Ballhooter Skyline Penthouse by LUXSTAYUSA
A top-floor penthouse in Allegheny Springs, where a vaulted ceiling rises over a stone gas fireplace and nothing sits above you but the roof. The one bedroom holds a king and a full bed, with a pullout sofa in the living room, sleeping six. A tiled walk-in shower, a kitchen with bar seating and a private balcony. Ski-in/ski-out in Village Central, about 200 yards from the Ballhooter lift.
