Hot Tub - Massage Chair - Game Room - Fenced Yard

Open concept space with large windows to bring in natural light. Game room with multiple options and a massage chair in the living room. Four bedrooms that comfortably sleep 11.

The space
As you come down to the house, you are immediately met by a large covered porch that has multiple areas to spend time with family, friends, and pets including a large, comfortable sectional couch seating area, a 6-seater dining table with fire feature, and a two-person hammock. The gated stairway allows for easy access to one of the largest grass/yard areas for pets that you will find at the top of Massanutten Resort.

As you walk into the front door, you find an open-concept main floor that easily connects the living room, dining area and beautifully updated kitchen. The large windows bring in lots of natural sunlight during the afternoons until you turn your attention to the ornate fireplace that sits in front of the new leather couches, ottoman, and massage chair. The dining table easily sits 8 individuals while providing adjacent seating for 3 more people at the kitchen countertop. The bright and well-stocked kitchen provides all of the plates, utensils, pots, pans, and appliances that you may need including a dishwasher, large refrigerator with water and ice dispenser, electric stove top, oven, microwave, toaster, keurig and drip coffee machines, blender, crock pot, and more.

The main floor also includes a 75" Smart TV that is equipped with the Roku platform for watching your favorite shows and movies through the YouTube TV subscription or by logging into any of your favorite apps like Netflix, Prime Video or Disney +.

The second floor features a game room with 9 foot shuffle board table that can be used for both shuffle board or shuffle bowling, a full-sized foosball table, and 52" Smart TV with Nintendo Wii gaming console. The Wii includes two guitars and the game Guitar Hero, two steering wheels and the game Mario Kart, and two regular Wii controllers that will allow you to play table tennis, golf, fencing, jet-ski racing, frisbee-dog competitions and all of your other favorite Wii Sports Resort games. This floor also has a king-sized bedroom, a bedroom with full-sized bunk beds, twin sized trundle bed, and a few large children's toys, and finally another full bathroom.

The basement level contains the master suite that comes with a king-sized bed, another large fire place, 58" Smart TV and large master closet. As you walk through the master closet, you find the master bathroom complete with jacuzzi tub, a separate shower and two-sink vanity. This floor also contains a convenient office/work area that comes with a full-sized desk, comfortable leather chair, 27" computer monitor with HDMI cord to set up your extended desktop, as well as a wireless mouse and keyboard should you need to get any work done during your stay. This floor also provides access to the private yard should you prefer to let your pets outside from this level instead of the main floor.

One of the goals for Paws On The Porch is to create the most pet friendly experience for you and your family.

Great location, awesome cottage!

Everyone in our family loved our stay in Massanutten at Nate’s cottage! Hosts were excellent, easy to communicate with and attended to every detail. The cabin was perfect for our family size of three adults two young adults and three kids. We especially loved the massage chair. Plenty of games to occupy the kids and lots of space to relax. Feel like living in a treehouse when you sit and enjoy you coffee on the large wraparound deck. Great place! Highly recommend!

Great place for a weekend of winter fun

The house was great. Very comfortable and enough room to spread out with four teenagers. Great proximity to the mountain and after a day and night of snow falling, the resort did an excellent job of clearing the street.

Great getaway

Fantastic house to stay in enough room for everyone to have space and come together throughout the day. The patio and deck were great for hanging outdoors a hot tub, of course was always a plus. Nate was easy to keep in touch with nothing went wrong while we were there. All in all perfect location for getting together or hanging out with friends.

Excellent ski trip house!

My wife and I took our four teenagers and lab for a couple days of skiing. The property is perfect if you have a dog in tow, as there is a kennel ready available, and an excellent fenced in yard and wraparound porch for your pup to explore.The hot tub and massage chair were perfect for after ski recovery.The kitchen was easy to use and all the necessary cookware and utensils were available.There are games such as shuffleboard and foosball to play, and there are plenty of TVs, ready to use, which makes relaxing easy.We would definitely stay here again on another ski retreat.

Great Pet Friendly Gathering Place

We had a great stay with family to celebrate Christmas. The home is very pet and kid friendly, fenced yard, games and an amazing massage chair that all the adults enjoyed. Nate was great to work with. We had a hiccup with checkin time due to a cleaning staff member calling out sick. Nate was great at offering solutions and we had a great stay!!! Well stocked home, though you may want to bring some plastic / aluminum wrap if you’re making meals. Lovely very clean! Thank you for a great family holiday!!

Family Christmas Gathering

Host Nate was very responsive from day one. The home was everything we thought it would be from the picture and details listed. The game room, hot tub, and massage chair were lovely. The massage chair alone was a huge hit for the family. We also enjoyed movies while resting comfortably by the fireplace and we had lots of laughs around the dining room table. Last but not least, the beds were awesome. Best sleep we had in a long time. We are considering having a family trip once a year and staying at this property. Thank you, Nate!

Snow Fun

This property was ideally located for our tweens and teens to easily experience many winter activity firsts like ice skating, snow tubing, and skiing, and the home setup gave nice separation for play indoors. The home was "over the top" well-appointed, and Natecouldn't have been more responsive. The gas fireplaces and big screen TVs, adaptable to your streaming service, were enjoyed by all! Our pup loved having access to a sufficient fenced in yard that overlooked the beautifully lit ski slopes and golf course. We hope to return in warmer climes to try out the golf, hiking trails, and the many other activities the area offers.couldn't have been screen

Vacation in Massanutten

My spouse and I went with 2 friends for a week. The location and fenced yard for our dog were great. The house could use a deep cleaning. It was okay but could have been cleaner. The deck/porch/ yard could have used some leaf removal. I did get access to a blower once I contacted the host. The housekeepers should use stainless steel cleaner on appliances. The beds were all extremely comfortable.

Terrific location and family friendly

We spent 4th of July week at this home with family. We had a range of people from grandparents to 5 year olds and this house had something for everyone. Kids hung out upstairs in fun loft game room and adults stayed on first floor. Our teenage son had privacy in the spacious downstairs when he wanted to get away. The home is located on resort property and we were able to explore water park, adventure course, mini golf, tennis and mountain biking. Truly something for everyone!!! We didn’t use the hot tub but did explore resort pools. There is a fee to access pools but was worth it for a hot summer. The house is ideal for pet owners. While we didn’t bring our pup because it was a bit too far for him to travel, this home is a dream for pet owners. Fully stocked with a crate, treats, fenced in yard, and lots of trails to explore. Clearly owned by pet-lovers. Owner was super responsive during our stay.

30th Birthday Trip to the Mountains!

Very nice House !! We had 2 hiccups while staying here but we ended up enjoying the house. 1st hiccup was the refrigerator because it was not getting cold and we had just brought groceries ‼️ so he told us to pull it out and we did but could not put it back, my friend had to keep climbing over the counter to get to her room, which was annoying. We asked host to send someone like maintenance but he said there wasn’t one and this isn’t a hotel. After 4 hrs stuff still wasn’t cold or frozen so he offered to get a cooler but a cooler was not gonna work well for 200$ worth of food and drinks. He offered to send someone out and did but the app doesn’t allow phone calls I guess so we Missed the person who came because we were sleeping and they knocked 🥴😂 and could not return .Bummer . Long story short the fridge got cold the next morning and we made the best of the 4 days and had a good time, with the massage chair, hot tub and fire places cause baby it was cold ! I would definitely recommend but communication needs to be improved with the app, host and guest.

Wonderful Mountain Getaway

Wish we could have stayed longer! Our family of 8 visited the Shenandoah Valley area for the first time this weekend to tour JMU. We were amazed at everything this house had to offer - well stocked and well labeled kitchen, a hot tub, fire table, game loft, comfortable beds. But the favorite seat in the house was the massage chair! Whether downtown exploring Harrisonburg, or in the mountains near the Massanutten Resort, this area has absolutely stunning views, top notch restaurants and shops, and a great vibe! The host is very quick to respond and very accommodating! We can’t wait to return!
