We had a terrific weekend here. 8 adults, and 10 kids... yet there was plenty of room for all 18 of us, and are already planning to all come back for a do-over next year! The rooms are actually bigger in reality than they appear in the pictures.

Stayed at "The Retreat" in Feb, and had a great time. The house is in a great location in relation to the ski lifts, about 5 min away. Had 10 adults in the group, and had plenty of room for everyone. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone going to enjoy the Massanutten resort!

16 members of my family and friends stayed at the unit during the weekend of Jan. 7-9, 2010. We really enjoyed ourselves. The house rental was right on the massanutten property with no more then a 2 to 4 min drive to the slopes. The house was well put together and we had everything that was needed on the property. The owner was very nice and he accommondated us even though we requested in a short time frame. We would greatly recommend this property to anyone that is looking for a nice get away. The house is located near all attraction on and off the massanutten property. We can wait to revist the property very soon Thank you, William

We stayed here last weekend at the peak of fall colors. We were 6 couples with 6 kids and had a great time here. We loved the open kitchen and living room. The kitchen was well equipped and there were lots of games and DVDs for the kids. The kids loved the bunk beds too. We played a lot of foosball in the game room. They have a covered rear deck which was good for the evenings (no insects because of the mesh). We also had a nice barbecue party one evening. Only if the small bedroom had a queen bed instead of a twin bed, it would have been ideal. The owner gave a very good deal too. So, all in all I would say it is a great place.

Owner response:These guests were a pleasure to work with.

We really enjoyed staying at the Retreat for a weekend in October. 12 adults had plenty of room to spread out. Guys loved the game room. Nicely stocked kitchen and very clean overall. Owner was very helpful in suggesting local restaurants/sites as well and very responsive in answering any questions. A little wear and tear around the edges, but overall great place and would stay here again.

Your house was absolutely perfect for our recent family reunion. There was plenty of room to spread out. The kids (all ages)enjoyed the story-telling around the campfire in the fire pit. The screened porch & front porch allowed us to enjoy the outside. We couldn't have picked a better place. Thanks!

We had a great family get-together. The house was very close to all Massanutten activities. It is quiet, with a beautiful view from the front porch. The rock area and fire pit in back was great fun for the kids and was perfect for an evening bonfire. Very spacious and comfortable home.
