We enjoyed our stay here. Great location and property managers were quick to respond. We did have a little hiccup getting into the property upon arrival, but Manish was responsive and assisted us in gaining entry very quickly.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo in Snowshoe! The location is perfect, right in the heart of the village, and the balcony overlooking the center of the village was one of our favorite features. It was beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing, with a great atmosphere and everything just steps away. The condo was comfortable and a perfect place to unwind after exploring Snowshoe. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Perfect Pied A Terre for a business trip.<br/>I was attending a convention in Las Vegas. I don’t like staying in casinos. I just want to have a quiet place to sleep. (I know - this is the opposite of why most people go to Vegas.). Manish’s place is in the Signature which is located next to the MGM. It’s a short walk to the restaurants at the MGM but otherwise avoids the casino.<br/>One note - it has mandatory valet parking. This isn’t a problem during the week, but it gets filled at the busiest weekend times. This can be a problem if they can’t park your car. You have to park at the MGM self park which is a bit of a walk.
