The home was very clean and a perfect space for our family of 4. Very conveniently located. The host was very responsive and kind. Would definitely recommend!
House was clean, and conveniently located near ski slopes. My only critiques would be to have a heavier coverlet during winter months. The one on the bed was so thin it was like sleeping with only two sheets for warmth. Bedroom carpet and rugs could also use some updates too. I would recommend this pet friendly house to friends.

Property located in the center of the resort. Less than10 minutes drive to all the activities.
Quiet, spacious, clean. A bit hard to enter house due to door lock but after calling customer service we figured it out. Close to great hiking. Fussball table was a hit with the teen.
My family loved out stay at The Looking Glass. It was clean, comfortable and very close to all of our mountain activities. The foosball table was a bit hit! We would happily stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay. The house is very nice, and Massanutten is a beautiful location. We did have to call on our first day about the wifi not working, but it was taken care of quickly. We would definitely stay again.
This had all the amenities you could want, a great view, and big spacious rooms. The house had everything you could need on an away trip and killer internet as well! I will definitely be back in the future, now I don't even need to decide where to stay on future trips, this is the spot!!!
The property was clean and spacious - it is actually 2 different levels that look like they can be rented separately. Lots of wildlife in view and was an easy walk to some of the activities and easy in and out of Massanutten for JMU graduation. Only negative was the cost - price was hiked up because of JMY graduation--was twice the cos of a normal stay - but it is what it is. It was perrfect for a 2 night stay.
Great place to relax after a day of skiing or hiking.
property had everything you need to have a great stay. each room had a jet tub and full bathroom. Kitchen had everything you need to have a meal. The house was clean and everything worked. Took a few minutes to figure out TV's but worked well when I got them going. I highly recommend this property.
We had a fantastic time, our best anniversary weekend trip to date! As we were leaving for our trip, my fiance sprained her ankle, but opted to try and make it through...we ended up having a phenomenal trip with only minimal changes to our activities!There are lots of great activities for all ages very close by (we had to bail on tubung but stull had a blast at the escape room!) Or we just stayed and relaxed in the room (and the jetted tub!). Very clean and very comfortable!We even had deer ourside our bedroom window every morning watching us!
I loved my weeklong stay here with my teenage daughter, her friend and our dog. The house was clean and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The views of nature with all of the windows were amazing. The setup was perfect to allow the girls to have their own space downstairs, while I was able to relax quietly upstairs. The house was a little hard to find using Waze as it didn’t pick it up on the app, but it was literally the first house on the street. The property owner was excellent helping to guide us in, while checking on us through out our stay. Really enjoyed the property and our stay. I highly recommend it and will be back
Layout worked well for our family of 4. Basically two separate units so our older kids enjoyed having the downstairs mostly to themselves. Had trouble getting WiFi connected and DVD player does not work. Has starter coffee but not filters.
We reserved this home for a 4 day getaway in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I felt like I was in my own treehouse on the second level, while the first floor was perfect as a mother-in-law suite for a senior family member, who did not want to tackle the spiral staircase. If you are looking for a quiet residential neighborhood and don't have issues with climbing stairs, this is a great place to be. This house has lots of windows that allow plenty of sunlight, which I loved. It was bright, clean and immaculate. I especially enjoyed watching deers from the windows.
The layout and location are great and we really enjoyed our stay. A few suggestions that would be easy to do but be a big help to people who stay there...the bed linens are very thin and there's just one additional think blanket in the closet so an additional blanket for each bed would really be nice. As I saw in a previous review, there were salt and pepper shakers on the table but they were completely empty. This would be such an easy fix but super helpful. There were no instructions or information in the house about anything. We had to reach out about the internet and TVs as well as check-out instructions. They were responsive but a simple instructions notice would have made it easier. The outside light at the top of the driveway wasn't working and it's very dark outside. Again, the place was great and I would recommend it. Just some simple things to suggest that would make it even better.
