About this property

Private, pet-friendly lodge w/ deck, game room, high speed WIFI

Come enjoy the ski season at this mid-mountain home with plenty of room for the whole family, including your furry friends. Close proximity to many of Massanutten's best amenities, including skiing, fishing, ziplining, tubing, the waterpark, the golf course and many more. Additionally, our home is within a short drive from Shenandoah National Park and Skyline Drive, plus many of the Valley's best wineries as an added bonus!

The property backs to a wooded area and has no neighbors to the right or back, so you cannot see the neighbors from any of the decks or the backyard - unless you count the deer or gophers you'll see regularly sauntering through the woods, of course.

The house offers an open, updated and well-equipped kitchen, plenty of seating for dining indoor and outdoor, two decks, a stone patio and firepit in the backyard, a game room with air hockey and pool, and lots of high end updates. We also offer free high speed Wifi and a smart TV in every room, as well as board games and toys for the youngest members of your party!

This home's location halfway up the mountain makes it easy to enjoy all of the resort's amenities, while having quick access to attractions in the Shenandoah Valley and beyond.

Beauty in the mountains

Lily Lodge was amazing for my family of 7 (2 adults, 2 teenagers, 2 little kids, 1 dog) for Christmas 2022! The layout was perfect. The farm table homey. The fireplace cozy. We loved every minute and made wonderful family memories.

Graduation Stay

After trying hotels a year advance, only to realize some quadruple the normal rate, we looked in VRBO since our last 3 stays with another house rental service were total failures. I picked 3 for my wife to choose and she picked The Lily Lodge. It worked perfectly for us. Great location, open kitchen and dining room (which bodes well with my Filipino in-laws), everything was clean, updated bathrooms. We only stayed 3 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. While I may have relayed too many questions to the owner, he replied every time extremely quickly. They even had graduation decorations displayed upon our arrival. We highly recommend The Lily Lodge for Graduation or whatever reason!!

Lily

Although it rained during our entire stay, the children enjoyed the air hockey,pool table,boxed games, puzzles, etc. Thank goodness for the Indoor water park! However,having to strip the beds and lug the trash a mile and a half up the road was not enjoyable and should have been included in the fees! We did manage to lock ourselves out once but Caesar was just a phone call away and talked us back in finding an emergency key!

Great stay

We all had a lovely time at the lily lodge. Linens were clean, beds and pillows were comfy. It had a well-stocked kitchen ( could use some regular sized forks) with lots of appliances! Everything was up to expectations, I would recommend this property to friends. One item of concern however, I noticed a strong odor in the room that I used the small space heater provided at the site. I stopped using it immediately and tried another one that looked similar, same thing happend. I suspect the wiring in that room might not be suited for a heater(kids bunk room).

We had a very nice stay. Property was well supplied with necessities.

Although listed as handicap accessible, there were several obstacles. Two steps to entrance, walker could not fit into bathroom, no shower seat. There were grab bars in the shower but no way for a handicapped individual to get in there due to step and lack of space in the bathroom. The step down into the dining area is another obstacle. Our family member used a walker and we had lots of help for him to get around but a person in a wheelchair could not have managed. One family member said that the upstairs shower needs extra cleaning near the bottom.

Good, but could be better

House was generally dirty and dusty when we arrived. The upstairs sink was clogged and there were pubic hairs in the upstairs shower. Some parts of the house could use minor repairs. There were bags of dog poop left by previous guests, and the fire pit was not cleaned (burnt/charred logs all around). On arrival, the dryer was packed with wet linens and towels and not turned on. The Nest thermostat was set to cool at 87, and if you adjusted, it would reset to 87 every few hours. Otherwise the house was fine. Nice location, and the kids really enjoyed the pool table and air hockey. Nice big kitchen and dining area for a large group.

About the host

Hosted by Cesar Amador (Lily Lodge)

Host profile image
I am a dad, amateur cook, dog lover and avid traveler. I'm a fan of water sports and fishing. I share the lodge with my wife, tween son and 15 lb. Chiweenie Ollie.

We live in Northern Virginia and get down to the resort every other week for pleasure and at least once a week to restock and inspect.

Why they chose this property

We've gotten to know the Shenandoah Valley as property owners for a cabin in Luray (the River Lily Cabin). We discovered nearby Massanutten Resort by exploring the surrounding areas, and were thrilled to learn Massanutten is a four season resort, with skiing (what it's best known for), golf, horse-back riding, a water park, ziplining, fishing and all sort of other activities.

When we first saw The Lily Lodge (formerly Leber Lodge) we were stricken by the stonework on the front of the house, the two-story fireplace and the generally cozy feel that is more common in significantly smaller spaces. While the house does back to one of the busier roads on the resort, the heavily wooded lot provides just the right dose of nature!

What makes this property unique

Tall ceilings, two decks, a large, open, eat-in kitchen with lots of seating for the whole family. A roomy basement game room, and plenty of space for the family to stretch out. Lily Lodge is also pet-friendly, and we provide plenty of amenities for every member of the family, including pet dishes for your furry friends!
