Great house for large group

The great room and kitchen of the house were roomy, with plenty of comfortable furniture in the living area for a large group. We spent time on both the front and back porches, which was very relaxing. Even got to use the fire pit in July on a cool evening. Nice view of trees as well as the ski slopes out the many windows. Would stay there again!

Amazing time!

Not only was this house in a beautiful location but it provided my family with everything we needed! We wanted a life space with enough indoor and outdoor space for catching up and having fun- and this place was perfect! Having a washer and dryer was great, and the kitchen was perfect for meals. Massanutten is gorgeous and so much in the area to do!
