Cozy, Beautiful Cabin Stay - Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin! It was clean, cozy, and very well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. The decor and surroundings made it feel like a true retreat, and the amenities added to the relaxing experience.Our group really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and thoughtful touches throughout the cabin. The only downside was that early check-in or late checkout wasn’t available, which would have made the stay even more convenient.That said, everything else was excellent, and we would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a quiet and scenic place to unwind. We’d be happy to return!

Super stay!

We loved the house and all of its amenities! It’s spacious but cozy. The hot tub worked perfectly and was a nice end of the day activity to relax. The kitchen is adorable and well-outfitted. The only suggestion might have been if the porches had been wiped down for easier use-but totally understandable during pollen season. Will definitely choose to stay here again.

12/10!!!!

This place was amazing!! We came here to celebrate my best friend’s 30th birthday and it was the perfect spot for a relaxing weekend away. Everything was so cozy and there were plenty of places for everyone to hangout together. The hot tub and the fire pit were the perfect touch!We never got the chance to use the game room, but I wish we had!There are a ton of wineries within 25ish minutes from the property, so we did our own wine trail and it was so much fun. There’s also a Cat Cafe (Aristocat Cafe) that we stopped at so we could have coffee and hang out with some kitties. It was the perfect location for her celebration and we would love to stay here again in the future!!

Spectacular home - I would definitely rent it again!

This home was amazing! It's located in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood so you can easily relax. The kitchen has everything you'll need. And the dining room table is big enough for 10 people. The family room is spacious and has plenty of comfortable seating for the entire group. The hot tub was a very welcome treat at the end of each evening. We didn't use the fire table this weekend, but maybe next time. All of the bedrooms had at least queen sized beds, which is a benefit when travelling with 6 full grown adults. The management team (VPMS) is professional, quickly responsive to any questions and a pleasure to deal with.

Overall, great house, but steep road

Prior to arrival, I emphasized not wanting to drive a steep road to the house and the company said it wasn't steep. When you arrive to an arrow and squiggly line, most understand that is a steep road with big curves. I wasn't thrilled about that since it was only me and my child. However, I'm a huge scaredy cat about roads like that and many people would likely not take issue with it. The only other complaint would be the ac worked but the house never felt refreshingly cool, not even in the basement and the mattress pad had me waking up at 3:30am sweating. The good: felt very cozy, totally awesome, huge, screened porch, fun games with bonus arcade which was a nice surprise, mostly clean aside from a few dust cobweb issues, great master bath, nice, comfy, fabric couch in den, beautiful kitchen (though don't prefer bottom freezer). Overall, son and I enjoyed it very much and felt safe aside from steep road and the lock not working between the garage door and basement den. At one point company said, based on my questions that I'd probably be better at a hotel. I'd never gotten that response from a vacation rental place and we've rented many beach and mountain homes. I almost didn't rent because of that, but pickings were slim. I'd advise them not to respond to potential guests that way in the future. However, most other interactions were pleasant. I would only return if my husband drove and they no longer used the sweaty type mattress pads, but I'd certainly rec. to others.

Great house

This was our 6th year at Massanutten. Kips was one of our favorite houses so far. It was clean, well stocked, comfortable, spacious and the location was excellent. We were skeptical of staying near the bottom but it turned out to be favorable compared to staying closer to the lodge.

"Off the Beaten Path" getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at Kips. Everything was very clean and ready for our arrival. The house itself is large enough to entertain groups of 10-20 with ease. The beds were good and the kitchen was well appointed with everything you need to cook/prepare. On the downside of things, we had noticed on a previous review (month prior) that a guest had mentioned the water pressure/shower head issues in the master bedroom. Although this was acknowledged in the response from property management you could clearly see that the issue was not addressed. Literally almost impossible to take a shower in the MASTER bath. This HAS to be addressed before more guests arrive and probably install a low pressure shower head. But, we didn't let that ruin our time there and just enjoyed the house for what it was and our time with friends and family.

Property was appointed beautifully, and the location for a summer stay was perfect. There was plenty of space for our family. A few quick notes as a previous owner and manger of several vacation properties… shower heads in both baths could be replaced and please provide additional trash cans for downstairs and the screen porch. We will definitely be back.
