Ballhooter Ridgewatch by LUXSTAYUSA
Wide living-room windows frame the mountains from this two-bedroom, two-bath Mountain Lodge condo near the Ballhooter lift. A king primary suite, a second bedroom with a queen bunk over a king, and a sleeper sofa sleep 6. A full kitchen with granite counters, dining for four, a private balcony and two free parking spaces.

- Maximum occupancy is six, whatever the bed count suggests.
THE VILLAGE AND THE MOUNTAIN
Snowshoe Village is a short walk from Mountain Lodge: The Junction, Foxfire Grille and Waffle Cabin, plus ski and snowboard rentals, the ski school, shops and a convenience store. The free resort shuttle loops between the buildings, the Village and the base areas, so the car can stay parked all week.
Winter is skiing and riding, tubing, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. Summer brings lift-served mountain biking, hiking, golf and paddling on Shavers Lake. Cass Scenic Railroad State Park, with its steam-driven Shay locomotives, is a scenic drive down the mountain.

SEASONAL RESORT AND BUILDING AMENITIES: PLEASE CHECK BEFORE YOU BOOK
Snowshoe is a seasonal mountain resort. Many of its shops, restaurants, activities, lifts and shuttles operate only part of the year. Building amenities such as pools, hot tubs, saunas, fitness rooms, ski lockers and front-desk check-in locations are run by Snowshoe Mountain Resort and the building associations, not by LuxStayUSA, and may be closed for the season, for weather or for maintenance during your stay. We don't control their schedules, so please confirm current hours and availability directly with Snowshoe Mountain Resort before you book. Closures of these third-party facilities don't change your reservation terms.
