  • Welcome to Woodside Refuge by TripForth – Your Private Mountain Escape in Massanutten

    Tucked away among the trees with peaceful mountain views, Woodside Refuge is the kind of place where you can truly unplug, spread out, and enjoy the best of mountain living—without sacrificing comfort or fun.

    This spacious 3-bedroom retreat comfortably sleeps up to 8 guests and is designed for connection, relaxation, and a little friendly competition. Whether you're planning a family getaway, couples trip, or weekend escape with friends, you'll find everything you need right here.

    Why Guests Love Woodside Refuge:
    • Private game room with foosball table – perfect for game nights and rainy days

The open living space invites you to gather around the fireplace, share meals in the full kitchen and dining area, or simply relax after a day on the mountain. Downstairs, the game room adds an extra layer of entertainment with a foosball table and additional lounge space.
    Step outside and you’ll find your own private retreat—sip your morning coffee on the deck, fire up the grill for dinner, or end the night around the fire pit under the stars.

    • 1 Queen Bedroom

Great spot for multiple couples

We really enjoyed our stay. Even though there were only 2 of us (and the dog). We would certainly go back with another couple, it is ideal for that as there was plenty of room and we could each have our own king/bath combo. That is hard to find AND the property was central to our activities.

Wonderful property for children and pets

Lovely property with lots of room, spacious yard for our dog and nicely stocked with cook ware. We loved the area because the local "resort" has something for everyone whether it be skiing, water park, golf, etc. Tripforth was easy to work with. We will be returning!

Very Happy

The layout of the house was spectacular. Was able to access the kitchen from the hallway and living room creating a circle. Loads of light sources, everything you could possibly need in the kitchen is there, plenty of linens and paper products, and it was very clean. We had trouble with a light in the basement bathroom but communication was quick and the problem fixed same day. I would gladly stay here again!! A perfect place for any family to stay at.

Spring breakers

Me and my family enjoyed our spring break at this facility. The only downfall to our stay is not having propane so we could grill wasn’t too sure if we were supposed to buy more or the property was supposed to provide it, but that was the only issue we had with the property.

House is nice and in a good location. The oven is broken - it turns on but never reaches a cooking temp - and we could not cook as planned. But we had a good time!

Pet friendly house

It would be helpful if dishwashing soap and dishwasher tabs be provided My experience is that a few days worth are needed for those traveling a distance. Also there were no blankets. As a pet friendly house, a fenced in yard area would be great since the road is very busy and there was no place to walk the fog

Location

The house was beautiful, clean and we had a lovely stay. I would suggest you get a new sectional for the living room. We could only sit on one end because the other end was next to impossible to get up out of. The springs on the back of the sofa are all broken and poking out of the back fabric, walking behind that someone could get seriously hurt and cut real bad. Adding what type of coffe pot would be very helpful so your guests know what type of coffee is needed. K Cups or what type of filter. The house is too close to the street and very dangerous, cars fly by you here the noise of the traffic. Other than that if you don’t have a per traveling with you I would highly recommend staying here.

Great place close to JMU and Massanutten

This was an ideal place for our family to stay during the JMU family weekend visiting our son in college. It was beautiful, quiet and away from the ruckus of Harrisonburg while at the same time only 20 minutes away so that we could attend all of the things we as parents want to do with our kiddos at school. It was also only 25 minutes from the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. The only bump in the road was flying in late from California (takes 7 flight hours and another 2 driving to get there) through a hurricane and having a three hour time change and being told at 8:30 in the morning that someone would be arriving IMMEDIATELY and we had to answer the door and make the place available for their maintenance people. There was no question, request or them doing it the day before when no one was in it (they offered to sell us another day earlier at half rate but we weren’t flying in then) or after. We were told there would be flashlights when we got back on the 2nd night as they were expecting power outages (again hurricane rains) and there weren’t any but luckily we didn’t lose power. i’m giving it five stars only because it was an ideal location and a really beautiful place. But communication with mgmt and consideration for us could have been a little better. That being said, we would stay there again and just hope that this was a fluke that doesn’t happen often.

Perfect spot for a Shenendoah Vacation

Great location for access to the park, which was our primary purpose of the stay. However, the proximity to the resort was great as the kids loved the waterpark. The property was clean and tidy, everything was provided and it was a very comfortable stay. Would certainly recommend to anyone traveling to the area.
