The house was very nice and looked just like the pictures. It was incredibly clean and the host did a great job of making it hospitable. My group loved the upstairs deck and spent a good chunk of our time there in the evenings.

Thank you for staying with us, Nicole! We're so glad you enjoyed our cabin - welcome back anytime!
The kids loved all of the games and the Harry Potter Room! There are tons of activities nearby, though the resort amenities felt very expensive. We had several great adventures to Harrisonburg, Luray, and Skyline Drive though, so there are ample way to get out and about outside of the resort offerings.

Thank you for staying with us, so glad you enjoyed your stay!
Hey there! I am a California Bay Area native transplanted to the Shenandoah Valley (thanks to my husband who grew up here). We love being able to experience all four seasons here in the Valley, and being able to meet and befriend people from all walks of life. We're glad you are staying with us!
Why they chose this property
We live in nearby Harrisonburg and love the quiet woods and fun family vacation offerings at Massanutten. We and our friends often stay at our Airbnb ourselves!
What makes this property unique
Definitely the charming Harry Potter closet...this was Isabella's favorite idea from the get go and we went all out.
