Thanks, Trip Advisor... We used the reviews here and are so glad we chose unit 309. Everything seemed new - TV, carpet, lamps, etc. Loved staying on the same level as the pool and hottub. The weather wasn't great, and having a pool, hot tub, and exercise room all in one building was fantastic! Would recommend Will o the Wisp,... More

We have stayed in 309 several times and love it! It's on the same level as the indoor pool, hot tubs,and game room which is really convenient. The apartment has some nice homey touches and although the kitchen is small we were able to find what we needed in it. We like being able to spread the family out with... More

We have stayed here three times. We were booked into a loft unit the first time and have requested one each time since then. Very nice, very clean. Lots of fresh towels in the bathroom, a refreshing change from these days of stingy towel distribution. Wonderful view of the lake from the room and balcony. The on-site restaurant in fabulous....

I am writing this review at home ( Pittsburgh) because my husband and I had to flee unit number 711 (loft) due to the heavy smoky smell. Both my husband and I had looked forward to this getaway over the Labor Day weekend and now it was ruined. A call down to the front desk was met with the promise... More

My family has been to snowshoe West Virginia for years in the wintertime for ski trips. After a few bad (overpriced and overcrowded) years we decided to try something different. Will O the Wisp was excellent and we wished we would have started coming here sooner. We rented a full 3 story unit lakeside toward the center of the building... More

Made reservations and the place sounded wonderful....views, fireplace in the room, etc We were "put" in the "annex", in an adjacent motel that was dreadful. No view, no blinds, and basically, depressing. The Will O the Wisp does not serve breakfast or lunch...we traveled 13 miles to find a diner....We did not try the pool nor the other amenities. More

A reviewer just mentioned this - and it's true - each condo has a different owner and you don't know what you're going to get. Ours (#505) was a bit rundown (fine for a beach vacation) and smelled of smoke (not good with kids). We called the front desk and they said the ionizer will take it out. If they... More

While the location of the condo and views of the lake are spectacular make sure to check out the units you are looking to rent before you book. They are individually owned and each condo has a different style of decorating, many not updated in years. Our recent stay in Unit 310 was disappointing. The furniture was missed matched and... More

We spent the first weekend in May here and it was very nice. Had the studio with the loft and it felt like you were sleeping in the clouds. Great view of the lake. The trees were not out yet so we could still see the lake. Later on in the summer it would have been blocked. The pool and... More

My group of friends (in our late 20's) go on an annual ski trip every year. After staying at ski in-out condos at Snowshoe WV (Powderridge Townhomes) a few years and feeling like we were getting gouged we decided to try somewhere else. We were all glad we tried Will O Wisp and I cant stress enough how much better... More
