We were impressed with every detail of our stay. Great communication prior, during and after our stay. The house is amazing. Million dollar view and lots of space for us all to relax after long days hiking in the mountains and enjoying the local area. Thanks for exceeding our expectations, April!

We had a beautiful winter weekend at Kettle View Lodge. The views from this home are truly breath taking. We were lucky enough to get some snow while we were there that enhanced the winter views all the more...

April's place was perfect! My friends and I are JMU alumni that wanted to return to the area for the weekend. The house had a fully stocked kitchen and plenty of beds for all of us. We enjoyed the porches and the views especially. We would definitely stay again!

The house certainly met all our needs. Sitting on the back you could see the ski slopes. They were making snow and several deer were grazing behind the house.

We did a family vacation at Kettle View Lodge. 7 adults and 4 children between 2 & 6. The home was lovely, the views were spectacular and our hosts were quick to respond with any question or needs. The resort in itself has a lot to offer but we had plenty to do at the house with the game room and decks. Highly recommend this property for anyone traveling to the atea

Three families with 6 adults and 7 kids stayed at the house for four nights. It was everything we needed and wanted. The bunk room is huge with a common space beside it for movie watching. The main level is spacious but not massive so it gives a comfortable cozy feeling. The view is unbeatable! The hosts were so friendly, quick to respond and helpful. The driveway is big enough to park cars side by side and they don’t bottom out like so many mountain side driveways. We would definitely come back if we ever wanted to explore Shenandoah Park or JMU again.

Location was perfect - great views of the mountains and the slopes! Lots of indoor and outdoor space; driveway and garage were great - parking for several vehicles was no issue. Owners were easy to reach and did a great job keeping us informed when snow threatened to delay our check in. Would highly recommend and would stay here again!

This is a great place to stay! We had plenty of room, everything we needed, and the owners were communicative and helpful. The two decks in the back both had beautiful views. We had some rain the week we stayed, and especially appreciated that the lower deck stays dry so we could still sit outside. It is close to fun activities for the kids, hiking and restaurants. Comfortable place to stay. Highly recommend!

The pictures do not do this place justice. The home and the property are stunning. This was the perfect mountain vacation for our family. The host, April, was extremely helpful and kind throughout the check-in process, our stay, and the check-out process. Highly recommend!

This mountain home is fantastic! Eleven of us, 3 generations (ages 7 to 62 ), had an amazing time. Close to all resort activities, yet you feel as if you are in the clouds. This home has everything you need and the layout is perfect for gathering yet proudes privacy and space. Can’t wait to return!!!

The view from the deck is beautiful. The deck has a gas fire and seating for 8+ people, perfect for watching the sunrise and relaxing in the evening. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty to dishes, cookware, baking pans and a crockpot. There were even extra coolers in the garage, which was nice when we hiked and took a picnic lunch. We would definitely love to come back again.

A family getaway to celebrate. So glad we found the Kettle View Lodge. I saw the picture of the view on VRBO and did not look ant further. Surprisingly, the actual view is far superior to the picture. Everything about the experience was a 10! Great house, great hosts, great golf course almost walking distance from the house. We will definitely go back.

The host & hostess were so good to work with. The property was very clean and well equipped. The layout was perfect to allow space for all 10 of us to get together and space for each of our 4 families to have a little separation. We enjoyed the deck. The view was outstanding. The resort had a lot of options to keep people busy. We would go back in a minute!

The house was even better than we expected. The views were outstanding. What I enjoyed the most was sitting outside enjoying the view. It was very peaceful and quiet. The only noise was from the birds chirping. A great getaway to be able to relax and enjoy the outdoors. There were plenty of trails nearby for hiking and there was plenty of other activities available.

Property is great for all age groups, well equipped with great indoor and outdoor space. Outside patio on lower level and deck on upper level provides more than required space for a large group to enjoy the stunning view of the valley. Property was clean. All beds, couches and furniture were comfortable. I was always well informed about check in and check out instructions.
