                            Thank you to the owners for helping us plan for our sons graduation and sharing their beautiful home with us. Perfect location, perfect weather, home immaculate with great view, lots of windows, huge bedrooms, fun hot tub, and everything we needed stocked, made packing a breeze! It was nice to avoid the busy streets and hotels in Harrisonburg. Enjoyed waking up to the sound of the babbling brook out back, sipping our coffee on the deck, and was a quick drive to great restaurants, and very close to JMU!

                            We arrived at night, but were pleasantly surprised with the look and feel of the place - they even took the time to label the light switches. In the morning the Zen journey continued with some wonderful sitting areas. We also were able to cook, grill and get into the outdoor hot tub. Good time for all.

                            Our family (2 adults and 3 children) had a wonderful stay at "The Nut." The house was perfect! The large, well stocked kitchen, wonderful bright seating areas, and private Jacuzzi were wonderful. We loved the convenience of bringing our luggage and groceries straight from the car into the house without walking up stairs! The ski mountain and the water park are only minutes away (so close that we came back to the house for lunch and a rest midday). The owners were also very nice and treated us like old friends! We can't wait to return!

                            This was our first time taking our 3 boys to Massanutten. "The Nut House" made our weekend even better. The ammenities provided by the owners of this fabulous property were awesome. The hot tub gave my husband and I a much needed break once we got the kids to bed. My 10 year old let me know repeatedly how much fun he was having and even said it was better than Disney World! When considering a rental property for your Massanutten stay, you should definitely check into the "Nut House". The owners of this property are great people to deal with.

                            Our family loved our stay at The Nut! The Nut is a very spacious home that is great for relaxing after a fun-filled day at Massanutten. The home has a very open floor plan with lots of windows for a great view of the surrounding woods. The hot tub provided a great escape before/after dinner, which can be prepared in the fully-equipped kitchen! Not having to pack all of the paper goods and linens was an added bonus given that all of those items are graciously provided by the owners. We will stay at The Nut again in a heartbeat!

                            we had our children and grandchildren w/ us for a weekend away at this lovely home in a perfect location. had never been to massanutten. it's got lots of activities for all ages and interests. the house was just right for our group of 5 adults and 2 little ones. the hot tub was a welcome and relaxing addition. the games and toys were great, too. the deck was a perfect setting, looking out over the woods. i particularly liked the kitchen, which was well stocked and supplied. i only had to bring the food!

                            My parents, my sister and her husband, my nephew and I all met in Massanutten for a weekend get together. My favorite thing about the house is that there are windows everywhere looking out to the surrounding trees. The back deck is a great place for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The bed downstairs is really large and the room upstairs with the twin beds is great. However, if you are a couple and plan on sleeping in the double upstairs it is a rather small bed for two people. There were plenty of games available and everything you need for cooking. I would absolutely return.

                            Wow! What a great time we had here on spring break! Mass resort has so many things to do but what we enjoyed most was just hanging out and reconnecting as a family. This house made us feel right at home. Equipped With so many relaxing things to do, the kids just wanted to stay here and have the parents all to themselves. We did, however, enjoy the waterpark! We will def return knowing that we have yet to conquer this resort and that we have the perfect spot to stay! Thank you!
