Very clean. Lots of space. We wish we could have used the house but too busy for us to really enjoy. Hosts were easy to reach and everything was as promised. Hope to stay again and use the downstairs.

This is so nice. Thank you for the kind words about your stay with us at Rocktown Retreat. Our hope was that families would enjoy it just like we do- we appreciate that you did! We hope to have you next time you are in town
We really enjoyed our stay at this very updated and cozy house. The house was well stocked with items and had a very comfortable check-in process. We really enjoyed the amenities the house provided, and the QUIET back porch. My only criticism is that this house does not comfortably sleep 10 adults, as there are only 3 beds, and 2 bunk beds.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Rocktown Retreat, including the updated and cozy house, the well-stocked items, and the comfortable check-in process. We apologize for any inconvenience regarding the sleeping arrangements. The bunk beds are actually queen-sized and not a standard single, making it a total of 4 queens and 1 King. We will recheck the description on the site to make sure that is clear. Again...we appreciate your review and hope to host you again in the future.
The property looked new and clean, it looked just like the pictures as advertised. There was always a rapid response for any questions or concerns we had before during and after our stay. We saw deer in the back yard and thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Thank you for the kind words about your stay with us at Rocktown Retreat. The deer in Massanutten are protected so you'll see soooo many throughout the property. Spring time when all the babies come out is really sweet too. We hope to have you back soon.
Dave and Laurie
Lovely, clean, comfortable & great location. Massenutten is a beautiful area and not too far from JMU. The resort has a lot of amenities to take advantage of. House had great decor and lots of fun games for chilling and silly family time! Host were very attentive. Thank you! Could have used a couple more towels, appreciated the extra blankets, and fans. Beds a little hard. Thank you!

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad to hear that you found Rocktown Retreat lovely, clean, and comfortable. It’s great that you enjoyed the decor and had fun with the games!
We appreciate your feedback about the towels and beds; we’ll certainly take that into consideration to improve future stays. Thank you for your kind words about our attentiveness. We hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable visit soon!
We had a great family trip to Rocktown retreat. The house was beautiful and located in a quiet cu-de-sac. It has an open floor plan with bedrooms on the main level and a bedroom, bathroom, and huge game/living area downstairs. This worked perfectly for our family and pets. David was also very responsive. We would definitely stay here again.
The house is so comfy, clean, and pristine with everything you need for a delightful getaway. The weather turned to rain instead of snow but that didn’t slow down the fun. My teenage sons and their older cousins had a blast doing competitions in the game room. We made wonderful memories!
The owner, David, was great to coordinate with and we appreciated the flexibility and options to prolong our stay. Rocktown Retreat rocks and we hope to be staying there again soon.

We had an amazing weekend stay at Rocktown Retreat. During the booking process, the host was quick to respond and very helpful. He even sent a guidebook with recommendations to local restaurants. We tried 3 of the restaurants and none of them disappointed!
The house is even more stunning in person! It is clean, spacious and inviting.
When we weren’t busy enjoying all the attractions Massanutten has to offer, we stayed in, played pool, watched movies in front of the warm fire place, and sat out on the deck watching the abundance of wildlife in the woods behind the house.
Overall we had great little trip and I highly recommend this property.

My friends and I stayed here during the Labor Day weekend and we couldn’t have asked for a better rental to spend our time in!
The rooms, bathrooms, living spaces were all extremely clean. There was plenty of dinning and kitchenware that were provided for us to use which made cooking and eating really easy. Other than the clean kitchen/dinning area, we spent a lot of time in the basement since it was cozy and there were plenty of activities (pool table, ping pong, tv, etc) for us to enjoy. Lastly, David (host) was very responsive to all my questions and helpful throughout our time here.
Overall, this was an amazing rental with an amazing host. Highly recommend!!!
