Heart of Massanutten Mountainside Retreat, Summer Fun for the Whole Family

Welcome to your perfect year-round escape in the heart of Massanutten Resort! Nestled among the trees in our privately owned spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home blends comfort, fun, and unbeatable access to the best of the resort, just steps from the slopes and tubing hill on Massanutten’s only ski-out street.

Upstairs, you’ll find two comfy bedrooms, a full bath, and a convenient washer and dryer. Downstairs features an open-concept living and dining area, a fully stocked kitchen, and the primary suite with a full bath. Both the dining room and the primary bedroom open onto a back deck with a beautiful view, perfect for grilling, outdoor dining, watching the deer or simply relaxing in the mountain air.

When it’s time for fun, we have plenty to do in our house! Challenge friends to the stand-up arcade game, play a round of ping-pong with the portable set or a round of games with the board games we provide.

Beyond the door, adventure awaits you in every season. In winter, ski and tube just steps away. In warmer months, enjoy hiking, golf, zip-lining, mountain biking, horseback riding, go-karts, mini-golf, and the resort’s incredible indoor water park. The scenic Shenandoah River is just 5 miles away and is ideal for kayaking, tubing, or fishing.

Whether you’re seeking a cozy winter getaway, watching the leaves change in fall, enjoying spring blossoms or a summer mountain adventure, our Massanutten get away has everything you need for a memorable stay.
