Heart of Massanutten Mountainside Retreat, Summer Fun for the Whole Family

Welcome to your perfect year-round escape in the heart of Massanutten Resort! Nestled among the trees in our privately owned spacious three bedroom, two bathroom home blends comfort, fun, and unbeatable access to the best of the resort, just steps from the slopes and tubing hill on Massanutten’s only ski-out street.

Upstairs, you’ll find two comfy bedrooms, a full bath, and a convenient washer and dryer. Downstairs features an open-concept living and dining area, a fully stocked kitchen, and the primary suite with a full bath. Both the dining room and the primary bedroom open onto a back deck with a beautiful view, perfect for grilling, outdoor dining, watching the deer or simply relaxing in the mountain air.

When it’s time for fun, we have plenty to do in our house! Challenge friends to the stand-up arcade game, play a round of ping-pong with the portable set or a round of games with the board games we provide.

Beyond the door, adventure awaits you in every season. In winter, ski and tube just steps away. In warmer months, enjoy hiking, golf, zip-lining, mountain biking, mountain coaster, horseback riding, go-karts, mini-golf, and the resort’s incredible indoor water park. The scenic Shenandoah River is just 5 miles away and is ideal for kayaking, tubing, or fishing.

Whether you’re seeking a cozy winter getaway, watching the leaves change in fall, enjoying spring blossoms or a summer mountain adventure, our Massanutten get away has everything you need for a memorable stay.

Property was clean, well stocked, and great fun for the kids. The Unit had everything we needed including a fully stocked coffee bar, extra soap, shampoo, detergent, kitchen sponge, and towels. Thank you for the owners for providing all these extra items. My kids loved playing the arcade games, eating outside, and enjoying the pool and other resort amenities. We were all sad to leave!

I highly recommend this Massanutten vacation rental (10/10)! Our hosts, Mary and Chris, communicated beautifully and made the check-in process incredibly smooth, quick, and easy. The property's decor and aesthetics are gorgeous, and we thoroughly enjoyed hanging out by the outdoor fire pit. You can even see the new rollercoaster at the Massanutten Family Adventure Park right from the back balcony! Just a quick tip for future guests: the property is high up on the mountain, so be prepared for your ears to pop on the drive to and from the property, but the incredible views and location are entirely worth it.

Chech-in/out was very easy and the host was nice.We had our dog along on this trip too and it was nice to walk inside and see a basket with bowls, poop bags, and a few toys! Definitely made us feel welcome, we would stay again!

Be ready for stairs. Master, living room and kitchen are on lower level. Rooms, bedding and bathrooms were clean. Furniture and amenities didn’t match the listing. We also experienced some electrical issues and mold or something in the bathroom ceiling. Over all we enjoyed our stay and the resort.
