Great little getaway!
We booked this cabin for a last minute getaway with young children and adults. The home had something for everyone from hot tub to firepit to air hockey. The younger kids loved that they had their own tv room downstairs next to their bunk bedrooms. The home was clean, so much was provided for us, really a home away from home. It's about ten minutes from Massanutten Resort activities, but right across the street from the waterpark which was really convenient since you can come and go all day when you visit the waterpark/arcade. The only minor setback is having to drive the trash several miles to dispose of it at check out, but otherwise, 5/5!

Great weekend away!
We had a great stay for a long weekend away with friends! The house was clean and well stocked. Kids and adults enjoyed the hot tub. We were surprised to see the house was not within Massanutten resort but it’s across the street from the Waterpark entrance, about 10min to top of mountain for snow sports. We loved how private the back patio felt and the gas fire pit was a great feature. Pay attention though, when the listing says the driveway is steep - it’s STEEP!! Like, doesn’t level out ant the top and is angled so sharply that our truck that was low on gas wouldn’t start because the sensor couldn’t read the tank level due to the angle! No worries, we coasted in Neutral to the street and it started. Thank you for sharing your home with us - we had a great time!

Loved it!
Lovely house in a great location (less than ten minutes from the slopes). We loved the different hang-out areas, the younger ones in the group could get loud in the lower level without bothering us oldies. The hottub great to soak in after ski-ing, and the star gazing was wonderful. The kitchen was well equipped. Beds were very comfortable and nice quality towels & linens.

This property was a very nice vacation for my families annual ski trip. We enjoyed the property. The kids enjoyed it as well. The property management was in touch if needed. The only downside was the parking on the steep incline to the property driveway. We would definitely rent it again.

Clean, well appointed home in a nice location
We had a great stay at Cocoa Cabin. Close to the national park, wineries, etc. and very close to all the resort attractions. Home was clean and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Only complaint was that we had to drive the garbage eight miles up the mountain to take it out. Pretty inconvenient for the premium rental price we paid, but otherwise everything was great.

Great place for families
Everything is as pictured, we didn't have any issues during our stay. Clear communication, check in & out was super easy, beds were comfortable, very clean - although we're in the woods, there was not a bug to be seen! Kitchen was fairly well stocked though there were some things that would've been nice to have like smaller sized plates and bowls, but nothing critical was missing. There were plenty of supplies like toilet paper, paper towels, etc provided for our stay as well. The air hockey table, hot tub, fireplace, and connect 4 games made the stay cozy and fun. Also, the nearby Brewhaha brewery was a great place for us to chill before our check in time. Highly recommend!

Cozy and charming
This home is very very nice. It was extremely clean and well stocked with all things necessary. We didn’t have to bring anything except for food and our personal items. If you are coming to explore the Massanutten area, this is a great location. You are a very short drive from all attractions.Check in and check out was super easy. And everyone was very receptive and attentive. The home is well decorated very fun for our family. lots of games and entertainment and a wonderful hottub. The beds were extremely comfortable as well. This home was also pet friendly, which was great for us. Everything was very nice and the only reason I would not give it a five is the following. The house is on an extreme inclined driveway. Members of the family were worried and preferred to actually climb up the driveway instead of riding the car. Something to consider. Other thing was since we had our dog with us. The yard is extremely small and on the hill it’s very hard to take the dog for a walk to stay close by the property. The home is not very private. There are two neighbors one on each side. And the last thing that I would say that the owners should look into is the heater makes a very, very loud noise and woke us up every night and it’s right under the master bedroom if you can take care of this it would be very helpful. We still really really enjoyed our stay in the.the home was lovely and stock with treats for the kids and hot chocolate and popcorn and we very much appreciate.

Family Getaway
First off our ages are 55+ parents and our 2 children (27 & 25) and their spouses. Due to recent health issues we were unable to travel very far so we chose Massanutten. We had the most wonderful time enjoying each others company. There is plenty of room in this home. Our favorite spot was the screened in porch. We prepared dinner in the well stocked kitchen and ate on the porch almost every night. We cleared the table and then played family games until we couldn't stay awake. Easy check in and out. Our only issue that should have been communicated better was the steepness of the driveway, lol. I am recovering from a broken foot, sprained ankle and pulmonary embolisms and let me tell you that hill is no joke. They do provide chocks for your cars, which is suggested! So easy to turn the driveway to the right at the top and make a more level spot to park at least one car for us older folk. We are planning to spend time there next summer since we had such a good time.

The property is well represented on the VRBO site. Very clean and decorated nicely. Everything was in working order. The linens are very nice, towels especially nice. About the only draw back we found was the very, very steep driveway. Our grandson thought it might be fun to run down, he’s 3, the fear of God set in when he couldn’t stop… thankfully his Daddy was there to catch him before wiping out. It would have been a terrible thing….. I would recommend the owners have some stairs incorporated into the front yard (sa the neighbors on each side have done). Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us.
