Beautiful Mountain cabin

Our family of 13 stayed in this gorgeous home to celebrate our son's graduation from JMU. The property exceeded our expectations and was even more beautiful than the photos. Brand new inside, professionally decorated, great location, clean and everything you need to feel at home on vacation. Hot tub and outdoor fire pit was very private and enjoyable. Will definitely be back again when visiting Massanutten.
