I wavered between 3 and 4 stars on this one. How you feel about Blue Mountain depends largely on…read morewhat kind of a skier/snowboarder you are. If you're an absolute beginner, it isn't a bad introduction to the world of snow sports. It's a small "mountain" and therefore very beginner friendly. They have a completely closed off area on one side that is entirely for beginners with conveyor lifts, very gentle and short slopes, and a short chairlift. There are also two green trails on the mountain designated as "slow skiing areas," though they might want to police them better as there were still several daredevils blasting by us. The whole process for rentals and lessons is a well-oiled machine and easy to navigate. My 11-year-old son had never been skiing or snowboarding before and was anxious to try. So this seemed like a logical spot to bring him. I had been here plenty of times as a kid in the 90's, but this was my first time back in decades. We came on a Sunday in March and arrived at 7:30. It was already crowded with cars and people at that point but we still got a good parking spot and picking up rental equipment was no problem. My son enjoyed his snowboarding lesson and was loving how quickly he was learning. I bought a lift pass for me + helmet rental, and a beginner package for him (this included snowboard/helmet rental, one hour lesson, and restricted lift ticket). All together this was $293, which seems wildly overpriced for the mountain we were on, especially considering my son was stuck to the beginner area all day unless we upgraded his lift ticket. But I guess this price is common in the skiing industry these days, and I hate to think what the big mountains out west are charging. If you're an experienced skier/snowboarder and live close by, it's probably not a bad place to get in a quick fix. As an experienced skier myself, it was a pleasant day on the slopes, but got a little boring after awhile. If I'm going to pay an arm and a leg, fight hordes of people all day, and drive for a few hours to get there, I'd rather do so on a bigger and more challenging mountain.

We really wanted to get an aerial view of the fall foliage, but it wasn't really much to see as…read moremost leaves are still green. However, Blue mountain is absolutely stunning! We enjoyed the views from the chair lift and felt pretty safe. After the lift, we hiked over to the restaurant at Summit Lodge. ** Of note, the website says it's a .6 mile trek, but it is definitely 1 full mile as we were told upon departing the chair lift. We finished our meal and hiked back up the mountain arriving at 5, to discover that the lift was shutting down for the night. The operator said someone should've told us that it stops running at 430. Initially, he said he could take one of us back down in his 2 seater vehicle and the rest of us would have to hike back. But then he decided to radio to base who advised they would have someone drive the 3 of us together. The operator waited with us until our driver arrived. The driver was a very nice police officer who gave us a lot of info about Blue Mountain, and even volunteered to be our photographer. Despite the snafu, we all said we would come back. 8/10

Have never been so burnt by a realtor in my life.....They didn't allow me to attend…read moreinspection...was allowed to stop and pay the inspector ...Sue Eckhart was the agent and she attended inspection...never mentioned it before closing. The closing she was late and left early. It was a new girl who did the closing at a lawyers office....taxes were messed up and it cost me a thousand dollars in rebates. I'm lucky I saw an email that looked like a tax bill....I called and was shocked to find a house I paid cash for in full. Was going to be on sheriff sale list due to the incompetence of all those involved. Very greedy....i would never use Mary Enke Realty based on their aloof uncaring attitude....They really could care less. Commission is their only mission. Enjoy. If try Michele Deluca if you want as someone that really does their best....a very unsatisfied victim of Sue from Mary Enke & Mary was even slippery....get the money no matter how wrong their unqualified closer does the paperwork and it's not their fault. Please ...get training on proper closing procedures and inspection disclosures before continuing in this area....Even DeMaria is better choice than Enke ..Time to retire.

We were in the process of buying a house from Mary Enck 15 years ago. Did not get much negotiation…read morein the price, even though the house was older and needed a lot of TLC. The house had been put on and off the market several times for the previous couple years and never sold. Unfortunately, we didn't listen to our guts and went ahead and put down a $1,000 holding deposit on the property. We were given the disclosure statement from the owner. Everything looked fine on paper. Once the owner accepted our offer, the agent said we had to pay for the inspection and recommended 3 they regularly work with. My gut feeling told me to find someone else, and I AM SO HAPPY WE DID!! The house was in far worse shape than we thought, with a whole host of problems, none of which were included in the disclosure. One of the biggest things wrong was the septic system. (FYI..a Septic cleaner professional had actually arrived to clean the septic system out. It took him and hour to pry it open. He said it had not been cleaned in 30+ years). The inspector showed us more than 20 things wrong with the house, including mold, a dangerous and unstable deck, asphalt grading towards the house and trees growing over the pipes that lead to the leach field. Those are just a few problems. It was well worth the $1000 inspection cost. We sent Mary Enck a copy of the report and withdrew our offer. They seemed unsurprised. About a year later we drove by the property and saw they were fixing some of the things, like the roof. Later that year we saw that the house was sold. If you ask me, Mary Enck and associates engage in faulty real estate practices, which is at least unethical, possibly illegal!! I RECOMMEND NOT USING MARY ENCK to buy, or even sell your home. There are so many better Real estate agencies out there! Do your research and always look at the negative reviews! Good luck!

Our group of 9 was impressed with every detail, but most of all had the best possible, personal experience that exceeded every expectation among us.
