An impeccable and quiet space

We really enjoyed our stay at this very updated and cozy house. The house was well stocked with items and had a very comfortable check-in process. We really enjoyed the amenities the house provided, and the QUIET back porch. My only criticism is that this house does not comfortably sleep 10 adults, as there are only 3 beds, and 2 bunk beds.

We had a great family trip to Rocktown retreat. The house was beautiful and located in a quiet cu-de-sac. It has an open floor plan with bedrooms on the main level and a bedroom, bathroom, and huge game/living area downstairs. This worked perfectly for our family and pets. David was also very responsive. We would definitely stay here again.

Rocktown Retreat Rocks!

The house is so comfy, clean, and pristine with everything you need for a delightful getaway. The weather turned to rain instead of snow but that didn’t slow down the fun. My teenage sons and their older cousins had a blast doing competitions in the game room. We made wonderful memories! The owner, David, was great to coordinate with and we appreciated the flexibility and options to prolong our stay. Rocktown Retreat rocks and we hope to be staying there again soon.

Family weekend for JMU pre-spring break

Lovely, clean, comfortable & great location. Massenutten is a beautiful area and not too far from JMU. The resort has a lot of amenities to take advantage of. House had great decor and lots of fun games for chilling and silly family time! Host were very attentive. Thank you! Could have used a couple more towels, appreciated the extra blankets, and fans. Beds a little hard. Thank you!

The house was impeccably clean and well-maintained, making it a comfortable and inviting place to stay. One of the standout aspects of my stay was the host's responsiveness. From the moment I booked, communication was swift and clear. Any questions I had were answered promptly. I highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a clean and comfortable place to stay.

Weekend getaway

We had an amazing weekend stay at Rocktown Retreat. During the booking process, the host was quick to respond and very helpful. He even sent a guidebook with recommendations to local restaurants. We tried 3 of the restaurants and none of them disappointed! The house is even more stunning in person! It is clean, spacious and inviting. When we weren’t busy enjoying all the attractions Massanutten has to offer, we stayed in, played pool, watched movies in front of the warm fire place, and sat out on the deck watching the abundance of wildlife in the woods behind the house. Overall we had great little trip and I highly recommend this property.
