Place is huge and suited our family being under one roof. The host was very quick with responses and gave good communication. The place was showing wear but had plenty of games for the kids and space to gather or relax. Very close to Massanutten activities.

SUCH a great experience. Location is wonderful, the property itself is just beautiful. Kitchen/dining/meeting are all first rate. Host and caretaker are super helpful and responsive. Considering what you get, the price is extremely reasonable. If you are doing a big event, for people who can share rooms, it's hard to beat this property.

Amazing property! There was plenty of room for our large family. The eat in kitchen was large enough to fit our 22 family members with room to spare.We enjoyed the inside games on rainy afternoons and the kids had a big flat yard to run around in. The fire pits and hammocks were also a big hit. Thank you for sharing your lovely house.

We had a large group stay at Payton's Peak. The house is massive with many levels. This is the perfect property if you have a large gathering. The kitchen was well stocked, so if you are cooking for many people, you should have everything that you need. All you will need to bring is the food and drinks. There are numerous living and sleeping spaces. Be aware that there are lots of steps to reach some of the living spaces and bedrooms, but there are sleeping spaces on the main level for those who prefer to avoid stairs. With some bedrooms, you need to walk through one space to access another, so if privacy is an issue, find some of the more secluded bedrooms. If you are looking for a very large property to host many guests, that offers outdoor fire pits for night activities, with nature trails and visits from the local deer, this is your place.

The architecture and location were beautiful but the state of the kitchen was terrible. Dirty dishes in the cupboard, grease on the cookie sheets, dirty coffee carafe, bought a crock pot because I wouldn't use the one there. Texted the owner and asked for some compensation but was denied because the house was "usable". The owner and manager did respond quickly but, in my opinion, not appropriately. AC was broken but we were told that the previous renters turned it off because they didn't use that floor. Not really...

This spacious mansion located within the Massanutten Resort was ideal for our family reunion group. The owner promptly answered my questions prior to arrival and the rental home includes many start-up supplies. The numerous living and dining areas, patios, and ensuite bedrooms were perfect. Views of the mountains and visiting deer families were a highlight. The caretaker, Josh, welcomed us and was responsive and helpful during our stay. Two of the top floor bedrooms don't cool down like the remainder of that level. Fans were available but being able to open windows would make a difference. Payton's Peak met all of the requirements for our family group and helped us to capture many more precious moments together.

Amazing place for large family gatherings!!

So much space!! We had 11 adults and 10 kids and still everyone had privacy when needed. Compared to renting multiple smaller homes this was less expensive and much better for being able to hang out all together.
