Great place in Massanutten. Our family of 4 plus dog had a comfortable stay here. Very clean and well represented in pictures. Kitchen was well equipped which made it easy to prepare meals. Like previous comments mentioned, trash dumpsters are far. The amount of emails from the host was a bit excessive. Would recommend staying here.
Tonya - Posted: 4/20/2025
We’re glad to hear your family (and pup!) had a comfortable stay and that the home met your expectations :) Thank you for the helpful feedback regarding the trash location - we understand that having to drive to the trash dumpsters can be a bit inconvenient. Per the HOA’s guidelines, guests are asked to use the designated dumpster area to help minimize wildlife activity around the property and keep the neighborhood safe and clean. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Thanks again for the recommendation, and we’d love to host you again!

Relaxing stay
Relaxing stay at Magnolia place. Enjoyed the basement for my children and they enjoyed it as well. Like the smart TVs in the home the location was easy to get to and convenient to the resort and water park. The home was stocked with the essential needs and the temperature in the home was perfect since our stay weekend was hot! Would stay again.

We were extremely happy with our stay in Massanutten, VA. The property manager gave early, clear instructions on what to do at check-in, rules regarding pets, and what was needed at check-out. When there appeared to be an issue with the clothes washer, a handyperson came to the house and had it fixed before we were back from our hike that day. I can highly recommend this property for kids - there are games galore in the basement, enough beds for a family of 5-6, and a spacious, cozy living room. The kitchen had everything we needed. The property was very well maintained inside and out. Above all else, using this property was easy from start to finish, which is all you can ask for in a vacay rental. 5 out of 5 stars!

Christmas Family Getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at the Magnolia Getaway at the end of December! It was such a nice touch to have Christmas decorations & lights at the house. It made it feel very much like our home away from home. This house was great for teens & adults alike with all the fun games in the basement. We also enjoyed the spacious dining area & well stocked kitchen. The location was also great for activities at Massanutten Resort. We really enjoyed being able to bring our little dog as well. The owners were great about communication & made check in very easy for us. Overall a 5 star plus experience & we hope to get to stay again soon!

Great Place for Vacation!
The house was awesome, especially for our group. Spacious living area & kitchen to hang out and great game room for the kids. The deck was amazing with nice outdoor furniture and firepit table. The place was exceptionally clean and newly decorated. Very close to JMU for visiting or taking in a football game. Highly recommend for a stay!

An absolute family vacation DREAM! Beautiful, clean, and close to everything there is to do in the Masanutten resort. Seriously, skip the lame condos in the resort and go for this gem. The communication was spot on and always proactive. Perfect for large groups- lots of beds and bathrooms to go around. Comfortable outdoor seating, grill, and fire pit. We'll be back again and again!!

There were a lot of amenities provided like towels, soaps, bedding, and they had games and TVs. The space was big and fit a lot of people comfortably. It’s a bit far from Shenandoah entrances. The instructions provided by the host were really clear. Kitchen was spacious, living and dining room were great to hang out in. Basement had lots of entertainment as well. Taking out the trash is a little complex, involves driving to the resort.

What a wonderful stay at the foot of the Massanutten resort! Our snow plans were disrupted due to rainy conditions, but this home was perfectly located to the indoor water park, Luray Caverns, Shenandoah National Park, and local eateries and breweries. It was also was well-equipped with games and smart TV for easy connectivity to streaming apps — perfect for rainy day movies! The home was comfortable and spotless!
