Cass house
This house is convenient for Cass, and comfortably slept 5 adults and 2 children with the 3 bedrooms and pull out couch. Keyless entry was great, the wifi was super fast, and beds were comfy. Very close to Greenbrier trail & river for hiking and fishing.

Autumn in Cass
We were very pleased with our stay at the Shay Inn. We were safe, comfortable and were able to spend many pleasant hours at the Inn. The size of the property gave us plenty of room to have alone time, while providing us a place to gather when we wanted. We cooked, we slept, we cooked, we enjoyed the local scenery and activities, we cooked and we spent many hours around the pretty dining room playing games which mom (me) won. We loved our stayed, enjoyed meeting our neighbots and we hope to return soon!

Only thing I'd point out is that I wish it were more clear that the house is not air conditioned, something to consider in June!

A Step Back in Time
We enjoyed our stay in the former company town of Cass. The house felt like staying in our grandmother's house. It was very well equipped. Many of the kitchen utensils and pans looked brand new. We had everything we needed to eat in. The evenings cooled off, so the lack of a/c was not a problem. Internet worked great. The two living areas were very nice - plenty of room in one for all of us, but space to spread out if needed. Kitchen table was great for meals and playing games.

Linens were provided so we didn’t have to bring anything with us. We didn’t need anything fancy so it was perfect. Great WiFi too! Mountain Valley Realty was very good about communicating before heading up.

Warm and Comfortable, not that clean
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 4 stayed at the Shay Inn to ski at Snowshoe, which was about a 20 min. drive. The house was warm and spacious, beds comfortable, but the towels were old and some were not washed at all, but put away dirty or left in the closet dirty. Thankfully, there is a washer and dryer, which we used. The house is an old country house, which is fine, but it has not been updated and was not very clean.

Enjoyed staying in this great old house. Fortunately it was not hot-no AC. Opened windows and ran fans which kept house cool and removed musty odor when we arrived-no big deal. The only cleanliness issue was with cob webs. I removed one which was from DR door by kitchen to rear window and several were on fans. Again not a big deal. We only stayed 3 days, rode the train, saw the telescope, explored waterfalls and there was still more things we could have done. Will have to stay longer next time. Thanks again for allowing us to stay in the home. I might suggest placing some window AC units fo the real hot days/nights.

Big house
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The rental experience itself was perfectly fine - Mountain Valley Realty is helpful and very easy to work with. We stayed her for a ski trip, saving money over being on the mountain at Snowshoe. The house is older and furnished like an older house, but all of the amenities worked just fine. We fit 4 adults and 5 kids without issue (2 kids in beds, 2 on pull-out sofas, and 1 on a couch). Internet works very well; the TV is small. Only 1 bathroom upstairs with the bedrooms; the other is downstairs attached to the kitchen/pantry. Snowshoe is only about 20 minutes away, so much closer than staying in Elkins, but more schlep than staying on the mountain.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First of all, our stay was timed perfectly to enjoy all the beautiful fall colors. The sound of the steam train whistles just added to the flavor of our stay. The Inn was delightful. Clean, comfy and with plenty of room for the four of us to be together, yet enjoy quiet alone time. The inn was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals. We especially enjoyed the dining room where we shared meals and had great fund playing games. (I won!) We sure hope we can return.

Wonderful town
House was great We had the town mostly to ourselves I think because it was during the week. House is big and very comfortable felt like I was at home. We didn't know we did not have to bring anything. They had everything you could think of that you would need. The fans were great but AC in one room would have been nice after hot days riding the trains. Only cleaning issue was a lot of cobwebs especially on the stairs. I didn't realize we would not have cell phone service to call out but that wasn't really an issue since the wifi was great. Overalll a 5 star stay.
