We loved the property; there were 6 of us staying for a few day ski trip and celebrating our daughter's 18th birthday. The house is very welcoming, comfortable, and charming. The house was very clean and warm after a cold day of skiing:). We brought in our food which worked out perfectly as there are no real food markets near by. The kitchen is well stocked, the beds were very comfortable, the rooms spacious. The location worked well, snowshoe is only 15-20min drive away, and there is a lovely river behind the property with a trail. We loved the Cass store and it's old world charm. The hosts are very responsive and helpful with information about the house and the area.

First the the good. The interior is clean and my wife calls it cozy. It is spacious and comfortable. The down side are the systems. The house is in need of a repairman to fix a number of items Each by themselves is not bad but in total it was annoying and should not exist at the price charged. The entrance gates was full of lichens dust the flagstone needs sweeping the porch rails are dirty and the porch is in need of paint. On the inside some electric outlets provide no contact to plugs. the kitchen sink faucet has a loose base. The lamp in the northwest bedroom is broke, loose wires. Should not be used. The dishwasher did not pump out on the last cycle and flooded the floor. The front porch needed sweeping. I repaired the flapper valve of the upstairs toilet tan with a wire tie. Need a stainless wire, as my fis will soon rust through. I felt I should have brought my tools and start fixing things.

A Step Back in Time

We enjoyed our stay in the former company town of Cass. The house felt like staying in our grandmother's house. It was very well equipped. Many of the kitchen utensils and pans looked brand new. We had everything we needed to eat in. The evenings cooled off, so the lack of a/c was not a problem. Internet worked great. The two living areas were very nice - plenty of room in one for all of us, but space to spread out if needed. Kitchen table was great for meals and playing games.

Cass house

This house is convenient for Cass, and comfortably slept 5 adults and 2 children with the 3 bedrooms and pull out couch. Keyless entry was great, the wifi was super fast, and beds were comfy. Very close to Greenbrier trail & river for hiking and fishing.

Perfect place for a vacation/getaway

We went skiing at Snowshoe and this place was the perfect mix of amenities and affordability. The inn has a vintage and cozy feel to it, with lots of bedding options for large group. Highly recommend!

Autumn in Cass

We were very pleased with our stay at the Shay Inn. We were safe, comfortable and were able to spend many pleasant hours at the Inn. The size of the property gave us plenty of room to have alone time, while providing us a place to gather when we wanted. We cooked, we slept, we cooked, we enjoyed the local scenery and activities, we cooked and we spent many hours around the pretty dining room playing games which mom (me) won. We loved our stayed, enjoyed meeting our neighbots and we hope to return soon!

Wonderful town

House was great We had the town mostly to ourselves I think because it was during the week. House is big and very comfortable felt like I was at home. We didn't know we did not have to bring anything. They had everything you could think of that you would need. The fans were great but AC in one room would have been nice after hot days riding the trains. Only cleaning issue was a lot of cobwebs especially on the stairs. I didn't realize we would not have cell phone service to call out but that wasn't really an issue since the wifi was great. Overalll a 5 star stay.

Pops-June 2019

Enjoyed staying in this great old house. Fortunately it was not hot-no AC. Opened windows and ran fans which kept house cool and removed musty odor when we arrived-no big deal. The only cleanliness issue was with cob webs. I removed one which was from DR door by kitchen to rear window and several were on fans. Again not a big deal. We only stayed 3 days, rode the train, saw the telescope, explored waterfalls and there was still more things we could have done. Will have to stay longer next time. Thanks again for allowing us to stay in the home. I might suggest placing some window AC units fo the real hot days/nights.
