About this property

Large Hot Tub – Outdoor Fireplace – Propane Grill – Pet Friendly - WIFI!

Welcome to the Nut House! This home, the Nut House, is professionally managed by M Power, LLC, the local, premier vacation and rental company in the Elkton area since 2010!

This endearing, cozy, two-level home is located on the corner of Holiday Hill directly off Lanier Lane in Massanutten Resort.
This home is perfect for a romantic, family, or friend get-away with its three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Enjoy the large, 6–8-person hot tub on the main deck after enjoying all the Valley and resort has to offer or languish in front of the outdoor propane fireplace while grilling is done on the large propane grill.

** Thanksgiving, Christmastime through New Years Day, and JMU Graduation require a 4-night minimum while other holidays require a 3-night minimum. **

Enter the Nut House via an electronically locked door. Directly to the right of the entry way is a large closet where guests may store coats or shoes. Also to the right is the first queen bedroom with a closet and dresser for storage.
At the end of the hall is the large queen suite bedroom that offers plenty of natural light, storage, a full en-suite bathroom, and views of the woods behind the home (perfect for watching deer and other wildlife stroll by!).
To the left of the entryway is the great room which offers an inviting living room with large windows and doors leading to the main level deck, dining area that seats six, and a perfectly quaint kitchen. The kitchen offers all basic cooking essentials as well as stainless steel appliances and plenty of countertops for prep work. There is also an eat-in bar.
During the winter months, snuggle up on the comfortable living room furniture while watching TV and enjoying a fire in the propane fireplace. Off the main level living room is a sprawling deck that offers ample room for entertainment. Between the propane grill, propane fireplace, spacious hot tub, and woodsy views, there is plenty for everyone!
Back inside and down a short flight of stairs, is the basement level that offers an additional full bathroom, bedroom with two twin beds, open living room with plenty of seating, mounted TV, and games. There is also a children’s table with two chairs and a queen-sized futon for additional sleeping arrangements. Please note the fireplace on this level is ONLY for looks - please do NOT burn anything inside.

Outside this living room is a mounted canoe that guests may use with permission (any loss or damage to the canoe is subject to a replacement fee by the guest). A set of outdoor stairs makes getting up to the main level deck a breeze.

Hot tub is not so hot!

The only reason I booked this house was for the hot tub and it was not clean. Maintenance was contacted and it had to be drained and out of service for an entire day to be cleaned. This was very disappointing and put a damper on the trip.

Good and spacious house.

Our stay in this house for New Year's was enjoyable. The beds were clean and comfortable, and we were provided with plenty of fresh bedsheets and towels. The hot tub was a nice addition. However, we encountered a couple of issues during our stay. Firstly, the outside garbage can was full upon our arrival, leaving us with nowhere to dispose of our trash. Secondly, we had some difficulty with the heat inside the house, which we suspect was set by the owner. Other than that, the house is close to the Ski resort, the indoor water park, the stores, and many other fun activities. Thank you!

First Christmas away

It was our first Christmas away from home. I was thinking about where to put the presents for the kids, but the house even had a Christmas tree. The house was super clean and well equipped. It was very homey and comfortable. We had a wonderful time.

Birthday Getaway

Rented the house for my boyfriend’s birthday. The house is on the corner and we did go past at first. Easy in & out access of the property. House was very clean. All check-in instructions were very clear. We contacted host due to the ceiling fan not working, debris in the hot tub and the fire pit table not working. They got back to us right away and sent out maintenance crews. We don’t own a hot tub and I was worried about running with debris in there, but the maintenance crew was able to skim it out and it was fine. I just didn’t want to mess anything up. The fire pit table just needed a new tank of gas, which maintenance did. It is quiet and very beautiful. We brought our AppleTV & hooked it to the smart TV just so we didn’t have to mess with passwords. Check-out instructions came and were very clear what to do. Would highly recommend this property. They do allow a dog (we don’t have) so they’re pet friendly. There are ample sleeping options. We look forward to going back in the future.

Great Place

We went with our dog for a weekend. The place was great and comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub, closeness to beautiful hike trails, and the big fenced back yard where the dog could run around until he tired himself out. Only real complaints is the main bedroom's mattress is a bit too soft, but there's a firmer mattress in the other room.

Be aware

Came here just because it had a hot tub and it never worked. I wish I could get some money back, cause me and my guests felt like we’ve been scammed
