Wonderful weekend at Massanuten!

We stayed at this beautiful home over Memorial Day weekend and couldn’t have been more pleased. The house is spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully designed—each room has its own unique charm and is incredibly comfortable.The home was stocked with everything we could possibly need for a relaxing weekend getaway—and even more. From the well-equipped kitchen to the cozy living spaces and inviting bedrooms, every detail made us feel right at home. We genuinely wished we could have stayed longer!What made our stay even more special was the incredible hospitality from our host, Kim. She went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, even surprising us with extra food during our visit—a gesture that truly meant a lot.We’re already looking forward to coming back for a second visit. Highly recommend this gem of a home to anyone looking for comfort, space, and a warm, welcoming experience.

Fantastic property

This is our 2nd time staying here. We were a large extended family staying here for an After Christmas Annual Gathering. Payton’s Peak was perfect for our 22 guest and one toddler group. So many fun things to do for all age groups. Plenty of space to cook and play together. The caretaker Josh was very helpful. Would definitely stay again!

Perfect home for a large group

Such a great home and property! We loved our time at Payton’s Peak and hope to come back again. The house has so much space - even enough seating for everyone at meal times. The property is private feels like a retreat. The charcuterie boards are such a great touch and came at the perfect time after a long day at the waterpark. We can’t wait to come back!

Best family vacation house to date

This house is beautiful and was perfect for our huge family of 29 ranging from 4 months to 70 years old. It had everything we could need. The maintenance man was so kind and installed the baby gates for us (which were already there). I would love to come stay here again!

This beautiful and unusual house accommodated the 25 of us with room to spare. The kids had myriad game rooms, toys and entertainment options. We had plenty of space to be all together or find a quiet space. The kitchen is well-equipped to prepare meals for and seat everyone together. Highly recommended for a shirt or long stay

Great Stay in a Huge Mansion!

We were a group of about 35 adults that stayed in Payton Peak for a long weekend. There was plenty of space to sleep, to eat, and to socialize. The property is really huge, with something for everyone - a grill, a hike, firepit, boardgames! For such a huge property, it’s pretty clean and well-maintained. No neighbors, so feels like a private retreat. The maintenance guy was super friendly and helpful. Everyone in our group really enjoyed the stay, and is looking to come back one day!

Huge house lots of options

We had a great stay at Payton’s Peak. The house provides so much room for large families. It was nice to have an adult space to relax while the kids could play as loud as they want. The home is in between the two largest attractions at Massanutten which makes for a short drive to each. Kim was super nice and even allowed us to hike up her property to the peak with amazing views. Highly recommend

This home is incredible. There was plenty of space for our large family. Kim is a great host and replies immediately to any communication. Josh (maintenance man) stopped our first night to introduce himself and let us know how to get in touch with him if we had any issues. They go above and beyond to make sure your stay is best. We definitely will be going back.

You Will Love This Place!

This is one of the most interesting homes and pieces of property you will find. It was our third year in a row and the property only continues to improve. This year, we decided to explore the grounds and took a hike to the top of the property. It has it's own overlook where you can see the ski slopes and the mountains. There is always something new on the property which this year included ping pong, video games and some very unique bar furniture! Kim, the owner, is always responsive and Joel, the caretaker, aims to please. We cannot wait for next year as we will certainly be back!

Perfect Space for Many Families to enjoy!!

This place was AMAZING!!! We had 8 families and 13 kids from age 4 to 17. Each family had their own room... with their own bathroom... and then all the kids had a place. That allowed all of us to have a space to relax if we wanted any down time. There were tons of games and things to do. We were lucky to have snow 1 day that the kids got to enjoy outside and then we had a great fire pit outside. They provided all the wood, which was perfect!! Will definitely look to stay here again for large gatherings. The host was amazing and the person that takes care of the property got trash every day and was the nicest man!! HIGHLY recommend!!

Gorgeous Property

This house just goes on and on and on. We loved the home. It’s so big it’s easy to get lost. The driveway is very steep and our church bus was unable to get up the hill. But we made it work. We never found the hot in pictured in the VRBO posting. All in all, this is an exquisite home and we had a blast!

Jmu graduation weekend

The house was perfect for our son’s graduation. We had 34 family members come from all over the east coast. Family did snow sports at massanutten Friday night and Saturday afternoon and those that we could not get tickets for to actually attend, the graduation, were able to watch it on the live stream at the house. It worked perfectly. It was. Wonderful weekend and the kitchen / eating area could accommodate us all. Would highly recommend for large family gatherings and only a 25 minute drive to jmu.

Fantastic family reunion

We had a wonderful family reunion at Payton's Peak! The house was large enough to hold the entire family for the weekend. Within the house there's so much to do. We gathered a lot in the kitchen area which is quite large and has everything you could possibly need to prepare meals. Both kids and adults liked the different games upstairs and down. We gathered around the fire pit, made smores, and had great visits with one another. Josh took care of our every need and a gift of goodies from Kim just sealed the deal. We plan to come back as the whole family loved the place and enjoyed the weekend.
