Ski-In/Out Studio | Sunset Balcony

Highland Vista Studio by LUXSTAYUSA



A west-facing balcony over Skidder slope, where the last light settles on the mountain as the lifts close. This 327-square-foot third-floor studio in Highland House has a queen bed and a queen sleeper sofa, and sleeps four. A gas fireplace, a quartz kitchenette and a renovated walk-in rainfall shower make it a sharp, efficient base. The ground-floor ski locker opens straight onto the snow at the top of Snowshoe Village.



Suited to a couple, or a small family who would rather spend the day on the mountain than in the condo. The studio is compact by design, and the location does the heavy lifting: boots on in the locker room, skis on at the door, dinner a short walk down the plaza.

SEASONAL RESORT AND BUILDING AMENITIES: PLEASE CHECK BEFORE YOU BOOK

Snowshoe is a seasonal mountain resort. Many of its shops, restaurants, activities, lifts and shuttles operate only part of the year. Building amenities such as pools, hot tubs, saunas, fitness rooms, ski lockers and front-desk check-in locations are run by Snowshoe Mountain Resort and the building associations, not by LuxStayUSA, and may be closed for the season, for weather or for maintenance during your stay. We don't control their schedules, so please confirm current hours and availability directly with Snowshoe Mountain Resort before you book. Closures of these third-party facilities don't change your reservation terms.
