About this property
Sam's Place: Brand-new Massanutten custom home with game room!
Welcome to Sam's Place: a brand-new, custom built home, located in Massanutten Resort! The home sits on a quiet street, minutes from all of the activities, and includes all of the features that make it feel like home. The home is a ranch floor plan with a master bedroom with king bed & en suite bathroom; 2nd bedroom with a queen bed; and 3rd bedroom with two, twin-sized beds with trundles. Traveling with family or friends? Check out Duke's place which is a 3-bedroom home next door!
The kitchen is equipped with everything needed to prepare and serve home-cooked meals. For our coffee lovers, we provide a Keurig and a French Press for coffee. All linens, towels, and washcloths are included with your stay. We also provide dishwasher tabs, laundry pods, toilet paper and paper towels.
Game room in the basement features a ping pong table, putting green, arcade basketball, foosball, and jumbo jenga.
A laundry room with washer and dryer are available for guest use.
Home is dog friendly, and named after our Golden Retriever, Samson! We provide dog bowls, treats, and a spot to hang a leash.
MASSANUTTEN RESORT
The home is located inside the gated community of Massanutten Resort. The Resort offers skiing, two golf courses, water park, mountain biking, ziplining, putt-putt, go-carts, fishing, parks and more- only a couple miles from the house.
For the outdoor pool, the house has a pool pass which allows guests to pay $6/person for the pool. Please note there is a $200 lost pass fee that the resort charges, so we ask that guests keep a close eye on the pass & make sure it is returned to binder, to avoid being charged the $200 fee.
SURROUNDING AREA
Downtown Harrisonburg and James Madison University are 15 miles from our home. There are many fantastic restaurant, museums and shops that are fun to explore in downtown. The closest Shenandoah River access is only 10 miles from the house. Tubing and kayaking are fun to enjoy during the summer. The Swift Gap entrance to Shenandoah National Park and Blue Ridge Trail is only 15 miles away and offers excellent hiking trails. Wineries and breweries are a short drive from the home.

Hello, I’m Julian & I live in Ponte Vedra, FL with my wife and 3 kids. My wife and I are both James Madison alums (‘06) and we are proud to host our Airbnbs in beautiful Massanutten, VA! Our homes are named after our Yellow Lab, the Duke dog (2007-2020), and our 2 year old English Cream Retriever, Samson. In our spare time we like to spend time at our kids baseball & softball games, walking Sam, and camping in our Travel Trailer!
