Unbelievably Disappointed
Renter beware. This property is rundown, dirty and in need of repairs. We did have safety issues. The walkway to the front door has rotting wood, loose boards and a big yellow jacket nest. Two of the children were stung and a few of us fell on the rotten parts of the walkway. There was a missing smoke alarm in the kitchen. The water pressure was nonexistent in the main floor of the house. The exhaust for the downstairs bath is a hole in the ceiling. I kid you not! It’s obvious the “fully stocked” kitchenwares were purchased at a thrift store. Nothing matched. The one oversized cooking pot’s bottom was so burned the lining was literally peeling off. I had to go buy a pan to make our meals. On the 5th day of our stay the toilet broke. I contacted the property manager who said they “would try to get out there to fix it”. He never fixed it. This is all in addition to dirty floors, cobwebs and caked dust on air returns. I communicated all of these items to the owner on the 4th day of our stay. She indicated she hasn’t personally visited the property in a long time and depends on her cleaning people and property manager. Big mistake, in my opinion. We planned this vacation for a year and traveled far to get here. We are so disappointed.

Big open spaces
The cousins loved being on the lowered level with a big TV, air hockey, foosball, games, etc. The adults stayed on the upper level with huge couch, comfy pillows, big dinning area. Beds were super comfy and we didn't have to worry about towels or linens.

Beautiful home
The home was beautiful and spacious for our group of 8 family members. The teenagers enjoyed the ping pong table in the basement while the adults enjoyed coffee on the back porch with the squirrels. The refrigerator didn’t work 100%, and from the kitchen flooring looks like it has been leaking before.

Don’t stay here!!!!
The pluming was an issue. Had to move the plunger back and forth between bathroom.s. Water pressure was awful. Water was super hot or freezing when taking a shower. Tried to get ahold of the property manger for 3 days about fire wood. The last day he responded and said he’d send someone over but we never did get the wood. I picked wood from outside and got the fire going only to discover that something is wrong with the flu because the down stairs was filled with smoke.The insides of the Pot and pans were coming apart so you could not cook in most of them. The freezer was leaking into the refrigerator ruining food. I reached out to the host before we arrived a d still have not heard from her.

Family New Year’s Eve Weekend
The property was dated but adequate for the 12 of us plus a dog. The ping-pong table and game room provided hours of great fun for children and adults. The location was very convenient to hiking trails and snow tubing and slopes. The property manager was easy to access and attentive. The cleaning crew however left huge amounts of garbage outside as well as wet clothes in the washing machine. The property manager had to send someone the next morning to pick it up, but we had to bring it inside overnight because of attracting animals. There were leaves all on the deck and in the laundry room. The cushions for chairs on the deck were mildewed. There were a few lights and outlets that didn’t work. Even with these few inconveniences, overall it was a great way for our family to begin a new year!!

Okay, but has Great Potential
Our check in process was a bit sketchy, but the property owner worked it out swiftly. The house's yard was not tended to nor were the porches. Again, the property manager sorted ot out quickly. The location is great. With a good paint job and replacement of some trimming throughout the house, it'd be a gem. We made the most of our stay and the property owner was as responsive as we could ask. Thank you!

Christmas family get away
This house was absolutely perfect for our family get away. Although the weather was unseasonably warm with slopes closed we still had plenty of fun. First morning there a deer strolled right through the back yard and stayed about 5 feet away from me for a good while, it was amazing! To give you an idea of how spacious the home is our vacation included myself and my husband, our 2 teen boys that still live with us ages 15 & 16, our daughter(pregnant) 27 w/ her husband and 4 yr old son, and our oldest son 20 with his girlfriend. Our teen boys shared the dbl bunk room and everyone else had their own room. The downstairs area was a perfect retreat for our teens they were able to close the door by the stairs and blast their music without bothering us if needed. We took the upstairs master bedroom since it had a full bath the other full bath is downstairs and was fine for everyone else to share. There is also a half bath upstairs in between the rooms. The house was stocked with essentials more than we expected. We are used to staying at my mom's timeshare and there is usually only enough essentials for 1 or 2 days and we are used to shopping the 1st day for everything needed for a week so we were pleasantly surprised that we literally only needed to buy groceries. The house had a fully stocked kitchen including stock pot and crock pot! Tons of linens and towels so we never ran out. Plenty of trash bags and family games even though we brought our own. Trash could be taken further up the mountain to any dumpster in the resort lodging areas. The driveway is steep as many mentioned but once you got used to it you were fine (husband drove the entire time so I never actually tried to conquer the mountain driveway). We fit 2 SUVs on the driveway ours is AWD but daughter's is 2WD. We parked sideways pulling up to where the walk begins (not bridge walk but drive walk) and they pulled all the back into the driveway butting up to yard. This allowed either of us to leave at any given time w/o having to reverse up the driveway. Our son parked his minivan at top of driveway without any issues and was able to get all 4 wheels off road. For those who left less desirable reviews i assume they are used to 5 star hotels. This is a vacation home not hotel but was perfect for our needs. Michelle was easy to communicate with. Fast to respond to messages. Property owner gave us entry code prior to arrival and checkout was even easier. No complaints! Would rent again 100%

Amazing stay!
We absolutely loved this house. My son(who is 8) was obsessed with the game rooms. It was plenty of space for 6 of us with a bedroom completely empty. We loved that we were able to bring our pup with us. The heat was broken when we got there, but the property manager was quick to get it fixed while we were out and about. The only things I can complain about is the driveway is super steep and we got stuck a few times. Other than that I definitely recommend staying!!

Family Reunion
We stayed at the house Labor Day weekend, everything was as described and the house is on the lower portion of the resort. Michelle was very good at keeping me advised during the rental process even keeping me updated when there was an issue with the washer prior to our arrival. There were plenty of towels, linens, toilet paper etc and the kitchen had the basic needs for cooking. The only suggestions that I would have is that rules for parking and some checkout guidance would be provided. Massanutten security stopped by the house because a neighbor had complained about one of our vehicles not being parked far enough of the road, he told us that all four wheels had to be off the road which is nearly impossible to do and the driveway is steep with limited room. We weren't sure what to do with our trash and towels at checkout so we left the trash inside so the animals wouldn't get into it and put our towels in the tubs. Overall a very good stay for the price and we would definitely rent again.

Family fun
Great place for families with kids. Had enough space for everyone to spread out in. Loved the nice big sectional on the main level with board games to play. Everyone enjoyed the game room and ping pong table! Be prepared for the steep driveway. Very difficult to navigate if you have more than one large vehicle. We had a large passenger van and truck, but there is a small strip in front of the house that we were able to park the van on.

Ok, but less than expected
Property had some great amenities, but needed some work. Based on other reviews we may have just been unlucky. Our experience was that one bed collapsed and was found to be missing bolts. Deck chairs were mildewed and dirty. Trash left in backyard and in various places inside. TV remotes were without batteries, not working, or went to nothing in the house. There were multiple problems with AC and communication problems between owner and property manager, which made problems worse. Owner was apologetic about AC, but also tried to blame us for AC issues, based on misinformation from property manager. Other issues - remotes, bed, deck furniture, weren't even acknowledged.
