The questions we get texted most, answered for this home.
Getting to the slopes
A five-minute walk to the Village and the Ballhooter lift, or the free resort shuttle from the stop at the Summit.
Parking
Two cars in front of any Summit building, first come first served. We leave two hang-tag parking passes in the condo; hang one from each mirror. Paid overflow lot near the Village ($20 a day) or free at Top of the World, a two-minute drive.
Check-in
Self check-in with a keypad. Your door code arrives in your check-in message two days before you arrive (in the app you booked with, or by email if you booked direct) and appears in your Guest Lounge at 8 AM on check-in day. Check-in 4:00 PM, check-out 10:00 AM.
Groceries
Wildcat grocery is right up the driveway, a five-minute walk, or about a minute if you drive. Dollar General in Slaty Fork, about 15 minutes, is what we actually use for a real grocery run, good enough for most of a week. Full grocery in Marlinton, about 30 to 40 minutes, or Elkins, about an hour.
Pets
No pets at this home (condo association rule). Both Timbers homes welcome dogs, or other pets, for the same fee. Service animals are welcome at every home, with no fee. Please tell us before you arrive so we can let the HOA know, and we may ask what task the animal is trained to perform.
House rules
No parties. Up to 8 guests, including children. Guests not included in the reservation are $50 per person per night. No fires except in the shared HOA fire pit outside, between the C and B buildings. Bring your own logs and put it out cold. All house rules.
Cancellation
Full refund within 48 hours of booking if check-in is 30 or more days out. Full refund minus $100 at 60 or more days, 50% at 30 to 59 days, nothing inside 30 days. No refunds or credits for weather; travel insurance is your protection. Strict on purpose: our homes book out months ahead, and a firm calendar is how a cancellation never costs another family the dates they wanted. Details.
Smoking
Smoking and vaping are allowed outside only, away from doors and decks. Please leave no cigarette butts anywhere, especially outside. If there is any smoke smell inside the home, a $500 smoking fee applies. We are strict about this.
Winter driving
AWD or 4WD recommended December through March. Chains are rarely needed; we have never seen a guest need them.
