About this property

The Gingerbread House: 4BR cottage w/ modern amenities, sunroom/deck, sleeps 12

The Gingerbread House is a cute cottage located in a tranquil area of Massanutten Resort, a four season resort with amenities for everyone. This home-away-from-home is situated close to the playground, indoor/outdoor water park, two golf course, mini-golf, family adventure park with zip lines, on-site restaurants, skiing, snowboarding, tubing and exciting escape room! With Harrisonburg and Shenandoah National Park only 15 minutes away, you have many additional dining and entertainment opportunities to enjoy, such as natural caverns, historic sites, hiking, wineries and breweries.

Inside our home, you will find four bedrooms and two and a half baths. The main floor has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an open concept dining room, living room, kitchen, and sunroom. The master suite has a king bed, sitting area, TV, walk in closet and private bath. Bedroom 2 has 2 twin beds. Bedroom 3 has a queen bed. The kitchen has service for 12+ and is fully equipped including a toaster, coffee machine, crock pot, pots and pans, cookie trays and all the utensils that you will need. The island/breakfast bar seats four. The living room has a TV and Blu-ray player. The sunroom is perfect for early risers to drink coffee or tea, read a book and relax. It also has a TV and Blu-ray player. The upstairs has a loft with futon, bedroom with 2 twin beds, half bath and is the perfect sanctuary for children, tweens and teens. The bedroom has two twin beds and chalkboard. The loft has a futon. There is also a TV, PS4 with games and DVDs.

There is a outdoor deck in the front and back with a built in sitting area, Adirondack chairs and a grill. All 3 downstairs bedrooms have sliding glass door with access to the rear deck that looks over wooded common area. Sitting on the rear deck feels like when you were a kid in a tree house.. You will be two minutes away from all the activities. As much as we love pets, we understand that there are people that are allergic to dog and cat dander so I'm sorry but no are pets allowed.

Please note that although the house sleeps upto 12, only 8 adults can sleep comfortably (1 king, 1 queen, 4 twin beds). Other beds are best suited for children (2 sofabeds and 1 futon). The house is in a residential neighborhood and we do not allow loud parties and events. We expect our guest to keep the noise level low after 11PM. We welcome family reunions as long as the guests are respectable to the house and the neighbors.

Note: A pool pass will be provided to guests with unlimited entry at $6/person daily during their stay (and in season). This is a private home, renting does not grant access to Massanutten Resort non-public amenities. Public amenities include, but are not limited to golf, ski/snowboarding, tubing, ice skating, go-karts, zip line, mini golf, water park, etc.

Please note that bugs, mice and other critters are permanent residents of this mountain community. We do our best to keep them outdoor but is not unusual to have an unwanted guest from time to time.
