Nice Home with Great Screened in Porch
We really enjoyed the screened in porch with gas fire pit. The home was very nice and had good amenities, WiFi and plenty of TVs, gas and electric fireplaces. The gas fireplace in the living room was not working for our visit and the floor one of the bathrooms was warped buckling. Although these were not fixed during our brief stay, the property management company was very responsive to our calls regarding various minor items.

Fall Break
The property was easy to find and accurately described in the listing. We had plenty of room to spread out. We enjoyed the shuffleboard. There were a few items we felt should have been provided, but when we inquired, the property manager was quick to respond and get them to us later that day, which we appreciated. The two biggest concerns that couldn’t be quickly addressed, so we did not raise them, were the lack of mattress pad for the king bed, which made the sheets slide around, and the significant drops in the driveway from the street. The latter is a real problem for a low to the ground car, as even our SUV scraped repeatedly with very slow and careful movements. Some sand and gravel would offer a significant improvement, and full paving might be a long term solution. Of course, many of the driveways in this community are challenging, so while this was somewhat expected, it could still be improved. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciate the clear and helpful information and action from the manager.

A good getaway
We were in town for a wedding and hotels are expensive so this was a good option for the number of us that we had. The basement was really cool and so was the screened deck with a fire pit. We spent most of our time between those two areas

Fall Family Getaway
We rented this house to celebrate my Dad's 90th birthday with immediate family. It was a great location and beautiful quiet neighborhood. Check in was easy and the house was ready at 4:00 pm. It was clean and as described in the listing. We had six people, so there was plenty of space to spread out and have some space, but also great family space. The basement was great for family movies and shuffleboard. The screened in deck was amazing and we gathered around the gas fire pit nightly. We saw deer in the yard daily, so that was really fun! We truly enjoyed everything about this house. Great visit and great memories made during our visit. There were a few things that could easily be improved, but did not hinder our visit. We are big cooks, so they could use some new pots, pans and some knives in the kitchen. The towels are a bit skimpy and none in the kitchen, so this would be nice to have a bit plusher towel. There are a few channels available on the tv, but bring your log ins if you want to watch football or other things. TV's in every room, so if people branch off, this is a nice feature. The house is located in the middle of the Massanutten resort with amenities and activities in every direction. An absolutely beautiful area with something for everyone. We will definitely be back.

Great Potential
Though the photos and description are accurate, we found several things to be poorly maintained at the property. We had several things go wrong including no hot water, the gas fireplace not working, the fire detectors chirping and the driveway has a deep dip that is rough a car tires. Trip Forth, the management company was excellent to work with with frequent communication via text to keep me posted on pending repairs. They actively tried to repair and rectify the situations quickly. Unfortunately it ended up feeling like a work weekend rather than a getaway. For this price point, the owner should be making sure things are in good repair.

Mostly Loved
We loved the house, especially the layout of bedrooms and bathrooms. Kitchen and screened in porch were nice too. But more of the basics would have given it a better feel - toilet paper, kleenex, paper towels and hangers in the closets. We had a bigger shopping list than expected. Those items would have made it excellent.

Fire pit didn’t work
Property was well kept. A little frustrated that the fire pit didn’t work. The propane tank was empty and lighter was in op. Also a bit frustrating that you have a cleaning fee and then require occupant to trek up the mountain 5 miles to take trash out. Start laundry and dishwasher and strip beds.

Family getaway
The house was in a perfect location. Close to all activities. Plenty of areas for the family to gather together. Loved the shuffleboard table even though I did not win our family tournament. Our negatives were the chairs at the dining room table need to replaced or repaired, the kitchen need some better large utensils such as spoons for serving. Also the shower curtain in the downstairs bathroom is too short and does not keep the water in the shower and the towels provided were small and very thin.

The house set up was great for my family and friends. It was clean and spacious. Both coaches are dangerously too comfortable…be careful or you may fall asleep on it very quickly. I would definitely rebook the house if we decide to come back to the area.

Great House
Pros: Great floor plan, great house location, nice to have a flat, wide driveway. Photos of the listing were accurate. Gigantic master bathroom. Comfortable mattresses. No issues with presenting our trip confirmation email at the rec center for complimentary passes. Great streaming channel options on the televisions, plenty of plates, good appliances. House is pet friendly but was still clean/did not smell like pets. Easy to text with the property management company. Cons: Thermostat was all over the place... some areas of the house were warm while others (including the basement and bedrooms) were freezing... Only 6 (small) bath towels provided... Propane tank to the fire pit was empty, which we didn't discover until we went to use it on our last night, so that was a disappointment. The lighting over the dining table was weirdly dim. Washing machine is mildewy. Overall it was a great stay!
