Family Fun Weekend

We decided on Massanutten to get the best of both worlds with snow sports and the water park. This house was very clean and comfortable for the large party we had. The host was very communicative and friendly. The location was excellent, 5 mins to the slopes and 10 to the water park. The hot tub was a welcome retreat for a midday soak or to unwind at the end of the day. Very impressed and would definitely book again.

Wonderful Thanksgiving

We brought the family together for Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time. Kids ages ranged from 11 to 20 and there was plenty of space for everyone to have their own room. The area was full of activities to enjoy and we had a wonderful time. House was as advertised and more than delivered on the experience we were hoping for.

Great home in a great location

First off I wanna say how easy Andy is to work with. He's very accommodating and very responsive. The house is great. It's five bedrooms three bats. I was there with my family for my granddaughters graduation over the weekend and we had such a great time. It's a very Comfortable home the beds are comfortable. All the TVs worked and you can get onto Smart TV or music if you needed to I really enjoyed our stay and we definitely go back again. There's so much to do in the area. It's a resort we didn't have time to do any of that, but for summer or winter you got something to do all the time if you want to.

Always Great!

Yes Deer continues to amaze us. As our preferred property for our trips to Massanutten and Harrisonburg over the past couple of years, we continue to enjoy the house, its prime location, and the quality of its furnishings and amenities. The hosts continue to invest in their wonderful property and it looks as good as it did the first time we rented.

Mountainous Experience

My family of 14 needed a quick mini vacay and chose this country living home. Everything was super clean and comfy. Overall the stay was excellent. I suggest bringing your own wash clothes if you don’t like cheap thin ones and if you have a huge family like we did so you are not washing every night. I will say the owner Andy was pleasant and responded to all my questions and concerns. Prepare to have a peaceful and scenic view

Great mountain getaway

We rented this house for our daughters JMU graduation and it exceeded our expectations. Andy was a great host and very easy to communicate with and the home was better than advertised. The spacious master bedroom is wonderful and all the rooms were spacious. We hope to return in the future

Great for big Families

Located near a lot of family activities. It’s a nice gated community. The surrounding area is scenic, it’s a quiet neighborhood as well. House rules are clearly indicated and well communicated. Beds are comfortable and the rooms are spacious. The driveway is steep but that seems to be the norm because of the terrain in the area but it’s nicely paved.

Had a great time

We enjoyed our stay. The inside of the house is very nicely decorated, the outside could be a bit more user friendly. The beds were amazing! I do feel like since there was a cleaning fee the house should have been clean upon arrival, and it was not. Overall, we enjoy our time.

Excellent stay in well-equipped home!

Four families (8 adults, 6 kids) enjoyed an excellent stay for a group! We cooked all our meals in the well-equipped kitchen, and enjoyed the front porch, the kids running around collecting rocks and leaves. The seating and living areas were comfortable for the group while the kids enjoyed the TV room. The home has been tastefully updated and everything feels new and fresh. The owner was super responsive and helpful via email and text. It was a perfect home for a family and friends getaway and we’d happily stay again.

Enjoyed Our Stay

We really enjoyed our Spring Break vacation here. The property was spacious and clean. The only issue was getting up the driveway in a car. Repaving the driveway would help tremendously as there were some potholes at the bottom that made it difficult to navigate.
