Do you need a place to get away and unwind and relax? If so, spend some time at The Grouse House! This adorable and clean home is perfectly located on a quiet street (backs to the forest) under two miles from the slopes, golf course and other Massanutten attractions. Ideal location for families wanting to get away and be close to activities. The waterpark is a short, five minute car ride away. Also a lovely setting to celebrate an anniversary, birthday or girl’s weekend. There are lots of local places to hike and explore, including a ‘lookout’ minutes from the property. Additionally, we are located just 18 miles from JMU, so book early for football season, graduations and university activities. We are a JMU family and would love to help make visiting your college student as easy and enjoyable as possible- go Dukes!! Massanutten is a four-season resort so there is always something to do.
The Grouse House has a fully equipped kitchen, with all the needed appliances, including a coffee station. Two bathrooms and three bedrooms (king bed- main bedroom, first floor ; Two trundle beds in the second bedroom can comfortably accommodate four adults/children, second floor; full bed in the third bedroom, second floor). There is a toddler mattress under the king bed for kiddos that aren’t quite ready to sleep on a different floor than parents. There is also a Lotus travel crib available for babies to sleep upon request. We can comfortably sleep 6-8 people. We refuse to cram guests into attics/garages, large closets or other poorly renovated spaces just to get a higher sleep count like some hosts. When we travel, we want to be comfortable and we want the same for our guests.
We are a kid friendly house! There are toys and blocks and a ‘board game’ armoire to help keep your little ones entertained on your stay. If you need to do any laundry, you have full access to the washer and dryer (laundry detergent provided). Two smart flatscreen TVs are available (family room and main first floor bedroom) and the house has great WIFI. We have contactless check-in and will send you a unique code within 24 hrs of your arrival date to enter the property via a smart lock. For safety, the house has exterior motion sensor lights and three security cameras outside- one in the front, one facing the woods and one of the front door smart lock.
There are many short-term rentals available in and around Massanutten. One thing that makes us different than most? We live locally and manage this property ourselves. We don’t hand our guests off to an online third party from a different state. When you book our property, if a question or concern arises, we will work with you directly.
Thank you for taking the time to consider our property. Whether you choose The Grouse House or another property, we hope that you have a wonderful and safe trip.
