Nice property for family
Travelled with family (8 total) and this location had plenty of room. Great amenities, amazing communication from owner and a good spot for anyone looking to do some hiking in the Shenandoah. Grocery store was a mere 20 minutes away. Location was quiet and comfortable on sunny and rainy days. We would definitely stay here again.

Dempsey Family Top 10 things to do in Massanutten:

1. Cross Keys Vineyard – great wine and beautiful scenery – a perfect Virginia wine country escape
2. Cave Hill Farms Brewery – an awesome working farm that’s also a brewery! Our kids enjoy finding the chickens and climbing to the top of the feed mill for great views! There’s usually live music on Saturdays and Sundays
3. White Oak Lavender & Purple Wolf Vineyard – Lavender and wine – what more could you ask for as part of a relaxing getaway?
4. Ruby’s Arcade – located in downtown Harrisonburg, Ruby’s is a fun spot to grab some food and drinks, and enjoy some old-school arcade fun, including duck bowling.
5. Massanutten Family Adventure Park – Definitely a fun time for the whole family. Our kids love the tubbing best!
6. The Massanutten Overlook – This one is right around the corner! Head left on Del Webb drive for about ¼ mile and you’ll find a fantastic view and access to hiking trails.
7. Hiking trails – We have 2 kids and 2 dogs, so a good hike is a great way to entertain everyone at once
8. Massanutten Water Park – our son would not let us leave this one off! It is epic.
9. Massanutten Adventures – Hiking, tubing, kayaking oh my!
10. Marceline Vineyards – a beautiful location with lots of room for the kiddos to roam.
