Mid-Century Modern Cool: Hot Tub~Grill~Creekside~Pool Access

Stylish and hip, The Nut House is located in the heart of Massanutten Resort, Virginia, yet surrounded by trees and mountains offering privacy and serenity.

Offering a main level great room with floor to ceiling windows, gourmet kitchen, dining area, TV nook, and deck overlooking woods with babbling creek. The three bedrooms offer the following configuration: main-level, king-bedded master (1 K) and two upstairs bedrooms (1Q and 2T). Linens and towels included.

The upper deck has views of the slopes and a babbling brook running under - it's a perfect way to end a day of skiing or hiking! Seating for 6 and a Weber grill (propane provided). The lower deck features an outdoor hot tub.

Our home is very warm and inviting, with comfortable furnishings offering a classic retro mid-century modern decor. We have had a great time traveling to estate sales for authentic and whimsical pieces that continue to delight our guests. But we have not forgotten modern conveniences...free wifi, cable flat screen TV, dishwasher, washer/dryer, air conditioning, DVD player, iHome, etc.

The kitchen boasts anything a chef could need - offering both Keurig and drip coffee makers, toaster oven, blender, crock pot, hand mixer, ice maker, microwave, and Henckel knives.

And we make it easy: house includes all the “under the kitchen sink” necessities so you do not have to pack all the boring stuff. So we keep stocked for our guests: starter paper towels and toilet paper, dish soap, scrubbies/sponges, dishwasher detergent, dish towels, napkins, trash bags, disinfectant cleaner, coffee filters, tin foil, saran wrap, baggies, spices, cooking spray, salt/pepper, and laundry detergent.

We provide linens/pillows for all beds. When you arrive you will find they are all made up for you, ready to go! The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook and serve meals -- just bring your food.

One final benefit of renting from us is our 10-page "House Info Sheet." It details everything about the house, resort, restaurants, shopping, wineries, hiking emergency information, and even where to buy the cheapest gas! Whether you have been to Massanutten or not, you will find all sorts of insider information on how to get the most out of your vacation!

Ideally located in the resort, inside the guard gates less than 5 minutes from on-site resort amenities: skiing, year-round tubing hill, ice skating, zipline, indoor/outdoor waterpark (biggest on the East Coast!), terrific hiking, golf courses, driving range, horseback riding, mini golf, racecars, bumper cars, playgrounds, outdoor pool, summer concerts, skateboard park, and more! Some amenities are weather dependent. Please check the resort website for the up-to-date 2021 schedule.

The community pool is open Memorial Day through Labor Day weekends. We have will purchased a 'renters pool pass' which allows guest access without the homeowner present. Bring pass and entry fee - $6 per person/day (5yo and under free) with in and out privileges. It is a lovely pool with diving board, lounging space and well-stocked snack bar. The Ice Cream stand is also there. Not all homes offer the pool access, so be sure to ask if this is an amenity you plan to use.

We own our homes and choose to self manage as we are committed to providing a level of service and guest experience that is superior to any other. We have over 160 5 Star Reviews! Please read them - folks love the attention to detail and excellent customer service we provide our guests.

We have set this up to be our vacation home as well as a vacation rental. We do not rely on a management company with lots of homes, instead choosing to manage it ourselves and visiting weekly to make sure things remain fresh and in top-notch condition. Read the reviews! We strive to make this the best vacation house you have ever stayed in! Come enjoy our little slice of paradise at The Nut!!

Peaceful
We had a wonderful time reconnecting as a family. There is a lot to do nearby, but when we wanted to get away from the busier, tourist locations, the house was a perfect place to relax in a peaceful setting.

Home away from home-perfection
The Nut House is the definition of perfection. Tucked in surrounded by trees in Massanutten. The house is immaculate. The coziness offers an immediate Welcome. The bedroom on the first floor with access to the main floor bathroom was perfect for me since step present a challenge. The deck off the back of the house is perfect for bird watching, and breakfast with the locals —deer. There isn’t enough I can say about the great amenities offered, hot tub, the kitchen stocked with spices and other basics. The home is beautifully maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A lovely house in the woods
We were looking for a convenient place to meet and enjoy a weekend together. This home fit the bill, and we had a great weekend enjoying the hot tub feeling like we were in a treehouse! The mid century modern feel was fun, and I loved how quiet the whole area got at night. The owner was very communicative before and after our weekend. We will definitely look into coming again!

Couldn't have asked for a better spot!
The place was really perfect for us! It was beautiful It was clean, the beds were so comfortable as wet the pillows. I loved how you had the television separated from the adult talking space. Not that my granddaughter watched that much TV, but it was really nice so we would have some private time. I think the only one thing I would have different, would be that you would have some rags for us to be able to wipe off or your guests to be able to wipe off the outdoor furniture. Being so close to the trees there were a lot of spider webs which we did not mind!! But we had to use paper towels to wipe everything off and it would have been nice to have some rags or at least identify some rags that we could have used and then washed. Really everything we needed was there it was perfect. And we thank you very much! Maybe next time we'll stay in one of your other homes!

This home was such a joy to stay in and the owners went above and beyond to have amenities to make the experience even better. The only thing I need to let the owner know is that the microwave was not working. No big deal. Would definitely stay there again!!!

Nice and cozy
The location was very easy to access. The hot tub was on point. Everything was perfect. My only recommendation would be to maybe get a new coffee machine, the one there had a lot of calcium build up and hasn’t been cleaned in a while . Overall 5 stars.

We enjoyed our stay. The house is in a great location for hiking in the park. It was clean and comfortable. The info packet was great. Having not visited the area, before it was helpful to have the recommendations and info. Also, cushions for outdoor chairs are in MB closet, as the info packet indicated.

It’s the Little Things
Little things make a big difference. Provided items like TP, PT and cleaning supplies plus a book of local info were very much appreciated. Small things like much needed fresh paint, thorough cleaning, cushions for outdoor chairs and clean windows would also make a big difference. My biggest disappointment - two of the four large picture windows are in need of replacement - you can barely see out through them. Overall, would not recommend.

Beautiful home, close to everything!
We loved our stay! It is close to so many activities at the resort, was super clean, well laid out, and comfortable. The pool pass was perfect for our family of 4. The little extras like plastic baggies + trash bags were so nice to have. We felt like we were at HOME! We are excited to stay at the Nut House or one of their other properties the next time we visit!

Beautiful view, very nice home.
We enjoyed the experience overall, the jacuzzi was very nice, relaxing, and clean, the unfinished basement area has potential for a recreational area. If it was mine ,I’d add a bedroom and some entertainment games, like pool table, darts, foosball, or air hockey. Unfortunately we had something come up the weekend we were supposed to check in and had to postpone our stay until Monday afternoon, we had to pay for the weekend we missed, reguardless.

Fantastic Weekend Getaway
So glad we booked Jo's Nut House for a birthday weekend away with my friends! The house was spacious, clean and so well-appointed with the cutest furnishings and decor. The beds were comfortable with fluffy linens. The hot tub worked really well and made for a relaxing soak after the drive up and after hiking. We only had a couple of questions during our stay, but Jo was extremely quick in being responsive and helpful. We honestly loved it so much that we wished we didn't have to leave. The location was absolutely great. It is right on the Massanutten property, which allowed us to enjoy scenic hikes and explore nearby Harrisonburg and various places Jo recommended in the very helpful house information binder. Our favorites were Hank's, Clementine Cafe and Cross Keys Winery, but there are many other places we still want to experience in the area and will definitely be back! It would also be perfect for a family looking to enjoy the resort amenities and I can see coming back with my spouse and kids too. Thank you for hosting us for a wonderful weekend, Jo!
