We stayed for a long weekend here and our 2nd time in Massanutten Resort. The home was large enough for 13 people including small kids and older teens. Home is a little dated but it had all basic necessities we needed. Love the proximity to the ski resort and very responsive and accommodating host! Thank you!

I didn’t personally spend a lot of time in the cabin but my family did and only had one complaint. Many lights were inoperable either due to burnt out lightbulbs or faulty fixtures. Also, while trying to determine operability, the outlet under the big window in the living room sparked when the lamp was plugged in. Lastly, I thought I read somewhere that the garage was available for use but the overhead door was inoperable. These minor things accumulated to a one star penalty but the property overall was well worth the money, had beautiful views, and had plenty of the listed amenities. The hot tub looked so nice and relaxing but we unfortunately didn’t have the time to use it. Would definitely rent again!

The cabin is not well maintained or clean. The window cells were full of dust, stain on the carpet, dirty couches, washing machine was old, the shower upstairs was not working, upstairs bed was not comfortable and there was hair on the sheets. We found confetti and a plastic cup from a party. The TV was too small. Also when we walked in, the cabin smelled like greasy food. The dishes were greasy. We had to wash the sheets and towels as well as the dishes in order to use it. The outdoor jacuzzi had dead bugs in it and tons of dust, very unclean. The furniture was very old and needs to be replaced. The rocking chair foot stool was broken. There were stains on the blankets and spiders in the house. For the amount of money that it costs, the cabin was in very poor condition.

Generous vacation home in Massanutten

This was a lovely base for a summer family vacation in the Shenandoah area. The generous kitchen was well-supplied and the beds were comfortable. We especially appreciated the larger dining table with seating for eight! The three-level home has single-zone heating and cooling, which means the upstairs rooms are warmer than the basement room. The gravel driveway to the large 2-car garage is a little steep unless you have 4-wheel-drive, but off-street parking is also available adjacent to the street. We enjoyed playing the board games! Highly recommended!

Worst VRBO stay

We were in town for a college Family Weekend and very excited to stay here. Unfortunately the house was dirty, the fridge did not work-it was hot and smelled awful. We called the emergency number, no one ever called us back however we did get responses to our VRBO messages but with empty promises of maintenance and housekeeping which never materialized. Would not recommend this house or host for any reason!

Nice but a few issues

We had a few minor issues. Couldn’t use hot tub when it cooled off in the evening because no outside lights were working and Fireplace didn’t work. Because there were no outside lights we could not enjoy the screened in back porch in the evening. Grill had not been cleaned and was gross so we couldn’t use . Oven looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years. No kitchen towel and kitchen faucet was unscrewed so it gave me a shower the first time we used it. ( that was an easy fix) Found trash and toys under chair And there was no fooseball table .

Some definite pros, lots of cons too

I’ll start with positives. Location is amazing and it’s a big space to spread out if you have several guests and the beds were pretty comfortable (bring your own pillows however…and towels and some extra blankets). Kids loved the foos ball table downstairs. The property manager was also prompt in responding. Now for the negatives. This property needs several updates. Showers barely work, plumbing in general just isn’t great, furniture is outdated and not all that comfortable. There’s a bed downstairs in the basement that we couldn’t even use because it was freezing downstairs and the fireplace was also not working. Our biggest disappointment was the hot tub was not working AT ALL. Read all the other reviews about this issue, and yet they still lead with this amenity in their advertising. I’m sure some people don’t care, but we were really looking forward to that feature given how much back pain my husband and I both experience, and right before we were to check in we were given the “heads up” that the hot tub was being serviced but they couldn’t get it to work. So bummed. This was our first time to the resort area and we had a blast given how close we were to everything. Overall this property is a decent value for the money, but little improvements and functionality of what’s advertised would make this a place I’d come back to all the time. In its current state, we will probably pay more and look elsewhere for our next visit.

Peak Retreat Review

Property Manager wasn’t easy to get in touch with, but they always responded eventually. Directions provided in the Lease agreement didn’t exactly match directions provided in the house. The upstairs shower head and curtain fell down multiple times due to no fault of our own. Hot tub was usable but it was filthy upon our arrival. The internet/wifi did not work. The ice maker made ice, but the dispenser did not work. Overall, we would definitely come back to this house, we’re just hoping we don’t get charged for the condition of the items that were already damaged upon our arrival.
