About this property

Mid-Century Modern Cool: Hot Tub~Grill~Creekside~Pool Access

Stylish and hip, The Nut House is located in the heart of Massanutten Resort, Virginia, yet surrounded by trees and mountains offering privacy and serenity.

Offering a main level great room with floor to ceiling windows, gourmet kitchen, dining area, TV nook, and deck overlooking woods with babbling creek. The three bedrooms offer the following configuration: main-level, king-bedded master (1 K) and two upstairs bedrooms (1Q and 2T). Linens and towels included.

The upper deck has views of the slopes and a babbling brook running under - it's a perfect way to end a day of skiing or hiking! Seating for 6 and a Weber grill (propane provided). The lower deck features an outdoor hot tub.

Our home is very warm and inviting, with comfortable furnishings offering a classic retro mid-century modern decor. We have had a great time traveling to estate sales for authentic and whimsical pieces that continue to delight our guests. But we have not forgotten modern conveniences...wifi, cable flat screen TV, dishwasher, washer/dryer, air conditioning, DVD player, iHome, etc.

The kitchen boasts anything a chef could need - offering both Keurig and drip coffee makers, toaster oven, blender, crock pot, hand mixer, ice maker, microwave, and Henckel knives.

And we make it easy: house includes all the “under the kitchen sink” necessities so you do not have to pack all the boring stuff. So we keep stocked for our guests: starter paper towels and toilet paper, dish soap, scrubbies/sponges, dishwasher detergent, dish towels, napkins, trash bags, disinfectant cleaner, coffee filters, tin foil, saran wrap, baggies, spices, cooking spray, salt/pepper, and laundry detergent.

We provide linens/pillows for all beds. When you arrive you will find they are all made up for you, ready to go! We also provide 6 bath towels; bring hot tub towels if needed.

One final benefit of renting from us is our 10-page "House Info Sheet." It details everything about the house, resort, restaurants, shopping, wineries, hiking emergency information, and more! Whether you have been to Massanutten or not, you will find all sorts of insider information on how to get the most out of your vacation!

Ideally located in the resort, inside the guard gates less than 5 minutes from on-site resort amenities: skiing, year-round tubing hill, ice skating, zipline, indoor/outdoor waterpark (biggest on the East Coast!), terrific hiking, golf courses, driving range, horseback riding, mini golf, racecars, bumper cars, playgrounds, outdoor pool, summer concerts, and more! Some amenities are weather dependent. Please check the resort website for the up-to-date schedule.

The community pool is open Memorial Day through Labor Day weekends. We have will purchased a 'renters pool pass' which allows guest access without the homeowner present. Bring pass and entry fee - $7 per person/day (5yo and under free) with in and out privileges. It is a lovely pool with diving board, lounging space and well-stocked snack bar. Not all homes offer the pool access, so be sure to ask if this is an amenity you plan to use.

We own our homes and choose to self manage as we are committed to providing a level of service and guest experience that is superior to any other. We have hundreds of 5 Star Reviews! Please read them - folks love the attention to detail and excellent customer service we provide our guests. We strive to make this the best vacation house you have ever stayed in! Come enjoy our little slice of paradise at The Nut!!

A lovely house in the woods

We were looking for a convenient place to meet and enjoy a weekend together. This home fit the bill, and we had a great weekend enjoying the hot tub feeling like we were in a treehouse! The mid century modern feel was fun, and I loved how quiet the whole area got at night. The owner was very communicative before and after our weekend. We will definitely look into coming again!

Beautiful home, close to everything!

We loved our stay! It is close to so many activities at the resort, was super clean, well laid out, and comfortable. The pool pass was perfect for our family of 4. The little extras like plastic baggies + trash bags were so nice to have. We felt like we were at HOME!

Nice and cozy

The location was very easy to access. The hot tub was on point. Everything was perfect. My only recommendation would be to maybe get a new coffee machine, the one there had a lot of calcium build up and hasn’t been cleaned in a while . Overall 5 stars.

Home away from home-perfection

The Nut House is the definition of perfection. Tucked in surrounded by trees in Massanutten. The house is immaculate. The coziness offers an immediate Welcome. The bedroom on the first floor with access to the main floor bathroom was perfect for me since step present a challenge. The deck off the back of the house is perfect for bird watching, and breakfast with the locals —deer. There isn’t enough I can say about the great amenities offered, hot tub, the kitchen stocked with spices and other basics. The home is beautifully maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Excellent stay at the Nuthouse! Hope to return

We had a fantastic stay at the Nuthouse! Everything was exactly what we wished for (and more!), for some relaxing days away. The decor is fun and of great quality and taste. The house offers a nice open space for gathering and taking in the terrific view. The house was fully stocked and impeccable. The location is perfect, close to all the resort amenities, which offer great options for families, yet peaceful and calm. Sitting on the deck or in the hot tub listening to the babbling brook in the background was so soothing. And Jo, the property owner/manager could not have been any more attentive - quick in every response and very helpful with information and recommendations even before we arrived. We hope to return soon!

Couldn't have asked for a better spot!

The place was really perfect for us! It was beautiful It was clean, the beds were so comfortable as wet the pillows. I loved how you had the television separated from the adult talking space. Not that my granddaughter watched that much TV, but it was really nice so we would have some private time. I think the only one thing I would have different, would be that you would have some rags for us to be able to wipe off or your guests to be able to wipe off the outdoor furniture. Being so close to the trees there were a lot of spider webs which we did not mind!! But we had to use paper towels to wipe everything off and it would have been nice to have some rags or at least identify some rags that we could have used and then washed. Really everything we needed was there it was perfect. And we thank you very much! Maybe next time we'll stay in one of your other homes!
