About this property
Heart of Massanutten Mountainside Retreat, Summer Fun for the Whole Family
Welcome to your perfect year-round escape in the heart of Massanutten Resort! Nestled among the trees in our privately owned spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home blends comfort, fun, and unbeatable access to the best of the resort, just steps from the slopes and tubing hill on Massanutten’s only ski-out street.
Upstairs, you’ll find two comfy bedrooms, a full bath, and a convenient washer and dryer. Downstairs features an open-concept living and dining area, a fully stocked kitchen, and the primary suite with a full bath. Both the dining room and the primary bedroom open onto a back deck with a beautiful view, perfect for grilling, outdoor dining, watching the deer or simply relaxing in the mountain air.
When it’s time for fun, we have plenty to do in our house! Challenge friends to the stand-up arcade game, play a round of ping-pong with the portable set or a round of games with the board games we provide.
Beyond the door, adventure awaits you in every season. In winter, ski and tube just steps away. In warmer months, enjoy hiking, golf, zip-lining, mountain biking, horseback riding, go-karts, mini-golf, and the resort’s incredible indoor water park. The scenic Shenandoah River is just 5 miles away and is ideal for kayaking, tubing, or fishing.
Whether you’re seeking a cozy winter getaway, watching the leaves change in fall, enjoying spring blossoms or a summer mountain adventure, our Massanutten get away has everything you need for a memorable stay.

Property was clean, well stocked, and great fun for the kids. The Unit had everything we needed including a fully stocked coffee bar, extra soap, shampoo, detergent, kitchen sponge, and towels. Thank you for the owners for providing all these extra items. My kids loved playing the arcade games, eating outside, and enjoying the pool and other resort amenities. We were all sad to leave!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're so glad our home had everything you needed and that the kids loved the arcade games, pool, and eating outside. That's exactly the kind of stay we hope for. We put a lot of thought into keeping the place well stocked, so it's great to hear it made a difference. We'd love to have you and your family back anytime!
I highly recommend this Massanutten vacation rental (10/10)! Our hosts, Mary and Chris, communicated beautifully and made the check-in process incredibly smooth, quick, and easy. The property's decor and aesthetics are gorgeous, and we thoroughly enjoyed hanging out by the outdoor fire pit. You can even see the new rollercoaster at the Massanutten Family Adventure Park right from the back balcony! Just a quick tip for future guests: the property is high up on the mountain, so be prepared for your ears to pop on the drive to and from the property, but the incredible views and location are entirely worth it.

Be ready for stairs. Master, living room and kitchen are on lower level. Rooms, bedding and bathrooms were clean. Furniture and amenities didn’t match the listing. We also experienced some electrical issues and mold or something in the bathroom ceiling. Over all we enjoyed our stay and the resort.

Thank you for staying with us and for sharing your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and the resort, and that you found the rooms, bedding, and bathrooms clean.
We take concerns like this seriously, so we had the property inspected and found no mold in the bathroom ceiling after your note after check out, and we brought in an electrician to check the electrical concerns raised. We also regularly refresh furniture and amenities, which can mean some pieces differ from older listing photos. We have to work to keep everything fresh to keep our house in great shape for guests.
This was a great place to stay right off the slopes! Everything was clean and comfortable. Chech-in/out was very easy and the host was nice.We had our dog along on this trip too and it was nice to walk inside and see a basket with bowls, poop bags, and a few toys! Definitely made us feel welcome, we would stay again!

Thanks for staying with us and so glad you enjoyed the home and location. So happy your dog could join you as well!
We’ve stayed here twice, we love it! Mary is such a great host, she replies quickly to any questions you may have. You can see the slopes and the tubing area on the balcony. How cool is that…we will probably stay again next year.

Great views. Had everything that was needed to make you feel at home.
Thanks for staying with us and we were so happy that you enjoyed your stay and the views. It's our favorite part of the home and so glad that you loved it too!
Property owner was very responsive. Really enjoyed our stay. Home shows its age a little but was very clean and had everything we needed. Would stay again!
The location was great, the place was very comfortable and clean. Perfect place for a family.

Hi! We’re Mary and Chris, parents of two college-aged kids and big believers in travel as a way to recharge.

Why they chose this property
There's always plenty of activities to entertain you in Massanutten Resort but there's also a tranquility that allows you to relax and unwind if that's what you are looking for.
What makes this property unique
Our house is in the heart of Massanutten Resort, right next to the tubing hill and right above the ski lodge. In the winter, you can walk to the end of our street and ski out onto Easy Street slope. The layout allows room for families and friends to really connect and spend time together while still having plenty of personal space.
