Absolutely Fantastic

The house was absolutely perfect for a weekend trip with 5 friends. Clean, well-stocked, and in a great location. None of us could stop talking about how nice it was. We’re already discussing another potential visit in the autumn.

Great home! Convenient to JMU.

The pictures in the listing do not do this house justice. It’s a lovely gem in the heart of Masanutten. It is the most well-equipped VRBO we’ve ever stayed in! It was perfect for our group of friends and family who were in town for JMU graduation.

Great spot

This house was perfect for a long weekend skiing. Only a 1 minutes drive to the ski lodge. The property was clean and all of the little extras like snacks and laundry detergent were a huge plus. Only complaint was that everyone thought their beds were extremely hard, other than that we loved it.

Perfect stay for JMU Graduation Weekend

The only way we could have family (12 of us) attend our son's graduation was to rent a large house. Acorn lodge met our requirements and made our visit memorable. Enough room for everyone to sleep in a comfortable bed and being able to cook meals for everyone made it cost effective. Property was "as advertised " and everyone in our family is still talking about it. Everyone said we need to book it again in 4 years when our incoming freshman will graduate. Thanks for everything!!
