About this property

Blue Pine Lodge - w/ Hot Tub - What a Mountain Cabin Should Be!

Blue Pine Lodge - what a cabin in the mountains should be! All new furniture, linens, kitchenware, etc... Natural wood trim throughout makes you feel like you are truly on vacation in the woods (but with granite countertops of course) .

Master bedroom with en-suite bathroom. Bedroom #2 - Queen, Bedroom #3 - Queen, Bedroom #4 - Bunk Room w/ 2 bunk beds - both are twin over full size mattresses. The HD TVs have Roku boxes with DirectvStream for regular channels.

This home was originally built in 2012 as a 2nd home for a couple. We purchased it in 2019 and hired the original builder to come and remodel it to be an even better vacation home rental.

We have a variety of games and toys for kids of all ages, such as Giant Connect 4, Uno, Phase 10, imaginext play sets, and assortment of books.

We have a dedicated Retro Atari spot, which we call the arcade nook, which has a 42" HD TV with Retro Atari game system.

The bedrooms come with clean sheets already tucked in for you, and a towel and face cloth for each guest to use. We even have toothbrush holders by the sink. The bathtub and shower have shampoo, conditioner and body wash so you don't need to bring your own. You might want to bring your own pool towel if you plan on visiting the Massanutten Water Park, as they don't supply towels. There is also a classic bidet from TUSHY in the upstairs bathroom!

TVs in the Living Room, Master Bedroom have DirecTV Stream. The TVs in the Bunk Room and 2 Queen bedroom TVs do not have DirecTV Stream but do have other TV apps.

The dining room now has 2 dining tables that each seat 6 people or pull out the foldout leaf and each table seats 8.

The bunk room TV also has an Xbox 360 game system if the Atari isn't your thing.

Outside on the patio is a gas bbq grill, picnic table, lounge chairs, and a huge Connect 4 standing game. In the yard is the new hot tub, a fire pit and rack of wood for roasting marshmallows after a day of hiking.

Most of the time you can arrive at the house before the 4pm posted time, unless it's busy, like summertime. Ask us if you'd like to arrive early, so we can check housekeeper schedule.

* Sorry, we can not allow animals at this home, no matter how small or well trained because our kids have crazy allergies.

Massanutten is truly a 4 season resort. Massanutten Resort has many great activities available to book online through their website. Massanutten offers skiing, snow and grass tubing, 2 golf courses, an award winning indoor/outdoor water park, mountain biking, ziplining, putt-putt, go-carts, There are also about 30 miles of hiking trails. Most Resort activities are available to our guests for an additional fee and should be booked online before your arrival, through Massanutten Resort's website. Book early as things sell out quickly during Covid.

Cozy ski house close to slopes!

We absolutely loved this house! We have 6 kids and brought my parents as well and although this isn’t a mansion it is very well designed to throw a bunch of kids in the room with 4 bunk beds. The main living space was large, spacious, and very cozy especially when you got the fire place going. Love the master bath, huge kitchen table space for dining and games, and the hot tub was a big hit especially with the easy access from master bathroom. The master bedroom is very nice and loved it but good to know that the walls do not go up to ceiling so privacy from main are from sounds is not present. Wasn’t a huge deal for us- but if a group wants to stay up late enjoying a loud movie- master bedroom by default will also be enjoying the movie:). The owner was the nicest guy and answered all 1000 of my questions before during and after trip- absolutely the most helpful host and I felt like I was staying at a friends house who was determined to make our trip enjoyable. Love this place and will definitely come back!

First Family Ski Trip

The Blue Pine Lodge made this amazing weekend possible. You can't beat the location; only 3 minutes from the slopes. Check in could not have been easier and the owners graciously allowed us to check in early with no additional expense. Their communication with us in the days leading up to the rental was frequent, timely, and detailed. When we arrived, the house was spotless...even the fridge. You don't often see rental properties that are better in person than in pictures. It was fully stocked with the basics: quality paper towels and toilet paper (not thin govt grade), trash bags in cans, condiments, bath towels, etc. It was literally "move in ready". The comfortable aroma of pine throughout the house gave it the fragrance of a mountain lodge which set the mood of relaxation from our first step through the door. It was wonderfully decorated and we immediately felt right at home. The amenities were perfect for our family of five (including three teenage boys). We all loved the Atari. The large tables were perfect for evening card games. We would have loved to use the real wood burning fireplace or the fire pit, but we were too exhausted at the end of each day to do little more than plop on the very comfortable furniture. The house was very functional as well. The laundry/mud room is just in from the main entrance and had plenty of hooks for all the wet, damp gear. It also was a "thawing" rack for skis and boards so we didn't have to leave them in the truck overnight. Checkout was also very easy with detailed instructions guiding us every step of the way. We had an amazing weekend at the resort and in the house. Our boys can't wait to do this again next winter.

Perfect mountain getaway!

Our stay at Blue Pine Lodge was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean and well-maintained the property was. The cabin itself is cozy, beautifully designed, and has all the amenities needed for a relaxing getaway.The hot tub was a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring, and the peaceful mountain setting made for a truly serene experience. The hosts were attentive and made sure everything was just right for our stay.If you’re looking for a charming, comfortable, and spotless retreat in the mountains, this is the place to be! We can’t wait to return.

Perfectly adorable

We ski with another family every year. This cottage has a great eating space and it’s well stocked. We’ve got six kids and four adults and it was plenty of room for us.Awesome deck and hot tub and when it snowed the owners had the driveway cleared for us. A teen left a purse and they were kind enough to make sure it was returned. Great stay!

Exactly as described, would stay again

This was an VRBO as described. My only complaint is that we have to take the trash out to the dumpster before we leave - it adds more time and really negates the point of having a service fee. To be fair this is described in the policy and we adhered to it, but you don't really see how annoying it is until you have to follow it. Other than that, generally a great visit! Would visit again.

Amazing Stay!

My family had the pleasure to stay at Blue Pine Lodge while vising the area and I can't recommend it highly enough! The home was very clean and beautifully decorated with nice touches. Nice layout and big open kitchen. They provided recommendations for areas to eat & visit in the area were very helpful. The instructions on how to utilize things around the home was very easy to follow. Super close to a couple hikes nearby and we loved coming back to such a serene and peaceful space each day. The hot tub and master shower are AMAZING!!! If you're looking for a place where you'll be well cared for & cozy, this is the place to stay!

About the host

Hosted by Marshall

Host profile image
Moved to Virginia in 2017 and have fallen in love with the whole state, from the ocean to the mountains. In 2018, we purchased our first vacation home in Massanutten - The Pool House (vrbo # 1410173). We updated the home and made it as 'walk in ready' as possible for us as a 2nd home, and for guests too! We enjoy Massanutten so much and being hosts that we now have 4 vacation rental homes in Massanutten Resort area, and a beach house on the Chesapeake. I'm now managing these full time as Highlight Homes. HighlightHomesVA 'com

Why they chose this property

We loved the uniqueness of this home and all the woodwork. It was originally built in 2012 by a couple living in Virginia Beach that only occasionally came to visit. Since this home was not previously a rental, that means the original owners took all the beds/silverware, etc... with them. SO, we have furnished it with all new furniture, mattresses, linens, coffee maker, glasses/plates, etc....

What makes this property unique
