KINSTAY MASSANUTTEN: THE SPACE

DESIGNED BY TRAVELERS, FOR FAMILIES
We travel often with our own young kids, so we built our "dream stay" with all the details usually missing from rentals. From a fully-stocked kitchen to separate levels for kids and adults, we’ve handled the "little things" so you can just show up and relax!

THE LAYOUT AND VIEWS
Perched on the mountainside and backing up to the George Washington National Forest, you’ll wake up to sunrises over the peaks.

UPPER LEVEL: Open living area with a cozy fireplace and our signature "hyggekrog" (reading nook). Includes the Master King Suite, a Queen bedroom, and a Twin room.

LOWER LEVEL: The "Fun Zone"! A second living room with a game area featuring a 9-foot shuffleboard and two arcade machines. Includes a Queen bedroom and a playroom with a Double sofa bed.

KID-FRIENDLY AND STRESS-FREE
Stop over-packing! We provide the essentials so you don’t have to:
High chair and Pack n Play
Step stools and kid dishes/cups
Playroom stocked with toys, books, and games
Full-size washer/dryer for your convenience

CHEF’S KITCHEN AND COFFEE
Cook for the whole crew with ease!
Large dining table seats 10.
STARTER KIT: We do our best to stock cookware, oils, and a variety of spices.
COFFEE BAR: Cuisinart drip, K-Cup machine, French Press, and an electric grinder for your own beans.

WORK AND PLAY
FAST WIFI: Ultra-fast Eero Mesh (171+ Mbps)—perfect for remote work on the deck!
STREAMING: 65-inch 4K Smart TVs in both living areas with streaming services included.
OUTDOORS: Two spacious decks with Adirondack chairs to soak in the mountain air.

PARKING AND EV CHARGING
LEVEL 2 EV CHARGER INCLUDED!
The home is on a hill with a steep, narrow driveway—it’s the secret to our incredible views! You can drive right to the front door for easy unloading. (4WD/AWD highly recommended in winter).

RESORT AMENITIES
WATERPARK: The Massanutten Waterpark is undergoing a massive renovation in 2026 to add new slides and family fun!
ADVENTURE CENTER: Just a 3-minute drive for skiing, tubing, and mini-golf.
POOLS: There are several indoor and outdoor pools in the resort area available for your use.

-Early check-ins and late check-outs may be available and do incur a small fee.

About the host

Hosted by Matt

Host profile image
Our family loves escape the city and enjoy vacations where we can reconnect with nature and each other! We live in a suburb of Washington DC which can get a little hectic at times - finding time to get away is crucial!

My wife and I have been married for almost 15 years and we have two small kiddos. We love to travel and explore!

Why they chose this property

With little kids, it seems like most vacations are with the extended family. Several years ago we took a family vacation, just the four of us, to Massanutten to enjoy time together. We had a fantastic time hiking, visiting the water park, eating together, and just relaxing and enjoying the family.

We decided that having our own place in Massanutten would allow us to enjoy these times more often. We wanted a place that would be large enough to host grandparents and friends but also sized such that we would still spend time together. This house is perfect for us and we hope it's perfect for you as well!

What makes this property unique

Located at the top of Massanutten Resort, the house is close to all the amenities on offer! Skiing, snow and summer tubing, rock climbing, zip lining, swimming pools, mini golf, bumper cars, and other attractions are a short 4-5 minute drive. Venturing a little farther out gets you to the towns of McGaheysville, Harrisonburg, and Elkton for shopping, dining, and antiquing. A little farther out are the world famous Luray Caverns and SkyLine Drive in Shenendoah National Park. Of course you can also just relax in the cabin and enjoy the serenity!
