The unit was very clean, comfortable I had all the amenities that we needed. The patio door view is awesome. It will be even better. Once the deck is put on we will definitely be back.

The location is the best feature, and the owner is very honest about the fact that the condo is “just basics”. For my family of 5, two adults and a 11, 8, and 4 year old, it was too small. Each time someone was in the bathroom someone else was in an emergency outside the door - so no relaxing showers after skiing. The bathroom is very small anyway so it’s not about comfort just function. Overall, the condo is efficient and as pictured. I used the kitchen a lot while we were there - we only ate one meal out - and it had what I needed. The whole building itself is very outdated and dirty, but there’s a weird charm to it like it’s a forgotten movie set or something. The condo itself was clean. The elevator had layers of flooring missing and the edges were covered in debris and dust like it was never cleaned. The mattress in the bedroom was not comfortable to me. After the first night of sleep (before I skied) I had bad back pain for the duration of the trip that didn’t go away until a few days after I was home. But that’s different for everyone. I prefer a softer mattress and this one is very solid. My husband slept in the recliner and was okay with that but he couldn’t sleep on the bed. I had a nice ground pad in my car so I put that on top of the bed to sleep on it. These are personal issues - not issues with the condo really. The one great accessory in the unit was the long hallway of pegs and hooks to hang our jackets, pants, etc. We wouldn’t have had enough space to store our ski stuff otherwise. I was worried about 5 sets of luggage fitting there but we packed lightly and organized fine. We rented a locker for our ski equipment, there’s no way we would’ve been able to move through the condo with our ski equipment in there. We went at the end of February 2023, and the conditions were not great. Slushy and 60° one day and the next it was freezing which made the mountain not skiable - just a giant ice slope. It was not a great place to teach my kids to ski due to the conditions, all slopes were just a strip of mostly man made snow with grass and mud on the sides and sometimes in the middle of the slope. There’s also no real bunny slope. I wish I knew that before planning the trip. The silvercreek side shut down while we were there, thankfully we had already tubed, which my kids enjoyed. The unit is good and as described, just not for us. I overestimated our ability as a family to stay in small quarters for 4 days. Also, it was quiet as mentioned.

I wanted a place next to the main village, with a nice view, and a king bed... exactly what was claimed, and exactly what I got :-)
I knew ahead of time that Mountain Lodge and the rooms aren't perfect and have some age, but the property was clean and ready on time, which is all I cared about.
Bonus was the large living room smart TV that streamed directly from my iPhone.
I think the only thing that wasn't there that I would have expected was coffee filters... no big deal.
Instructions for check-in were clear and easy.
Thanks very much!

Location was great next to the slopes/ ski lift. Unit itself was not clean. Running water didn't work at Mountain Lodge and unit was not cleaned when we arrived. Sleeper couch was not clean and not in good condition , ended up using sheets to sleep on the floor. Ceilings incredibly low. Unit had a musty smell that we got used to but hit you like a brick wall everytime coming in from outside. Host was reachable and helpful. Not planning to stay at Mountain Lodge again.

Husband and I wanted a weekend getaway that wasn’t too far from home. This condo had everything we needed. The view was great to watch the action. It will be even better when the balcony has been added. Bed was a little too firm for me and the hideaway bed was not even remotely comfortable. Otherwise all was good.

I did not realize that when renting from vrbo, you have to pay to use the pool/hot tub.
It was fine. Has some nails sticking up on the floor, but in general it was good.

Update Address
Perhaps update the address for navigating to the property - the address thru the VRBO app takes you to the Shavers Center, not the Mountain Lodge. Not a big deal, but in the snow and poor visibility it was only a mild inconvenience as a first time visitor. Everything else was great. Thank you.

Convenient To Slopes
Took a short two day ski trip. Start skiing the moment you step out the front door. Although Ballhooter was the closest lift it’s easy to avoid (as it’s the busiest) and get access to the condo. We would definitely visit the mountain ahead.

Loved it!
We thoroughly enjoyed your condo for the cleanliness and the view. We have a toddler with a compromised immune system, so cleanliness is top priority for our family. In addition, the view entertained our toddler while we were taking a break! The condo's layout is efficient and perfect to allow families to relax in the floor for playtime, and enjoy a great food prep/cooking space! We look forward to staying in your condo in the future!

Good place on top of mountain
This was a good property for the price with a great location. I had a few questions prior to booking and the owner was very responsive. Couldn't have asked for more.

Awesome view, cozy stay
Cozy condo pointing directly at the Ballhooter lift, which makes it extremely convenient to access from the slopes. Full kitchen with appliances and dishes made making dinner very easy and we needed nothing.

Well equipped unit near the village
I have stayed at different units at ML and I prefer this side of the building for the view and with the 3rd floor, well off the ground and a little quieter.
My son said the pull out couch was comfortable and the kitchen was better supplied than others I have stayed it.
Had a good stay for the GNCC weekend.

Great Stay at the End of the Season
I booked "The Sweet Spot" at the end of the 2019 ski season. I was able to book it at a great rate and Marc made things so easy and was accommodating to anything I needed during my stay. The unit was kept clean and had a fully stocked kitchen.

Proximity to slopes and village area couldn’t have been more convenient
Marc, the owner, couldn’t have been more helpful. He gave very specific information on everything from where to pick up ski rentals to restaurant reviews. He made the check-in process painless and easy. Cathy, in housekeeping, made every attempt to return my daughter’s school backpack that was left behind. She not only calmed me down but reassured me and walked me through the process of how to get it to me safely. Kudos to Kathy!!!

Close to slopes but that is all
Our room was clean and close to slopes. But the sliding door was broken so we heard every noise and the heat had to be higher to make up for the snow and cold that came in door. The dishwasher had to be lifted and put in place to make work. The staff at the lodge never Knew the answer to any question except for $3.50 to charge for towel rental. The owner told us by email that house keeping checks everyday. They don’t check at all. And when our towels got wet from cleaning the snow that came in the broken door we were told it would be $3.50 per towel. The village is nice but the workers are far from friendly. Most were rude or just plain confused. The best food and one person who was good at his job was Todd at Zenki at top of world. He was great and food was pretty good.

Snowshoe summer!
Just perfect for three ladies enjoying the weekend. Found everything we needed. Very clean condo. The wine was a nice touch. The Monroe’s made us feel very welcomed.

Amazing location, close to all amenities. Perfect for the 5 of us.
The condo is a tad dated, but it fills all the needs and the location makes up for the tight spaces. We had a group of 5 people, but it would have been no problem if we had come with 3 or 4. The location can’t be matched and the view is breathtaking. Marc was very helpful and everyone on site was wonderful. Would definitely come again!

Great location uncomfortable bed
It was in a great location! But the lodge restaurant was closed, there was never a fire in the fireplace in the lobby. The condo was cute comfy couch to lounge on. The wi-fi was super low strength I had to sit in the bedroom to use my computer it had very low water pressure and the bed was very uncomfortable and hard. We actually slept on the pull out couch the second night on. And we HAD to pay extra daily for housekeeping and they didn't clean the unit they only gave us towels if we asked.

Great location for skiing.
This place is perfect for skiing. You can walk right out of the building and onto the slopes. You can also walk to the Village for a variety of eating and shopping establishments. The greatest thing is the convenience for a ski break or even just to go to the bathroom. You can doff your skies, zip in to your room, and be back on the slopes in ten minutes. How easy is that? I parked my car when I checked in and didn't get back into it until I left. I highly recommend this unit. Their is a television in the bedroom and living room, plenty of kitchen accessories, and even a coffee maker with filters. You can't go wrong.

Wonderful location and Mountain Lodge employees were very courteous and helpful. We will be back to
We had a fantastic stay and Lodge 330 was perfectly arranged and equipped for a ski in/out experience! Everything worked and was clean and well maintained. We made some memories for a life time at Mountain Lodge 330. Thank you Marc

Great getaway! Love snowshoe!
Our first trip to snowshoe and we will be back! Great skiing great spot to be and great family time! There is no cell service! Spotty WiFi so enjoy! The condo had all we needed, yes it is an older lodge and definitely could do some upgrades but our condo for the price and the view and the ski in/ski out spot....perfect! Small and tight but workable and had all that you needed for a good nights sleep and a kitchen for meals and hot water for all showers! Everyone was super friendly and full of help! Movies for younger kids at night, an ok arcade (lots of broken games), lockers for skis. And right next to the village. Had takeout and delivery and both hit the spot. Trails were awesome and my boys loved the black diamonds! Marc is a gracious host who will answer you in a timely fashion and has a wealth of knowledge! Snowshoe was a great Christmas getaway and we will be back!

Great family trip
We just came back from a one week stay in Marc's condo. We had an amazing time. The place is nice and cozy and had everything we needed for a family of 5. The location is amazing and the views are great. We enjoyed a proximity to Ballhooter and the village with all it has to offer. We would definitely recommend this place to others. Thank you!

Let's Go Again
This is a great place for those that are here to ski. It's not a luxurious multi-room condo with all the trimmings. It is a place to comfortably lay your head at the end of a long day on the mountain. The kitchen is well equipped for those that are too tired to go out and eat. The balcony view adds to a beautiful backdrop. Mountain Lodge is a 50 step walk from Ballhooter/ Village area. Location couldn't be better.

Condo accomodated our family of 5 perfectly. Cute decorations and perfect view of Ballhooter lift. Everything we needed was there and house keeping was very friendly! Homeowner was quick to return emails!! Tip--->***being on the 3rd floor is a lot quieter than the 1st or 2nd floor!

Great location
Cozy unit right above the ballhooter lift and trail- great for people watching. Well stocked kitchen and pleasant staff. Load up on groceries before visit as restaurants have long wait times and often wouldn't take takeout orders - even the pizza place. 2 minute walk to ahops area and main shuttle stop. SIlver Creek slopes best for beginner skiers.

Great view!
Very nice, kitchen well equipped. Had trouble controlling the heat. Turned it off most of the time. Nice to have a fan in bedroom & living room, kitchen. King bed would be nice, but rooms are very small.

OMG! What a Perfect Location! Smack Dab on the slopes and walk or ski right over to the village.
Renting this unit from Marc was a wonderful decision. GREAT COMMUNICATION AND INCREDIBLY HELPFUL AND INFORMATIVE! This unit was everything he said it would be. It was clean and provided everything we needed for a week long stay. It was right on the slopes and was so close to the village, you could walk or ski right over in a minute. From the very beginning of my search for a place to stay at Snowshoe Mountain, Marc provided helpful and quick responses to my questions which helped me make my decision based on what I was looking for. I was bringing my two teenage daughters for a first-time ski trip and they loved the location. The view of the slope and lift was amazing and it was convenient to everything.....rentals, shopping, restaurants. We parked our vehicle in the early morning hours of our arrival and did not have to move it again until the day we were packing to come home. We had the most incredible weather Feb 11-17th. Beautiful SNOW showers almost every day and some of the best SKI conditions Snowshoe has had this season (I was told by several residents). Marc provides the most helpful "checklist of how to enjoy your stay" to his renters. It goes over what to bring, cell service information, a quick overview of the restaurants and what they offer, best places for rentals, how to dress, etc. LOVED HAVING THIS INFORMATION!!! The staff at Mountain Lodge were very nice and helpful as well. We ended up leaving a whole suitcase in the loading area by mistake and the staff quickly located it and helped me arrange shipping back to me. I could not have enjoyed my stay there anymore!!! Absolutely Wonderful Vacation and I will certainly contact Marc again when planning my next Snowshoe Vacation. Highly Recommend. Thanks Marc for a great vacation!!! Cindy
