We had a great time staying here in Massanutten. The drive was a bit steep but the house itself was lovely! Everyone loved the couch and the tv was perfect for our movie night. All the rooms were great sizes and the pingpong table in the basement was super fun! Felt isolated enough where we weren't anywhere near the city but close enough to places that we could drive to grab coffee in the mornings. Would love to stay again and longer so we could enjoy all the surrounding areas with a great place to come back to and relax.

The house was beautiful inside and outside and it was decorated beautifully for Christmas. It had plenty of space for my family, we loved each room and was happy to have multiple bathrooms. The family areas were nice and the kids loved the basement with the ping pong table and games. There was plenty of space for the kids to run wild. Shaina was a wonderful hostess, she answered all my questions and was very polite. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with my family for the holidays.
