About this property

'Slopeside Escape' Mtn Lodge; Looking Directly at Ballhooter!!

COMFORT, COMFORT, COMFORT. Our unit has a brand new KING SIZE bed to rest in after a long day on the slopes. This unit is one of very few one bedroom units that have a KING SIZE bed. Don't you deserve it?

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. There quite simply is not a better location for the ski/snowboard enthusiast to enjoy Snowshoe Mountain. Our Mountain Lodge one bedroom suite (unit 334) is SLOPESIDE; walk out the door and enjoy the slopes. Our unit faces Ballhooter lift (the high speed quad lift) and slope system with fabulous views of the slopes and easy access to Green, Blue, and Black trails. If you want a break from the slopes, you can sit on your balcony or look out the unit window and still enjoy the mountain experience.

VALUE, VALUE, VALUE. Our completely remodeled unit offers the best value in Mountain Lodge and in fact the entire village. Our top floor location offers unprecedented views of the slopes and the mountains without dealing with overhead noise lower floor units endure. Our price is the same or lower than most Mountain Loge units, many of which have parking lot views and are frankly not as nice. Compare Pictures! Compare Prices! We have a fully stocked and full size kitchen (unlike many village kitchens that have compact stoves and mini fridges.)

CONVENIENCE, CONVENIENCE, CONVENIENCE. Once you arrive at Mountain Lodge, your 'hassle free' vacation can begin. Start by parking in our large paved lot with 24 hour security. Two elevators and ample luggage carts make unloading a breeze. Once at Mountain Lodge, the village restaurants, nightlife, and Split Rock Pools (daily admission fee) are just steps away. Inside Mountain Lodge you find an Italian restaurant, comedy cellar, excercise area, arcade, movie area, huge community fireplace, movie rentals, and more.

We believe our unit offers great value, unprecedented location, and superb convenience. It is also one of the few to offer a KING SIZE bed!!! We would love to share our home with you. Call with any questions or if we can provide further assistance.

Perfect place for a family weekend ski trip. Incredibly convenient location - ski on to slope or very short walk to village. Check-in was really easy, - maybe 2 mins total.

Ski in and out with Ease

Small condo perfect for a couple or two friends who ski together! Comfy bed and there is a pull out sofa if you need the extra sleeping space.The unit was clean and was well supplied with paper starters, and kitchen necessities.The host was very easy to contact and replied within 24 hours.The only disappointment was having to pay a 15 daily fee if you want a ski locker downstairs. That is a mountain lodge policy, and NOT policy of the owner.

Couldn't have been better

We came the weekend before Christmas, got in late as snow was falling heavy and making the roads a bit harder to navigate. Once we arrived we were able to pull right to the front, unload, and get our parking pass easily and quickly. The room was very clean the view was better than expected! It continued to snow our whole stay making it an awesome trip with beautiful views and great conditions!

Location can’t be beat but the property itself definitely can

Here are my pros and cons:Pros:1) a true ski in/out. Our room was right in front of the lift, so great location2) the linens and room was pretty cleanCons:1) the building was so old, was more like an hostel than a condominium 2) as soon as you entered the room there was a strong smell, not sure if it was from the building or just the carpets. It was strong but we got used to it.3) the communication could be better, you’d expect them to be able to tell you about the shared washer/dryer and if it’s coined or credit card, but no, they didn’t have that info. Or proactively send checkout instructions and not wait until asked. Even if it’s “no instructions, just run the dishwasher”. I think a more informative property manager will be helpful.

Joe was very friendly and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. The condo was very clean and fully stocked with a lot of kitchen items although we ate at the within walking distance restaurants mostly. Great view of the slopes and loved being right at the end of the ball hooter lift!

Unit is in great location but is showing signs of aging

Location is great but Mountain Lodge and unit is showing lots of signs of aging. Clean and kept as up to date as possible but pricing for unit was expensive for one bedroom unit. Sliding door froze closed and had limited hot water. Owner was very responsive but really expected something much more up to date for price.

Skier's paradise

We had a great stay at “Slopeside Escapes” condo. The check-in/out was very efficient with Mountain Lodge front desk and owner was quick to respond to any questions. The location is ideal for a ski enthusiast. My husband enjoyed all ski runs, especially the advanced ones on the west side. Condo’s private parking lot within a few steps from the slopes helped to keep all ski equipment in a car and speed up morning “getting ready to have fun” process. King size bed was comfortable and 3-rd floor location helped with quietness and great long-distance views of the mountains and ski slopes. Even though there are lots of eat/drink places within walking distance from ML, at the main street, our favorite place to eat was Old Spruce brewery, that takes a little driving from the place, but well worth it :) Would definitely stay again!

OK Overall

Apartment was OK, Could use some maintenance. Hole in the wall around the showerhead, bedroom heat didn't work but a portable heater was provided. Moving the luggage from the car to the apartment was a chore. Long distance with stairs. There is an elevator but you can't avoid some stairs. Kitchen was fine and well equipped.

Picture perfect views of the slopes & the lake!

There are several rooms that are slopeside, but I think we found the best one!! The king bed was great and sooo comfortable! Thank you for the extra effort to put in a good mattress! Also there is a crockpot for use and the tv was a roku one, so we were able to quickly access our Netflix & Amazon accounts for movies after we were off the slopes for the day!! Another super thank you for updating your tv for all of your visitors & not just getting by with a cheap one. It’s the little things that can make all the difference and I think this family has gone above and beyond to make their place comfortable, updated, and We can’t wait to come again...if we could only find an open date!!! Apparently we aren’t the only ones that enjoy your place!!

Wonderful post Holiday stay

Just returned from a wonderful 4 day stay at 'Slopeside Escape' and the unit was exactly as the owner described! Perfect for my family of four and the ski in/out proximity to the Ballhooter lift can't be beat. The king sized bed was so comfy the kids wanted to stay snuggled in watching movies when the wind was too bitter cold for an early morning visit to the slopes. We cooked several easy meals in the nicely supplied kitchen (spaghetti/chili) and played the board games each evening. We even ventured out to the Village, ate dinner at Cheat Mountain Pizza and spent some time at Split a Rocks pool and hot tub. With an 18 yr old and 8yr old, Snowshoe had plenty of great slope options to keep everyone happy. The older one usually headed to the terrain parks, while Dad kept an eye on the smallest boarder in the family. Mom enjoyed herself as well, although snowboarding for less than a year, managed to make her way around the green slopes.Thanks for sharing your beautiful place and we hope to visit again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Joe McNamara

Host profile image
Our family (mom, dad, and FIVE children) bought our first Snowshoe unit, a large Two Bedroom unit at Silver Creek in 1999. I am shown in the picture with my youngest daughter. We love the mountain, and in 2000 we bought our Mountain Lodge unit, which was a perfect weekend getaway for mom and dad, or for dad and the boys. As our family has grown older, we often use both locations for vacations now including mom, dad, children, friends, girlfriends, etc.

Why they chose this property

The location of Mountain Lodge was the single most important criteria in our decision to purchase. Equally important was the location of our unit within Mountail Lodge. We wanted a top floor unit, and a slope view was imperative. While parking is at a premium on winter weekends and holidays in the village, we were attracted to Mountain Lodge's ample and secure parking. The convenience is just unmatched.

What makes this property unique

Imagine sitting on your balcony, watching the skiers/boarders below you, while enjoying a cup of coffee. Inside your unit, pancakes, sausage, and eggs are being prepared. The children are sitting on the sofabed watching the 32 inch flat screen, or playing their video games. In about an hour, you will be on the slopes...after finishing breakfast and washing the dishes in the new dishwasher. The beginning of a great day. This could be you.
