Great house. 3 super bedrooms and 2 that are nice but a little smaller. Kitchen is compact but has tons of tools and gadgets. Generous supplies - trash bags, laundry detergent, hand soap, bag of ice, dish soaps, toilet paper, etc. Managed to park 6 vehicles by “stacking them” and still have room to turn around. Hot tub felt great. Good outdoor space on the decks. Nice to have lower decking and stairs connecting. Massanutten Resort had loads of fun stuff to do. Water Park is a bit pricey.

Great place for JMU graduation
This property is clean and thoughtfully well-stocked. The deck was a lovely place to gather. Tip if you're looking to accommodate a group for graduation: We had 10 stay at this property ("Unique Massanutten Lodge") and two sets of grandparents stay at the Massanutten Resort Hotel (2-3 mi. quiet, easy drive up the mountain).

Wondeful getaway
We stayed here with 4 adults and 5 teens and had a great stay. The kitchen was well stocked with everything from a griddle to make pancakes to a crockpot. We started our days with coffee in the hot tub and ended with wine in the hot tub. We would definetly recommend this house and host.

Amazing week in the mountains
My family stayed at Michelle’s mountain home for a week over the New Year holiday and had an amazing time. The house had modern amenities while maintaining a rustic mountain ambience. My kids loved the bunk beds and toys/games provided by the host. Beautiful views from the crow’s nest above the master suite. The location was convenient for going to all the activities in Massanutten resort. We would love to stay here again!

From booking through checkout, the communication was fantastic. The property was exactly as described. We all had our own space, but all of the space we needed to hang out, play games, and cook in the wonderfully stocked kitchen. Highly recommend!

Lovely home!
We had a wonderful time. Property was immaculate, host made sure we had all the info we needed. The pre-stay info covered all the things we needed to know. The driveway was really steep but we made it up with compact cars just fine (during the summer), just go slower if your car is closer to the ground, but not too slow lol. We went to a local winery which was lovely as well. Grocery and abc stores were relatively close and on the way, so may want to stop en route so you don't have to navigate the driveway too much. Would definitely stay there again!

Great location to enjoy the Shenandoah Valley
My friends and I stayed here as part of a hiking trip. Property is well-located to enjoy all the valley has to offer with easy access to Harrisonburg and Charlottesville.
The property was well-maintained and offers a lot of space and amenities to help relax while there. Michelle (the host) was very responsive during our trip when questions arose.
Already thinking about future trips back to the area and would definitely stay here again.

Long weekend
In the area for a nephew's wedding. This home worked well for 8 adult family members to spend time together! The deck is a great place for breakfast with birds singing and beautiful trees. We rode the ski lift and played miniature golf - both just an 8 minute drive from the house. The master bedroom is great for people who want sun in the morning and lower level bedrooms for those who want it dark! Pictures are accurate to this beautiful home!!

Restful Retreat
We stayed here with our children, our friends, and their children over spring break. The lodge was beautifully appointed, with board games, a well-equipped kitchen, TVs and video games, and a hot tub. There were many minor-but-thoughtful touches throughout, too. Overall it was the perfect location for a restful retreat and reconnecting friends.
