Pet Friendly, Resort Amenities, Game Room!
Welcome to The Otter Den at Massanutten!
In search of a peaceful getaway in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley? Look no further than The Otter Den at Massanutten Resort! This four-bedroom, two-bathroom home sleeps a total of 10 people and includes one king bed, two queen beds, and one twin over full bunk bed.
This cozy mountain home will be the perfect backdrop for unforgettable memories with friends and family. Cook a hearty breakfast in the fully-equipped country-style kitchen, take part in a bit of competitive fun with pool, cards, and board games in the game room, or enjoy a quiet cup of coffee while observing the local wildlife from the comfort of the screened porch. The vaulted ceilings and large windows of the main level provide tons of natural light and views of the wooded area surrounding the home.
The Otter Den will feel like a secluded mountain getaway, but is located on-site at Massanutten Resort which features exciting attractions like the Indoor/Outdoor WaterPark, Family Adventure Park, two golf courses, hiking trails, and more. The Otter Den also includes free access to resort pools and recreation centers. Once you are finished enjoying all that the resort has to offer, we suggest a trip to nearby local communities for some of the Shenandoah Valley's best outdoor recreation, dining, and entertainment options.
