About this property

Family Friendly Home Near The Top Of The Kettle,slope Views,close To Everything

Location, location, location!!!!
Lovely home located in the massanutten 4 seasons resort in the beautiful shenandoah valley situated near the top of the area known as the 'kettle.' close to the ski slopes, go carts, restaurant, golf course, arcade/gym, and miniature golf yet secluded enough away on the mountainside. This home offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, kitchen with a huge island, bar height dining table that seats ten. It also features a game room with a pellet stove for those cold winter nights. Enjoy the free wifi while having a cup of coffee in the bright morning sun rising above the valley on the back deck and a cocktail in the evening on the side deck while enjoying the wonderful views of the ski slopes and mountain ridge lines. Relax together on a warm summer night on the comfortable patio furniture in the screened- in porch. Prepare a delightful dinner and eat it out on the back deck which has ample table/chairs and a barbecue grill. For those less than ideal weather days there are books and board games for adults/children and an air hockey table. The children will have fun with the over-sized checkers game. The master bedroom has a 40' flat screen tv, views of the ski slopes and access to the side deck. The downstairs bedroom will appeal to the kids having 3 sets of bunk beds, private bath, and lots of floor space to play and a 50 " Roku TV. There is a huge attached garage that can easily park 2 cars and 2 separate driveways for off street parking for family and friends.
Come on over, we'll be glad to accommodate you.

Friends trip

The house had a great set up! The kitchen was well organized and had everything we needed including a crockpot! The kids loved having their own space downstairs. The living area was nice and cozy. Great location close to slopes. All positive things to say no negatives :)

Great stay!

Our family members stayed at this home. It is a beautiful home the pictures do not even do it justice. The accommodations were above and beyond what we needed. Check in was easy. A large group is easily accommodated in this gorgeous large home. Views are spectacular!

Great kitchen

The photo doesn’t do justice to the size of the kitchen island. There was plenty of room to do all of our Christmas cooking. And it is well-stocked. Bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas are all clean and comfortable, and there is a lot of parking in addition to the large two car garage.

Family Fun for the 4th

We really enjoyed the stay. The house was HUGE but very homey. The kiddos had a blast in the bunk and game room area. Perfect for families with energetic kids or teens that want to wander and have their own space. Multiple decks/porches gives couples a chance to seclude away from one another, while the ample living space and meal area is great for hanging out and dining as a group. Plus we got to see so many deer and groundhogs as we made our way in and around the resort!

Doesn’t do it justice.

The listing is humble compared to our experience with this house. It very spacious, bigger than the pictures imply. We found parking ample with 6 cars easily on site, with room for more. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, cookware, plates, and glasses. The community is beautiful, even though we stayed inside most of the trip. Highly recommended. We will be back next year.

3rd stay here for annual family ski trip

We really appreciate this home for our annual family ski trip. 9 family members ranging in age from 14 to 65 find comfort and plenty of space to enjoy fun, games, meals, rest and more. We love being able to enjoy meals ALL at ONE table. Two or more can be cooking and preparing meals in the kitchen at one time. We forgot our "quick cooker" and a slow cooker was available for use. The home seemed cleaner this visit, than last. The two car garage is convenient and helpful, especially when unloading for a long weekend and it's snowing or raining out. We highly recommend towels and bathroom rugs throughout house be replaced.

Perfect Winter Family Vacation

This house is clean and in good shape. It is just a bit dated, but in a quaint and cozy way. Love the downstairs space for entertaining and sleeping lots of grandkids. Location is great. Close to tubing and waterpark is not far. This visit is our 4th. We plan on visiting again.

Fun-filled Family Weekend

Location is awesome. Convenient drive to waterpark, skiing and tubing. This house is set up nicely with a well-stocked kitchen. Beds were comfortable. Pellet stove and gas fireplace kept the place warm and cozy. Kids disappeared into the basement game room and area all to themselves. Have only been here during the winter but I think the house would be great all year round. Great VRBO house!

Xmas 22

Ok had everything we needed. Had trouble getting code and getting in. Haven’t used VRBO a lot. Would prefer person to person contact( not messages) to get better idea about what to expect regarding kitchen things like blenders crock pots. Help using code. Disappointed in the ability to recycle but it all ends up same place! Massanutten,VRBO, Owner AND RENTER should contribute to system,and enforce rules. It should be included in the cost of a good time!!! We had great time. Thank you.

Happy Holidays

The process was smooth, from the initial booking. I was pleasantly surprised at the all of the holiday decorations and Christmas tree. The instructions for everything were left clear and concise. The owners consider many things as they have items available for just in case purposes. I think that was very thoughtful. We would stay again

Nice family time

We gathered for an extended family thanksgiving. The home is well equipped and spacious but definitely has an older, if not vintage feel. It felt a little like a homey stay at Grandma’s house, from the popcorn ceilings and colorful towels, to the quilts and older decor. The folding closet doors were a little screechy. But the bunk area in the basement was great for kids and young adults. There was a spacious garage and 3 decks/porches. We didn’t use them since it was cold outside but it would be a beautiful view in the summer.

Would Stay Again

We had more than enough room for the three couples visiting the Shenandoah and Charlottesville wine country and the national park. The property is in a scenic, forested area - saw an 8-point buck the first day there. The house was clean and well maintained. It was built in 1993 and has seen some recent remodeling, which hopefully continues to keep this a viable property for vacation rentals. All three couples enjoy cooking, which we did quite a bit, only dinning out once during our 4-night stay. The kitchen is large and well equipped, so a number of us could help out without too much bumping into each other. While not an issue with the property, we has some strangeness with the Vrbo app. Sometimes we could see the rental, and sometimes it thought we were not in the correct account. Communication with owners would have been a little easier with text enabled phone.

Lovely property for a quick getaway with family and friends.

Lovely fall foliage and the pictures of the house do not do it justice. It's very well appointed with loads of indoor and deck space. A great venue for a reunion with friends and our kids at JMU!

Loretta and Rick currently live in central New Jersey where we both grew up.

Why they chose this property

We thought that the Shenandoah Valley was a beautiful place to live with Massanutten being in the center of it all. It is a half days drive from NJ and even less time from other cities such as Baltimore and Washington DC. We want to open up our home to vacationers so that they can share all of the beauty and activities that Massanutten has to offer.
