Awesome Cabin

The Nut Haus is a fun cabin with tons of character. The location is close to all of the activities Massanutten has to offer, but is well equipped for entertainment if you're feeling like a night in. My son didn't want to leave!

Weekend Getaway

This place was a wonderful weekend getaway option. The house was very clean and I loved the way the owners decorated this house. It was what drew me to want to book here. There were many activities nearby, and the hot tub was definitely a bonus! 10/10 would recommend for 2-3 people.

Quick getaway from home

This was a cozy little property. Probably best for 3-4 people or less. Convenient to Massanutten pools, water park, fitness center and other attractions. I wish the resort area had more areas to walk. We tried a short nature trail near the playground, but was hoping for more walking/hiking areas down lower rather then the more advanced ones at the top of the mountain.

JMU Graduation

The Nut Haus lived up to its name! We had a fun weekend celebrating our new graduate. We prefer to stay away from the hustle and bustle near campus and this was the perfect mountain retreat 25 minutes away. It’s every bit as cozy and charming as the listing describes.

Jmu Family Weekend in the Treehouse

We wanted to stay in a house close by JMU with our dogs so that our daughter could visit with us instead of a hotel. Price was better than the hotels! I called it the treehouse because it felt like we’re sleeping in a treehouse. Round with floor to ceiling windows all around! Clean, quaint but perfect for family of 4 with dogs. Wish we had a couple younger kids that would have enjoyed the basement. Nice quiet neighborhood watching wildlife off the porch around the fire pit was a plus!!! Would love to come again.

Needs some attention to outdoor spaces . I believe gutters may need cleaning as when it rained water came out over gutters . Back deck had small debris and spider webs. Inside was clean and no issues. Sliding door off kitchen was difficult to open and close.

Fun Little Cabin

We enjoyed our time at the NutHause. It was a wee bit small for 6 people, though. 4 would have been perfect.The owner was very flexible when we had to make a few changes to our reservation, for which were quite thankful.We loved all the windows, and sitting on the deck.
