The stay was awesome. The online listing didn't completely justify how great this place was. The host communicated immediately from the booking through the checkin. The place was clean and had everything we needed. The kids and the big kids loved the game room. We definitely recommend this place and would stay there again when in the area. Teresa J

Great Stay!!

This was a wonderful warm cozy home that we will always try to stay at when we are visiting the area. The owner’s go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need for your vacation. Only wish we could have stayed longer!

Great Mountain House

Our family came to the area to visit Shenandoah National Park. This was a great place to stay toward the middle of the park that had beautiful drives in every direction. The house was very clean and our kids LOVED the game room!

Lovely home- very thoughtful owner and experience

We loved the Pistachio Nut! The game room was a blast for the whole family and the living room is set up for hanging out and relaxing. Mike is very kind and helpful and has really set up a lovely rental. Definitely a great place to stay while at Massanutten resort!

We had such a wonderful trip and stay at the Pistachio Nut. Michael was super helpful and welcomed us to show us around. This is better than any other rental you will find, hands down. Not just for the arcade room which will blow you away. We will definitely stay there again.

A great getaway!

This was a lovely property! We really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is a great size. The deck is a nice place to sit and take in nature, I even had a chipmunk come up to me. The place is very well kept and the owner is very friendly!

Great stay!

We had the best time at the pistachio nut. This was probably one of the cleanest properties we’ve ever stayed at. Beds were comfy, kitchen was fully stocked and the arcade was a blast. The property manager did meet us and gave us a tour before heading off. It was actually very nice and he was an extremely pleasant individual. We will definitely be back next year!

BEST VRBO Experience - Beautiful and spacious property!!

Cannot give enough stars to this property and property owner! The home is spotless, newly renovated, and very spacious. Property owner had so many thoughtful provisions throughout the home that were perfect. Easy check-in/out steps too. Such a beautiful area with so many things to see/do and only 15-20 minutes to Harrisonburg/JMU.

Perfect stay

We had a great stay at the Pistachio Nut. Mike was a helpful, welcoming host. The house well super well equipped with nice linens. We loved the game room and the size was perfect for our family of 5. Easy for trips back and forth to JMU for move in and we were also able to take advantage of some of the mountain activities. Will definitely look to stay here the next time we visit.

Relaxing weekend getaway

The Pistachio Nut was a great location for our family to get together for an event at James Madison University. The property was immaculate and comfortable and our adult kids loved the video games. This was not our first visit to Massanutten but we would definitely return. The owners were easy to communicate with and very helpful. Highly recommended.

Cozy, quiet and clean

Our stay at Pistachio Nut was fantastic! Check in was easy, the house is nice and clean. Mike made us felt welcomed. The amenities and fully equipped kitchen provided were superb! The location is great, located in Massanutten Resort but not too far from the main road. We enjoyed the arcade games with our little guy! Overall, it is a great place and I highly recommend it!

Amazing visit

First of all let me just say that the property was immaculate, inside and out! We received a warm welcome from Mike who gave us a detailed tour of the property. There was an attention to detail, right down the the condiments in the cupboards. The location was very convenient to a number of eateries and scenic spots. I would highly recommend this property if you’re looking for a clean, spacious place to stay.

Magical mountain retreat

Mike's "Pistachio Nut' was awesome. The house was very clean, and we loved the game room down stairs. It had many of the popular video games my wife and I played in the 80's. The outside gas firepit was a nice feature we enjoyed. We are already looking at our schedule for next fall to book the "Pistachio Nut" again. Thanks again Mike for your magical mountain retreat.

A true gem!

My best friend and I rented this adorable place and can’t stop talking about it! Mike the owner is a true pleasure to communicate with. He’s thought of all the little touches that make this place so special and we’re already talking about planning a return visit in 2025. It’s convenient to all things Massanutten and the game room is such a fun touch. The coolest thing about this place, beyond the renovations that blend modern amenities with original-build character, are the two deer that visit the yard multiple times a day to graze. This place is special.

Dukes Graduation

Beautiful and clean everything inside and outside seem to be newly remodeled, the location couldn't be any better for our commute to JMU for the graduation events and all others members in our group to do other activities in the immediate area. I highly recommend the Pistachio Nut if you are looking for R&R and or some Adventure. Loved it!!!!!

Wonderful property!

Loved our stay! Renovations to this property are great.lived the amazing game room. Fireplace was amazing. Owners stock this house with almost everything you need. Spices, baggies, coffee, hot chocolate and some bottled water in the fridge. Soap in both bathrooms. Towels and linens were top notch.check the linen closet across from downstairs bath for hair dryer. Bring your laundry win shampoo. Had an issue with downstairs shower but owner was on it immediately! Upstairs shower is like a European shower which isn’t great for short people who don’t want to get their hair wet but we would absolutely stay here again.

Cozy Movie Weekend Stay!!

The place was amazing and accommodated everything we were looking for! We wanted a weekend getaway to binge watch movies and play games with each other. TV was great for movie watching, the arcade was awesome and my dad able to re-live his galaga days, rooms were nice and cozy, and the fire place was very easy to use! I think my only draw back is the pillows weren’t the best, they were pretty stiff and not very comfortable. Some of us opted to use the couch pillows Michael was very nice and accommodating, also is a great conversationalist. He’s made the home very easy and simple to use. If you had any issues to questions he’s a text away and also lives right next door Overall loved the property, enjoyed our stay, and are considering making this property a yearly getaway spot

July 4th in the mountains

This was our first time staying at this property. But, we have stayed at another property this owner has multiple times. The house was very clean, well stocked, and organized. He provides all the starter items you will need. The house has smart TVs, which was nice. The upstairs master has its own AC unit. I liked that I could have my room a bit colder than my kids downstairs (they like it warmer). He also provides a pool pass in the summer. The video game machines in the basement were nice. There is also another refrigerator in the basement where the washer and dryer are. Overall, the property was exactly as pictured and described. We would stay here again!
