warm and fuzzies about going back. In addition, when the people who work for him make comments about how they work for 14 hours with no break because of him and then other workers say "imagine how I feel working for him," it also ruins the luster of SC entirely. Then, to find out this same manager - SAM COLLINS, is also the HOA president. Moreover, somehow people are confused and think he runs the entire Silver Creek Resort (including him, who said so when I asked him to save mine and my kids ears and turn the music down a-bit) but then others at SC said he didn't - it was weird that some thought he ran the place and others didn't - kind of a need-to-know kind of thing from employees. Anyway, it was all very, very odd and very, very displeasing as I was FORCED to go to Snowshoe by shuttle for every decent meal, period! And, that makes SC and never go back to again kind of place. I think that SC should hire decent, honorable management (as I've read online since my stay seems to be an overriding issue and complaint by patrons and ex-employees alike). If you want decent patrons, provide decent management and train all the staff on knowing their product. If you have kids, go to PA - Camelback, much better customer service than WV, Silvercreek. Snowshoe was better, but I'd still stay away from it compared to the service and quality in PA resorts. I hope I've given you a good picture of what to expect at SC and at Snowshoe too. read more

Our family stayed here for four nights recently, renting two separate units at Silver Creek Lodge. Overall, it was not worth the money we paid. Positives - very close to slopes, convenient parking, shuttle service was generally prompt and there are a lot of amenities inside the Silver Creek building (however, quality of the amenities is not very good). Units were comfortable and clean and operational (except for WIFI) and the building was quiet at night. Negatives - The resort's claim of complementary WIFI in this building is a joke. WIFI is NOT generally accessible in the common/lobby areas -- you will be lucky to login to any network for more than a minute at best before losing connectivity. Others in the building I talked with had the same complaint. Each unit is supposed to have either a login password provided by the unit owner to their WIFI network account, OR an ethernet cable available in the unit. Our sons' unit had the former, but we could not find account login instructions OR an ethernet cable in our unit. The front desk then informed us we would have to PURCHASE an ethernet cable for around $10 which can only be bought from an eatery in the building during certain limited hours. The front desk does not sell or loan the cable. Of course, we objected to this whole scenario, due to the resort's promise of "free" WIFI in this building -- we should not have to spend money to get "free" WIFI -- what a lie. Finally, after several days of screwing around and trying to get connectivity, we happened to find the ethernet cable underneath a wall unit and were finally able to access the internet from our unit on day three of our stay. Completely UNSATISFACTORY. Why don't the maids ensure that the ethernet cable or WIFI login instructions are readily available to the next guest when they clean/prepare the rooms? Why can't the front desk have enough cables available to loan out to guests when the room cable is missing? Secondly, the resort's claims of offering free breakfast in this building is a joke. The so called "breakfast" is nothing more than a few stale store-bought pastries that taste awful, coffee, yellow sugar water they call juice, and a few dry cereals. I have had better "breakfasts" at Days Inn. Unfortunately, since the food situation at Snowshoe is so bad in general, there is not even any other place to go to get breakfast. (See food situation problem below). Finally, the building in general is dirty and unkempt. We stayed there four days and never once saw a staff member vacuum or clean the halls or lobby. There is grime, gum, streaks of food, spills, etc. everywhere. It is simply inconsistent for an establishment that calls itself a resort and charges $200+/night for rooms to be so poorly maintained and kept up. Food situation at Snowshoe is awful. We stayed here about 7 years ago and saw it then but hoped things had changed over the years -- they haven't. Do yourself a favor and rent a unit with a kitchen, then buy ALL the food you plan to eat well before you get anywhere near the resort. We had to wait 2 1/2 hours for a table for four at Foxfire(on a weeknight -- didn't eat until about 9:00 pm) and about 1/2 hour at the Junction. There is no place to eat breakfast and only one very crowded and overpriced place to grab a quick lunch without having to wait 1 hour for food. Why this resort continues to drive away customers and forgoes the opportunity to make tens of thousands of dollars per year by not offering sufficient food establishments is beyond me. It simply defies every principle of making money and pleasing customers. Anyway, for the above reasons, we have no plans to ever visit Snowshoe again. It's a shame because the skiing is very good but the problems with food and accommodations just puts too much of a damper on the whole vacation experience. Take my advice and go to Seven Springs instead -- they know how to take care of customers there and you will get your money's worth and have a great time skiing. read more
