About this property
Massanutten Family Retreat: Hike, Lounge & Game On
Escape to Slippery Slope Lodge, a warm and inviting mountain home tucked inside the coveted Massanutten Resort. Thoughtfully renovated with modern amenities, this family- and pet-friendly retreat is designed for unforgettable group getaways, multi-family vacations, or even a productive remote work escape surrounded by the scenic Shenandoah Valley.
Whether you're skiing in the winter, hiking in the summer, or just looking for a cozy place to unwind, this is your home base for adventure.
🛋️ Relax & Reconnect in the Main Living Area
As you step inside, you're welcomed by the cozy glow of a wood-burning fireplace and an inviting seating where your group can gather for movies on the 65” LG smart TV. Picture yourself sipping morning coffee on the elevated deck, surrounded by trees and crisp mountain air, or curling up by the fire after a day on the slopes.
🍽️ Cook, Dine, & Entertain with Ease
The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need to whip up family-style meals—pots, pans, utensils, and even a coffee bar stocked with K-cups, creamers, and sugars. Share stories and laughter around the expandable dining table that comfortably seats 10–12 guests.
🎮 Endless Entertainment in the Game Room
Downstairs, the lower level transforms into your personal arcade and lounge. Catch the game or watch a movie on the second 65” LG smart TV, or challenge your friends to a retro showdown on NFL Blitz and Pac-Man. There’s something for everyone: foosball, dartboard, family board games, and even a giant Connect 4 in the garage.
As the sun sets, take your drinks out to the lower deck fire pit, where you can swap stories, roast s’mores, and soak in the fresh mountain air.
