About this property

Firefly Hideaway @ Massanutten Very secluded/ No Bunk Beds

Firefly Hideaway @ Massanutten - backs up to the National Forest. This is our newest vacation home in Massanutten and the one we actually use most often for our personal use. There are no bunk beds at this home! Everybody gets their own bed to sleep in at this home.

Master bedroom downstairs with King size bed. Bedroom #2 - Queen, Bedroom #3 - Queen, Bedroom #4 - 4 single beds. The HD TVs have Roku boxes with DirecTVStream for regular channels.

We have a variety of games and toys for kids of all ages, such as Big Outdoor Connect 4, Uno, Phase 10, and assortment of books and action figure sets.

We have a dedicated Retro Atari spot upstairs attached to a dedicated HD TV with Retro Atari game system. We also added a standup Arcade cabinet in the living room in 2024 as well as 2 brand new couches.

The bedrooms come with clean sheets already tucked in for you, and a towel and face cloth for each guest to use. We even have toothbrush holders by the sink. The bathtub and shower have shampoo, conditioner and body wash so you don't need to bring your own. You might want to bring your own pool towel if you plan on visiting the Massanutten Water Park, as they don't supply towels. There is also a bidet in the downstairs bathroom!

TVs in the Living Room, Master Bedroom have DirecTV Stream. The TVs in the Big bedroom and 2 Queen bedroom TVs do not have DirecTV Stream, but do have other TV apps and you are welcome to login with your favorite app.

The dining room table seats 8, and there's a tall chess table that comfortably seats 4 in the living room.

Outside on the front patio is a gas bbq grill, dining table and chairs, and a huge Connect 4 standing game. In the backyard is a fire pit and rack of firewood.

Most of the time you can arrive at the house before the 4pm posted time, unless it's busy, like summertime. If someone is checking out on your check-in day, we'll let you know if you need to wait until 4pm, the same with check-out.

* Sorry, we can not allow animals at this home, no matter how small or well trained because our kids have crazy allergies.

Massanutten is truly a 4 season resort. Massanutten Resort has many great activities available to book online through their website. Massanutten offers skiing, snow and grass tubing, 2 golf courses, an award winning indoor/outdoor water park, mountain biking, ziplining, putt-putt, go-carts, There are also about 30 miles of hiking trails. Most Resort activities are available to our guests for an additional fee and should be booked online before your arrival, through Massanutten Resort's website.

Great stay for weekend getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Firefly Hideaway home. The home was very clean, well kept, and even more beautiful than the photos. The location was perfect, not too far back into the resort. The home is well appointed with many conveniences for families to be comfortable. The hosts thought of just about everything from towels to games to coffee. Our family would definitely stay again. Highly recommend.

Awesome!

Only downside….my kids didn’t want to leave the place! It’s great, easy, and just all around a wonderful place to stay. The boys loved the room with the 4 beds, and we were really comfortable with the 6 of us. We will be back.

Firefly Hideaway

We were completely satisfied with this rental. The home is tastefully decorated and very clean. Everything is at your finger tips in this "home away from home". The homeowner was super responsive and gave us some great information about the area that made our stay even more enjoyable. We hope to rent again next year!

Lovely house in the mountains

We enjoyed our time at the house. It was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. We were there for JMU football and it was an easy ride back and forth into Harrisonburg. We enjoyed the mountain views and a hike along the ridge. Would like to come for longer next time to enjoy all that massanutten has to offer. Check in/out was very easy and Marshall was very responsive and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!

Nestled in Nature!

My husband and I had never been to Massanutten before. We specifically chose Firefly Hideaway because it backed up to a national forest and had a more secluded backyard. Sitting in the firepit area was very relaxing...just drinking in the nature around us. AND...the full moon shone through the floor to ceiling living room window last night and was just glorious! Marshall was very good at communicating and answering my questions as we chose our vrbo, and we enjoyed our stay at their lovely cabin in the woods!

Cozy Firefly Getaway

My family of 8 enjoyed the cozy comforts of this home. I liked the necessities - seasonings, good cook and tableware. I also liked the controlled thermostats in every room. Thanksgiving dinner was deliciously prepared and felt like a home away from home. Marshall quickly responded to my concerns. This was a week of total fun and the fire pit area was an added touch of wow. The bedding was hotel luxury quality as well as the linens and towels. The $400 security deposit detail should be displayed in the price breakdown/listing. We were minutes away from activities and dining.

Easter Family Gathering

Our family traveled to Virginia from NY and PA to spend Easter weekend with our daughter who attends JMU. It was a short drive to visit campus and enjoy our favorite restaurants in Harrisonburg. Firefly Hideaway was very welcoming and provided a comfortable, spacious living area for us to spend time together without feeling like we were on to of each other. During our stay we enjoyed the extensive library, video games and outdoor games on the decks. The kitchen was well stocked and made cooking Easter brunch and dinner a breeze. I appreciated the communication with Marshal, the owner. He provided us with all the the information we needed prior to our arrival and was easily reached and responsive during our stay. We enjoyed our stay at Firefly Hideaway and would recommend to anyone that was looking for a getaway. The area offers many activities, but the property itself has plenty to offer if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation.

Wonderful retreat and experience

Marshall's property is top-notch. You can tell they are fantastic property owners. The house was incredibly well furnished, with comfortable furniture, kitchen items, plenty of seating, and small comforting touches like books (including children's books), games, and smart TVs. The property was immaculate and we enjoyed every bit of it including the front and back deck with the oversized connect four set, fire pit, and cute walkways through the woods. Marshall was a fantastic host. We were in a bind and immediately needed accommodating. He was able to accommodate us within 30 mins. He provided calm, professionalism, and hospitality in our time of need. Our trip was going to be a very big letdown until he came to the rescue. Thank you, Marshall, and the VRBO staff.

About the host

Hosted by Marshall

Host profile image
Moved to Virginia in 2017 and have fallen in love with the whole state, from the ocean to the mountains. In 2018, we purchased our first vacation home in Massanutten - The Pool House (vrbo # 1410173). We updated the home and made it as 'walk in ready' as possible for us as a 2nd home, and for guests too! We enjoy Massanutten so much and being hosts that we now have 4 vacation rental homes in Massanutten, and a beach house on the Chesapeake. I'm now managing these full time as Highlight Homes. HighlightHomesVA 'com

The other homes --->
* The Pool House * https://www.vrbo.com/1410173
* Blue Pine Lodge * https://www.vrbo.com/1900458
* Mount Chipmunk * https://www.vrbo.com/1951029
* Pine Shore Beach House * https://www.vrbo.com/1778460

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the privacy of this home. It's at the end of a cul-de-sac, lot next door is vacant, so even more trees and the home backs up to the National Forest, so the back yard just goes on forever. We bought this home with the intention of it being our 2nd home that we will use the most. The size and layout fit us perfectly for bringing family friends with us.

What makes this property unique

Very secluded, backs up to national forest. Very quiet street.
