Great mountain cabin

Our entire experience with the property was great. Check in was easy, there is plenty of room and we had all the essentials for cooking, etc. The home has a great remote feel tucked up against the mountainside but only 5 minutes to the resort. This is a great place to stay.

Beautiful place for a family!

Our family truly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The space was clean and well organized, with plenty of space for all. The kitchen was well stocked, as was a game cabinet with puzzles and a few games that were enjoyed by my kids. The view was spectacular, especially for a morning cup of tea or an evening moment of relaxation. The pool pass was a nice addition, although we didn’t have an opportunity to use it. The owner was very responsive to a small issue when we arrived, and everything was taken care of quickly. Thank you for a great day!

Nice home

House was nice and we enjoyed our time there. Deer greeted us morning and evening and walked right to us, kids loved it. Location was great for our skiing trip. The drive way was super steep and was a problem for a flat lander like me and my minivan. That was the biggest area of concern for us.

Beautiful cabin…we loved it… the driveway was another story. I think a winter stay there would be very questionable unless you own your own snowplow. It is very steep and challenging to navigate even in dry warm weather.

Graduation Weekend

The driveway was as steep as warned, but not unmanagable. The deck and outside furniture were in need of a good cleaning. When I entered the home, the floor was a bit dirty, but after a good sweeping, it was fine. The toaster oven and coffee maker needed cleaning as well. Everything else was great, and the home provided us with a great place to sleep, eat and hang out during our son's JMU graduation weekend. I would definitely stay again, but a good cleaning would have made it a perfect place.

Great views, well stocked, clean house

The house itself was amazing. It was big, well equipped, and had awesome views. The owners were incredibly responsive to questions and were easy to work with. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because of the ridiculously steep driveway. It was hard to get our car up it so we ended up parking at the bottom but then we had to carry everything up it. That was a little bit of a pain, but once you got in the house there was nothing bad about it. I would definitely consider renting here again, despite the driveway because everything else was so nice!

Family trip

Our family had a good time at this property. We love the space and amenities. Very family oriented with games to play as a family, toys for the little ones to play around the kitchen while I was cooking and beds to accommodate the whole family. Only downside of this stay was the pillows. It made our nights rough while sleeping because they were flat and the beds are sturdy se we needed more support. Overall, it is an amazing house. My kids were in love with it and I fell in love with the layout of it. Lori was a wonderful host, very hospitable and quick to respond. We’re thankful for this! We also enjoyed getting to know the Massanutten resort as this was our first time visiting.

Clean house

Pros: Clean home, nice bedding and towels. Nice grill. Host was very responsive and accommodating. Cons: We come to Massanutten resort every year but this is the worst driveway in the entire resort. The only way to get in is back in. After dark it's even harder to drive in because it's so dark. Maybe adding a few solar lights would help. A few furniture pieces are overdue on upgrades. Limited silverware/cookware (tiny cooking pots/pans, only 5 forks) but good supply of knives. Dinner prep was definitely a bit tricky.

Such a great house!

Our stay here was perfect! The house was very open and comfortable. The bedrooms were great. The bunk beds were very stable and I felt totally safe letting my five year old sleep on the top bunk. The location of the house is close to the slopes and tubing. The only downside to the house is the driveway. It is very steep! As long as you are aware of this and prepared, it is doable and you get used to it. Other than that, I would completely recommend staying at this property! Communication with the owner was great too. We had an issue with a toilet flusher breaking and the owner promptly had someone come fix it. It was a great weekend for my family.

Not what I was hoping for

The location of the property is great, nice neighborhood. The driveway is EXTREMELY steep which required 4WD to back up to the house. Barely enough parking for a 4Runner and a Pickup truck. The house was clean, however, the cookware was not in decent shape. Most of it was old nonstick cookware and most of the Teflon was flaking off from use with metal silverware. We had brought food to grill but the grill grates were so rusted we couldn't use it. The house sleeps 8, but the living room is not conducive to that number of people and is not comfortable. There is only a couch to seat 3 and 2 chairs. There were 4 of us and we felt we were on top of each other while trying to watch a movie. The lighting in the living space is poor. Very dim at night. I was not able to read in that room with all the overhead lights on. There is a TV if the main living room. A small one on the balcony but this is pointless as you can hear both due to the proximity. Also, there is a fuse ball table on the landing which makes it hard to watch anything on that set. There are not any TVs in any of the bedrooms. We had two children with us and would have liked to be able to let them watch a movie in their bedroom to wind down from a big day at the resort. One of the bath towels had a large hole in it and was frayed. Some of the hand towels were so new it was apparent they had not been washed prior to placing them in the house for use. The dishwasher did not work, this happens. Things break.

Okay

Overall served its purpose, when we arrived the towels were wet, trash under the beds, and mold on the shower liner. There was a few bottle caps on the deck as well. Looks like the house had or has water damage. Looks to be in the middle of a repair. Driveway was very steep and from other reviews people said the same. No way you can turn around at the top. Probably would not stay here again.

Ski Trip

Property was great - only complaints I have are: 1.TV was outdated and had to download ROKU app to work the smart TV downstairs - upstairs TV not a smart TV. 2. Driveway was extremely steep but that was explained on property listing. 3. No Air Fryer - I had brought my own just in case. 4. One of the Doors didn't open, door handle/lock was jammed. 5. Need new Ice Trays - ones provided were cracked and broke but still worked. Suggestion: HOT TUB would have been great - plenty of room in the House. Overall: Great Stay and would highly recommend this house.
