★ For Families: We know what it’s like to travel with children so we have provided a few items in the home to ease your travels including a travel crib (pack-and-play style, in upstairs king bedroom), high chair (in downstairs hall closet), folding step stools (in hall bathrooms), two bathtubs (upstairs hall bath and downstairs ensuite), room-darkening curtains in all rooms, washer and dryer with free & clear laundry pods, and some of our favorite toys and games in upstairs bedroom which offers kids of all ages another space to hang out. The house is child-friendly but not childproof. Guests are responsible for the safety of their children at all times.

★ Community Pool & Amenities: Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, we provide a pool pass (located in the kitchen island drawer) which gives guests access to the Stonewall Terrace Pool for $6/person, cash only! Bring the pool pass and cash with you to the pool to purchase guest passes and return to the drawer when not in use.

★ Massanutten Resort offers tons of activities for everyone, including the Spa, indoor/outdoor WaterPark (a family favorite!), two golf courses, mini golf, indoor virtual golf, wine tasting, art, music and cooking lessons, horseback riding, street curling, pickleball & tennis courts and Escape Rooms. Winter activities include skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing and ice skating. Summer activities include tubing, mountain biking, tennis courts, go karts, bumper cars, zip lines and climbing wall.

★ Smart Keypad Deadbolt: One day prior to check in, guests will receive a unique code to the front door which activates at check in and deactivates at check out. Guests have access to the entire home except for one owner's closet (inside the downstairs ensuite bathroom).

★ Driving Access: All streets to the house are paved and the gravel driveway is short. The home is in the lower hills of Massanutten Mountain with some steep roadways. If snow or ice is in the forecast, consider bringing a vehicle with AWD and/or winter tires. The home is conveniently located a short drive from Massanutten Resort amenities and more!

★ Parking: There is parking available for up to three vehicles: two next to each other in the gravel driveway and one on the gravel shoulder. Though we do have a motion-activated floodlight, the driveway can be difficult to see at night or during/after weather events, so please pull in and out of the driveway carefully and watch out for the utility boxes! The HOA requires that all four tires remain off of the asphalt pavement in the cul de sac. There is a sloped walkway approximately 50 feett long from the parking area to the front porch. Overflow parking is available at Hopkins Park - the first left-turn after entering at the Massanutten gate.

★ Wildlife & Neighborhood: Our home is in the woods and so it is surrounded by a variety of wildlife including a possible bear or two. With this in mind, guests must not leave food outside to prevent pests. Please clean the grill after use and do not leave any food outside which will attract wildlife. While we do have regular pest control, being in the woods means bugs still get inside on occasion. We provide a broom and dustpan, as sweeping up can help deter bugs. Massanutten is a growing resort, with demand for more new rental homes and full-time residences, so there may be some new-home construction in the neighborhood during your stay.

★ Cell Service: There is typically reliable cell service at the home and in the Massanutten resort area. Depending on how you travel to our home, you may lose cell service on your way or during some of your adventures in the surrounding areas. The home is equipped with high-speed wifi.

★ Trash: Due to bear risk, we do not have outdoor trash cans. Our cleaners take the trash after each guest; however, guests staying longer than 2-3 days should drop off excess trash at community dumpsters during their stay.

★ Check-Out Instructions: (1) Bag trash (bags provided). (2) Fill & start dishwasher. (3) Lock up. That's it!

The house was newly renovated and everything was very high quality. The host could not have been any nicer/accommodating. This was a perfect getaway and we can’t wait to come back!

Hi, I'm Lauren! My husband, Allan, and I are your hosts. We are parents to four littles and we live in the northern Shenandoah Valley. Our family loves visiting our Massanutten vacation home and we hope you do too!

Why they chose this property

We loved that the property is new, bright and tucked away on a private cul de sac on the mountain. We enjoy hosting our family and friends here -- with the spacious first floor and two primary suites, everyone is comfortable!
