This was our second stay at Snow Chateau. We enjoyed the spaciousness of the house, the fireplace, and the pool table. The surrounding nature destinations, Bear Rocks and Blackwater Falls were fun for everyone of all ages.

Oct '23 Fall Foilage Pyro Trip
A bakers dozen buddies from across W Va & OH that have been making 2 primitive camping trips a year to the Spruce Knob / Smoke Hole area, decided it was time to do the trip in a more civilized manner. We booked the Snow Chateau thru VRBO and it might've been the best decision since we started these ventures 46 yrs ago. The booking process was easy, our contact Michaela was on top of everything, and the accomodations were even better than expected. Altho the decor is a little dated, the cabin was in perfect condition and everything inside and outside was pristine. Ot was the perfect place for old friends to get together. We'll be coming back!!! Thanks for a GREAT weekend!

Very good
We enjoyed our time there. Unfortunately the weather was not the best, but that was no fault of anyone. The only thing that i would suggest is to repair the railing on back deck. It had a band around where the dish was anchored and was weak. My 87 year old father of course was the first to notice.

Can't Speak Highly Enough
While this property is a little distance (not too bad of a drive) from the skiing locations, it is private, fun, and the property managers are top notch! The house is fully equipped for just about anything you want.

Cozy and comfortable!
This house is very comfortable and cozy. The decor and furniture is dated, but the host freely admitted to that, and it wasn’t an issue. If anything, it added to the homeyness of the property. Everything was clean, and the house was well equipped. Michaela was a pleasure to deal with. Very responsive and welcoming. Just a couple of minor quibbles. It wasn’t clear from the listing what the set up of the bedrooms was. Although it does sleep 10, the 4 twin beds are not in real bedrooms - 2 of them are on the mezzanine and 2 are in the game room. There are also 3 bedrooms, each sleeping 2. The shower in the en suite bathroom upstairs has very low water pressure and the temperature is either hot or else it cycles between hot and cold. But the bathroom on the main floor has a much better shower, so I recommend you use that one! We will definitely look to stay here again when we’re in the area.

Pleasant stay
We had a wonderful time spending Labor Day weekend at this cabin. It’s conveniently located to all major attractions near by. The kitchen is perfect for family cooking and baking. Living room is spacious and has a great view from the outside. Property manager responded to all our requests on time and gracious enough to provide what we need. Definitely recommend for summer or winter vacation.

Very Clean, well stocked and responsive
My wife and I stayed here for four nights, very convenient location off main road in between Canaan Valley State Park and Davis. Very well stocked, very clean even though a little dated. Any time we had a question or minor concern, communication was timely, friendly and issue taken care off, for example, coffee pot got clogged one morning a new one was delivered right away. I highly recommend and we look forward to returning
