About this property

Welcome to the Nut House

  • Modern mountain house in the Massanutten Resort. The space has two levels, and is a great place for a family or friends to get together. This has been a project of love, as we have worked to revitalise this family house. We hope you enjoy the downstairs bar, newly renovated bathrooms, and open deck. This home is a five minute drive to the ski slopes, waterpark, horses, golf course, and driving range. It's a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful mountain. Please note our driveway is very steep, see photos.

Nice house!

The property is located in a beautiful part of Virginia. The owners were very friendly and helpful. My only complaints were that there were no dish clothes or towels to clean or dry the dishes and the upstairs was very dusty. We found food under the beds.

Mountain Adventure!

The house was well-stocked with all of your basic everyday needs. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. The porch in the back of the house was our favorite hang out spot. Everyday we enjoyed watching the deer. We even got to see fawns the one evening. Would highly recommend for larger families!

Great vacation

The house was perfect for myself, husband and 3 kids. So much space that we weren't on top of each other. Quiet neighborhood. One night my 7 year old played with the little boy across street for over an hour. Great location. Zip lining was so fun and the c&m carriage ride is a must do. Everything was perfect. We had 2 deer eatting in the back yard, lizard hanging out on the deck, chipmunk playing on the rocks and a turtle.

Very Nice Property For A BIG Family.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The bedrooms were comfortable and the layout was great for our needs. Very clean, spacious, had a lot of amenities, great location, indoor and outdoor eating options, and great communication with the host. Dissappointed about the no shower in master bathroom, only two tv's (main areas), no bunk bed options (for kid option), small grill, and huge hill for driveway (make sure you have 4 wheel drive). We will definitely rent again from this host because despite of the dissappointments we know not everywhere is a perfect stay and great things outweighed the not so great things! It worked for us!

We loved the Nut House

My family visited for spring break and absolutely loved the home and it’s location. It is close to just about anything you could want to do (resort amenities, hiking, stores, etc.) The home itself was beautiful. We actually miss it. Hoping to come back and visit again in the future.

Our Stay

Greetings, Thank you for allowing me to rent your property June 18-21, 2021. I would like to address a few issues I wasn't pleased with while staying at your property. 1. My family and I had little to no hot water to bathe. We shouldn't had to boil water to take a hot bath. 2. The wifi stopped working before we checked out. Our check out time was 11am. The wifi was disconnected 7-8hrs before our check out time. 3. The beds were very uncomfortable. The mattresses in several rooms were old and worn out. To the point the mattresses felt like you were sinking while sleeping. These issues are not acceptable. My family and I visit Massanutten resorts several times a year and never experienced these issues with other properties. While on vacation we like to get our monies worth. I definitely don't feel like the price I paid for your home was worth the issues.
