Great weekend away in the pool on the mountain!

What more can you say - there’s an indoor pool! Our three kids were over the moon when they saw it and it was the focal point for the trip. Water was clean and temp was good (especially for the end of Oct) - basically spent the weekend in there! The rest of the house was solid: kitchen had everything for meals, tons of towels for showers, very good Wi-Fi, etc. And the host was very responsive via text when emails were getting swept up by a filter and not coming through. Our kids were a little too young to really get into what the resort has to offer in fall, but it was still a fantastic weekend and we’d definitely stay at the Pool House again!

Lovely home and the pool kept the kids happy for hours and hours. Fire pit was lots of fun for making s’mores and kitchen was well stocked for us to make meals.

About the host

Hosted by Marshall

Host profile image
Family moved to Virginia in 2017 and have fallen in love with the whole state, from the ocean to the mountains. We bought the Pool House in 2018 and have updated the home and continue to. We have made it as 'walk in ready' as possible for us as a 2nd home, and for you too! This home has booked every week since we've owned it so we have bought 2 more vacation homes up here as well. Be sure to check out Mount Chipmunk
(6 bedroom, view of the slopes) and Blue Pine Lodge (4 bedroom super cute up in the top part of the mountain). We also now have a beach house on the Chesapeake - Pine Shore Beach House.

Why they chose this property

Massanutten truly is a four season resort. We were very excited to be able to own the only home on the mountain with a swimming pool. An indoor pool even! Wish we could come up every weekend. With the indoor pool, even rainy days are vacation days. Our kids love swimming in the pool looking out at the rain. After a day of skiing, the warm pool is a nice retreat. We keep the pool and the pool room at the same temperature as Great Wolf Lodge - 84 degrees. We've put in a lot of work improving the home and adding some touches that make it feel like a second home and not just a rental home. Great to have the extra privacy being on 2 lots.

What makes this property unique

After swimming, the best way to dry off is by a fire in the courtyard. Since the home is wrapped around the courtyard, there's no worry of a cold wind gust. Grab a bag of marshmallows on your way over! Inside the home we have Roku on all the TVs. . You can login to your Netflix, Amazon account or cable provider to use the apps. We have an account setup on the app YouTubeTV for 'regular tv'. There's a stereo system with a cord to plug in your phone (or bluetooth) to fill the home with some music.
