About this property

Massanutten For Kids II - w/ low ropes, playroom, and family fun!

This classic chalet-style cabin is set back from the street at the end of a court on a beautiful wooded lot... one of the largest in Massanutten. It backs to common space and has ample privacy, yet is minutes from all Massanutten activities and amenities.

The cabin features over 2500 square feet of indoor living space, a brand new kitchen (2023), a wrap around deck, and screened in porch. It's a great space for families, small groups, and kids of all ages.

The cabin has three levels of living space, three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a well-appointed and beautiful kitchen, a walk-out basement, rec room, a playroom for the kids, a flat driveway (a luxury around here in the winter), screened in porch, and a large wrap-around deck.

- For the kids - Inside
Every vacation home has a few board games and a deck of cards (this home is no exception), but we know how excited our own kids are when they find something new... so our playroom is stocked with blocks, dinosaurs, cars, trains, puzzles... etc. So there is plenty to keep even the little ones entertained on a rainy day.

- For the kids - Outside
And if its not a rainy day? We know that families come to Massanutten to enjoy the outdoors, and since our lot has such great outdoor space we wanted to provide a few options for the kids right here at the house. We've set up a low ropes triangle and balance beam and have plenty of wooded space for the kids to play. We also have cornhole boards and bean bags for your use at the house.

- Amenities -
We designed and furnished this cabin with our own family in mind. We love the outdoors and open spaces, and we love the look of exposed beams and the classic chalet-style cabin... Inside we wanted CLEAN (our home ALWAYS will be) and we wanted modern decor and amenities. and a fully stocked beautifully renovated kitchen for all your culinary needs.

- Things to do -
Our welcome packet includes many pages of recommendations for family friendly activities in and around Massanutten. We've done it all, and pointing you in the right direction so you get the most out of your vacation is our specialty! We're located smack in the middle of Massanutten Resort, not more than a couple of minutes from all resort activities including the ski slope, indoor/outdoor water park, rec centers, year-round tubing, two golf courses, go-karts, mini-golf, ice skating (seasonal), horseback riding, fishing ponds, playgrounds, and fantastic hiking. And of course, you can venture outside the resort to the nearby Shenandoah National Park, Shenandoah River, Luray Caverns, local wineries, lavender farm... etc. Options for outdoor entertainment in The Valley are endless.

- We make it easy -
We always provide our guests with linens and towels, dish soap, hand soap, laundry detergent, and other cleaners. We also provide starter sets of paper products like paper towels and toilet paper. Although we don't inventory other items, some essentials often stay stocked such as assorted spices, cooking oil, sweeteners… etc.

-Eligibility - Must be 25 to rent.

Beautiful Woods Retreat nestled in Massaunutten Resort

Couldn't ask for a better spot! close to the slopes and plenty of space for your group to spread out. Check in was super easy and owner provides a list of all home information. Check out was straight forward and home comes with all the essentials. Looking forward to staying here again!

Would come again!

This house is perfectly set up for babies and toddlers. The toy nook upstairs and playroom (with air hockey table) were big hits- we had a 7 month old and two three year olds. It’s super close to the water park and ski slope, so you won’t run out of things to do on a family vacation.

Christmas Vacation in Massanutten

We had a wonderful time in Massanutten during our Christmas holiday. Matt & Katie have the house set up nicely with good sleeping beds & plenty of toys & activities downstairs in the playroom for the kids to do. The TV in the downstairs room was a great asset for the family to hang out together & watch a movie. Matt was quick to reply to any of our needs & we would recommend their home for your mountain visit for sure!

Kid and grown up friendly

When the listing says kid friendly, these hosts mean it. We traveled with a tween and teen that were bummed we didn't stay here when the were younger. The place is well furnished, comfortable, and clean. They have toys for the younger crowd. A wonderful zip line. And baby items - gate, high chair, etc. Funny hey the baby gear fool you into thinking this is only a rental for kids. The living room was comfortable with a locker couch and relaxing views. The kitchen has everything you need to make a nice meal, The host was responsive and friendly. Answering all my questions and they provided a great guide to the area.We would definitely stay at this property again. The kitchen hadBooks,

Great for families with small kids!

We had a small stay with terrible weather, but the owners are right that there are a TON of toys for the kids and we didn't have any complaints. The best part is the basement with the toys is separate from the bedrooms, so the kids can play without having to wake up all the adults.

Great vacation close to home

We had a great stay close to home so the drive short but felt like worlds away. View in the mountains in the fall was amazing and the house met all of our needs. It was close to lots of things to do and my granddaughters loved all the toys the house had. We had an issue with the home that couldn't have been expected but the owner responded and fixed it immediately. We would have enjoyed a TV in the livingroom on the main floor but that's not a critisizm just a preference and maybe a few more blankets for the beds in basement or knowledge there weren't any and we would have brought our own. Loved the house and will be back for sure.

Clean, kid-friendly stay - a rare find

A great place for a long fall weekend as a family. The house was very clean - one of the very rare VRBOs we’ve stayed at where my son doesn’t leave sneezing due to dust. Our kids loved the zip line, rope course and jumping in the leaves, along with the air hockey table. Great launching point for both the water park and Shenandoah NP. Only fyi, bring soap for the shower and coffee beans/pods. We had them with us, so wasn’t an issue. We would definitely stay again!

Amazing week

We had an amazing stay with our 5 and 8 year old. They loved the zip line and the playroom and all the toys downstairs makes me never want to book a house again without those! The kids were constantly entertained! We had everything we needed for cooking and really enjoyed many activities in the area like the water park and Luray caverns. My kids are already asking to go back!

Kid friendly, but not super clean

This house was so fun for kids!! They had so many toys and things for kids to do. The zip line and ropes were awesome and nothing crazy. We had ages 7,6,2, and 9 months and it was great for those young ages. Wish there would have been a grill, but we knew from the listing that there was not and decided to make the trade off for the kids friendly things! My biggest complaint was that it wasn’t the cleanest.

Fantastic second visit

This was our family’s second time staying in this home while visiting Shenandoah, Massanutten, and other sites in the area! The home is very clean, nicely appointed, and has had some nice updates. The “high ropes” course in the yard is tons of fun for the kids. The location is fantastic and very quiet. The VRBO site and description are accurate. We would stay again!

Excellent Stay- Highly Recommend

For Kids II is perfect for a family getaway. We stayed here with family friends (4 adults and 2 children <5 in total) and this place was perfect! Centrally located to all the mountain activites and made it easy to get from all the various activities. The property itself has plenty to entertain the kids, so there is no need to pack all the extra toys! We will be back!

A great home for families with small kids

This house was really great for small children, as advertised. Our kids—3 and 5–loved it! There are so many toys and games and puzzles, Disney+ on the TV, carpeted steps, bathroom near the kids bedroom, a screened porch, a small ropes course in the yard. We were so pleased with this stay. Highly recommend to families with small children.

Perfect place for families with children

We stayed during Labor Day weekend. The listing met most of our expectations. Inside of the house and screened porch area were clean, however, seating and table on the deck looked like haven’t been cleaned for a while. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything we hoped for. Kids had fun playing on zip line. We will definitely consider staying here again.

Great Stay!

The propety was easy to find and easy to access. The bedrooms, kitchen, and bathrooms were all very clean. The kitchen was also well stocked for cooking! We have a 3yr old so going out to dinner every day is not relaxing at all. It was nice to be able to cook a few meals at the house instead. Our daughter loved the playroom downstairs and the smaller room upstairs with the dollhouse. My only complaint was a musty smell in the basement. The rest of my family had no complaints, I am just very sensitive to indoor allergies. My parents were also happy to find a TV in the first floor bedroom so they didnt have to go to the basement to watch television, but we spent most of our time outside!

Great woodsy quiet location

We met our daughter’s family here with our 4 grand daughters. The girls age 8,6,3,1 loved the books and doll house. The older girls liked the ropes, balance beam and zip line. My daughter and I liked coffee on the screened in porch. It was interesting to see Massanutten area and we enjoyed eating at the Campfire Grill. The kitchen was well equipped, the info on the website was accurate and the checkout instructions were easy to follow.

About the host

Hosted by Matt Carrier

Host profile image
We met at James Madison University and live in Northern Virginia with our three children. We volunteer at school, church, and with youth sports. We spend as little time as possible waiting in Tyson's Corner traffic.

We started coming back to The Valley years ago and found Massanutten to be the perfect weekend vacation spot for our family. This was something that I definitely did not anticipate as a ski instructor here in 1999.

We were very excited to purchase this home in the Summer of 2014, and have had fun preparing a great space to share with our friends and our guests.

Why they chose this property

We love the activities that Massanutten Resort provides, as well as the proximity to the endless opportunities for outdoor recreation in the Shenandoah Valley.

We love the look and feel of this house, but it's the outdoor space that makes it. Many of the lots at Massanutten are on fairly steep slopes and the outdoor space isn't as usable as we would like. We really wanted the kids to be able to play outside, and we knew right away that we could create an outdoor space here that our kids would love. This relatively level lot is one of the biggest in Massanutten, it backs to common space, and the house is set back at the end of a court.

What makes this property unique

There are tons of activities at Massanutten Resort and elsewhere in The Valley, but you don't even need to go anywhere to appreciate the outdoors from this home.

If you want to leave the house in the morning and come back at night, then you can stay anywhere. We like this place because our kids don't want to leave... and that means we can be more flexible when planning (or not planning) our days.
