We stayed at the Appalachian in April and were part of a wedding party. Perhaps our expectations were too high, but I felt like i was more let down than accommodated. First, the name of the lodge is very confusing. It goes by multiple names and the sign on the street refers to Mountain Creek, causing many of us to... More

The Appalachian Hotel at Mountain Creek is exceptional for East Coast skiing. We have stayed there many times and continually enjoy each visit. The setting is unique in the East - certainly in the mid-Atlantic...It's proabably the only place where you can stay in Colorado-like accomodations (post-and-beam, fireplaces, etc) with outdoor pool and hot-tubs slope side, literally steps away from...

I took my wife and three kids for a ski adventure and enjoyed every minute! The staff at the Appalacian was more than efficient and friendly in all thier responsibilities. We arrived on a Sunday and had lunch at Taco Hombre - excellent! Decided not to ski with the Sunday crowd and took a dip in the outdoor pool and... More

My 2 girlfriends and I went to the Appalachian for a snowboarding getaway and we had an incredible time! Make sure you check out Kites Restaurant after 10 for dancing and drinks, Irish Cottage Inn (which is 10 minutes away but soooo worth it), and The Mixing Bowl Restaurant on Church St because the breakfast is BANGIN' :) The beds...

Checked in yesterday, Dec. 29, 2011 to find that in our unit, although very nice, had no cable, no internet, and phone service was out! We were told that maintenance would be right over to fix the problem. An hour later we called and was informed that maintenance left at 4pm. They moved us to another unit which was like... More

10 of us stayed here to help restore power in the area. This COULD be a beautiful place, but it has problems right now. We waited 35 minutes for someone to come to the desk and check us in. The young man finally came out of the elevator with nis young blonde girlfriend. Our room had no telephone, we stayed... More

The Appalachian is located in the remote town of Vernon where there is nowhere decent to eat and nothing to do in the off season. The front desk staff was bored, unhelpful, and not very friendly. The Appalachian has been under construction for several years and still isn't finished yet. There's no food offered on-site--not even a continental breakfast--and the... More

Our suite at the Appalachian was nice. The kitchen well equipped and there were plenty of towels. The underground garage is a plus for winter guests, you won't come out to find a snowed in car and the garage is heated. However, besides the pool facilities (includes hot tub and sauna) there is nothing....no restaurants, no bar, no activities, no... More

Appalachian/Black Creek Sanctuary is the only game in town in Vernon, NJ. Basically we were obligated to stay here to attend a wedding at Ballyowen Golf Club. The preferred room rate for wedding guests for Appalachian was $220! Really, this is Vernon, NJ not NYC! Even tried to Priceline a room, nope. Opted for the two bedroom townhouse at Black... More
