The Space -
Seven Springs Mt Villas was the original condo development at the resort and were built in the late 1960’s/ early 1970’s under the direction of Herman Dupre and Jim McClure. I was a season renter in Building 1 when it was newly constructed and bought my first Mt Villas condo shortly after.
Mt Villas condos are nestled in the hillside adjacent to Seven Springs' Golf Course. Enjoy the beautiful ski slope front views, stunning sunsets, and fireworks displays (on special occasions when Seven Springs has fireworks - typically Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, etc.) from the front balcony, living room, and/or dining room of Mt Villas Condo 1C4. Enjoy happy hour and the fresh mountain air on the front balcony overlooking the ski slopes or on the rear balcony overlooking the golf course.
Mt Villas Condo 1C4 has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, living room, dining room, ample closet space, and is fully furnished. It sleeps 6 (with 1 king bed and 2 ladder end bunk beds); and has Wi-Fi, cable TV, a DVD player, and a 55" HDTV. Mountain Villas 1C4 is pet friendly, has whole house A/C, whole house gas heat, and rain showerheads.
Mt Villas Condo 1C4 was remodeled in April/ May 2022. Upgrades include new kitchen cabinets & countertops and new bathroom vanities & vanity tops; hand-built and installed by the Amish. True to the character of the Laurel Highlands, we went with a rustic theme. The cabinets and vanities are made from character hickory. The countertops are made from reclaimed oak barn wood. Porcelain floor tile was installed throughout; resembling native stone.
Mt Villas Condos have a community swimming pool and children's play area.
Outdoor parking is available in front of and on both sides of the building. Enter the door numbered 1C. Go up 21 steps (1 ½ flights). Condo 1C4 will be on your left.
Seven Springs’ Main Lodge and Ski Lodge are located about 1 mile from the condo. There is complimentary round trip shuttle bus service to Seven Springs’ Main Lobby, or you can drive. Seven Springs' Shuttle Service is on call year-round.
