As one of the closest homes to the ski slopes, you can return for hot chocolate mid-day and place your skis and boots in the screened porch. It is perfect for a family winter ski trip or to enjoy the Four Seasons Resort and Shenandoah Valley area any time of year.

The Overlook is a spacious 5 bedroom home with open vaulted ceilings.

The family and dining rooms boast a vaulted ceiling and numerous large windows provide light and views. Two sliding doors lead outside to the balcony for more beautiful views.
Downstairs are a full bathroom and four bedrooms with: (1) a queen bed; (2) two twin beds; (3) twin bunk beds; and (4) a sleeper queen sofa.

The Overlook: 5 BR Mountain Cabin Best Rates Free Night
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Massanutten Resort
While on a weekend ski trip over President’s Day 2004, we fell in love with Massanutten Resort and purchased our first second home, The Retreat at Massanutten. Just a few months later we purchased The Overlook at Massanutten. We have now vacationed at Massanutten for more than seven years and used the resort for many years to get away from the hustle and bustle of Northern Virginia and Washington, DC, for winter skiing and summer outdoor fun. No other resort near Washington, DC offers as wide a variety of activities as Massanutten, and at such a great value for the family to get away together. Since 2004, we have added three additional Massanutten homes to our inventory, including The Overlook at Massanutten, and rented to more than 430 different families. We hope you will enjoy The Overlook at Massanutten as much as our other guests have.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The Overlook at Massanutten is a true mountain getaway in a cabin. And we have strived over the years to maintain the competitive rates that keep guests coming back again and again. Because we stay at all of our homes when we vacation at Massanutten, we ensure that the comforts and quality remain high. The Overlook is the perfect home to accommodate family gatherings, both large and small. Over the last seven years we have carefully stocked The Overlook with activities, such as movies, kids toys, and books. The Overlook is also uniquely situated at the top of the mountain, literally backing up to the ski hills, with a great view out the back deck overlooking the ski slopes and right in the middle of all of the activities. It is perfect for enjoying your getaway vacation.

We had a group of 11 for a weekend retreat in November and it was perfect for what we were doing. I will definately consider renting Overlook again. The staff at Massanutten were incredible and the location in the woods was right next to the hiking trails. Thoroughly enjoyed it as did our group.

We stayed at the Overlook in 11/07 and had a great time. This home is nicely decorated inside and very roomy. Good location up the mountain, about 1/2 mile from the ski lodge. Kids loved the house and the indoor water park was great. The owner was very accommodating and pleasant to work with which made our visit even more pleasureable. We will definitely be visiting the Overlook again!
