Fantastic property

This is our 2nd time staying here. We were a large extended family staying here for an After Christmas Annual Gathering. Payton’s Peak was perfect for our 22 guest and one toddler group. So many fun things to do for all age groups. Plenty of space to cook and play together. The caretaker Josh was very helpful. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect home for a large group

Such a great home and property! We loved our time at Payton’s Peak and hope to come back again. The house has so much space - even enough seating for everyone at meal times. The property is private feels like a retreat. The charcuterie boards are such a great touch and came at the perfect time after a long day at the waterpark. We can’t wait to come back!

Best family vacation house to date

This house is beautiful and was perfect for our huge family of 29 ranging from 4 months to 70 years old. It had everything we could need. The maintenance man was so kind and installed the baby gates for us (which were already there). I would love to come stay here again!

Family reunion

This beautiful and unusual house accommodated the 25 of us with room to spare. The kids had myriad game rooms, toys and entertainment options. We had plenty of space to be all together or find a quiet space. The kitchen is well-equipped to prepare meals for and seat everyone together. Highly recommended for a shirt or long stay

East Coast Family Meetup

We were a group of 34 family members from 4 generations coming together from Cali, NC, Ga, Va, DC, Md and NY who met up for a short vacation. This house was perfect for us because there was space for everyone to be together and space for each age group to visit/play separately. We loved it and had a fabulous time.

Perfect for Large Family Gathering

The size was perfect for our large group, especially the kitchen. The house was one of the cleanest rentals we've stayed in, which is impressive given the square footage. The fruit & cheese trays were an unexpected & thoughtful gift for new years eve. Per the recommendation of prior reviewer, we did bring a shower curtain rod to hang a fabric door for the one bathroom off of the large sleeping room to give privacy to that group, and it worked well. So much room to spread out over the weekend, that everyone had the space they needed. Overall a fantastic stay!

Great Stay in a Huge Mansion!

We were a group of about 35 adults that stayed in Payton Peak for a long weekend. There was plenty of space to sleep, to eat, and to socialize. The property is really huge, with something for everyone - a grill, a hike, firepit, boardgames! For such a huge property, it’s pretty clean and well-maintained. No neighbors, so feels like a private retreat. The maintenance guy was super friendly and helpful. Everyone in our group really enjoyed the stay, and is looking to come back one day!

This home is incredible. There was plenty of space for our large family. Kim is a great host and replies immediately to any communication. Josh (maintenance man) stopped our first night to introduce himself and let us know how to get in touch with him if we had any issues. They go above and beyond to make sure your stay is best. We definitely will be going back.

Huge house lots of options

We had a great stay at Payton’s Peak. The house provides so much room for large families. It was nice to have an adult space to relax while the kids could play as loud as they want. The home is in between the two largest attractions at Massanutten which makes for a short drive to each. Kim was super nice and even allowed us to hike up her property to the peak with amazing views. Highly recommend

You Will Love This Place!

This is one of the most interesting homes and pieces of property you will find. It was our third year in a row and the property only continues to improve. This year, we decided to explore the grounds and took a hike to the top of the property. It has it's own overlook where you can see the ski slopes and the mountains. There is always something new on the property which this year included ping pong, video games and some very unique bar furniture! Kim, the owner, is always responsive and Joel, the caretaker, aims to please. We cannot wait for next year as we will certainly be back!

Payton's Peak

This was our second time staying here. The home has only improved! With the lack of snow and nice weather, the adults took advantage of the two outdoor firepits while the kids explored the generous grounds. The home is well-equipped as almost everything you would reach for at home is readily available here. The Owner and Maintenance man are very responsive, friendly, and eager to please. We look forward to staying here again soon!
