THE SHAY INN
A historic 3-bedroom, 2-bath home (sleeps 8) in the heart of Cass Scenic Railroad State Park. Sleeping arrangements include a queen (BR #1), full (BR #2), full (BR #3), plus sleeper sofas in both the den and living room.
Built in 1911 using timber from the former Cass mill, The Shay Inn reflects the town's roots as a turn-of-the-century logging community and is named in honor of the old dining car that the current owner's family ran during the early days of Cass's transition from lumber town to tourist destination.
Step outside to the 78-mile Greenbrier River Trail, walk to the Cass Scenic Railroad Depot, or visit the Cass Company Store and its welcoming in-house dining at The Last Run Restaurant, a favorite stop for hearty meals after a day in the mountains.
Nearby highlights include the Green Bank Observatory a 10 minute drive and Snowshoe Mountain Ski Resort, just 15 minutes from the property.

    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.

    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.

    Good for large groups who can tolerate imperfect housing. Old and creaky. Odd pantry/bath layout. Dated appliances kicked breaker. DW ancient. Two of four good beds. Inclosed porch a plus for bikes and such. Furnature otherwise good.

    Very comfortable place. The fridge doesn’t seem to be working quite right. Our ice cream melted in the freezer but we still had a great 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.

    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.

    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!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fantastic house, well appointed with items anyone would need for a long stay. Only thing I'd point out is that I wish it were more clear that the house is not air conditioned, something to consider in June!
