Welcome to Woodside Refuge by TripForth – Your Private Mountain Escape in Massanutten

Tucked away among the trees with peaceful mountain views, Woodside Refuge is the kind of place where you can truly unplug, spread out, and enjoy the best of mountain living—without sacrificing comfort or fun.

This spacious 3-bedroom retreat comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests and is designed for connection, relaxation, and a little friendly competition. Whether you're planning a family getaway, couples trip, or weekend escape with friends, you'll find everything you need right here.

Why Guests Love Woodside Refuge:
• Private game room with foosball table – perfect for game nights and rainy days

Inside, the home blends rustic charm with modern comfort. The open living space invites you to gather around the fireplace, share meals in the full kitchen and dining area, or simply relax after a day on the mountain. Downstairs, the game room adds an extra layer of entertainment with a foosball table and additional lounge space.
Step outside and you’ll find your own private retreat—sip your morning coffee on the deck, fire up the grill for dinner, or end the night around the fire pit under the stars.

Sleeping Arrangements:
• 2 King Bedrooms
• 1 Queen Bedroom

Perfect spot for a Shenendoah Vacation

Great location for access to the park, which was our primary purpose of the stay. However, the proximity to the resort was great as the kids loved the waterpark. The property was clean and tidy, everything was provided and it was a very comfortable stay. Would certainly recommend to anyone traveling to the area.

The house was cozy and conveniently located near various amenities. It was approximately a 20-minute drive from JMU, depending on traffic conditions. The kitchen was well-equipped with utensils, though guests may wish to bring their own salt, pepper, and spices for cooking. Overall, it provided a pleasant getaway experience. We hope to utilize the amenities during our next visit. Our intention was to assist our daughter with her move to JMU while also enjoying a relaxing retreat. We brought our small dog, and despite the initial allowance for two pets, our dog Bolt thoroughly enjoyed the stay too.

Great spot for multiple couples

We really enjoyed our stay. Even though there were only 2 of us (and the dog). We would certainly go back with another couple, it is ideal for that as there was plenty of room and we could each have our own king/bath combo. That is hard to find AND the property was central to our activities.

The house was perfect for our family and excellent yard for dogs. Might need to have the air conditioning checked out as it did get a bit warm upstairs in the afternoon but wasn't hot enough to complain. I would definitely recommend to others and hope to stay here again next year!
