Thanks for this review, Susan. It seems unfair to poorly rate a home based on clearly stated items and pictures. It is up to the guests to review a property during their booking process and make sure it has desirable amenities, such as a TV in a primary bedroom, and not undesirable amenities, such as steps leading down to the property.

beautiful scenic view. All essential items were there. The number of beds shown in the lay out was not correct. The maximum guests can sleep were 8. Fortunately one of the guest didn't come. So we were ok. It was advertised as 10 people can sleep. I would come back as the rent was fare and house was maintained properly.

Great winter long weekend getaway

We had a great time at this property over MLK weekend. Easy directions with after hours check in, great location up the mountain by the skiing and tubing with easy parking, well stocked kitchen, great views and house as expected. We got some nice fresh snow the first morning that didn’t stick further down the mountain which was great for the kids. The 2 adult beds are checked as queens although the write up does say one is a double. I believe both are doubles but I didn’t measure them or anything. Either way we had a great time and it was big enough for the 10 of us with 6 kids under 10. House was very clean and had a nice selection of games.

Thank you for this incredible review, Tom! I love the views and decks in this property - such a great place to relax and enjoy good company. The bed upstairs in the suite room is indeed a queen room, and the first bedroom off the kitchen is a double bed :) they are pretty similar in size. We are so glad you all had a wonderful time in and found the home and its location clean and enjoyable! Please feel free to reach out in the future should you need another Massanutten stay - we do offer return guest discounts. Warmest regards, The M.V. Team

Lovely place, great location

Beautiful views, great location. Worked well for 3 of us but would have been tight quarters for more than 4 or 5, particularly if you don't fit well on a double bed. Only issue at all was the sheets-- they were washed with a very strong-smelling chemical detergent. I had a terrible time sleeping with the smell; eventually I had to cover the pillowcase, bottom sheet and top sheet with towels we brought (bring towels!) to try to sleep. Would not stay there again, just because of the smell of the sheets. Would have liked to have one more blanket too - it was quite cold. Other than the chemical smell of the sheets, it was GREAT!

Bring a sleeping bag if more than 8

The home is located within great proximity to skiing and snow tubing at the resort. The views from the deck are very peaceful. The kitchen is well stocked.However, the listing states it sleeps 10. When we booked our reservation, the listing showed that there was supposed to be 8 beds available. It listed a queen, a double, a day bed with a trundle, a twin bunk bed AND two twin beds in the bunk room. After checking in, we realized that there were only 6 beds. I reached out to the property management company about the incorrect listing. I was told that I must be confused and that there was only a bunk bed in the bunkroom. I explained that I had screenshots of the listing to prove what we actually booked. They immediately changed the VRBO listing to reflect the actual number of beds. I requested a partial refund since we did not get what we contracted for. The management company stopped replying to all of my emails and phone calls and said the owner would not offer a credit. Be prepared if you have more than 8 people (of which 4 should only be children) that you should bring sleeping bags or an air mattress as they state that the house sleeps 10.There were also some maintenance issues. The upstairs toilet did not work during our stay. The travel crib for infants/toddlers was broken. The board games are all missing pieces and need to just be thrown away.Also be prepared to load up all of your trash and drive around the resort to find a dumpster in a parking lot as your cl

HI Sergio! We do apologize for the confusion in the occupancy level; the home can legally have an occupancy of 10 people, and there is no mention of having a pool, though that would be a great feature! Although you mention not returning, it does look like you stayed again at this exact property for the next week in August. We hope you had an enjoyable stay for both! Regards, The M.V. Team

Untidy and poor communication with property manager

My group entered the house and could not determine if the cleaning crew had done their job. The beds were half-made and unkept, so we could not tell if the linens had been changed. The hand towel in the bathroom was soaking wet, again having us doubt it had been cleaned. We found balloons floating around on the floor, so there had obviously been some form of party, but nobody had bothered to clean up, or if they did, the did a very poor job. We notified the property manager immediately upon check-in (per the check-in instructions) on a Saturday, yet did not hear back from them until Tuesday, a full day after we had checked out. The property is nicely located, yet our experience with the cleanliness and poor communication with the property manager made for a bad experience. There are other properties that we have rented in the neighborhood managed by other groups that are better suited for a family trip and more reliable in terms of cleanliness and responsiveness.

Daniel, You requested to cancel your group reservation at the last minute, against the accepted policy and notice period. You then issued a veiled threat to leave a bad review if you were not fully refunded, saying you were going to "give us an opportunity" and that "you know how important VRBO reviews are". In fact, you never even visited the property and members of your group who did visit left a generous tip for our cleaning staff. We have photos and security footage showing that you never visited and photos of the good condition of the property. The property owner consistently invests in upgrades and improvements, and our abundance of 4+ star reviews reveal your review for the untruth that it is. Regards, The M.V. Team

Part Time Management?

We had a very strange experience with this property management company. They let our Vrbo reservation lapse, so we had to book twice. Check-in is very odd: keys for all leased properties are in envelopes with folks' names in a common lock box (that has a shared code) at their office, a few miles from the property. Not sure why keys couldn't be in individual lock boxes at the actual units. Nobody was in the office during check-in or checkout. I never spoke to anyone from Massanutten Vacation during our stay. Combined with some cleanliness/quality control issues, it felt like the management company was only staffed part time. Overall, the unit is nice. The view is fantastic, as advertised, and the house is spacious. It's not in bad shape, but we ended up sharing with the management a list of minor things that added up to us just never feeling quite comfortable. - can't lock deadbolt from inside - kitchen counter, cookware, dishes all dirty - sink smells - no dish soap, sponge filthy - fridge makes an incessant clicking sound, all day, all night - carpet stained and dirty - first light in master doesn't work - tub in master doesn't drain unless manually held open; fills instantly while you're showering - mildew on shower curtains Property manager Laresa responded after our trip and was very apologetic. She says the cleanliness and maintenance issues will be addressed.

Hi, Eric! Laresa did indeed make sure maintenance and housekeeping visited the home after your departure. The homeowner also came in and fixed the tub, replaced shower liners, deep cleaned the carpets, etc. We do apologize for the issues with cleaning and sincerely appreciate you letting us know! Hopefully we can move to check in at the home, but unfortunately, we cannot offer it at this time. Also, we only put the Last Name for check in for security reasons, and the envelope is sealed. In the fifteen years we have done check in this way, it has never been an issue! And while our staff is in the office daily, they cannot be in at all times as this job requires a decent amount of outside work. Thank you again! Happy Holidays. The M.V. Team
