This was a family trip with our children and grandchildren to go to the water park and snow tubing. We all just loved the house! The host family was very friendly and responded quickly to any questions we had during our stay, and the house was very welcoming with a lot of fun games, pool table, and ping pong available to us. The back decks provided gorgeous views of the ski slopes and mountains, and we enjoyed the fire pit as well. We will definitely look forward to a future stay!

Great for families!

We stayed with my extended family—including my parents, five kids, and their spouses—with children ranging in age from 18 months to 10 years. The house was very comfortable, and the kids especially loved the bunk room. It was clean, and the kitchen was well-stocked. The deck and views were amazing. Highly recommend!

New year’s getaway

This house was the perfect escape and change of scenery to close out 2020. Our boys loved the ping pong table and bunk beds, the property was so well stocked for visitors, and we loved checking out the deer daily and walking around the Massanutten grounds each day.

About the host

Hosted by Paul and April

Host profile image
We love the mountains and fell in love with the Massanutten Resort area when we visited. It is central to so many family activities and we look forward to visiting often (when we're not sharing our home with other families or course!).

Why they chose this property

Welcome to our home nestled in the heart of the Massanutten Resort. Our home is situated in a highly desired area and offers amazing views all year long.

Wake up to stunning sunrises that you can enjoy from inside or outside on one of our new, multi-level decks. Spend a cozy evening relaxing by the stone fireplace, or gather with your family for a fun game night in our entertainment room. We also have a separate billiards room where you can challenge your loved ones to a friendly game of pool. And for those quiet nights in, snuggle up and watch a movie together on one of the large smart TVs.

Nature lovers will delight in the abundance of wildlife that regularly.

Our aim is to provide you with a comfortable and welcoming stay that you'll remember for years to come.
