Pet Friendly, Resort Amenities, Game Room!

Welcome to The Otter Den at Massanutten!
In search of a peaceful getaway in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley? Look no further than The Otter Den at Massanutten Resort! This four-bedroom, two-bathroom home sleeps a total of 10 people and includes one king bed, two queen beds, and one twin over full bunk bed.

This cozy mountain home will be the perfect backdrop for unforgettable memories with friends and family. Cook a hearty breakfast in the fully-equipped country-style kitchen, take part in a bit of competitive fun with pool, cards, and board games in the game room, or enjoy a quiet cup of coffee while observing the local wildlife from the comfort of the screened porch. The vaulted ceilings and large windows of the main level provide tons of natural light and views of the wooded area surrounding the home.

The Otter Den will feel like a secluded mountain getaway, but is located on-site at Massanutten Resort which features exciting attractions like the Indoor/Outdoor WaterPark, Family Adventure Park, two golf courses, hiking trails, and more. The Otter Den also includes free access to resort pools and recreation centers. Once you are finished enjoying all that the resort has to offer, we suggest a trip to nearby local communities for some of the Shenandoah Valley's best outdoor recreation, dining, and entertainment options.

Perfect for kids
The house was just as pictured, beautiful! Very welcoming and great for kids of all ages. The community is very quiet and close to Shenandoah. Loved the perks of the resort as well with the pool!

Stay in the mountains
It was the perfect spot! So peaceful and felt like we were in the middle of the woods without being isolated in the middle of the woods! It was clean and such a great place to stay! Loved the screened porch. Would definitely stay again. They forgot to leave trash bags in any of the trash cans but that was an easy grocery run fix!

Very Nice Place to Stay
We had a small snafu after checking in. We didn’t have any trash bags. We contacted the owner who had someone run a couple to us. We had to purchase more trash bags so each can would have one. After that our trip was fabulous. We enjoyed the property. It was close to what we needed. The place was clean and well appointed. My son enjoyed the pool table and we liked that we had access to a pool. (It was difficult to find which one was open as it was in the shoulder season.) We participated in a couple of the classes offered by the report and did an escape room and Luray Caverns. It was definitely a good choice.

Spread Out
The Otter Den Cabin allowed my family to spread out, have plenty of space for family dinner, and make fun memories on vacation. The three bedrooms upstairs, 1 huge bedroom downstairs, and ample square footage made the home feel open and spacious. We enjoyed the large dining room for family meals. The kitchen is simple, but well-appointed for healthy meal preparation.

Great location for JMU activities
We stayed in Otter Den several days over the graduation weekend. The house provided plenty of space for our extended family. We especially loved the dining room which had plenty of seating so we could all eat together. It was a quick and easy 20 minute drive to get into Harrisonburg for graduation activities.

Great place for 2 families with children
My family of 5 and my sister’s family of 5 greatly enjoyed this cute home at Massanutten for a short week. We knew there wouldn’t be much snow so wanted a good home base in case we couldn’t do all the things we usually do when coming to the mountain each year. We had 6 kids ages 3-9 and the place worked out great! The downstairs rec room was great, it was so nice to not have to pack any toys with us, and the adults could enjoy playing pool in the evenings. The kids and adults played so much chess, it was great. My youngest took a nap on the hammock outside one afternoon and all the kids took turns playing on the swing out towards the back. It was nice to have the dog friendly house as well so we could take our pup with us and enjoy some hiking while we were there. Overall the perfect place for 2 families! Plenty of space to sleep, play, and a great kitchen with all the things! We will definitely be back!

In Massanutten Resort
We had a nice time at the cabin. We spent 4 nights with our daughter, son in law and grandsons. There is plenty to do at the resort but the majority of the time was spent at Shenandoah NP which was pretty close. We stay at many VRBO’s, so we always pack extra items. This cabin didn’t have any start up items - laundry detergent, dishwasher or dish detergent. I did let the managing company know when we left. Overall, we had great family time and the weather was outstanding.

Great Stay
This was a great location for my family and our very close friends to be able to visit and catch up. The location is perfect for those looking to take advantage of the Massanutten Resort and the access to the pools was an extra. It was perfect space for all of us including 4 adults, 3 children, and 2 dogs and we took advantage of all of it. On arrival there was a hiccup with a leak from the AC that was on the roof with notable leak in the ceiling. The management company was super responsive and had it all addressed by the evening. The area is nice and quiet and although there are neighbors relatively close-by, we felt like we had a decent amount of privacy. Definitely highly recommend this home and would return again.

Just right
My family really enjoyed our time here. The house was nice and comfortable. Clean and just the right amount of space for my family. The only issue we ran into was that two of the bedrooms didn’t have a television and the kids WERE NOT happy about that. That seemed odd being that the other two bedrooms did. We didn’t make use of the grill this time around but I’m sure we will in the future as we plan to use this home again. The family game room was absolutely fantastic. Something for all ages to engage in. Overall great cabin for a family with children. We loved it!

No Cabin Fever Here
Very much loved our stay! It was awesome the place was already decorated for Christmas when we arrived the day before thanksgiving (super cute decor in the house - my family was very impressed). The house was stocked full of fun things to do as a family... Pool table, puzzles and games, and tons of toys for our 2 four-year old's. Place was clean, beds comfortable, nicely equipped kitchen. I would definitely recommend for a stay.
