The questions we get texted most, answered for this home.
Getting to the slopes
Walk to the Soaring Eagle Express from the Timbers neighborhood; the lift is a short walk and the bike wash is on the way.
Parking
Two dedicated spaces labeled #3, one on each side of the driveway. Overflow at Top of the World, $20 a day.
Check-in
Self check-in with a smart lock. Your code arrives the morning of check-in. Check-in 4:00 PM, check-out 10:00 AM.
Groceries
Wildcat grocery at the Village, about a two-minute drive, for basics. 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, so stock up on the drive in.
Pets
Dogs welcome with a $250 pet fee paid at booking. Cats, birds, and other pets are welcome too, at the same fee, just tell us what you're bringing.
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.
Winter driving
AWD or 4WD recommended December through March. Chains are rarely needed; we have never seen a guest need them.
