This townhouse is equipped with everything you could ask for! It was very clean, modern and comfortably decorated. I am very particular when it comes to cleanliness and I felt very comfortable here. We were rained out most of our week, but still had a great time. My boys loved the air hockey table and the games and videos were a nice touch. It was even more comfortable than many of the timeshares I've stayed in with amenities they don't provide (like spices in the cupboards). We also enjoyed the water park, the go- cart racing and mini golf on the Massenutten resort. Cathy and Ben were so accommodating and helpful! Would definitely recommend to a friend.

We rented the townhouse on a whim and were very pleased. We had never used the vrbo web site. Everything in the house was very clean and comfortable. We especially liked that nothing felt like a rental - furniture was solid, beds were wonderful, linens were great, plenty of practical kitchen items and more. A full size washer and dryer were well appreciated.The townhouse was very quiet - you could not hear neighbors when inside. We emailed the owners about the property and also called when we had questions on the day we were supposed to leave for the mountains. They were very helpful and patient with us. The house does sit on a steep driveway but we were able to negotiate our very low lying sports car without trouble. Our full size van had trouble with the driveway angle and the trailer hitch so we opted to park in front of the townhouse at the bottom of the driveway - our choice. It was a very nice long weekend. The kids were thrilled with the video games, air hockey, movies and being in the mountains. We liked the binder full of pamphlets of local restaurants/shops/etc. (would have been nice updated) and visited restaurants we had not tried in the past. We did not use the pool for the owners (spent our time at the waterpark) but it was nice to have the pass if we wanted to go for a swim. The house itself may be difficult for someone with any mobility issues - it is 3 levels - but not cluttered so would be easy to negotiate once inside. Thanks for offering your house for rent. Would love to stay there again.

Spacious Town Home In Gated Community, But Watch Out For the Deer

I can't say enough positive things about my transaction and visit to this property. I contacted the Hellier's in regards to their rental property via email and they were very accommodating. The pictures did not do this rental any justice. We walked into the ground level that had air hockey, TV, game system, and family friendly videotapes (my arm still hurts from playing several rounds of air hockey). The second level housed the kitchen, living room, and deck with gas grill which came in handy when my family began to crave grilled hot dogs. The upperlevel had three spacious bedrooms and there were plenty of bathrooms throughout the property. I was amazed at how clean and well kept the home was, including the bright white towels. I also liked the fact there was a Food Lion within a 10 minute drive and the winter sports were in walking distance. Although one roll of toilet tissue would be great for those of us who forget, it was outlined in the contract we would have to provide those essentials. Overall, it was a great stay and I would defiantly rent this property again!

We had great time this Memorial weekend. The skyland drive, the trails, and of course, the clean, comfortable town house makes you feel just like at home. Plus the convenience location for any activities you want in Shenandoah. We definitely will come back again.

We are two families that always travel together, we stayed 3 nights at the end of January hoping for a wonderful first-timers experience in the snow. We were so lucky we even got hit with 8 inches of snow during our stay. This property was modern, clean, & very well equipped, They have it so cozy you actually feel like you are home. The nice thick mattresses were a plus. We were a total 8, 4 adults 2 teenagers, and 2 pre-teens, with so many baths and half baths, and so much space we never felt cramped. The laundry room was very convenient it was so large and the hooks were great to hang up all of our ski gear for the next day.We had a great time skiing and tubing. The employees at the ski lodge/equipt. rental, general store were all very helpful. Ben was always available with any questions I had, Since we're from Florida we're not used to driving in the snow but we were so lucky even the neighbors were great, they helped us shovel the snow from the driveway so we would not miss our flights back home. Overall this vacation was excellent i would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in the Massanutten area. Our first vacation in the snow was priceless, thanks again Ben & Cathy.

We spent 4 wonderful days at this house on October 2009 with our 3 kids. The house is so nice, very cosy, tastefully decorated and very well maintained. The resort around is also very nice and offers many activities all around the year. The owners are very responsive to asist with any quiery. In short -the "Ridge View" is the ideal "home away from home" at the Shanandoah valley!

Absolutely beautiful condo

We stayed in late June for 7 days with 3 daughers who were 20, 19 and 17. My oldest parked herself in the downstairs playroom with her own TV and sleeper sofa and bathroom. She was in heaven. The wi-fi is free and she had her laptop so she was really all set. We had many dinners on the deck on the second level watching the hawks flying around the Massanutten mountains. It was so great to sit and chat with the kids. At night while the kids went to the waterpark, I would do some of the puzzles and watch DVD's. The kids played with the air hockey several times. You will get a lot of value for the price with this condo. It was exceptionally clean and maintained. The owners provided excellent communication and customer service. They answered any questions we had about the amenities and restaurants around Massanutten. For anyone who is disabled and wondering about access, you would have to be able to walk up 13 steps to get to each level. I am somewhat disabled, but managed to stay here. I would come down from the 3rd level and stay in the second level during the day. I had everything I neded there, a bathroom, kitchen, puzzles, Tv with DVD player and the deck where i could relax and read a book or have a snack. To leave the unit , I would have to walk down the 13 steps, but it was worth it. The bedrooms were spacious and the master bedroom is very large with its own full bathroom. If you are looking to rest, the mattress in the master bedroom was terrific and I slept better than I have in a long time. There was plenty of towels and linens provided as well. We also used the washer and dryer on the last day and went home with clean clothes which was very handy. The unit is also located within 5 minutes of the Massanutten resort where the water park, pool and small store is located. I would definitely recommend this unit for families and couples, you have everything you need provided in the unit and are close to all of the fun activities that are available. If you chose to stay here, take advantage of the information packet they provide in the living room uner the T.V.. It was very helpful in finding restaurants, attractions and even some coupons for the local area. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with our condo and would stay again and recommend it for anyone. It is a great deal for the price. Thanks again Ben & Cathy.
