Amazing House and Views!

This property was stunning! The pictures online are completely accurate. The house is stocked with everything you could ever think of. We enjoyed the furnishings so much that we ordered the exact mattress from our bedroom at this property for our bedroom at home! The hosts were extremely responsive and a treat to work with. Highly recommend this property, it’s first on our list when we return to Massanutten!

Amazing house!

We had a group of friends gathering for a long weekend. We were all impressed when we walked in. It lives up to the listing! We loved the theater room with very comfortable recliners! We also enjoyed the game room, the hot tub, and sauna. And we appreciated the nice touches such as the decor and robes/towels for the hot tub. The sunrise view is beautiful from this house. Loved it!

Hazy Bears Escapes is Amazing!

Our only dislike is that we didn't stay longer! This house is GORGEOUS! We traveled with 8 of us from age ranges of 3 year old, teens, twenties, thirties, and late forties ;) and all were entertained the entire time for a little winter break. Everything from the kitchen, beds, theater room, and dining room are so beautiful and comfortble. There is absolutely everything that you need there. The house is at a dead end, so it is very quiet. I didn't read reviews prior, but it is short walk down the driveway and another small hill and if you have lift passes already you can ride down to first lift, so it makes it very convenient to not have to drive and we were pleasantly surprised with that! Stephen and Stephanie were amazing at communicating with us. Every question or concern I had, they respoded immediately and are A host. You couldn't ask for better hosts. We used all the amenties in the house. We used the gas grille, the hot tub, the sauna, theater room, rec room, all the way down to the popcorn machine. Great time! We look forward to staying again in the future, because we will be back! Great family home. P.S. you won't get a better view than this house! Also, Instacart will come if you order early enough and weather permitting as well, if you don't feel like leaving the mountain. We just met them at the bottom when we needed some specific food items that we didn't bring with us.
