House was perfect for our large family. Kids loved the pool and enjoyed it as much as the water park. Would definitely recommend this house to anyone with children.
We loved our stay here. Marshall was very communicative and readily available whenever we needed to reach out to him. The check-in process was absolutely smooth. And the property itself was very well maintained and beautifully located. Would definitely visit here again.
I had an incredible time at this location. The pool was amazing, and everything was spotless. We enjoyed playing games and the grill worked perfectly. The surrounding area had fantastic food options as well. The host was very responsive, making our stay even better. Overall, five stars and I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!
A perfectly enjoyable stay. The house was well stocked and incredibly clean. My only suggestion would be to bring your own pillows as the ones provided have seen a better day. Overall, would stay again.
The house and indoor pool were spotless upon arrival. Checkin and checkout were communicated very clearly through text, making the whole process super quick and easy. Plenty of towels, blankets, and other essentials were available. Easy recommend for a weekend retreat.
We had awesome stay. POOL, POOL, POOL!! So amazing. House was nice big and neat.. linen on beds could be a little fresher, as well as pantry could use a scan and update on items dates . Overall awesome and will be going again!!
This place is amazing! We loved the pool, firepit and fireplace; just an all around great place to gather and have some fun. There were eight adults in our group and there was plenty of room for us. The beds were comfortable. There's a market about five minutes drive from the place which has convenience items and souvenirs and a full grocery store less than 20 minutes away. We had such a great time we're already thinking of going back next year.
2 families with kids 1-8 stayed here and we had a blast! We had morning and evening swims and went to Shenandoah valley for hikes in the middle of a day. What a way to spend time together! Our kids really enjoyed their bunk room and the pool, obviously. I loved that the owner stocked necessary supplies so we didn’t have to think about it or remember every little thing. Owner was very responsive to messages.
We had a nice stay at the pool house. The pool area was the highlight of our stay as our grandchildren loved the pool. Our host, Marshal, was very easy to communicate with. The kitchen was well equipped for preparing and serving meals. The lighting in the house, especially the kitchen, was dim. The beds were not very comfortable though that may be due to our preference for firmer beds.
We stayed at the property last weekend and had a great time. Perfect house for families traveling together. We had 4 adults and 4 children in our group. The property was clean, and had all of the amenities you could ask for. Plenty of towels, kitchenwares, etc. The pool was great. We enjoyed making s’mores around the fire-pit and using the propane grill for dinner. You can’t beat the location of this house. Massanutten is so scenic and peaceful. I highly recommend. I would love to book again sometime.
What more can you say - there’s an indoor pool! Our three kids were over the moon when they saw it and it was the focal point for the trip. Water was clean and temp was good (especially for the end of Oct) - basically spent the weekend in there!
The rest of the house was solid: kitchen had everything for meals, tons of towels for showers, very good Wi-Fi, etc. And the host was very responsive via text when emails were getting swept up by a filter and not coming through.
Our kids were a little too young to really get into what the resort has to offer in fall, but it was still a fantastic weekend and we’d definitely stay at the Pool House again!
What a fantastic house in a great location. The pictures don’t do it justice. I escape for the weekend with my four children and a friend of theirs and we never ran out of things to do in the house. It’s well stocked with games and puzzles and books and let’s be realistic the pool is just the crown jewel. My kids played in that pool all weekend long. I had to make them pack up early so they could stay in until the very last second! Also the pool is huge. Amazing house! We will definitely be back!
Things we loved: Pristine condition of the pool and water. Whole family played in there as soon as we arrived. Lots of different places to gather, grandkids and I played on the glassed in sun porch, guys chatted in living room and daughters chatted while in kitchen cooking. Beautiful neighborhood for walking with trails and a nice playground. House was very clean.
Things liked less: Oven is rather complex and requires a learning curve, suggest preheating on convection and then switching to regular baking. Casserole dish could use replacing.
Overall, had a great weekend. Will probably rent it again in the future.
The best part of this property is the indoor pool. It was wonderful to be able to use the pool regardless of weather and with no need for the usual sunscreen layers.
The house had everything we needed, the host was very responsive and it was a location that made it easy to get to everything we wanted to do. The home was essentially clean but it is old and dated. Though there are three bathrooms listed, only one is close to the three upstairs bedrooms. The air conditioning/coolness in the upstairs rooms also was lacking despite our cranking the thermostat to a low temperature.
One of our biggest surprises was that despite paying for a cleaning fee, we discovered we were responsible for taking our trash to a location that was certainly not close. It also seemed that the location we were directed to take the trash might not have been a location where we were allowed to take the trash. We kind of felt like we were breaking some resort rule in doing so. In addition, we were surprised to see other homes near us with trash pick-up on the day we departed.
Even with that, the house very much met our needs for a wonderful vacation.
