Great spacious house
We had a great family vacation and were very pleased with our stay at the Acorn Lodge. The management company VPMS was very responsive with all my inquires before our arrival. The property was well kept. We loved that the house has two dishwashers to accommodate a large group. We also enjoyed playing ping pong in the basement.

Cute, stylish, clean, and loads of accommodation
What a lovely cabin for a big group to share! We were impressed with the fresh and stylish decor. The cabin has obviously had a recent renovation and it’s nicely decorated too. Lots and lots of comfy beds and bedrooms, and the way the downstairs was set up more for kids while the upstairs was more grown-up worked really well for our group that ranged from 1 yr olds to 65 years old!

Great space for AT hiking in SNP
The house was easy to enter, accommodating for our group of hiking ladies over 50, and was nice and clean. We needed all the separate rooms and bathrooms, and the laundry facilities were wonderful. Neighborhood is pretty- roads are windy, but not bad. Short drive to SNP.

Cozy Weekend Getaway in Nice House
Very clean. Nice layout. Home appears to be older but well taken care of and no maintenence problems. Hot tub was clean & worked well. Bedding, linens and towles very clean. Have stayed at several properties in Massanutten Resort over the years and this cabin is in nice & easy to acess area. Plenty of parking for 4 vehicles in driveway and driveway is pretty flat area compared some of the very steep driveways we have in other areas of the resort. I highly recommend this house for families, as we had 13 with us and could have brought several more with no problems. Overall, great property for the price, as have paid much more for other houses that were not worrth the price.

Lovely Christmas stay
Lovely stay. Ample room for everyone. Clean and comfortable. We did nearly get stuck trying to get out of the very steeply inclined gravel driveway. If there had been any ice or snow we would have had to be towed out. So if you don’t have 4 wheel drive you’ll need to park on the street and carefully walk to the house. There is no backyard or place for children to play outdoors (especially since there was no snow) which was difficult. But there is plenty to drive to to engage the children. (Tricky when half your grandkids have to take naps). There is a finished basement and a hot tub however, so we made do with the spaces when we couldn’t get away from the house. The kitchen was nicely appointed and there are TWO dishwashers!!! What a blessing for a group our size. I’m hoping the homeowner gets the note that the stunning light fixture in the living room was rendered useless by the blinding fluorescent office light bulbs. Some soft yellow bulbs would make a MASSIVE difference. There is a gas fireplace which we enjoyed every day and the Christmas decor put up by the property company was very much appreciated. We would stay here again.

Great little cabin
This little cabin was perfect for 3 small families going to the various massanutten resort options, it's right in the middle between the ski area and waterpark. There was some dog hair or something left behind from before and we had some allergy issues due to that, which sucks considering the cleaning fees we're forced to pay, but otherwise the property was pretty nice and served its purpose!

Did not want for anything
Our family of 7 adults and 5 kids rented this home so we could have an extended family Christmas together. The home was lovely with plenty of room for everyone. To call the kitchen “well stocked” does not do it justice. We had everything we needed and then some. The two large gathering areas (main floor living room and basement game room) allowed us to do a variety of activities, and everyone loved the hot tub. They even decorated for Christmas. The location near Massanutten Water Park was very convenient, and check in and check out were easy! If we are ever in the area again, this will be our first choice!

Mountainside relaxation
Acorn Lodge was indeed a perfect log cabin getaway for a family weekend. We traveled from out of state to visit with family in the area and spent a relaxing two nights enjoying one another's company surrounded by fall foliage and mountain air. The cabin was expansive and well provisioned for cooking and eating together, and made our group feel at home.
