About this property

Heart of Massanutten Mountainside Retreat, Summer Fun for the Whole Family

  • Welcome to your perfect year-round escape in the heart of Massanutten Resort! Nestled among the trees in our privately owned spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home blends comfort, fun, and unbeatable access to the best of the resort, just steps from the slopes and tubing hill on Massanutten’s only ski-out street.

    Upstairs, you’ll find two comfy bedrooms, a full bath, and a convenient washer and dryer. Downstairs features an open-concept living and dining area, a fully stocked kitchen, and the primary suite with a full bath. Both the dining room and the primary bedroom open onto a back deck with a beautiful view, perfect for grilling, outdoor dining, watching the deer or simply relaxing in the mountain air.

    When it’s time for fun, we have plenty to do in our house! Challenge friends to the stand-up arcade game, play a round of ping-pong with the portable set or a round of games with the board games we provide.

    Beyond the door, adventure awaits you in every season. In winter, ski and tube just steps away. In warmer months, enjoy hiking, golf, zip-lining, mountain biking, horseback riding, go-karts, mini-golf, and the resort’s incredible indoor water park. The scenic Shenandoah River is just 5 miles away and is ideal for kayaking, tubing, or fishing.

    Whether you’re seeking a cozy winter getaway, watching the leaves change in fall, enjoying spring blossoms or a summer mountain adventure, our Massanutten get away has everything you need for a memorable stay.

Great spot

This house is perfect for a ski trip. The location is right next to the resort and has convenient ski slope access. The property was clean upon arrival and the check-in process was very easy. The property manager is very responsive to messages and gave clear instructions for check-in. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location and view!

Loved our stay. We had 2 adults and 4 kids. Tons of space for everyone. We loved the cabin feel, it's 1 minute from snow tubing, skiing and activities. Back patio looks out to the snow tubing. We had a great time and will definitely come back.

Ski Trip

We chose Massanutten based off of it being the central location of all of us. The listing looked great and was the perfect size, so we booked! Unit was beyond perfect. You cannot beat the location with views of the slopes and ability to walk onto the hills! We had a great time and are very likely to return in the future!

Family getaway

Stayed with our 10 month old and a dog. It was a great amount of space and separation between the rooms so little one could sleep undisturbed. Cute and cozy property with all the standard amenities you could need. Location within the resort was great, close to activities and restaurants but also private and quiet. Would stay here again!

Fun cabin for families

I rented this property so that my tween son could have a special celebration weekend with his 2 closest friends. We couldn’t have chosen a better place! The linens were very clean, beds comfortable, and kitchen well-equipped, but the kids were most delighted by the thoughtful toys spread about for them to find. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable stay!

"We had a fantastic stay at Mary’s cozy Condo! The location was perfect for skiing and snow tubing , walking distance to the slopes , the space was impeccably clean, and the host was incredibly responsive to our questions. The comfortable bed with doorway to balcony overlooking the snow tubing , ski slopes and Mountains was breathtaking. The well-stocked kitchen made us feel right at home.
