About this property

The Nutt House - Peace and wilderness at Massanutten Resort

Enjoy all the amenities and excitement of Massanutten Resort in the peace and quiet of this chalet-style house overlooking beautiful woods & wildlife.

Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on a flat lot with plenty of parking. Enjoy looking through the expansive floor-to-ceiling windows into the beautiful surrounding woods and watch the deer and birds in their natural habitat. Two propane fire pit tables, one located on the large deck and one in the back yard surrounded by woods where you can gather with friends and family to make s'mores and swap stories of your day. Fully stocked kitchen and outdoor gas grill so you can eat every meal at home, or order delivery or takeout from many nearby great restaurants and eateries.

Great high-speed internet and wifi so you can stay connected and do work or school from the house!

On the main level of open living/dining floor-plan you'll find 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms (one tub and one shower). Bedroom #1 has a king bed; bedroom #2 has 2 twin XL beds; bedroom #3 has a queen bed. Access the spacious loft by ladder to find a set of twin bunks, plus a comfortable queen-sized couch-bed.

48" TV on main level, 36" TV in loft, both with Firestick streaming. A freestanding gas fireplace in the living room adds extra warmth and coziness in the winter.

House is located within Massanutten Resort with all amenities located within 3 miles, including skiing, snow tubing, indoor/outdoor water park, zip line & ropes course, two 18-hole golf courses, mini golf, downhill mountain biking course, hiking trails, Go-Karts, and more.

** Please note: the privately owned homes at Massanutten are not affiliated with the Resort, but our guests can use a link to book tickets online for resort activities 28 days in advance, as opposed to 10 days for the general public. We strongly encourage booking tickets early, as things do sell out.

Harrisonburg is just 10 miles away, which offers many more restaurants, downtown shopping, and James Madison University.

Please note the house is accessed by two flights of stairs, so it is not appropriate for people with disabilities or trouble climbing stairs.

We had a group of five so the accommodations were more than adequate to meet our needs. The setting was great, fairly private and quiet. The host was wonderful and the amenities offered were above our expectations. We would gladly go back again. Highly recommended.

We had a blast at the nut house

We really enjoyed The Nut House. Since we spent most of our time at the Massanutten Resort, we couldnt have found a better spot. The house was extremely clean, had everything we needed. We absolutely loved the fireplace/heater. My daughter thought she had her own apartment up in the loft. We saw deer!! The beds were very firm, which we didnt love, but this is just preference. We would definitely come back! Thank you, Leah, for sharing your little gem with us! Have a great holiday!

Restful!

Clean, cute, comfortable! And Leah is the best host. We only needed a place to sleep around JMU activities, but I really wish we’d had more time to enjoy the beautiful deck and woods behind the house. Easy to get to, convenient to Harrisonburg - an all around win!

Great weekend stay.

Had a great stay this weekend. The house is great. Kitchen well stocked to make dinners. Beds are very comfy. Living area with huge windows was so nice. Location is great too: feels very secluded yet only 20 mins. from H’burg. Owner communicates very well. Would definitely recommend.

Vacation fun

Just a few little things that needed to be dealt with. Everything was close, very quiet. The children loved it and enjoyed themselves. That was the most important thing that they enjoyed themselves. Overall all was well.
