10 of us stayed here to help restore power in the area. This COULD be a beautiful place, but it has problems right now. We waited 35 minutes for someone to come to the desk and check us in. The young man finally came out of the elevator with nis young blonde girlfriend. Our room had no telephone, we stayed... More

The Appalachian is located in the remote town of Vernon where there is nowhere decent to eat and nothing to do in the off season. The front desk staff was bored, unhelpful, and not very friendly. The Appalachian has been under construction for several years and still isn't finished yet. There's no food offered on-site--not even a continental breakfast--and the... More

Our suite at the Appalachian was nice. The kitchen well equipped and there were plenty of towels. The underground garage is a plus for winter guests, you won't come out to find a snowed in car and the garage is heated. However, besides the pool facilities (includes hot tub and sauna) there is nothing....no restaurants, no bar, no activities, no... More

Appalachian/Black Creek Sanctuary is the only game in town in Vernon, NJ. Basically we were obligated to stay here to attend a wedding at Ballyowen Golf Club. The preferred room rate for wedding guests for Appalachian was $220! Really, this is Vernon, NJ not NYC! Even tried to Priceline a room, nope. Opted for the two bedroom townhouse at Black... More

Three kids (23 - 16 -8) and two parents spent three nights in Black Creek for a family get-away. Three bedroom lower level unit was ideal. More than enough TV's for watching and x-box playing. Highlight was a day at Mountain Creek water park (we purchased the tickets with our room). The kids loved the action rides. Mom watched and... More

A beautiful resort each room has a full kitchen & balcony awesome views. Black creek is for a large family or several families as they are bi-level units complete with fireplace kitchen laundry. The town does not offer much other than skiing & a few great spas and 2 great restaurants. The resort is adding a restaurant this winter. All... More

The location was perfect. The staff was helpful and friendly. The facility was clean and the room was comfortable. What more could you ask for? More

We stayed at the Appalachian resort during the 2009-2010 season (last year) and had a great time. The hotel was beautiful, service was great, and it met all of our needs. The hotel offered a fantastic breakfast to hotel guests on Sunday morning which was great. The only down side of the entire weekend was that the pool house looked... More

We were there for an overnight golf trip. The rooms are considered suites which were adequate with a small kitchenette area but don't expect them to look like the picture on the website. They are slightly larger than a regular hotel room. The other couple with us was given a room overlooking construction and inoperable air conditioning, not good in... More
