This home DOES have a newly installed Ring camera by the front door.

Peaceful Vista is a gorgeous, recently refurbished chalet-style home with the most amazing views. Set high among the trees above the Mountain Greens golf course, this home offers panoramic views across Massanutten Valley through the wrap-around French windows of the vaulted-ceiling family room, and from its large, two-level deck. With four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, a gas-log fireplace, gas grill, a large deck and a beautiful well-appointed kitchen - all your mountain vacation comforts are cared for!
Bring family and friends to Peaceful Vista for a relaxing or adventurous getaway. Hang out in front of the toasty gas log fireplace (Oct 01 through Mar 31, only) with one of the books on the bookshelf, play some board games with the family, grill dinner & eat on the deck that seems to float above the trees - and enjoy the recreational facilities nearby in Massanutten.

Large upstairs and downstairs decks provide plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors at the house, with an outdoor love seat and coffee table, outdoor dining, lounge chairs and a gas grill.
There is a set of stairs that lead directly from the parking area to the home. There is also a new walking path from the parking area that leads directly to the home (this is pictured!). Enter the home into the kitchen. To the immediate right of the front door is the laundry area, to the left is the upgraded kitchen. Cherry cabinets, granite counter tops, stainless appliances and a well stocked kitchen (Coffee grinder, French press and drip coffee makers, blender, mixing bowls and mixer, slow cooker, and some pantry items like herbs and spices) mean the kitchen is ready for the cook! The refrigerator dispenses filtered chilled water and ice.

Off the kitchen is the airy dining area and the living room, with a high, vaulted ceiling, wrap-around French windows and doors to the deck – all offering a wonderful view across the valley.

The dining area is surrounded by patio doors, so you've got plenty of natural light. The living room has a gas log fireplace (use from Oct 1st through Mar 31stm ONLY), a wall-mounted large, flat screen SMART TV which allows guests to log on and use their own streaming services (e.g. Netflix, Prime, etc. - remember to bring your id and password!) as well as basic cable service, and beautiful European crafted leather furniture. Oh, and that beautiful view out the big windows!

Down the hall are two bedrooms and a full bathroom. The first bedroom has a new double bed and well stocked bookshelf. The second bedroom has a twin-over-twin bunk bed. The full, modern bathroom has a tub and shower.

The door in the kitchen leads to the downstairs level where there is a large family room that is also used as a bedroom. There is a twin day bed with twin trundle bed for additional sleeping, a flat screen TV (not smart or on cable, but is linked to a DVD player and with an HDMI port if you wish to bring your own gaming or streaming device), well stocked entertainment center with new games, new game table, and a dedicated work space that offers great views of the valley! Attached to the room is a full bathroom with a tub and shower. Patio doors lead to the sheltered lower-level deck, where you can relax on the hammock or deck furniture while enjoying stunning views of the valley!

All the way back upstairs, up even from the living room, is the primary bedroom which has a queen bed, large closet, and an en-suite bathroom with a tub and shower. With the dual doors to the primary bedroom opened there is a mountain view from the bedroom and loft.

Lovely place, great location
Beautiful views, great location. Worked well for 3 of us but would have been tight quarters for more than 4 or 5, particularly if you don't fit well on a double bed. Only issue at all was the sheets-- they were washed with a very strong-smelling chemical detergent. I had a terrible time sleeping with the smell; eventually I had to cover the pillowcase, bottom sheet and top sheet with towels we brought (bring towels!) to try to sleep. Would not stay there again, just because of the smell of the sheets. Would have liked to have one more blanket too - it was quite cold. Other than the chemical smell of the sheets, it was GREAT!

Perfect Celebration Week!
We had a wonderful time at Peaceful Vista. The home was clean, well kept and had incredible views. The kitchen was well stocked and the property manager was quick when I had a question. Our family could not have asked for a better place to stay to celebrate JMU graduation!

Untidy and poor communication with property manager
My group entered the house and could not determine if the cleaning crew had done their job. The beds were half-made and unkept, so we could not tell if the linens had been changed. The hand towel in the bathroom was soaking wet, again having us doubt it had been cleaned. We found balloons floating around on the floor, so there had obviously been some form of party, but nobody had bothered to clean up, or if they did, the did a very poor job. We notified the property manager immediately upon check-in (per the check-in instructions) on a Saturday, yet did not hear back from them until Tuesday, a full day after we had checked out. The property is nicely located, yet our experience with the cleanliness and poor communication with the property manager made for a bad experience. There are other properties that we have rented in the neighborhood managed by other groups that are better suited for a family trip and more reliable in terms of cleanliness and responsiveness.
