Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about winter stays in the Laurel Highlands.

Do I need snow tires or chains?

All-wheel drive is recommended December through March. Snow tires are helpful but not required. Our properties have plowed driveways and parking.

What's the check-in process in winter?

Self check-in with smart locks. We provide detailed directions and will text you road conditions if there's active snowfall.

Where can I store ski gear?

All our ski-friendly properties have dedicated gear storage—mudrooms, heated garages, or boot drying areas.

Are the roads to your properties maintained?

Yes! Somerset County is excellent at snow removal. Main roads are cleared quickly, and we ensure private roads are plowed.

What if there's a big storm during my stay?

We monitor weather closely and communicate proactively. If conditions are truly dangerous, we work with you on flexible rebooking.
