Extended Family Getaway
We had a lovely stay in this property for an extended family vacation. The house was big, the beds were comfortable, and there was adequate seating inside and outside. We really enjoyed the hot tub and firepit. The property came with free passes for the local pool which we happily took advantage of in the 90 degree weather. We really appreciated that the house was stocked with toiletries in the bathroom along with dishwasher and laundry detergent and paper products. There was even towels for the hot tub!Just a small thing - but the closets were empty without rods or shelving in many rooms so several people had to live out of their suitcases. This only bothered one of our guests who chose a room with a dresser. Also note that cookware is sparse and the grill didn't work so we had to eat all of our meals out. Also only 5 coffee mugs so luckily some of the guests had brought travel mugs with them.We would definitely stay here again and would recommend the place to any others. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

Beautiful Mountain cabin
Our family of 13 stayed in this gorgeous home to celebrate our son's graduation from JMU. The property exceeded our expectations and was even more beautiful than the photos. Brand new inside, professionally decorated, great location, clean and everything you need to feel at home on vacation. Hot tub and outdoor fire pit was very private and enjoyable. Will definitely be back again when visiting Massanutten.
