Great for Multi-Families

Greatly enjoyed our stay with two families and plenty of room to spread out without losing ourselves in the home. The place was clean, comfortable, and well stocked with games and zones for easy play together.

Great House

This property was awesome. Very cozy & comfortable. Some of the most soft carpet ever. The only issues we had was with the app that is used to lock and unlock the door. It doesnt work great. Maybe a lock that utilizes a code would be more helpful.

Graduation Weekend

The home was just as described. We’ve stayed in other properties in Massanutten and this was by far our favorite. Managers/owners provided clear directions, the house was well-appointed and the screened in porch was perfect for morning coffee.

Awesome house

The property was beautiful and very accurate with the listing. However, the cleanliness was a little disappointing. The deck looked as if it hadn’t been cleaned it weeks. We had to clean before using it. The kitchen rug for spotted and soiled. Just a little TLC would have made our stay better. For the amount we paid for cleaning along with the mandatory insurance, we should have received better.

Good overall, some challenges

Overall the house is great, clean, nice location, well equipped. I stayed there with my elderly mother who uses a walker because it’s a one story and had a few challenges with the big step to get in the house, no handles in the shower, the beds were too high and the gravel driveway. But there were wide doors and hallway. To unlock the house I had to download an app, create an account, log in, and use my phone. If anyone else needed to lock or unlock the door I had to provide their name and number so they could do the same. Kinda inconvenient vs a code. The place could use some small touches like extra pillows, throw blankets, a hair dryer but we appreciated the toiletries starter kit. Note that it is not really a mountain view but you can see a mountain through the trees in the back. And you can’t set the thermostat above 70 degrees.

Great spot to stay to visit our JMU Dukes! Two quick notes: the shower in the main bedroom leaks a bit, and a chair in that bedroom was almost broken.

JMU Graduation Family Gathering

Wanted a single story house to have adult family members enjoy JMU graduation weekend. Better alternative to 3 hotel rooms …close enough to enjoy events but still have downtime together.

Bear's Den

This property was fabulous. it was just like being at home. Had everything we needed to have a great weekend. We were there for our Grandson's JMU graduation and it was very close to Harrisonburg and all it's amenities. Thank you to the owners for allowing us this opportunity.

Beautiful, clean, updated home

This was a perfect long weekend getaway. The house is very well located right beside the mountain resort. It is well furnished, clean, updated and exactly as described. We loved settling into the living room to binge watch Netflix after hiking the trails in the Shenandoah!!!

We enjoyed our stay!

Everything was great about our stay except their was a bad ant problem in the kitchen area. And in the listing it says the home can sleep 8 people but it can not. The home can only sleep 6. Their are 3 bedrooms with three large beds but no pull out couch or air beds, so the home in fact can not actually sleep 8 people. Other than that, the home was beautiful and we had a great time.

July Mini-Vacation

Newly renovated home, nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac that provided us a nice little escape for a few days. The screened porch and deck make for relaxing places to take in the fresh mountain air! The property manager was extremely responsive as well! Will definitely consider staying here again if in Massanutten!
