House was nice and clean and had everything you’d need for a weekend getaway! The host was pleasant and available for any questions we had. The arcade room was a huge bonus for my 11 year old! Location was great as well, close to all the fun activities we had planned for the weekend.

Great Mountain House

Our family came to the area to visit Shenandoah National Park. This was a great place to stay toward the middle of the park that had beautiful drives in every direction. The house was very clean and our kids LOVED the game room!

We had such a wonderful trip and stay at the Pistachio Nut. Michael was super helpful and welcomed us to show us around. This is better than any other rental you will find, hands down. Not just for the arcade room which will blow you away. We will definitely stay there again.

Cannot give enough stars to this property and property owner! The home is spotless, newly renovated, and very spacious. Property owner had so many thoughtful provisions throughout the home that were perfect. Easy check-in/out steps too.

Loved our stay at The Pistachio Nut

Had a great experience staying at The Pistachio Nut. Mike, the owner, was friendly and easy to communicate with. I had a couple questions before our trip, and they were answered very timely. The house itself was very nice. Clean, comfortable, had everything we needed. Loved the arcade room. We were there for a JMU graduation, and it was an easy distance to campus. Highly recommend!

Great stay!

We had the best time at the pistachio nut. This was probably one of the cleanest properties we’ve ever stayed at. Beds were comfy, kitchen was fully stocked and the arcade was a blast. The property manager did meet us and gave us a tour before heading off. It was actually very nice and he was an extremely pleasant individual. We will definitely be back next year!

Relaxing weekend getaway

The Pistachio Nut was a great location for our family to get together for an event at James Madison University. The property was immaculate and comfortable and our adult kids loved the video games. This was not our first visit to Massanutten but we would definitely return. The owners were easy to communicate with and very helpful. Highly recommended.

Amazing visit

First of all let me just say that the property was immaculate, inside and out! We received a warm welcome from Mike who gave us a detailed tour of the property. There was an attention to detail, right down the the condiments in the cupboards. The location was very convenient to a number of eateries and scenic spots. I would highly recommend this property if you’re looking for a clean, spacious place to stay.

Magical mountain retreat

Mike's "Pistachio Nut' was awesome. The house was very clean, and we loved the game room down stairs. It had many of the popular video games my wife and I played in the 80's. The outside gas firepit was a nice feature we enjoyed. We are already looking at our schedule for next fall to book the "Pistachio Nut" again. Thanks again Mike for your magical mountain retreat.
