Lovely vacation home
The property was very clean and spacious. The three floor layout is great for a large family gathering. The house is very well equipped with everything we needed during our stay including kitchen items, high chair for our grandchild and even games our other grandchildren enjoyed.

Ski weekend
The property was clean and well furnished. We would have liked to see bunk or twin beds in one of the rooms, but we understand there may be occupancy limits placed on the owners by local ordinance that prevent this. We felt that for the cleaning fees, there should have been a garbage service other than us bringing the garbage 4 miles away or face a $75 fee. We had to plan schedules daily to bring the garbage to the dumpster, which was not part of the plan, especially on check out day when we were going in the opposite direction. I would also encourage renters to read the rental agreement as there were items in the welcome binder that we learned at arrival that would have financially impacted our stay if something had gone awry that we probably should have known before we arrived or we would have asked about short term rental insurance. Overall great house and enjoyable weekend.

OUTSTANDING home
What a beautiful, welcoming, comfortable home! The house was spotless, spacious and nicely decorated. The kitchen was generously stocked with absolutely everything you would need from wine and champagne glasses, Pyrex, cutting knives, nice pots and pans etc. There was hot cocoa,snacks, tea, bowls for our dogs etc. I could go on and on - nicest home we have ever stayed in at Massanutten - felt like we were staying at a friends house! Beautiful Christmas tree and stockings on the mantel as well! Would give this home and owners 10 stars if I could.

Great for a large group of people!
The lodge was beautiful and extremely neat and tidy when a group of 8 of us arrived. We were surprised by how many kitchen and cooking items there actually were! Although you do have to bring your own food, the lodge had everything we needed to cook and clean. There even were some basic spices and oils for us to use if we wanted (as well as coffee and snacks) although do plan to bring your own groceries (there’s a food lion not far from the lodge). The rooms were big and spacious as well as the bathrooms. There are 3.5 baths and the fire pit and fireplaces were a really great addition. The only thing is that you do have to take your own trash out to the dumpster 2.5 miles away, which in my opinion should be included as a service if I am paying a cleaning fee anyway. Other than that, would definitely recommend to a larger group looking for a quick getaway!

Long Weekend Vaca
Great accommodation, nice size rooms and updated bathrooms. Very warm and loved home. Pretty clean, dog hair on couches and rugs. Found it supprising because the rental agreement stated no pets. There clearly is a pet that stays that affected some family and children's allergies. Found some kitchen utensils to not be fully clean but other then that. Our stay waa great.

One of the best properties we have stayed in
This was by far one of the best properties we’ve stayed in. Everything was super clean, beds were comfortable, hosts had thought of all the little things to include to make life easier. Location was convenient to both Massanutten and to get to food in Harrisonburg. Would 100% stay here again!

Outstanding Cabin in Massanutten
100% recommend this property. Beautiful, well-appointed and very clean. So many 'extras' provided. Probably one of the best properties we have stayed at. FYI driveway has a very sharp turn into it and is very steep.

lovely house
It was just perfect for our family, and was close to all the activities in Massanutten resort. There was a well stocked Food Lion for groceries and supplies 5 minutes away. The driveway is steep and has a tight curve that takes some effort to navigate, but the house is so comfy that it was worth it.

Amazing Massanutten Rental
This was our 5th winter trip to Massanutten and the best house we've rented by far! It was super clean and nicely decorated. The house was so well equipped and had everything we needed. The welcome snacks and coffee/tea/cocoa were such a nice touch. We're definitely interested in renting again!

Lovely home
This was our first time to the area for snow tubing with kids ages 9 and 11. We rent vacation homes often and this one ranks very high in cleanliness which is important to us. This was also our first family “ski trip” so this review may reflect our amateur status in renting winter cabins . These are the pros and cons. Pros: - very well stocked kitchen for cooking ! - good supply of household products and there was shampoo and conditioner in the bathrooms so we didn’t need to bring our own toilet paper, paper towels , napkins , tissues etc - management team is very responsive - tvs all had streaming channels which was very convenient - coffee and snacks provided was very nice -an easy drive to Massanutten tubing -upstairs master bedroom has best balcony and view - couches and beds were very comfy! - nice to have the basement door be the main access bc we used that as a place to leave shoes and all our snow gear Cons: - the driveway is very very steep and tricky to maneuver. We didn’t have a 4wd and I would have been nervous to attempt it in our minivan with any kind of ice on the ground -very steep stairs to get to the house from the front . Best to go on the stairs by the garage if you need to get to front otherwise the basement door access is best. - back deck was nice but you can’t easily access it . You have to go out the laundry room and walk around the side of the house . There was some old snow on the ground which made it a bit slippery to walk on so we didn’t use the back deck at all. It would be better to have some sort of paved walkway if no direct access from the house . -upstairs has 3 bedrooms but only one shared bathroom . It worked fine for us with 2 families. - the extra fees can add up to the final cost of the home. There was an additional fee for the property management company and then they make you pay for damage insurance even if you have your own trip insurance that covers damages Note The policy for late checkout is strict. We asked for an extra 2 hours to check out at noon since no one was checking in that day in anticipation of the snow coming and not wanting to leave so early but they have a strict no late checkout so we ended up leaving the night before to be to be safe. Overall a very lovely home with nice amenities and excellent responsiveness

Epitome of the perfect rental
My wife and I have rented many exceptional homes in the past. This one set the bar for excellence! We had eight adults in our party (four couples). The house appeared to be new on the inside, perfectly clean and had high end design, appliances and furniture. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and plenty of extra glasses, silverware etc. The house had a great open layout but managed to provide privacy at the same time. The two porches and deck gave us multiple options for enjoying the outdoors. We will definitely return!

Perfect for Family
This property was the most well-stocked home I’ve ever stayed in! The owners really thought of everything. Myself, my husband, my 3-yr old, my newborn, my parents, my sister and her newborn met here to give the grandparents a chance to meet the babies. We cooked and grilled with all the essentials already in the home. We had one unforeseen issue on arrival but the property managers were very responsive and resolved the issue right away. The water park was close by and we all had a really good time. We definitely plan to return and stay again.
