Featuring 100 studio, 1 and 2 bedroom condominium hotel units with gas fireplaces, fully equipped kitchens or kitchenettes, stunning mountain and valley views and wireless internet, The Appalachian will be the region’s premier mountain resort getaway and our pass holder’s new home away from home. The Appalachian will also cater to small meetings, conferences and special events, bringing a sense of adventure and natural beauty that ordinary conference centers and hotels cannot duplicate.
