Massanutten Escape with Personality Plus

This is the type of property that you will want to return to time and again. Spotless, retro-themed decor with some modern touches to create an inviting stay with personality plus.There were three of us and our dog and we had lots of space (both inside and out). Expansive decks with lots of comfortable seating and big windows that let in lots of sunshine. The setting is private with great views and the house is well stocked with everything you need for a home away from home.All of this plus very comfy and large beds! We will definitely return and that is rare for our family.

Phenomenal Stay

We stayed here for my birthday weekend with my boyfriend and 9 yo daughter. First, this home had such great energy and ambiance. We loved the retro chic decor. The location is great and central to everything! The house was very clean and my OCD heart loved the organization of everything in the kitchen cabinets. :) The hosts were very communicative and pleasant! We even left something behind and not only did they find it, but went above and beyond to return it to us! We absolutely love our stay and this home. We hope to return again next year!

Cleanest place we've ever stayed!

The house is absolutely amazing! The kids loved the arcade games. The view over the ski slopes was neat. The beds were super comfortable. I know beds are a very personal thing, but for us they were perfect. The house has to be the cleanest VRBO we've ever stayed in. When we've stayed at other places in the past the floors would make your socks dirty, so you felt you had to wear shoes inside. These floors were spotless. Wished we could have stayed longer but had to get home for a family event.

Amazing Family Vacation House

The property was very well maintained and was in a great location; only a short drive to apple orchards, a lavender farm, breweries and wineries, Luray Caverns, and Shenandoah national park. The property was well set up for my family with small kids and our dogs. This is an amazing family vacation house!

Great weekend getaway!

The house was amazing, clean and a perfect spot for our extended weekend getaway! The communication with the host was top notch and the home looked just like the pictures portrayed. Our kids loved the game room and are already asking to go back to the “red house on the hill.”

Great mountain getaway!

This place was perfect for weekend getaway. It has plenty of space, including a great kitchen, while still feeling cozy. We especially enjoyed the deck in the day and the arcade games in the evening. Alonna was great and very responsive throughout the booking and check in process. Highly recommend!

Good stay

We had a good stay. Just thought we had more tvs than only 2. But overall the host responded to all my concerns right away. My children enjoyed themselves just when it started raining the children just got in the pool and they didn't refund their money. I am happy that they was able to go to the rec indoor pool to finish their play. Just check the weather before you go to the pool. Other than that I would stay their again.
