Great Stay

We had a lovely time at this Massanutten Resort property! It was a perfect setup for our two families with kids. The little ones loved the game room and bunk bed room (complete with fun nightlights). The kitchen is nicely equipped for a rental property if you prefer to cook. The home is nearby lots of great activities and hiking. The owners are very responsive and accommodating. We recommend a stay here!

It was very comfortable

The owner was very kind and helpful even when we encountered difficulties during our stay, and we are grateful for their assistance. It was not a problem to stay with children, and the basement games provided a lot of entertainment, making our time there very comfortable. The living environment was also excellent, very peaceful and tranquil, allowing us to create wonderful memories.

There's no place like home!

This is a beautifully designed home with a charming “home like” atmosphere that felt very safe/private and was exceptionally clean. Additionally, the linens/towels were super-soft, and the beds/couches were extra-comfy. Our kids especially loved the bunk-beds and Air-Hockey table in the game room. Furthermore, the large screen internet-connected TV’s were top notch with a sound bar and the Internet/Wifi was fast/fully functional in every room. Bottom line, all of our expectations were exceeded and we are grateful to have “Stay’d Awhile” as the experience was perfect for our families visit to beautiful Massanutten to create cherished life-long memories. Many thanks to the host(s)!

Quick 6th birthday trip

The host was wonderful both before and during our stay answering any and all questions quickly. They offered insight on things to do and places to eat including contacting places to see if they’d be open during the duration of our stay. The house was great and our little ones absolutely loved the bunk beds and air hockey. Would definitely recommend.

Weekend with the family

Loved the house. Very clean. Beautifully decorated. Had everything in the kitchen we needed. The only issue we had was the incredibly steep driveway we were not aware of and fitting all of our vehicles in easily. The hill made it difficult. But overall it was a great stay. Everyone loved the accommodations!

Great home

We loved the home but the grandparents struggled with the driveway being so steep. We drove large trucks and could not fit the trucks in the garage and it was hard to back in and out. Two fell down the driveway from wet road and steepness so the driveway caused injuries. But the house was so nice and great for our family

Nice modern home in the resort

The property was clean and modern, and seemed either new or renovated. Basic amenities were provided. It was very convenient to resort activities. The only negative was that the living room could use another couch as seating was limited. Also, the sliding door on the master would not fully close and let in a lot of sound from the living room.
