About this property

Easy Going Retreat @ Massanutten with Hot Tub & Firepit - Golf, Hike, Bike, and Ski!

Family-style home is located deep within the resort area. This home does require stairs - it is a split level home (all above grade) with a large Master Suite on the upper level which includes a spacious king bedroom, private bathroom with soaking tub, and a private office. The lower level has three bedrooms, 2 rooms with King Beds and 1 room with 3 Twin Beds and a Trundle. On the main level there is also a bonus room which has 2 futons for extra sleeping spaces if needed - there is no door on this room and is considered common space. The open-concept main level is well apportioned for comfort and allowing the group to spend time together. With a Covered Deck area with Hot Tub, large backyard, fireplace, and comfortable outdoor furniture it is a great place to get together and be comfortable. Enjoy yard games in the backyard or if it is a rainy day there is a ski-ball machine and a Ms. Pac Man machine inside for some game time!

The private office has a comfortable L-Shaped desk, docking station with USB-C connection, and a 34 inch Ultra Wide Monitor for ultimate productivity for those pesky times you have to get some work done.

Wonderful stay from start to finish!

One of the best rental experiences we’ve had thus far from start to finish. All the amenities, kid friendly activities and rooms, the hot cocoa and snacks for the littles were much appreciated!

Last minute getaway

The house was wonderful. The pictures don't do it justice. The rooms were large, the amenities were top notch. My family enjoyed all the comforts of home while away. Definitely a great place to stay.

First Class Stay in Massanutten

The house was pristine - the online pictures didn't do it justice. It was very well stocked with quality kitchen ware and really thick towels and blankets. Our kids enjoyed all of games available and we all loved the hot tub. The home is down the road a bit so we needed to drive to local sites - but it only took a few minutes to get to the waterpark or up the mountain to the pool. The property manager was also very responsive when we had a minor issue - this was by far the best vacation rental experience we've had in years! Thanks for everything.

Great place with everything you will need

Perfect stay for us. All the rooms are spacious. A lot of linings and pillow. Comfy couches in the family room and plenty of seating for dining. The snacks bar is great and well thought. The additional upstairs space with board games was a bonus.

LOVED IT! Had everything we needed and everythng we didn't know we needed! Great process to book, the staff was so helpful! Checking in was easy, house was clean and well stocked. We had tons to do there, and so close to everything else as well. The neighborhood was peaceful and hot tub so welcome after days on the slopes!

Great layout!

I can't say enough good things about the space! The pictures don't do it justice- especially the bedrooms. The layout of the space was perfect- spacious bedrooms, open floor plan and a great outdoor firepit. There was a fully stocked hot cocoa bar, too. We stayed in between Christmas and New Year's- 9 of us (with many different sleeping habits) sprawled out comfortably. The location is close proximity to skiing and downtown Harrisonburg for local shopping/dining. A visit to Cooter's garage for the Dukes of Hazard fans is a must! Definitely recommend staying here.

Great getaway for a JMU football weekend

We decided to rent a home for the weekend instead of a hotel with family. Plenty of room and ample space for our family of 10. Very clean and beautiful setting in Massanutten Resort! We would love to return next year!

Fantastic Find

Great property with amazing amenities. We were in town for JMU family weekend and it was easy ride to campus and out of the hustle and bustle. The property was inviting and the outdoor living and hot tub were great too. Definitely would look to rebook another trip.

SPECTACULAR

From start to finish the property was amazing. Our Family of two adult and three teenage boys and our pet had plenty of room. We have been coming to Massanutten for about 20 years and this place was hands down the best one we've stayed at. We found the one we will return to moving forward. Thank you, Walter P.

Better than advertised!

We had a fantastic stay! Everything at the house was super clean and new. The property had all the expected amenities and so many more, including a hot chocolate bar and treats for the kids and bowls and a food mat for the dog! The residential location offered quick access to both resort activities and local restaurants. We stayed here in the winter, and the house is well set up for summer fun, too!

We loved it!!!

The place was clean, comfortable, and had absolutely everything we needed for a family vacation! They have really thought of everything, even charging cords and forgotten toothbrush or razor! We loved that we had a huge master suite upstairs, the little office off the suite was awesome for my husband to check emails and do a little work in the morning with some privacy before we headed out for a day of adventure. The children had plenty of room downstairs and their own space. The whole family can't wait to come back!
