Great for families!

We stayed with my extended family—including my parents, five kids, and their spouses—with children ranging in age from 18 months to 10 years. The house was very comfortable, and the kids especially loved the bunk room. It was clean, and the kitchen was well-stocked. The deck and views were amazing. Highly recommend!

We were impressed with every detail of our stay. Great communication prior, during and after our stay. The house is amazing. Million dollar view and lots of space for us all to relax after long days hiking in the mountains and enjoying the local area. Thanks for exceeding our expectations, April!

Making memories in Massanuttin

We did a family vacation at Kettle View Lodge. 7 adults and 4 children between 2 & 6. The home was lovely, the views were spectacular and our hosts were quick to respond with any question or needs. The resort in itself has a lot to offer but we had plenty to do at the house with the game room and decks. Highly recommend this property for anyone traveling to the atea

Great place to stay!

This is a great place to stay! We had plenty of room, everything we needed, and the owners were communicative and helpful. The two decks in the back both had beautiful views. We had some rain the week we stayed, and especially appreciated that the lower deck stays dry so we could still sit outside. It is close to fun activities for the kids, hiking and restaurants. Comfortable place to stay. Highly recommend!

Family Friends Trip

Three families with 6 adults and 7 kids stayed at the house for four nights. It was everything we needed and wanted. The bunk room is huge with a common space beside it for movie watching. The main level is spacious but not massive so it gives a comfortable cozy feeling. The view is unbeatable! The hosts were so friendly, quick to respond and helpful. The driveway is big enough to park cars side by side and they don’t bottom out like so many mountain side driveways. We would definitely come back if we ever wanted to explore Shenandoah Park or JMU again.

Amazing view

The view from the deck is beautiful. The deck has a gas fire and seating for 8+ people, perfect for watching the sunrise and relaxing in the evening. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty to dishes, cookware, baking pans and a crockpot. There were even extra coolers in the garage, which was nice when we hiked and took a picnic lunch. We would definitely love to come back again.

Wonderful home with breath taking views

We had an incredible time at the kettle view lodge! The house was very comfortable and well equipped with everything you need for a great trip. There’s so much to do in the house you don’t even need to leave to have a great time! If you want more adventure the home is located within massanutten so there is easy access to activities. We enjoyed being able to hear the concerts from the deck in the evenings. Being on a resort you are not completely secluded, but this wasn’t an issue for us and we wanted the convenience of being close to activities and we had quiet neighbors. We loved our stay here and hope to return!

The house was even better than we expected. The views were outstanding. What I enjoyed the most was sitting outside enjoying the view. It was very peaceful and quiet. The only noise was from the birds chirping. A great getaway to be able to relax and enjoy the outdoors. There were plenty of trails nearby for hiking and there was plenty of other activities available.

Kettle View Lodge was amazing!

A family getaway to celebrate. So glad we found the Kettle View Lodge. I saw the picture of the view on VRBO and did not look ant further. Surprisingly, the actual view is far superior to the picture. Everything about the experience was a 10! Great house, great hosts, great golf course almost walking distance from the house. We will definitely go back.
