Pleasantly surprised!

The home was comfortable and clean. The Host was very gracious in supplying a lot of extras like; coffee, sugar, creamer, soap (kitchen & bathroom), paper towel, toilet paper and so much more. Thank you for your kindness. The house and location were perfect, I would rent this home again.

Need a few tweaks

When we arrived it was already dark and there were no lights on and the front motion detector was not working. The owner was contacted and the handyman arrived the next morning and fixed it. However, the cleaning of the refrigerator, microwave and stovetop were missed. Another thing of note is the PlayStation downstairs is actually a PS2 so don't expect an updated gaming system, and the bean bags look nothing at all like what was in the pictures, they could actually be replaced as it was like sitting on the actual floor. The wood on the deck needs replacement. The home is located in a quiet friendly neighborhood and is stocked with your basic kitchen staples.

Great house!

Our family had a great weekend getaway. The house was convenient to the Massanutten restaurants and attractions and the kids really enjoyed the game room downstrairs. The property was clean, comfortable and in a nice neighborhood. I communicated a handful of times with the property owner and she was always very quick to respond.

Perfect Family Ski Weekend Spot

What a great place to spend the weekend while skiing at Massanutten. Everything is so close by. And the house is spacious. The game room and fire pit were added fun!

Safety Issues, Not Kid Friendly

The exterior property was not maintained, our three year old son fell into a pond that was not visible because of heavy leaves. 90% of the fire alarms were not hooked up. There was exposed electric, no cover plate in bedroom. The homeowner did so many little things to make the stay nice, little details. Hard to appreciate those things when there was the simplest and most important things that are ignored. The homeowner did offer to come fix the fire alarms, which was nice, but at that point, we were settled. A basic safety inspection should be conducted before having a family in your space. The house is not up to code

Great Place To Chill Between Snow Activities

We had a great weekend stay at this house. Very clean and spacious and the kids loved the game room. Happy there was a full assortment of cooking pans and utensils since we cooked more often than planned. Checking in and out was super easy.

activity-filled getaway

I wanted a getaway near-ish to DC with my teenagers -- this had everything we needed, access to caverns, waterpark, skiing. We watched movies and played plenty of foosball. All in all a great, short escape.

Fun weekend in the woods

We were back for a second time at Skylight House. It is a wonderfully welcoming home with lots of attention to details. The main living space is bright and airy with a very comfortable seating area. Our kids loved playing downstairs in the game room. There was lots to keep everyone busy. It is a very nicely decorated home!

Graduation Weekend

You will absolutely love staying here! We rented this property during graduation weekend and it was perfect for our family of 5. The house is exactly as described in the listing with plenty of space for all of us. Everything you need for your stay is provided including a nice variety of shampoos and body wash. We really enjoyed the game room with nightly ping pong games! The neighborhood is quiet and great for daily walks. The owners were easy to communicate with when I had questions and needed to modify my reservation. We will definitely stay at this property again.

The best ever!

I have rented countless units through VRBO and by far, this one was one of the very best (if not the best)! The property owner was responsive, helpful, and kind. She went out of her way for us with our special requests, The unit was so relaxing and beautiful that we wanted to stay longer but couldn't because it was booked! It says a lot about a place when we'd rather stay "home" than go to the activities. I had tween/teenagers with me and they loved, loved, loved the house with the pool table/ping pong, sound system, video games, etc. etc. I can't say enough on how wonderful the place is. Thank you Eliz!

Wonderful Location to Waterpark

When entering the Skylight you experience an open lit up living area and kitchen! Lots of sliding glass doors and the huge skylight in the ceiling is very inviting! Comfy living room couches and chairs, even a small table in corner for kids to sit and play games or on their computers, lovely dining room with another huge open window and large table for entire family to sit and eat together or play a family game. Loved the location to the waterpark, just minutes, very centrally located to everything, go carts, Campfire Grill, General Store, etc. Our 6 yr old grandson especially enjoyed the frog pond too! The VRBO consultant Eliz, was amazing, any questions we had she responded back to us immediately! Our family made many fond memories @ The Skylight!! So thank you once again VRBO!!
