***** Top Reviews *****

1. “Overall this was an amazing stay. The house lived up to the description. The hot tub, fire pit, sauna, coffee & waffle bar are amazing! The views were spectacular! With the resort being so close there were many things to do. The constant communication was excellent & we were very thankful for all of the recommendations and instructions for everything made the trip a breeze!”

2. “This was the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at. It was the best parts of staying at a fancy hotel and the best parts of staying in a vacation house. Little things like robes and slippers for everyone were really nice. The kitchen was extremely functional and well appointed. We cooked almost all of our meals at the house and it worked out great. We used the espresso machine every day - we made coffee, lattes, and hot chocolates. And we made waffles, which the kids loved. There was also a ton of space for our family. The two youngest kids really liked the upstairs room with two twin beds.”

3. “I can’t say enough of about this Airbnb!!! This was hands down the best one I’ve stayed in and I’ve stayed in many!! Erika was an incredible host. She was extremely proactive and had tons of recommendations, she was thorough and super responsive! The house was incredible. Exactly as described and as the pictures portrayed. My favorite part was the little touches though. For one, she had robes and slippers for each guest! She had tons of towels and did not skimp on any detail! The kitchen was fully stocked.. she even had waffle mix and syrup and tons of condiments! I’ve never stayed at a place where everything you need is there. The coffee bar was amazing and even provided the coffee!! Oh and she had the best games to play with friends and family as well!!! And had plenty of stuff to accommodate children. The hot tub was amazing and she also had an arcade game in addition to the pool and air hockey table! Everything was high quality! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I will definitely be back!!:)”

4. “I visited here with my kids for my birthday and it was spectacular. I asked my 10 year old this morning what did he enjoy best and he said everything! The location was near everything in the resort. We did the scenic lift, go-karting and water park. We needed more time to do more activities. Even at the home, there were things to do. My family enjoyed the view, jacuzzi and sauna on the deck, swings on the enclosed porch, game room, and waffle maker. We were welcomed with comfy robes and bedroom slippers. The home felt so warm and welcoming. It was like home away from home. When we left, everyone asked, “ When can we come back?”

5. “Outstanding home with all the comforts of home! We highly recommend “Relaxation Retreat” owned & operated by warm compassionate couple definitely in “the right business”. Close to JMU for our son’s graduation but provides so much more! Enjoyed jacuzzi / hot tub & felt like we were suspended in a warm, cozy tub, as if we were high in the trees surrounded by nature, while jacuzzi jets relieved muscle tension in all parts of our bodies. We will be back for relaxing & enjoying more with no schedule next time. Beautifully planned home with all the little things a guest wants / needs (as well as big things) important for one’s stay but rarely provided all in one. Exceeds expectations! Spectacular views! Aesthetically pleasing & functional as well. It’s a rare find to have both, PLUS privacy while enjoying nature. Perfect place to think, focus, write, & to just BE. One can write for 8 hours a day while feeling like it was just 5 mins. Back yard is beautiful mountain going up. Pure.”

Mountain Escape has good cell reception & there is complimentary WiFi Internet as well. Is the home child-friendly? Mountain Escape is child-friendly. We have several sleeping areas that are great for kids including the Second Level Twin Bedroom & the Lower-Level Sleeping Nook. Is the home monitored by a camera? Mountain Escape is equipped with two outdoor security cameras. The cameras are located at the front & garage facing side of the property. There are no indoor cameras. What Massanutten Resort amenities are available during our stay? Mountain Escape is located in but not directly associated with Massanutten Resort. The amenities offered by Massanutten Resort are available to guests subject to appropriate costs, fees, &/or advanced scheduling. Massanutten Resort offers many unique amenities including the Indoor/Outdoor WaterPark, Ski & Adventure Park area, two fantastic golf courses, farm-to-table dining experiences, shopping & recreation options, along with a day spa for complete relaxation & rejuvenation. Many of these activities, including the skiing, ice skating & outdoor water park, are only available during certain times of the year. All guests will be provided with our Mountain Escape Welcome Guide which has all the information on all the amenities within the resort as well as activities & attractions outside the resort. What supplies do I need to bring to Mountain Escape? Mobile/cell phone as no landline is provided. Groceries or plan to eat out often.

A small complement of dishwashing liquid, a sponge, detergent packs, & kitchen trash bags are also provided. Is Mountain Escape difficult to find? Although Mountain Escape is located within Massanutten Resort on a mountain, its location is not difficult to reach with or without GPS. We do strongly recommend that an all-wheel drive (AWD) or preferably 4 wheel drive vehicle be used for travel to Mountain Escape as the resort area has some roads, including the driveway, which have high inclines & declines as well as being somewhat narrow. Accessibility & Stairs The lower level comprises; Lower-Level Bedroom Suite with ensuite bathroom, Lower-Level Sleeping Nook, a Living Room, & the Game Room. Access to the lower level is without steps/stairs & the width of all doors & hallways is greater than or equal to 32 inches. Does this home have pest control: Mountain Escape is treated both internally & externally with pesticides every season, that said, you will still likely see all types of insects (including some that fly) & arachnids both alive & dead within the home as the home is located on a mountain & in a heavily wooded area.
