Welcome to Zion Abode, a 5300sf luxury estate on 10 acres, 1 mile from Massanutten Resort and 15 mins from Shenandoah National Park. The views are spectacular from all angles. This “HGTV-worthy” home is professionally designed with high end finishes throughout. The patio features a hot tub, barrel sauna, covered seating and dining area, and firepit. With 7 bedrooms (4 masters), Zion Abode sleeps 16. Plus, pet friendly! Managed by Chris at New School Hosting.
Zion Abode is a truly peaceful space, with great privacy and unobstructed mountain views all around (no neighboring homes between you and your view!). The house is about a 2 minute drive to the entrance of Massanutten, which features ski slopes, a year-round indoor/outdoor waterpark, golf courses, spa, mini golf / go carts, and more. Note: Massanutten is open to the public, so anyone can utilize their facilities and amenities (for a fee, of course).
The Swift Run Gap entrance to Shenandoah National Park is 15 minutes away with some of the best hiking on the east coast. JMU and everything else in Harrisonburg is 25 minutes away, and there are several breweries, wineries, and restaurants within 15 minutes of the house.

Tips for a Happy Hot Tub
- Be sure to unclip the hot tub cover before removing it.
- Please do not put anything besides people in the hot tub (like mulch or toys).
- If the water level doesn’t cover the jets, you can use the hose to add water. Please disconnect the hose when done, especially in cold weather when it could freeze.
- Always put the cover on the hot tub when not in use - this keeps the hot tub warm & filled with water. Using the plastic clips helps keep it from blowing off.
- For safety reasons, please don’t add chemicals to the hot tub yourself. If the water looks murky or has a smell, let us know, and we'll have our hot tub expert come by to treat it.
- Do not drain the hot tub.
- There's no need to turn off the hot tub. It may run the jets on low periodically to circulate water through the filter—that’s totally normal.
- Use plastic drinkware around the hot tub.
