We loved our stay in Massanutten! The house was great, the view was incredible, and the hosts were extremely responsive. We were able to enjoy the activities at the Massanutten Resort and it was just a short drive to beautiful Shenandoah National Park. A great stay!

The property is beautiful, very clean and very well appointed. The views are spectacular and we enjoyed swimming at the community pool. We very much enjoyed the amenities of the home. We had fun playing table tennis, and scrabble on the deluxe set. There was a pool table as well, but we didn’t get a chance to play. The hosts were very pleasant and responsive to any questions we had. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful, well-maintained property with stunning view. The house was clean and well-maintained, and the kitchen is fully stocked for cooking in. The game tables were a lot of fun and kept everyone occupied during a few thunderstorms when we couldn’t use the decks. We had 9 family members from 4 different states and it was a perfect spot to gather, and the en suite bathrooms still gave everyone their own little space with privacy. Teens loved the spacious bunk room to hang out. The hosts were very communicative, answered questions quickly and checked in a couple of times during the week to make sure everything was going smoothly. Location is close to resort activities and hiking trails and there is lots to explore within an hour radius if you are willing to drive a bit. 10/10 home and hosts.

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!

Fabulous views, awesome house. We loved walking into the large dining room table that is open to the living room area and views beyond that with the kitchen open to the left of the dining room we were all gathered around for meal prep and meals. Sitting on the deck after dinner with the fire pit playing trivia was a highlight for our group. (the owners made sure to stock extra propane tanks so you won't run out during your stay). The upstairs three bedrooms were all great. Downstairs is a large area with a ping pong table, nice leather couches and a poker game table with fun comfy chairs. The bunk room is Huge - just great. The pool table area was a hit for some competitive games and beer and music and the space was really enjoyable. Every morning our group was out on the lower deck for coffee and again in the afternoon reading - very comfortable. The house was super clean! Our group loved using the stoneware dishes for dinner. The large flat top grill rolled out into the driveway cooked our proteins to perfection. We all can't wait to make a return trip!

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.
