Red Cedar Retreat at Massanutten Resort- SKI, GOLF, & HIKE!

A restful retreat at Massanutten Resort. Located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the home has a creek babbling in the backyard and is surrounded by trees. Deer wander through the yard and birds are chirping as you relax on the screened in porch. This home features an open deck to relax and you can grill your favorite meal on the gas grill. Relax by the gas firepit on the side patio. A picnic while sitting at the picnic table in the backyard allows you to be at peace at the edge of the woods.

Ready for family fun? A large family/game room features a 75-inch Smart TV to cheer on your favorite team or enjoy a movie. A shuffleboard table allows for a friendly competition between friends and family, or step back in time and enjoy a game of Pac-Man on an arcade game. Plenty of room to enjoy your family and fun activities! The ski area at Massanutten Resort is also just a five-minute drive away, the waterpark just a ten-minute drive from the home.

The home features 3, king bedrooms. One is located on the first floor with an ensuite bath with walk in shower. Upstairs, there are two king bedrooms and hall bath with a shower/tub combo. All bedrooms have a SmartTV.

The living room is bathed in natural light with cathedral ceilings and skylights. It features a gas fireplace to warm up by in the winter. A 65-inch SmartTV is also in the living room, just steps away from the game room. This allows for one part of your family or group to relax while the others release energy with friendly competition in the game room. The well stocked kitchen is a step up from the living room and features an open concept with ample space to prepare a meal for a large group. New appliances, granite countertops, and custom cabinetry make this kitchen a delight to prepare meals for your family and friends.

A back deck off the living room allows for indoor and outdoor living. A gas grill on the back deck makes it easy for any cook to prepare a delicious meal. A screened porch allows you to enjoy a quiet space while enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening and listen to the babbling brook. A patio near the front door to the home has a gas fire pit to enjoy the evenings.

Love, love, love this Mountain House
My husband and I traveled with our seven year old and her grandma. We couldn’t say anything better about this house. It’s literally the best rental we’ve ever stayed in. Everyone has their own kind size bed. Fully stocked with extra dishwashing detergent, trash bags, TP and paper towels (normally you have to go buy this stuff). They even provided some bottles of water and a nice selection of snacks, coffee and tea! My daughter loved the shuffleboard and Ms. Pac-Man. We came during the off season not realizing most of the resort was only open 12-4 on weekends but we still found plenty of activities within driving distance. 10/10!

Another Great Experience
This was our second stay with the whole family and everyone had a great time. From the waterpark to the other entertainment of the Resort to the comfort of the home, this one is a winner. Everyone was comfortable and could relax. The home is fully stocked to make cooking and eating in easy. The deer were everywhere, especially in the neighborhood. We highly recommend this one and we'll be back again.

Red Cedar Retreat most definitely!
This home was a wonderful experience for us. It is peaceful and on a quiet street. Plenty of deer sightings! The house was nice and clean (and I'm very particular) and allowed for different spaces of peace and quiet of you have kids. Masanutten has lots of amenties buy we preferred to stay in the home most of the time for the comfortability. The beds were comfortable. Many different things that helped with the stay were full kitchen and pans and dishes, seasonings, kitchen tools, and even back up trash bags and paper towels. The only 2 things that were a minor inconvenience were the water pressure in the showers weren't great but sufficient and the latches on the doors were a little loud and could be heard through the house. It wasn't the worst thing since we wanted to know when our kids got up, but others might not like it. Plenty of comfy blankets and the tea and hot chocolate packets were awesome! We loved this home so much and it was hard to leave! Definitely a top pick for us.

Very well kept property, and very clean. Well thought out added touches including: Coffee, Tea, hot chocolate, snacks, well stocked kitchen, dog bowls, phone chargers and more. My family loved the game room, and the snacks were an added bonus for 3 teen/college age boys. Host was very attentive. Ski Resort is very close by, and we had an amazing time on our first family ski trip. We plan to book again next year!

This was a great home with lots of extras. The game room was lots of fun with many games and a shuffleboard table enabling us to have several tournaments while visiting. The game room and living room areas both included large televisions which allows for people to choose different viewing options. The kitchen was amazing and we appreciated the available spices, paper products, and extras included with the rental. The outdoors also had several areas available including a nice fire table area and a private screened in porch. It was a really nice relaxing home and as a bonus didn't have a steep driveway or loads of step to enter the home. Consider this home if you are looking for a fun getaway.

Magical
Wow! What a wonderful place to stay. I would have booked more days if I knew how enjoyable this property was. The home is very comfortable, well-stocked, and so relaxing. Due to the weather, we could only use the screened porch but it was very nice. The kids loved the game room, there are plenty of games to keep folks busy. The Resort is wonderful, and we enjoyed the Waterpark, even though it was only inside. The home is on a cul-de-sac. The Beds were very comfortable. Our dachshund's complaint was too many steps, but he's old. 😉 I highly recommend this property and want to come back to enjoy more of the Resort as well. Don't pass this one by. WARNING: Be careful, the Map App, under the shortest route, will run you off course, which ends in a dead end. It's a pain, just be careful.
