We had a great stay, nice property, communication was easy. Listing should be updated to reflect property name (which was kinda confusing) and to communicate no outdoor fire. We had a fantastic time and loved the property, clean comfortable beds and furniture. Thank you !

Has Potential

This location has so, so much potential. The location was wonderful and the owner was quick to respond to my text messages. The home was very cozy, too. But sadly the house smelled like cigarette smoke, the fireplace was broken, the tv/remote didnt work, the pillowcases were dirty, etc., and because of these things, I wouldn’t recommend this location.

Great Property!

The house was amazing and a great size for our family of 6. We had an amazing time and the manager allowed us an early check in to meet our needs. No issues with any instructions. The whole process was smooth. The only downfall was the driveway is super steep. In the winter, this may be a problem.

A real let down.

This house could be wonderful. First of all it was not very clean. Fans in bunk bed room were filthy. Sheets and towels had seen better day. Pillows and mattresses did not have protectors on them. We had to clean both balconies to be usable. The grill looked as if it never was cleaned. Again we had to clean. Much of the silverware was dirty. One of the cups had mold and a bowl was just put into the cabinet with food debris. There is not a fire pit nor a hammock. All of the outdoor chairs do not look as if they had been cleaned in ages if ever. The smoke detector was missing from the bedroom on main floor you could see the base where it should have been. Cobwebs everywhere. Area rug in living room has very curled edges, creating a tripping safety hazzard. There is not a fuse ball table as shown in pictures. There was an unsafe air hockey table. One of the prongs for the plug was broken off. This really disappointed my grandchildren. The loft is not as pictured. It did have a Pac-Man game but the light bulbs on the ceiling fan were blown. We replaced one bulb to have some light up there. Only one of the bed side lamps worked in the main floor bedroom. We enjoyed the Massanutten area and will return but not this rental for sure. All reviews will be read before booking another rental.

Great place, but unfortunately won’t rent again

The house was so cute! The things that made me not give 5 stars were the bed sheets- majority of them had evident stains and were dingy looking. The listing also had a couch on the top floor (wasn’t there) and the fire pit… doesn’t exist on the property and we were really looking forward to using it. Lastly, the kitchen sink had a leak and management was very quick and resolved it! But Lee, our contact who was very responsive, told me to empty the over flowed water bucket and somehow walk it through the house without making a mess? For the price I paid I wouldn’t rent here again to one, ask the guest to fix a maintenance issue that wasn’t our fault?? And two, not have all the amenities listed in the pictures and description.

Ski trip!

The cabin was very nice, drive way was a little steep, didn’t see a fire pit outside as shown in the pictures, no futon/small couch upstairs in the loft. According to checkout rules trash has to be taken to a dumpster 8 minutes away which is kind of inconvenient especially after paying a cleaning fee. Overall it was a pretty cabin and we enjoyed our stay other than the trash situation and not exactly as advertised. Would stay again.

Comfortable Stay

The house was nice and had the cabin feel we wanted. Plenty of room and spacious kitchen. There was NO toiletries as they web site said. No Shampoo or bath soap. No Massenutten store had shampoo so we had to go off the mountain to get shampoo. I specifically looked at the website to check before I left. The house book and separate sheet contradicted each other about cable. There is no cable and we don’t have Hulu, etc so we could not watch the sports games we wanted to watch. There were several light bulbs out and the loft shower didn’t drain so we only had 2 available showers vs 3. One of the reasons I picked this house is the pic of the foosball table. It was broke and had no ball so the tweens couldn’t play. Also, be aware that the carpeted stairs into the basement are slippery as I fell and slid down at least 6 steps, but didn’t sustain an injury. Despite the issues we had we did enjoy the house. The vinyl turntable was enjoyable! Not trying to put the house down just managing expectations and making owners aware.

Weekend Cabin Getaway!

My friends and I booked the cabin for a weekend getaway, a little vacation before the holidays. As soon as we opened the door, we were in awe of how beautiful the cabin was. There was plenty of space for everyone, including sleeping and lounging spaces. We also loved that there were plenty of bathrooms for us all, so no one had to fight for a shower or to use the toilet. The only caveat there--it seemed that the hot water got significantly colder if people were showering at the same time, not a big deal but something to keep in mind! Our group ate most of our meals at the cabin, so we loved having a fully equipped kitchen. The location of the property was also ideal, plenty of things to do/see within driving distance. And the property was very well insulated, we were never too hot or cold during our stay, it was perfect! It was a little weird that we had to make our own beds upon arrival and strip them upon leaving, but we didn't mind. The host was very communicative and flexible when we had questions/requests. Overall, we would definitely stay again and would highly recommend! Our little group is planning to make this an annual tradition and we hope to book the Owl Lodge again!

Long Autumn Weekend

Owl’s Lodge is a gorgeous home filled with unique items. Everything was clean and waiting for our arrival via a code on the lockbox. At first sight the steep driveway scared us but with a few trips we had adjusted. I loved climbing the 41 steps up the stairs as part of my exercise. This was my first time using VRBO and was pleased with the experience. I don’t know if the sleeping arrangements suited us due to the third bedroom being a kid room. That was my error for not noticing. The loft/bath combo upstairs went unused. The lighting was bad for puzzle building but there were tons of puzzles there so someone must have been successful. The kitchen had tons of pots and pans but many had seen better days and could be updated. And three mismatched wine glasses did not match our needs. All that said, it was a very nice stay and I would recommend the house to families.
