Great rental house for skiing, snowboarding, and tubing in the winter. Summertime offers chairlift rides, fantastic hiking, mountain biking, golf, motorcycle touring, children's programs, canoeing and tubing trips on the Shenandoah River, and more. The cottage is located at Massanutten Resort near Harrisonburg, Virginia. It has both easy access to the ski area and to the water park. We have purchased a summer pass to the outdoor property owners' pool for our guests. Guests can go to the pool for a $5 per person entry fee (kids under 5 free). We have wireless internet access and a computer for guest use. Our computer has links to local activities, dining, and shopping. We also have a notebook with our favorite local things to do including restaurants, outdoor activities, and shopping.
Check out our Facebook page (link below) for more pictures.
Massanutten Cottage has three bedrooms and two full baths. Upstairs, there is a queen-size bed in one bedroom with a futon couch (suitable for one small child), and a full-size bed with a single pop-up trundle in the other upstairs bedroom. The downstairs bedroom has two twin beds that can be converted into a king. When you set up your rental you will specify which arrangement you would prefer for the downstairs bedroom. Linens and towels are provided.
The cottage has a modern kitchen and all the pans and utensils that you may require. A large combined dining and living area makes for a comfortable area for all to relax. The house is equipped with 3 cable televisions ( living room, upstairs queen room, downstairs bedroom) and a DVD player (living room). The house is immaculate and very comfortable.
Our guests have truly enjoyed the use of our private HOT TUB!!!! A 4 person hot tub graces our back porch overlooking the woods. It is great for unwinding after a cold winter day or a day of hiking or biking. Please note that there are quiet hours posted for the hot tub, as we have full time neighbors.
We have had great feedback from our previous guests and enjoy opening our comfortable vacation home to others when we are not using it. We are able to be a little bit more choosy about our renters because of our reputation. We prefer renters that enjoy and respect the quiet neighborhood in which our house is located. We do not condone the use of our house for parties and raucous gatherings. We also prefer that our guests have no more than three cars in the driveway. We hope that you will enjoy the cottage as much as our family and repeat guests do.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2002
We are the Brookmans. We have two children; one who graduated from college and one we are hoping will soon graduate diapers! All of us love our time at Massanutten, and we get there as often as possible. Our permanant home is across the mountain in Orange County, Virginia. We purchased our home in 2002 when we discovered what a jewel Massanutten Resort was. We had often skied there as a good local mountain, but when we discovered the mountain biking right on the property, we were sold on the place! In fact, we were riding in Colorado, and met a man who said his favorite place to ride was a little resort called Massanutten! We were floored, but we completely agreed. We bought the house with the intent to use it ourselves as much as possible. The decision to rent was and effort to offset some of the costs of the home. We haven't made a dime in actual profit on the house yet, but we are happy to continue to own it, rent it, and share it with our family and friends. We are constantly upgrading and updating as financing allows. Repeat renters often find many changes in between stays. Some of our bigger projects have been bringing in a hot tub, replacing the dated stove and washer/dryer, painting the exterior, adding 2 TVs, tiling and painting the upstairs bathroom, putting in a new heat pump, replacing the roof and the decks! Projects on the horizon are new flooring, and a second round of painting.
Why the Owner Chose Massanutten Resort
Our house is located just inside the gates of the resort. We love the location of the house because it is quick and easy to get in and out. We are about a mile from the water park and 3 miles to the ski area. The neighborhood is quiet with little traffic, and we are walking distance to some short trails, a fishing pond, and the playground.
The Unique Benefits of this House
We try to make the house very comfortable for our guests. Our beds have quality bedding, our kitchen has needed supplies, and our home is spotless. We also love sharing all the area has to offer as well. We give lots of advice to our guests about local activities. At the house we have a computer that has internet access and we also have wireless access for your own computer. Our computer has links to activities in the area including sightseeing, shopping, dining, and outdoor activities. We also have a book with brochures about some of our favorite spots that include descriptions and directions. We do our best to accommodate folks. Because most families like access to pools in the summer, we have purchased a guest pool pass that is good for admittance to the property owners' pool with a $5 per person fee ( free for children under 5).

Great location, terrificly appointed home

Five of us stayed at the cottage for a girls' weekend. It was terrific. One note: We arrived well into the evening and had trouble spotting the house while driving along the street in the dark. Bear in mind that the house has its own 3-car driveway off the main road/street, and the house itself sits a few yards back from the street (we were finally able to spot the house, but only after we searched on foot, with a flashlight--the Brookmans rightly warned us to bring a flashlight). On to the house: The rooms received a ton of sunlight, which looked incredible in the mornings. Heavy curtains are also in place, if needed. The kitchen had every sort of utensil we could possibly need/want, when it came to preparing our meals. Some of the tableware pieces are really beautiful, and they made our meals seem like more of an occasion. The beds are large and comfortable, the quilts and sheets and towels, aplenty. And we could not stop raving about the decor, complete with retro/vintage-style advertisement paintings, a retro style radio, clocks, etc. The wicker furniture on the front porch is a plus, as was the gorgeous skylight in the upstairs bathroom (not to worry, the neighbors can't peek inside). The hot tub looked clean and inviting, but the weather was simply too hot (100 degrees) over the weekend, so we could not manage a dip. We would absolutely return to this cottage. The owners were extremely communicative and easy to reach. Thank you so much!

This property was very cozy, clean and well-maintained, perfect for a much needed long weekend. Our four young children (as well as my husband and I) loved the water park. We also love the accessibility to Skyline Drive where we enjoyed the scenery and two waterfall hikes. The kids can't wait to come back again, nor can I. Thank you so much.

We had a great family getaway at this home. It is nicely accommodated and close to everything. On a nice day you can walk down the hill to the playground, fishing pond and a trail. We had fun at the water park, on the golf course, fishing, on the mini-golf course, in the go-karts. Lots to do in Massanutten for families. Owner was very easy to work with and very responsive when booking.
Owner response:Thanks! Glad you had a nice time and thanks for the review!

We had a great time. We were close to everything we wanted to do -- the water park, hiking, the caverns, shopping and the park. We started and ended every day with a soak in the hot tub. The kids loved it. We can't wait to come back during ski season.
Owner response:Thanks Crystal! Look forward to having you back. Amanda

These comments are for Massanutten Cottage, 47313. It was a real treat to have four adults, and two grandchildren stay in a cozy clean home. The location, floor plan, and hot tub were the best. We walked to the park and hiked, spent two days at the water park, and enjoyed the surrounding countryside. I wish we had stayed longer. Highly recommend this cottage for a carefree vacation. Thanks.Ruben

My family and I stayed at Massanutten Cottage over the 4th of July week...We had a lot of fun, and the cottage was a home away from home, with everything we needed and more! We will be back..

We had a lovely time ringing in the new year at Massanutten Cottage! The hot tub and fireplace warmed our cold bones from snow tubing with the kids! WE will be back! The Drakes and Hintys
