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!

Great House!

Great location to the slopes, very clean and just as shown in the listing. Kids/young adults had their own space downstairs with the game room. Beautiful views! Loved the outside seating with the gas fire pit. Will definitely be renting this house again.

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.

Super clean house

My friends and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful house and we couldn't be happier with my experience. 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.

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.

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.

Family Fun Stay

Papaw and Nana have two sons, two daughter in loves, with three granddaughters 5, 5, and 1 and two grandsons, 4 and 3. We all loved staying at Rocktown Retreat last year, so decided to come back again this year. We will probably make this a yearly family tradition. The house is the perfect size, with bunk beds and a bath downstairs with a huge family room and pool table for the kids to play, adult kids too. Everything was so nice and clean and ready to be enjoyed. It is a blessing to find such a great place and an awesome host. Every question was answered and they even put up a door at the top of the stairs to help us keep one pet separated from the other. Both times we have stayed, we were impressed and would highly recommend staying here, I know we will be back. Thank you so much for caring and your hospitality, it really shows.

JMU Graduation Weekend Stay

Our family (7 adults a variety of ages) stayed three nights at this lovely property. We were there to celebrate our son's graduation from JMU. The house was clean, as advertised and the owners always communicated quickly, clearly and were very helpful. Check-in was also a breeze. The property was peaceful and perfect for people of all ages - the downstairs was a great hangout for the younger crowd with ping pong, pool table, TV and other games. We did a lot of our own cooking and needed to buy a few extra pans and kitchen items - there were some limits on what was stocked in the house. I would highly recommend this house and we would come back. Thanks for helping us make a great lifelong memory in this lovely mountain home!

Clean, Comfortable, & Overall AMAZING Rental!!!

My friends and I stayed here during the Labor Day weekend and we couldn’t have asked for a better rental to spend our time in! The rooms, bathrooms, living spaces were all extremely clean. There was plenty of dinning and kitchenware that were provided for us to use which made cooking and eating really easy. Other than the clean kitchen/dinning area, we spent a lot of time in the basement since it was cozy and there were plenty of activities (pool table, ping pong, tv, etc) for us to enjoy. Lastly, David (host) was very responsive to all my questions and helpful throughout our time here. Overall, this was an amazing rental with an amazing host. Highly recommend!!!

Our Family’s Favorite Massanutten Getaway

My family has had summer reunions at Massanutten for many years. We normally tear our hair out finding a home that suits everyone in our multigenerational group. Requests include accessibility for grandma, a master suite with easy walk-in shower on the main floor, no more than 2 levels, no steep driveways, adequate parking for all our respective vehicles, a well equipped and spacious kitchen and lots of recreational amenities. This year we added pet friendly to the list, and assistance figuring out where to park a towed camper during our stay. We were thrilled to discover Rocktown Retreat. We enjoyed this lovely, freshly decorated home and all the carefully thought-out amenities. We appreciated the good communication from our hosts David and Laurie and their responsiveness to our many questions before we booked. Highly recommend this property. We can’t wait to return.
