Looking for any suggestions on overnight lodging close to Blue knob. Maybe heading up there for two days in the next week.

My mid week stay at the facilities in Blue Knob was very reasonable. The condos about a mile away have kitchens, a pool and jacuzzi, and were reasonable. Don't know about the weekend rates. There is an actual restaurant across the parking lot too.

1 bedroom midweek 150$ for 1 night, two nights 190$

We stayed at the Hampton in Bedford Thursday nite. Plenty of other choices there, twenty five minute drive to the ski area, take the second exit for blue knob on I99, follow the car in front of you, it's not very well marked.
