A great stay!!!

Stayed at Hopkins House for JMU graduation weekend. Leah was so easy to contact and very responsive to questions. The house was perfect for our family - I love being able to spread out a little bit and not be confined to a hotel room. Having drinks and playing games on the deck was a great way to spend an afternoon. Everything you needed to to be comfortable was there, plenty of room to spread out and relax. We did not use the hot tub but I imagine in the colder weather it would be awesome after a day of skiing. All in all a great experience.

Great family meeting place for the holiday

We really enjoyed staying at this home. It was more than enough room for us to enjoy Thanksgiving together. We had all the utensils we needed and it worked out perfectly. It is about 15 minutes away to the grocery store, which made it a nice and quiet destinstion. Seeing the sunrise over hills was beautiful in the morning and we were visited by deer a couple of times. The wood burning stove provided great heat and a cozy setting. The host is very pleasant and provided great communication. It was really a great stay and one of the better experiences we have had in a long time. The beds were comfortable, the house was nice and clean and warm, and it was very easy to get to. We really enjoyed this property.

We had a wonderful stay on the mountain. The aesthetic of the home was lovely, the back covered porch was a favorite hang. We loved being close to so many activities from ziplining to the pool. Lots of deer friends to watch every day!

Very Nice

Very nice house. Wish we could have stayed longer. Great location, quiet area, nice outdoor space. We were able to arrive any time during check in day as the house was already ready for us which was a nice surprise. The hot tub was fun and in a neat location of the house.

Cozy Mountain Retreat

We loved our stay at the Hopkins House. The property is exactly as described, really "cute" decorations and well stocked with basic supplies as well as some extras. Large patio area with grill and firepit to keep warm, hot tub. etc. Plenty of room for our gathering of 6, but the family kept remarking how "cozy" it all felt - a real home away from home. Our host, Leah was absolutely remarkable. Very close communication throughout - including letting us know the day before that the house was available for early arrival if we so desired. 5 minutes away from all resort activites, the location is perfect. All in all a really nice experience for our family.

Nice House with a Terrific Host!

We had a great week at the Hopkins House with our friends. Loved the hot tub and the outside deck with firepit. Leah is one of the best hosts I've encountered... super responsive! The house had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The only downsides for us were there is very little counter space in the en suite bath for toiletries and some of the lighting is rather dim. As a first time visitor to the Massanutten Resort, it was EXCELLENT, and the house is in a great, easy to get to location.
