The property was exactly as advertised! Great place for my dog. It was clean and inviting, the host was welcoming and checked on us throughout the stay. They offered great restaurant suggestions and went above and beyond when I left and important item at the property! Highly recommend!
This is the best spot for a Massanutten Ski Vacation! The host was so accommodating and answered all my calls and texts immediately with any questions or concerns.

Love this place
This was our second time staying here. The house is beautiful and has tons of space. The owners are absolutely wonderful. They messaged to checkin on us and accommodated an early checkin that saved us from traffic. I recommend this place 100%.
3 day weekend of winter sports! Group of 12. The house was a perfect location & plenty of room to spread out. Beds very comfortable & great views. Looking forward to going again!
We traveled with 12 of our family members and had ample room for everyone! The home was clean and spacious for our family! All of our kids and grandchildren had a great time! We really enjoyed being close to the slopes and the great views! We look forward to returning in the future!
The house was clean, easily accessible, and had a great view of the surrounding mountains while being close to the Massanutten resort and amenities. The hosts thoughtfully left recommendations and tips for the area, and were kind and responsive in the time leading up to our stay, during the stay, and as we checked out.
This was a great place for our extended family group to stay during a wedding weekend. Most listings in our budget had too many rooms with multiple beds to allow for privacy. As others have noted, it is not a brand new house but it was clean and had everything we needed. The hosts did an excellent job of replying to questions and sending the check in information.
Overall, the house was the perfect size for our group. An older house but met all of our needs. Quick drive to the slopes and if the weather was good we could have even walked if we wanted too. Communication before check in and during our stay was quick. Would stay here again. Only negative was one of the tvs in the bedrooms would not cut on and one bedroom tv was missing batteries. But not a deal breaker as we only used them at night anyway.

Cute Rustic Home on the Mountain
I've always heard about Massanutten from other families that have children attending JMU. We visited this past weekend for our daughter's graduation. The owner was very helpful and reached out to me prior to my arrive and during our time in his home. We had plenty of space and the home was comfortable for our family of 8. It was a short ride to the JMU campus with plenty of activities and restaurants nearby. It was a fun stay & hope to be back in the future!
We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend at the house. House was exactly as described in reviews and by owner. House is older, but very clean. Beds comfy, but towels could use an upgrade. Kitchen had bare minimum, but again, I was prepared for this and we didn’t need much! (no wine glasses, but we made it work!)
Close to everything- even walked to the restaurant through the woods! Host was responsive and everything in working order! A great trip and excellent for the price tag!
House was fine however does need some work on the deck and instructions for use of the tv, never could get it to work in the living room. Also the ac/heat was a challenge to operate since it got cold and was hard to operate for heat. Some of the lamps were not working either. The driveway parking is very much a challenge as well
We had a wonderful stay in this house at the Massanutten resort. It's a great layout with beautiful surroundings. We visited Luray Caverns and Shenandoah National Park. There are tasty restaurants and a full grocery store within 10-15 minute drive. On property, we enjoyed the pool, go-carts, and bumper cars. We missed the arboretum, golf, and the spa, but that just gives a reason to return.
One recommendation - Linens are included but bring kitchen, bath and pool towels. The largest bath towel in the house was the size I usually use for my hair. No big deal but bring these items if you like to have them.
A great house, responsive owners, and family-fun location!
This is a wonderful place to stay, I got surprised the location, cleanliness of the entire property, and the proximity to all the major activities places.
Our family of 8 all enjoyed this very comfortable, accommodating house! Everyone had comfortable rooms. Great location and walkable distance to Massanutten.

A relaxing and clean place to stay.
I was surprised with the accuracy of details, cleanliness, proximity to all activities, and restaurants in the area. Definitely is a place to return in the future and stay a little longer to recharge energies.
