About this property

Magnificent Views from the Top-Floor Summit Condo -- Great for Families!

The condo is beautifully decorated and updated regularly. We are able to keep it looking nice with the help of our guests who treat it as if it is their own home! It is not a party place, but a place where one can find some rest and inspiration.

Our vacation home on top of the mountain is perfect for a family who would like to create a special "forever" memory. In the morning, it is as if we are on an island of clouds that gather and eventually settle n the valley. In the evening, the sky is truly fireworks.

Please note that smoking is NOT allowed in our home or in all buildings. Also, pets are NOT allowed in any of the Summit condos with the exception of dogs owned by the owners of the units.

Every year, we try to do something to make it more special. This year, we replaced the bed in the second bedroom. The kitchen and the dining room still look as they did last season. This season, we have a new dining room set! You will absolutely love sharing your meals on a roomy table.

We have three bedrooms (Queen, double and twin/double) and a sofa bed in the living room. As Summit condos will not allow more than eight (8) occupants, please make sure that your group does not exceed this number.

After a long day of skiing, relax by the gas fireplace and, with a glass of wine, watch the most beautiful sunset right from the living room! Summit Condos are known for the beautiful western view. Third-floor condos offer a view over the mountains, looking down at the valley.

Snowshoe Resort is an “upside-down ski resort” with the lodging on top and lifts beginning from the mountaintop (elevation of 4848' with 251 acres of ski-able terrain). That gives us this wonderful mountain view. Snowshoe was once described 'an island in the sky.' In the morning, as the low clouds hover over the valley, we feel as if we are in an ocean, surrounded by islands. Over the years that we have visited our home, no sunrises or sunsets have been the same. It is as if nature erases the canvas during the night for the next day's pleasure!

We have a contract with Ski Barn (at the base and at Silver Creek) to give you a 10% discount on the equipment rental. Just tell them that you are renting our unit.

We appreciate your interest, and we look forward to meeting you via phone or VRBO

Sincerely,

Kei and Michael Gilbert (owners)

Fantastic Vacation!
Our family had a fabulous stay at this condo. We enjoyed a few days on the slopes, some fresh powder, pretty sunrises/sunsets, and wonderful family time. The condo is close to the Village and slopes, fully equipped, clean, and comfortable. Communication with the host was superb. She was most accommodating and kind. We look forward to another visit next year.

Great Ski Lodging
We had a wonderful time staying at the Summit which was right across the street from the village. The unit was a perfect little skiers respite with a homey feel, lots of board games, and plenty of room for the family (and gear). Our host Ki was sweet and responsive when we had a couple of questions. I definitely recommend.

Amazing sunsets and great location!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property for our long weekend at Snowshoe with family and friends. Lodging was clean upon arrival and was within walking distance to the slopes, or could use the free, and short, van ride for transportation. Amazing sunsets which varied each evening. Easy check in and check out process, and great communication with the owners!

We really enjoyed staying at this cozy, well-stocked condo that was very convenient to the slopes, the Village, and parking. Our only regret was not booking it for more nights! Our family of five had plenty of room and we really appreciated the good communication from the owners. Highly recommend this condo!!

Wonderful condo. Amazing view and balcony. Plenty of space. Had everything we needed at the condo and more, including kitchen supplies, games, books, and kids toys. Close to kids and adult ski school check, lockers and slopes. Easy walking distance to village, small grocery, and pizza and gelato. Parking right in front of condo. One flight of stairs to unit. Owners are thoughtful and helpful. Perfect vacation.

Perfect for first time visitors to Snowshoe
I would be remiss if I didn't begin this review with a rave review of the owner, Kei! She was incredibly responsive to all our questions (there were many). Best yet, she was more than accommodating to the last-minute travel plan changes we had to make in response to bad weather! The views from this condo are incredible, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, the fireplace was cozy and inviting, plenty of bath towels, and the wifi worked exceptionally well. Given that Verizon cell service is non-existent in this part of the state, having good wifi was a must for our group. The last thing I'd mention is that some reviewers comment on the stairs--I walked up these stairs every day to go skiing from Expedition Station and I did not think they were difficult at all. Certainly not something that would keep me from booking this condo again for a ski holiday!! Stay here, you won't regret it.

Easy and comfortable stay!
The property was just what we were looking for! No need to move the car for the entire weekend - the slopes are a 5 min walk away. The condo was roomy enough for family time together and for the teens to retreat to have some of their own space. The kitchen is stocked with every gadget you could need and the pantry closet with some "spares" was so helpful when we discovered we forgot syrup, salt, etc. Grocery shopping isn't convenient up there so not having to trek out in the snow for those little things was very much appreciated. The check-in process was easy, the property manager was responsive when we discovered we needed TP and the owners were gracious (and spot on) with advice and directions getting to the property. Overall, the property was perfect for a great family weekend!

Beautiful views
Our stay was perfect with my family. We have stayed in the summit before with its great location and proximity to the slopes (just a short walk) but nothing compares to the view of this property - we had snow and the scenery was beautiful the sunsets with snow were spectacular! Great time will remember always

Convenient Stay Near The Village
This place comfortably fit our family of 4 adults and 2 kids. Located up the stairs and across the street from The Village, it is a convenient 5 minute walk to and from the slopes, restaurants, and shops. We were able to prepare multiple meals with the fully equipped kitchen. The heaters and fireplace provide more than enough heat to stay warm, and the view from the balcony is stunning. Highly recommended!

We just came back from a five night stay at this condo. Everything was as described and we had a wonderful family vacation. The views over the mountains and valley were unspeakably gorgeous.

Family Snowshoe stay at Summit
Our family of 7 (6 adults and 1 teen) had a wonderful stay at Kei’s Summit property. After fog lifted the view was absolutely beautiful. Walk over to slopes wasn’t bad except you do have to walk up steps to get to village. They, however, have a shuttle which will pick you up and take you over if you don’t want to walk with your equipment. Kei was very responsive on all communications and we had no issues.

About the host

Hosted by Kei Gilbert

Host profile image
We are a retired couple living in Virginia (Smith Mountain Lake). Michael still enjoys skiing, but I (Kei) now enjoy just watching the gorgeous view of the mountain whenever we visit. It is now our children and grandchildren's time to ski and to share the same beauty that inspires us.

Why they chose this property

The view. Period. You can go skiing anywhere, but there is something super special about being on top of the mountain, watching the sun setting behind the mountains. The sky slowly changes color (red, orange, pink), as if we are watching acrylic paint being splashed on a three-dimensional canvas. Or, on a calm quiet morning, there is nothing more soothing than seeing low clouds that hover over the valley, with mountain peaks showing their majestic presence. Inspirational!

What makes this property unique

Again, I say that what is so unique is the view from this third-floor Summit condo. You do not have to go to a restaurant to get their best table to watch the sunset. Just enjoy a private view from our living room! Summit condos are spacious and our newly renovated condo will make your stay very special!
