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.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
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.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2024
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!
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
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.
