About this property

2 Primary Bedrooms~Hot Tub~Grill~Pool Access~Walk to Pond and Park

Retro and cool, The Ski House is a cozy A-frame cabin in Massanutten Resort, Virginia, A perfect vacation home, this original Massanutten ski chalet is filled with light and decorated with an eye for design. We love the vacation vibes of this original mountain home.

Located inside the gates close to all activities and offering a classic retro mid-century modern decor. But we have not forgotten modern conveniences...free wifi, cable flat screen TV, DVD, dishwasher, washer/dryer, air conditioning, hairdryer, iron, etc.

Main level offers a great room, kitchen, and dining area that seats everyone. Outdoor amenities incl hot tub, Weber gas grill (propane provided), and expansive decking. It's a perfect way to end a day of skiing or golf!!

The kitchen boasts anything a chef could need - drip coffee maker, Keurig, toaster oven, blender, ice maker, microwave, and cutlery knives. And we make it easy: house includes all the “under the kitchen sink” necessities. We keep stocked for our guests: starter paper towels and toilet paper, dish soap, scrubbies/sponges, dishwasher detergent, dish towels, napkins, trash bags, disinfectant cleaner, coffee filters, tin foil, saran wrap, baggies, cooking spray, salt/pepper, and laundry detergent.

Sleeping for 8 in (4) bedrooms:
MAIN LEVEL:
Master 1 with adjoining baths - (1) King
Master 2 with adjoining baths - (1) Queen

UPSTAIRS:
Pyramid bunk room and 3rd bathroom: (1) Full and (1) Twin
Adjoining Queen room.
(Guests access the queen room by walking thru the bunk room.)

This configuration makes it a perfect set up for 3 couples - all have a private bath. Alternatively, it works great for 2 families - adults downstairs in the two masters and kids upstairs in their private space. The beds are all made up with fresh linens - we take these extra steps to make your stay be the best it can be!

Ideally located in the resort, inside the guard gates less than 5 minutes from on-site resort amenities: skiing, year-round tubing hill, ice skating, zipline, indoor/outdoor waterpark (biggest on the East Coast!), terrific hiking, golf courses, driving range, horseback riding, mini golf, racecars, bumper cars, playgrounds, outdoor pool, summer concerts, skateboard park, and more! Some amenities are weather dependent. Please check the resort website for the up-to-date 2021 schedule.

The community pool is open Memorial Day through Labor Day weekends. We have will purchased a 'renters pool pass' which allows guest access without the homeowner present. Bring pass and entry fee - $6 per person/day (5yo and under free) with in and out privileges. It is a lovely pool with diving board, lounging space and well-stocked snack bar. The Ice Cream stand is also there. Not all homes offer the pool access, so be sure to ask if this is an amenity you plan to use.

One final benefit of renting from us is our 10-page "House Info Sheet." It details everything about the house, resort, restaurants, shopping, wineries, hiking, emergency locations and even where to buy the cheapest gas! Whether you have been to Massanutten or not, you will find all sorts of insider information on how to get the most out of your vacation!

No detail has been overlooked. We have set this up to be our vacation home as well as a vacation rental. We do not rely on a management company with lots of homes, instead choosing to manage it ourselves and visiting weekly to make sure things remain fresh and in top-notch condition. Read the reviews! We strive to make this the best vacation house you have ever stayed in!

Spring Break 2024
The Ski House was charming and conveniently located to the Water Park and other activities we were interested in. Ski House had everything we needed in terms of space and comfort for 7 people, amenities, and kitchen supplies. The rental and instructions were simple and easy. The rain kept us indoors, so we hope to come back one day in the future to explore outdoors where we saw deer, a lovely creek, and lots of song birds.

Spring Break Getaway
This was the perfect little place for a spring break getaway! It was easy to find and our kids loved that they had their own space upstairs and the adults had their own bedrooms on the main floor. It was just what we needed!

Oh, wonderful mountain getaway
We loved this house! My 15-year-old and I love to snowboard, so this was perfect! My five-year-old had a great time learning this year on the slopes. My husband really enjoyed the amenities of the home. We love to cook, and the kitchen was stocked and we had everything we needed. We also really enjoy the hot tub. The house was very clean and we felt right at home. The hosts are very friendly and were quick to respond. We can’t wait to go back next year.
