Perfect NYE Stay!

My family (4 Adults, 4 Children) stayed at Mike's awesome property for New Year's. The kids ranged from 1 to 7 and loved everything about the house, especially the arcade. The host has thought of everything! Anything extra that would have been needed was provided. The kitchen was fully stocked, beds comfortable, and plenty of space for everyone. We stay at rental properties frequently, and this property ranks as one of the best! While visiting Massanutten we went to the water park, snow tubing, and did some snow sports. There was something for everyone! We hope to be back soon! Thank you Mike for sharing your awesome property with us!

Spankeys clubhouse

We had a great stay at Spankeys. Mike is a gracious host and was very responsive to our pre-visit questions. The house was a perfect location as base camp for us in our plans to spend most of our time hiking and enjoying Shenandoah NP. The house was clean, the master bed was comfortable and the kitchen was outfitted with all the gear needed (including a great waffle maker) as well as a fine assortment of coffee K-cups & chocolate treats. Thanks Mike for your hospitality! 👍 The

We’re ready to go back!

As soon as we walked in, we wished we had reserved more than 3 nights! The photos don’t do justice to this beautiful home. All of the furniture is high quality and super comfy, including the beds (and I’m picky about beds!) Mike goes above and beyond to be warm, hospitable, and accommodating. His home is impeccably clean and invites you to relax and have fun in a setting surrounded by nature but close to lots of activities. The details are well thought out and full of personality. I didn’t even think I would be into the arcade games but I had a blast playing them! When something unexpected happened, Mike was flexible and understanding with us. We kept saying we wanted to live there and we can’t wait to return for a longer time!

Great house - super fun stay

We just got back from our 4 night stay at Massanutten and honestly we wish it were longer. The house is perfect for kids. They loved the arcade in the lower level and got in some nice kids books on the back porch swing. The house is in a great central location and is fully stocked with everything needed for a great, no hassle stay.

Relaxing stay!

This cabin is true to its pictures and description. Clean and well maintained and the owner, Mike, is very responsive. The game room was a big hit with the whole family and we had plenty of room to spread out and relax. We used the kitchen for several meals and found it to be well stocked. Very quiet neighborhood and close to all the mountain activities. We appreciated the flat driveway as well.

Relaxing Getaway

Truly a comfortable place to come "home" to after a full day hiking in the mountains. Michael's place is clean, well supplied with every need & located in a beautiful setting. The lower level with multiple arcade machines could entertain a family for days. The top of the line washer & dryer made keeping up with the laundry quick & easy. Would rent again from this homeowner in a heartbeat.

Another 5 star stay!

In what has become a yearly tradition, we had another wonderful weekend in Massanutten. On the few occasions we were able to pry the children out of the house we enjoyed the arcade at the waterpark, the winter light show, go karting, and lunch at Base Camp. Mike has thought of everything, and this continues to be the most thoughtfully equipped vacation rental we have ever stayed at. Thanks for another great trip, see you next year!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Handley

Host profile image
We fell in love with Massanutten at first sight. It's a beautiful place with lots to see and do. We were fortunate to purchase our vacation home in 2013, spending several months renovating our home, yet retaining its rustic mountain charm. While we have been here for 20 years on the mountain, our extended family loves staying at our vacation home and we wanted to share with others our extraordinary mountain home.

Why they chose this property

We love our vacation home. It is in a quiet neighborhood and centrally located. Its only a short 5 minute drive to either the ski slopes or the waterpark. It's not uncommon to see many types of wildlife while relaxing on the decks.

What makes this property unique

Easy level parking and well lit driveway and walkway. Also there is not a lot of steps that our older guests appreciate. Open concept floor plan and located in the middle of the mountain which makes it close to everything!
