The place was amazing besides for the fence. There was a gap in the fence by the hot tub. We had checked before letting our dog off leash. Wasn’t sure if a bar was missing or it was just further apart than the other bars but our dog escaped from the yard. Could not dump our trash where it was stated in the instructions either. The rooms were amazing with plenty of sleeping areas, enough games not to get board, and it was wonderful being at a pet friendly place.
The property was just as described!! It was beautifully decorated and the layout was very well thought out! I appreciated the labeling of things in the house as well as clear directions for things around and concerning the house!! The house was very clean would definitely stay here again!
The house was great. Very comfortable and enough room to spread out with four teenagers. Great proximity to the mountain and after a day and night of snow falling, the resort did an excellent job of clearing the street.
Really enjoyed the property and greatly appreciated the owner truly being pet friendly. The summer season is just getting started so mowed lawn to help with bug control and porch dusting would have been great. Overall great stay.

There was no propane for the fire table or the grill. There was also no battery in the remote to start the fireplace.
Everyone in our family loved our stay in Massanutten at Nate’s cottage! Hosts were excellent, easy to communicate with and attended to every detail. The cabin was perfect for our family size of three adults two young adults and three kids. We especially loved the massage chair. Plenty of games to occupy the kids and lots of space to relax. Feel like living in a treehouse when you sit and enjoy you coffee on the large wraparound deck. Great place! Highly recommend!
Great property for enjoying time with family and pets!!
We loved the property and the area. The massage chair was awesome! The gated yard was so great for our dogs. It was a great place to spend quality time together and do fun things in the area.

About the host
Hosted by Nate Spurrier
We love bringing our family with three kids and two dogs to Massanutten. We wanted a place that could help create memories for years to come both for our family as well as yours. Kids' activities keep us very busy throughout the year so we wanted to allow others to enjoy the property and all that Massanutten has to offer while we were not available to use the house.
