We had a wonderful stay! The house was spotless, comfortable, and stocked with absolutely everything we could have needed. The owners truly thought of every detail—including games and activities that kept everyone in our family entertained, from ages 7 to 79. The owners were friendly, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Pictures represent the place well. There is a “roller coaster” right outside the windows, so expect some noise from that. It’s not horrible, just something to be aware of if you are sensitive to noise.We stayed with 5 adults for two days while attending a family wedding. The place had everything we needed.Beds were comfortable, linens were clean. Not the most updated house, but more than adequate.

Property was clean, well stocked, and great fun for the kids. The Unit had everything we needed including a fully stocked coffee bar, extra soap, shampoo, detergent, kitchen sponge, and towels. Thank you for the owners for providing all these extra items. My kids loved playing the arcade games, eating outside, and enjoying the pool and other resort amenities. We were all sad to leave!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're so glad our home had everything you needed and that the kids loved the arcade games, pool, and eating outside. That's exactly the kind of stay we hope for. We put a lot of thought into keeping the place well stocked, so it's great to hear it made a difference. We'd love to have you and your family back anytime!

I highly recommend this Massanutten vacation rental (10/10)! Our hosts, Mary and Chris, communicated beautifully and made the check-in process incredibly smooth, quick, and easy. The property's decor and aesthetics are gorgeous, and we thoroughly enjoyed hanging out by the outdoor fire pit. You can even see the new rollercoaster at the Massanutten Family Adventure Park right from the back balcony! Just a quick tip for future guests: the property is high up on the mountain, so be prepared for your ears to pop on the drive to and from the property, but the incredible views and location are entirely worth it.

Be ready for stairs. Master, living room and kitchen are on lower level. Rooms, bedding and bathrooms were clean. Furniture and amenities didn’t match the listing. We also experienced some electrical issues and mold or something in the bathroom ceiling. Over all we enjoyed our stay and the resort.

Thank you for staying with us and for sharing your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and the resort, and that you found the rooms, bedding, and bathrooms clean. We take concerns like this seriously, so we had the property inspected and found no mold in the bathroom ceiling after your note after check out, and we brought in an electrician to check the electrical concerns raised. We also regularly refresh furniture and amenities, which can mean some pieces differ from older listing photos. We have to work to keep everything fresh to keep our house in great shape for guests.

This was a great place to stay right off the slopes! Everything was clean and comfortable. Chech-in/out was very easy and the host was nice.We had our dog along on this trip too and it was nice to walk inside and see a basket with bowls, poop bags, and a few toys! Definitely made us feel welcome, we would stay again!
