Perfect Ski Trip!
Dan was amazing - we had about 11 inches of snow/ice the week of our trip and Dan came to the rescue himself to ensure the driveway was cleared and ready for us. The garage turned game room was the best addition to our trip, we spent nearly the entire trip in there! The house was well stocked and incredibly clean. Truly had everything we needed and I would absolutely go back!
We loved staying here! The house offers so many fun things to do. Our group really enjoyed the hot tub and the game room and the movie theater room is AWESOME. Highly recommend

Hi Erin, this homeowner has asked us to pass along the following response: "Erin, thank you for the great review! We tried to think of everything when it came to stocking our home - we're glad it worked! Please come back again."
This is an outstanding property for hosting a large group. It appeals to adults and children. The kitchen is especially well stocked with quality cookware which isn't all that common in rentals. Would book this again.

Hi David, this homeowner has asked us to pass along the following response: "David, thank you for leaving a 5-star review! We're glad that you liked the home and all it had to offer! We hope to see you back to try our new 17-seat theater room and hot tub!"
Came here for my daughter's JMU graduation. We had a few families staying. Place was so much fun because there are so many spaces for people to separate/gather.. the game room, the theater, main room, front porch, back porch.... Loved it and wish I'd found this house long before graduation! Will definitely look here first next time I'm near Massanutten.

Dari, It's encouraging to see that your family had a great time and our home was just what your group needed. We strive hard to make our home a true retreat! Thank you for leaving a comment.
The house was roomy for a large group. We all had a great vacation from grandma and grandpa down to the youngest grandchildren and everyone in between.

From the owner: Beverly, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm glad that your group had a great vacation at our home. I work hard at making it a place that every age can enjoy to the fullest. I'd be interested in knowing why it only received four stars as opposed to 5, so I could do whatever is necessary to get those five stars every time. Thank you again for staying at The Retreat @ Massanutten."

Beautiful place!
Absolutely enjoyed our weekend here, the house had everything we needed for a group of 16, and my family had so much fun! Hot tub is big and perfect for a chill evening, and we all enjoyed the game room too. Definitely would recommend!!

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Nov 2023
From the owner: "Rosa I love hosting your group. I rarely have a chance to relax while I’m there because I never stop upgrading it but when I do, the theater room and late-night hot tub are my “go-to”! Please come back soon!"
Awesome place with a ton of extras - my friends and I did our fantasy football draft weekend here and we couldn’t be more happy with how it went! Movie theater and game room were top notch and we loved that there were golf courses close! Would stay again!
The Retreat was the perfect place for our large group (4 families with elementary school kids). Plenty of space, a lot to do with the hot tub, heated game room in the garage and movie theater, and really close to the slopes. Dan was a great host as well!

This house was perfect for our large family reunion. We had four families stay here comfortably, and the layout was perfectly suited for our group. The theater room is incredible, and definitely was the highlight. Great communication with owner and rental company. Definitely plan to stay here again in the future!!

Keri, It was our pleasure to host your group. I agree with you about the theater room. It's the only REAL theater room in the area and feels like you're in an actual movie theater! I built the home to be the type of place I would want to stay at myself. I'm glad that I am able to share it with others! Please come back again!
Great Family vacation. Property had something for everyone. ..games, theater, and outdoor activities. Sking and snow tubing nearby. Will stay again!
