BOTH: Thank you!

DESK CLERK: You're welcome.

JIM: Corduroy Inn and Lodge is a privately owned, family-owned business.

The family bought it back in 2014, and seen a need for more of a luxury-type stay.

We are about a five-minute walk to the Village, it's directly across from Cupp Run and Shay's Revenge, which are our black diamonds, and it's also adjacent to Powder Monkey Lift, which is our blues and greens.

Busy ski season is shoulder-to-shoulder, everybody coming from all walks of life, all over the world here to stay, and you can get such a cool mix of people here at Corduroy.

And then, for summer, it's fantastic here.

Because mountain biking is huge in the summertime.

Of course, we have the stables and razor tours and the lake, and Cass train.

The perfect getaway is just being in nature.

So the inn was built in the mid-70s, and it was kind of grandfathered in.

And then it was purchased by the owners and completely remodeled.

And then they built the lodge here in 2019 and 20, that's added 30 more rooms.

Lauren and Laurita are staying in our two-bedroom, two-bathroom suite.

And it's got the better of the views because of all the Allegheny mountains.

LAUREN: Ooh.

LAURITA: Ohh my gosh.

This is beautiful!

LAUREN: This is so nice!

LAURITA: And look at the kitchen!

LAUREN: Nice size.

LAURITA: Modern, clean.

And look at that little coffee maker, cuz you know I like a good cup of coffee... LAUREN: Don't I know it.

LAURITA: Or some tea.

LAUREN: This whole thing is just giving mountain vibes.

Like, are we in the mountains?

LAURITA: Oh, we're in the mountains!

LAUREN: I think so!

LAURITA: Wow.

LAUREN: Alright, should we go check out the rooms?

LAURITA: Yes.

LAUREN: Okay.

Ooh, and they have a washer and dryer, too!

LAURITA: Bonus points.

LAUREN: Oh, this room is nice.

LAURITA: I love it, it is nice.

LAUREN: This is perfect for me, I'll take this one.

LAURITA: I agree, I agree.

LAUREN: I like it, a nice little bed.

LAURITA: Alright, let's go see my stuff, on this side.

LAUREN: Alright.

LAURITA: Oh, Lauren, equally perfect for me.

LAUREN: I know, this is a nice room for you.

LAURITA: This is nice, and a lovely view.

LAUREN: Okay, I've been out all day, I think it is time for us to go head to Appalachia Kitchen.

LAURITA: I'm ready, cause I'm hungry.

LAUREN: Alright, let's go.

LAURITA: Okay.

SCOTT: The Corduroy Inn offers three dining options.

We have Tuque's Bar and Grill, which is casual American food.

Burgers, sandwiches, salads.

We also have The Pizza Slice, which is our carryout brick oven pizza.

We're serving homemade dough, all of our same local ingredients.

And then the last is the Appalachia Kitchen.

We're one of only a few fine dining options on Snowshoe Mountain.

It's still kind of a casual environment, we have plenty of people that come in in their ski gear, and you can see the skiers, you can see the chairlifts, it's all right here.
