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!

Super House for a family fun time in the mountains, or to visit someone special at James Madison University. Very comfortable and equipped with anything you might need. Conveniently located and plenty of parking. Great communication with owners. I would stay here again !!

Adorable Cottage

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!

Loved the cottage

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

My friends and I had an amazing time here! The ad we read for this place definitely sells it short! We were very surprised to find how spacious the place was and the fireplace and HOT TUB are big time pluses. We'd definitely come again!

I headed out to this cottage for a weekend with a group of friends from work and had a terrific time. The hot tub on the back deck is the real deal: spacious and comfortable. The house is only a couple miles from the slopes and has plenty of sleeping arrangements. I would definitely go back again. Did I mention the hot tub...

Our weekend visit to the Massanutten Cottage was wonderful. It was a perfect spot for all my children to meet to celebrate an early Christmas, and no one was disappointed. The cottage was very clean and spacious and met all our expections. The hot tub was an extra plus and enjoyed by all. We definitely plan to meet there again in the future for family gatherings. Thank you for sharing your cottage with us. Sincerely, Karen, Mike and family

The family accommodations in this charmingly furnished mountain cottage are spacious and comfortable. During a couple of visits already in the winter months, we've enjoyed evenings relaxing by the mesmerizing glow of the fireplace and recounting with friends the highlights of the day's alpine events. This is a great house in a great location. We'll be back. Yes, we will.
