Why the Owner Chose Massanutten Resort
Three of our four grandchildren live in Harrisonburg. We found ourselves visiting Harrisonburg at least once a month and we always stayed with our son and his family. When their third child arrived five years ago we knew staying with them just wouldn't work. We needed more room as a family especially when our other two children, their spouses, and our fourth granchild came to visit. So we built a home large enough for our frequent family get-togethers.
The Unique Benefits at this House
There are so many things to do and see in the Massanutten area that none of our family ever gets bored. Whether it's hiking in the National Forest that abuts the Resort, or Skyline Drive just a few minutes away, or skiing or tubing in the winter, or using the pools that are available, we all have fun and get a chance to RELAX. The views from our upper deck are spectacular, whether it's the ski slopes in the distance, the golfers on the course below our deck, the sunrise that creeps over our home in the morning, or the sunset that slides below the mountain across the valley. If you want to unwind, this is the place.
University of Virgin and Thomas Jefferson's home at Monticello are about 45 minutes away.
The entrance off Route 33 is only about 20 minutes away. You'll also find rafting on the Shenandoah River in Elkton on the way.

Carol and I have been married for 45 years. Carol often tells folks I grabbed her from her cradle to get married. Truth is she chased me mercilessly until I finally gave in. Carol is a college teacher and I am finally retired completely.
