Neighborhood Description -

"You build your own independence with God's earth, rocks and trees," said Adolph Dupre. In 1932, he and his wife Helen spent $13 on 2 1/2 acres of forest and streams that reminded them of their homeland. Over the next 20 years, they built 28 cabins with native stone that Adolph quarried and timber that he felled. In the 1950s, Adolph rigged up a rope tow using an old Packard engine, and skiing took off.

Adolf’s son, Herman, took over management and development of the resort upon Adolf’s death in 1955. Today, the resort's thousands of acres offer recreational pursuits year-round in natural, still-unspoiled surroundings. For an upscale dining experience, make your reservations early at Helen’s Restaurant, the original home of Adolf and Helen Dupre on the resort.

Seven Springs Mountain Resort is located in the beautiful Laurel Highlands of southwestern Pennsylvania and offers skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, golfing, restaurants, lounges, live entertainment, swimming pools (both indoor and outdoor), hot tubs, an Alpine Slide, Alpine Tower, summer tubing, sporting clays, zip lining, bowling, a spa, horseback riding, sleigh rides, roller skating, a game room, indoor miniature golf, disc golf, rock wall, trampolines, chairlift rides, biking, hiking, paddle boats, paddle boards, paintball, fly fishing, gem mining, etc.

And, last but not least, Seven Springs now has Axe Throwing in the Foggy Goggle - the ski lodge bar with 50 beers on tap. Booze and flying axes. What could possibly go wrong?

Vail Resorts, Inc. purchased Seven Springs Mountain Resort on December 31, 2021. Seven Springs is now a part of Vail Resorts' network of 40+ resorts worldwide.

Since Vail Resorts’ purchase, Gregg Frantz of SnowBrains wrote a trip report, dated January 25, 2024, entitled “Seven Springs: Vail Resorts’ Crown Jewel Ski Resort in the Mid-Atlantic Region”. Following is an excerpt:

“Few ski resorts in the Mid-Atlantic offer almost everything a skier or rider could want in a mountain. The region is home to small-to-mid-size ski resorts that have been for most of history independently owned and operated. The region is not blessed with huge verticals, thousands of acres of skiable terrain, or a long ski season. However, sooner or later, every skier or rider accepts the reality that nature provided you with a ski resort and you should be grateful for that, regardless of how high or big the mountain is.

Seven Springs Mountain Resort is a mid-sized ski resort that is located about an hour east of Pittsburgh in the Laurel Highlands off of the PA Turnpike. It was purchased by Vail Resorts in 2022 from Bob Nutting who was the former president and CEO of Seven Spring Mountain Resort. Vail Resorts owns eight Mid-Atlantic ski resorts in Pennsylvania including Seven Springs, Hidden Valley, Laurel Mountain, Jack Frost, and Big Boulder, Liberty Mountain Resort, Roundtop Mountain Resort, and Whitetail Resort.

Quick Facts and History:
o Founded in 1937
o Elevation: 2,994 ft

Seven Springs sits at the top of the list when it comes to the other eight ski resorts in the state of Pennsylvania with size, terrain, trails, lifts, amenities, and lodging. It is the crown jewel of all the Vail Resorts in the Mid-Atlantic region and for good reason. The resort has a dedicated group of locals and draws visitors from Pittsburgh, Washington D.C., Columbus, and Harrisburg, making it a regional destination spot. Seven Springs main hotel can accommodate 5,000 guests and has almost 1,200 condominiums and townhomes while also providing eight personal cottages and fifteen private chalets....”

The Space -

Seven Springs Mt Villas was the original condo development at the resort and was built in the late 1970’s/ early 1980’s by Seven Springs under the direction of Herman Dupre and Jim McClure. Herman and his family were the founders & owners of Seven Springs Mountain Resort. 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 on the hillside adjacent to Seven Springs' Golf Course. Enjoy the beautiful ski slope views, stunning sunsets, and fireworks displays (on special occasions when Seven Springs has fireworks) 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 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. Undercabinet LED lighting was installed. The walls and ceiling were painted.

Updated furnishings and bedding; new kitchen, dining room, hallway, and bathroom light fixtures; a dedicated computer workstation; a combination single serve/ drip coffee maker; additional ceiling LED lighting; a 50” smart HDTV, and a common area security camera were added in 2023.
