This was a great property for six adults. The rooms were spacious, so could likely fit additional people on air mattresses if needed. There was a spacious living room with games and a big tv for entertainment. The kitchen appliances seemed new and updated. All three rooms were clustered together in one area of the house, which means you can hear other guests pretty easily. The hall bathroom shower is a bit loud and can be heard against the master bedroom, but it wasn’t a big problem. The back porch is partly screened and partly open, it was very nice. The hosts were responsive too. The app for check-in took some time to set up and add other guests, but once it was all set up it was great and seemed very secure. I was visiting with some friends for JMU homecoming, and it was about 30 minutes from JMU, which worked out fine for us. I would certainly stay here again!

Very nice get away close to all the mountains and events at the resort. This would be ideal for a family get away. The house was clean and comfortable for a weekend getaway in the fall. Loved the screened in porch. And the kitchen was well set up for stay. Recommend for future get away.

Great spot to stay to visit our JMU Dukes! Two quick notes: the shower in the main bedroom leaks a bit, and a chair in that bedroom was almost broken.

Graduation Weekend

The home was just as described. We’ve stayed in other properties in Massanutten and this was by far our favorite. Managers/owners provided clear directions, the house was well-appointed and the screened in porch was perfect for morning coffee.

Great House

This property was awesome. Very cozy & comfortable. Some of the most soft carpet ever. The only issues we had was with the app that is used to lock and unlock the door. It doesnt work great. Maybe a lock that utilizes a code would be more helpful.

The house was ideal for a long weekend massanutten trip but the external ice conditions were extremely unsafe, the house was not up to code lacking working fire and carbon monoxide alarms, and the host was very unresponsive, often failing to respond to messages for over twenty hours. VRBO was apparently unable to get in direct contact with the host about the unsafe ice conditions but the problem was solved within their 24 hour window, no solution for lacking alarms was made over the 4 night stay.

Awesome house

The property was beautiful and very accurate with the listing. However, the cleanliness was a little disappointing. The deck looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned it weeks. We had to clean before using it. The kitchen rug for spotted and soiled. Just a little TLC would have made our stay better. For the amount we paid for cleaning along with the mandatory insurance, we should have received better.

Good overall, some challenges

Overall the house is great, clean, nice location, well equipped. I stayed there with my elderly mother who uses a walker because it’s a one story and had a few challenges with the big step to get in the house, no handles in the shower, the beds were too high and the gravel driveway. But there were wide doors and hallway. To unlock the house I had to download an app, create an account, log in, and use my phone. If anyone else needed to lock or unlock the door I had to provide their name and number so they could do the same. Kinda inconvenient vs a code. The place could use some small touches like extra pillows, throw blankets, a hair dryer but we appreciated the toiletries starter kit. Note that it is not really a mountain view but you can see a mountain through the trees in the back. And you can’t set the thermostat above 70 degrees.

Kristine, We wish we would have know prior to your stay about elderly mother and we would have placed you in one of our different properties that would have been more accommodating for someone elderly.

Wanted a single story house to have adult family members enjoy JMU graduation weekend. Better alternative to 3 hotel rooms …close enough to enjoy events but still have downtime together.

Beautiful, clean, updated home

This was a perfect long weekend getaway. The house is very well located right beside the mountain resort. It is well furnished, clean, updated and exactly as described. We loved settling into the living room to binge watch Netflix after hiking the trails in the Shenandoah!!!

We enjoyed our stay!

Everything was great about our stay except their was a bad ant problem in the kitchen area. And in the listing it says the home can sleep 8 people but it can not. The home can only sleep 6. Their are 3 bedrooms with three large beds but no pull out couch or air beds, so the home in fact can not actually sleep 8 people. Other than that, the home was beautiful and we had a great time.

July Mini-Vacation

Newly renovated home, nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac that provided us a nice little escape for a few days. The screened porch and deck make for relaxing places to take in the fresh mountain air! The property manager was extremely responsive as well! Will definitely consider staying here again if in Massanutten!
