The house is child-friendly but not childproof. Guests are responsible for the safety of their children at all times. ★ Massanutten Resort offers tons of activities for everyone, including the Spa, indoor/outdoor WaterPark (a family favorite!), two golf courses, mini golf, indoor virtual golf, wine tasting, art, music and cooking lessons, horseback riding, street curling, pickleball & tennis courts and Escape Rooms. Winter activities include skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing and ice skating. Summer activities include tubing, mountain biking, tennis courts, go karts, bumper cars, zip lines and climbing wall. ★ Smart Keypad Deadbolt: One day prior to check in, guests will receive a unique code to the front door which activates at check in and deactivates at check out. Guests have access to the entire home except for one owner's closet. ★ Driving Access: All streets to the house are paved and the gravel driveway is short. The home is in the lower hills of Massanutten Mountain with some steep roadways. If snow or ice is in the forecast, consider bringing a vehicle with AWD or winter tires. ★ Parking: There is parking available for up to three vehicles: two next to each other in the gravel driveway and one on the gravel shoulder. Though we do have a motion-activated floodlight, the driveway can be difficult to see at night or during/after weather events, so please pull in and out of the driveway carefully and watch out for the utility boxes! The HOA requires that all four tires remain off of the asphalt pavement. There is a sloped walkway approximately 50 feet long from the parking area to the front porch. Overflow parking is available at Hopkins Park - the first left-turn after entering at the Massanutten gate. ★ Wildlife: Our home is in the woods and so it is surrounded by a variety of wildlife including possible bear. With this in mind, guests must not leave food outside to prevent pests. Please clean the grill after use and do not leave any food outside. While pest control does service the home, being in the woods means bugs still get inside on occasion. We provide a broom and dustpan, as sweeping up can help deter bugs. ★ Cell Service: There is typically reliable cell service at the home and in the Massanutten resort area. Depending on how you travel to our home, you may lose cell service on your way or during some of your adventures in the surrounding areas. The home is equipped with high-speed wifi. ★ Free Community Pool Access: Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, we provide a pool pass (in the kitchen drawer) which gives guests \*FREE\* access to the shared outdoor Stonewall Terrace Pool! Bring the pool pass with you and return to the drawer when not in use. Please note that the pool may be closed on weekdays in late May/early June and mid/late August. ★ Trash: Due to bear risk, we do not have outdoor trash cans. Our cleaners take the trash after each guest; however, guests staying longer than 2-3 days should drop off excess trash at community dumpsters during their stay. ★ House & Community Rules: Please note the following house and community rules which allow us to provide a high-quality experience to all of our guests: Guests will respect the check-in and check-out times to allow for timely cleaning services. Minimum $50 per half hour charge applies for guests who overstay. Guests will respect the home and follow check-out instructions.

Perfectly located at Massanutten, the house is perfect for either 2 large or 3 smaller families. The kitchen was well equiped, the beds extremely comfortable (and Im kinda picky), and the living/dining area perfect for hanging out. We're thinking of doing a ski trip here in 2025, and this would be perfect for that. ##### Chris M. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie R.

The hosts were extremely responsive and communication, check-in, and check-out were easy and seamless. All the beds were very comfortable (rare for rental properties!), and the house was great for kids and adults. Highly recommend! ##### Sallie B.

I could not have chosen a more comfortable, beautiful, clean and modern home. It was the perfect place for everyone to have comfortable sleeping quarters, wonderful showers, and wide open space for meals and games together. ##### maria p.

The home is super cozy, well decorated and Lauren and Allan have really put a lot of thought into the small details. Our kids were with us and loved the home as well as the location. It was nice that we were so close to the slopes, ice skating and water park. The resort also has many playgrounds, hiking trails, and tennis/pickleball courts. We were also close to grocery stores and so many restaurants. Loved our stay here and will definitely come back! ##### Doan N. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### katie s.

Our host made everything very easy with how to videos & instructions. She was also extremely attentive and quickly responded to questions.

May 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Big, roomy home! Great house! Very spacious with an open floor plan on the main level. We had more room than we needed! The four bedrooms are big, and with more than one bed in two of them, this is an easy house for a big family, multiple families, or group of friends. Silly thing to review, but the bath towels are big, which is a huge win!! Lots of trees around the house, so it stayed nice and cool inside when it was 80 outside.The parking is limited since the HOA does not allow streetside parking.We were in town for a downhill race at Massanutten - we'd definitely stay again! Lauren was super easy to connect with. ##### Nicole L. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruchi P.

The house just welcomed us when we arrived. It was even stocked with things we may have forgotten(and we had) and it just felt like home. We brought a favorite outdoor game, Corn Hole, which the guys enjoyed in the front yard. We women savored seafood around the pit on the back deck. This spacious and warm retreat was just perfect for our group of ten from New York City and western Maryland. It was designed for enjoyment! ##### Sharon M.

It is a lot more spacious on the inside than it appears from the outside. A good assortment of beds and rooms with en-suite bathrooms in two of them, as well as a hall bath and a powder room. There is even a laundry room! Plenty of space for family activities. The kitchen is well supplied, and there is shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the showers. They even provide coffee and hot chocolate mix. All in all, a very pleasant place to stay. Highly recommended! ##### ray w. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruby P.
