We stayed at this amazing property for our daughter's wedding. It was absolutely beautiful and even nicer than the pictures reflect! This was also the best stocked kitchen of any house that we have stayed in. It made our stay relaxing and added so much to our wonderful weekend!

Great House!

We use VRBO nearly every time we travel and Magnolia House is the best-managed property we've ever stayed at! From the cleanliness to the amenities, the house had everything we needed. We traveled with our 18-year-old twins and two friends of theirs. Everyone had their own room and the kids had a separate downstairs den of their own. Overall, it was a great family weekend and we will definitely rent this house again!

Great house

The home is big enough to accommodate a large group but very cozy feeling. The home was very, very clean with many amenities. The towels were fluffy, the kitchen had every appliance we needed, plenty of plates and silverware and a very well stocked beverage bar. The owners were responsive. The driveway is steep and curved but manageable. Overall a great rental property.

Spacious Mountain Gateway

This cabin was the perfect retreat for our group of six. The spacious interior and multiple floors gave us plenty of room to spread out and relax. The cozy fireplaces added a touch of warmth and ambiance to our evenings. The location was convenient, with a short drive to Shenandoah National Park. The quiet neighborhood and comfortable accommodations made for a peaceful and enjoyable stay. Plus, the thoughtful inclusion of snacks was a welcome surprise. We would definitely stay here again!

One of the best properties we have stayed in

This was by far one of the best properties we’ve stayed in. Everything was super clean, beds were comfortable, hosts had thought of all the little things to include to make life easier. Location was convenient to both Massanutten and to get to food in Harrisonburg. Would 100% stay here again!

Outstanding Cabin in Massanutten

Amazing Massanutten Rental

This was our 5th winter trip to Massanutten and the best house we've rented by far! It was super clean and nicely decorated. The house was so well equipped and had everything we needed. The welcome snacks and coffee/tea/cocoa were such a nice touch. We're definitely interested in renting again!

If it is available -BOOK IT

FLAWLESS from Pre-check in to Post Check out. Property was everything it says it is and the location was perfect. Clean on top of Clean.. Did I mention Clean... Everything worked and the kitchen was more than adequate. Felt like home and then some. No complaints from my entire family. Parents are in their 80's and children are in their 20's. All found the property to their liking and would book it again...

lovely house

It was just perfect for our family, and was close to all the activities in Massanutten resort. There was a well stocked Food Lion for groceries and supplies 5 minutes away. The driveway is steep and has a tight curve that takes some effort to navigate, but the house is so comfy that it was worth it.

Christmas family trip at Magnolia Lodge

Magnolia Lodge is a wonderful accommodation. We had a family of 6 adults and 2 grandchildren, 1 and 3 years old. The layout was perfect for us- grandparents on the main floor, parents and grandkids upstairs and the youngest of our kids and her partner on the bottom floor. The beds were great!! First time with no back pain in the morning in months! The details of the home are so inviting. There was a Christmas tree and a place to hang stockings on the mantle — Santa came AGAIN! Little ones so excited. The kitchen was well stocked, with everything one could need. Lots of pots and pans, all sizes, dishes, utensils, everything. And plenty of supplies- soap, dish towels etc. And a supply of snacks, which the toddlers loved, coffee, hot chocolate etc. Finally, the property management company, VPMS, was first rate. We had lots of questions, the response was always prompt and friendly, even when we didn’t expect a response until the next day.Highly recommend Magnolia Lodge!

What a beautiful, welcoming, comfortable home! The house was spotless, spacious and nicely decorated. The kitchen was generously stocked with absolutely everything you would need from wine and champagne glasses, Pyrex, cutting knives, nice pots and pans etc. There was hot cocoa,snacks, tea, bowls for our dogs etc. I could go on and on - nicest home we have ever stayed in at Massanutten - felt like we were staying at a friends house! Beautiful Christmas tree and stockings on the mantel as well! Would give this home and owners 10 stars if I could.

Long Weekend Vaca

Great accommodation, nice size rooms and updated bathrooms. Very warm and loved home. Pretty clean, dog hair on couches and rugs. Found it supprising because the rental agreement stated no pets. There clearly is a pet that stays that affected some family and children's allergies. Found some kitchen utensils to not be fully clean but other then that. Our stay waa great.

Shenandoah National Park visit

Absolutely every thing about our stay was perfect with the exception of the convenience of having to do a 20min round trip to drop of the trash. The house was very clean. It was stocked with everything we needed. Everything was in impeccable condition. We stayed here with another family. A total of 10 people. 10 people and cooking meals for our families, including 6 children, meant we had a good amount of trash. It was a 10min drive in one direction to drop off the trash. It was just extremely inconvenient. Trash situation aside, I have not had many better experiences with renting a home for a vacation. It was, overall, a great house. I highly recommend it.
