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.

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 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.

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.

We went to the Omni this past weekend for an anniversary and thought it would be a romantic…read morelocation with the scenery and hot springs. Yet, we found that the hotel was significantly overpriced, poorly serviced, and much more geared towards kids than couples. The Service Nearly every interaction we had with the front desk felt like we were inconveniencing them. From the moment we walked in, my partner and I walked up to the front desk with two employees. The one briefly looked up at us and then returned to what she was doing. We stood there for a bit before I asked if there was someone who would be able to assist us for check-in. The next morning, we walked by and that same employee was leaning up against the wall staring up at the ceiling - it looked like she would rather be anywhere else than working at that front desk. It was not a helpful, four star experience in any way. The final straw for us was when we were checking out, and one of the Room Controllers (seems like a supervisor role) Patrick, was called over to try to help us with a question we had about a charge we saw on our bill. When asking if he could help us understand the activity fee listed that wasn't clear what it was connected to, he said he could look into it more but it would take over an hour to do. When we pushed if that was actually the case, he said "do you know how many people have stayed at this hotel over the past weekend," in reference to the number of tickets he would have to go through in order to answer our basic questions. Seems hard to believe a resort like this couldn't tell you what a charge on your bill is - and of course that wasn't the case. Turns out theres is a drop down that provides all the details. We weren't trying to nickel and dime here, just understand a charge that was not clearly tied to an activity. After he realized there was a drop-down and it would not take an hour to answer our question, he became significantly more friendly. Cleanliness Our room had stains on several surfaces, most noticeably on the pillows. The tub was also significantly rusted around the drain and there were two long hairs on the shower wall from previous guests that we found before using the shower. Food The food in Jefferson's was bad, especially at the price. I had eaten here before and did not remember it being so terrible. I would consider it the most overpriced meal we've had. We ordered an 8 oz steak, lobster tail, wedge salad, and spoon bread. The steak was 1) not 8 oz and 2) not cooked to order, the lobster was rubbery, the salad was soaked in dressing, and the bread brought with our meal appeared stale as if it had been sitting out for hours if not days. The Fees Everything includes an extra fee. We were fine with the cost of it, but the additional charges aren't an inconsequential amount and honestly it's clear that the fees are just a way to show a lower price when you're booking things. The one that really stood out to us was the spa "service fee" which was 22%, and which part of it went to the massage therapist - but the front desk at the spa couldn't tell us how much. We were told that this specifically was not a tip, and were expected to tip on top of the 22% fee. To make matters worse, our "50 minute massage" was not 50 minutes - we have texts we spent before and after the service from the room that shows it was closer to 45 minutes. To be clear, we were on time and completed the paperwork well before the start time - so it was not a matter of us being late to the appointment. Activities A quick note - our experience with all restaurant staff, interns, seasonal workers, and especially those leading activities was very good. Archery was fantastic, the hot springs were peaceful and unique, and the hike had a very knowledgeable guide. The guides for Archery (the intern from Virginia Tech and Ahmet) were incredibly helpful and friendly. Our activities were not without frustration though - when we showed up to our 9am archery reservation, we were met by the intern who said her boss was not here so we couldn't get into the building. So we stood out in the rain until management showed up to unlock the door. We would recommend part of our 20% activity fee on top of the cost of the activity go toward cutting an extra key so future guests don't have to wait in the rain.
