Hillside Hideaway.Quiet, clean, Hot tub. hidden gem, Skyline Park & Massanutten.

A cozy and secluded cottage getaway... perfect for the smaller group or family. Hidden away in the trees, it gives you a quiet, private setting to sit outside by the fire, throw those steaks on the grill, or play yard games, or enjoy relaxing in the hot tub! Inside... brew a pot or french press of coffee and relax in the spacious living room, play games, and just enjoy the family together & get away from the TV… (a projector and wifi are supplied) Everything is sparkling clean and beds are comfy. There's a few books, games, & toys , foosball table & corn toss game for enjoying your time together. Its only 7.8 miles from the Massanutten ski resort! 5 miles from Merck & Co. So come relax and enjoy your quiet woodland setting away from the hustle an bustle, but just minutes away from the resort, skyline drive and hiking, the caverns, & university.

Wonderful Stay

Hillside Hideaway truly is a hidden gem! It was the perfect place for rest and relaxation after hiking in Shenandoah. The location is peaceful and quiet, with a beautiful back deck and hot tub for sore muscles. Inside is cozy, clean, and comfortable; a home away from home. My daughter and I loved our stay!

Perfect weekend getaway

Hillside hideaway was perfect! It’s in a great location to get into Shenandoah via the Swift Run entrance. Rhonda was an amazing host. Very attentive and responded to messages within 15 minutes. I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to disconnect and relax.

Clean and Cute

This place was a perfect spot for our family to land after our hiking and biking adventures in the Shenandoah National Park and valley area. Everyone loved it! The bunk beds are probably better fit for smaller kids, smaller than our anyway:)

Oct trip

Great little place to stay. We missed the comment about unplugging from the TV as we didnt realize that there was no TV nor Internet until we got there. Luckily there was good cell reception as i did need to take a work meeting. Once that was over, we did unplug and had a good time. The restaurant recommendations were a nice touch too.

Beautiful Getaway

This home was tucked away giving us all the privacy we needed. The home looks exactly like the pictures. We were a little disappointed about no TV or wifi but the home is packed with so many fun things to do inside and outside that we didn't miss the TV or wifi one bit. The property manager answered when we called or texted us. Can't wait to go back money well spent.

Great ski weekend getaway

This property was EXACTLY what we needed. Cozy house with two queen bedrooms and auxiliary bunkbed for two in additional laundry/game/bed room. Baseboard heat and living room electric fireplace made it perfectly warm for us all during the winter weather we had while there, skiing at Massanutten Resort up the road. Big round kitchen table and thoroughly stocked kitchen with big Britta filter to drink filtered water, pots, pans, eating and cooking utensils, all needed appliances, towels and linens. And even further, very responsive, flexible and helpful host. pin code entry couldn't be any easier. This is a fairly new listing and Rhonda is very open to suggestions and improvements that they can make to the place for nicer stays and satisfaction. Thanks so much for opening up your hillside hideaway for our nice and relaxing stay! Highly recommend!

The property was quite cozy, off the main road, and extremely peaceful. Sitting in the hot tub looking at stars was a great way to end the night. Located about 40 minutes from Lurray and a short drive to Massanutten leaves plenty of options for the whole family. The property seemed well maintained by the host and we felt welcome upon arrival. We will likely be back next year!

Peaceful Getaway

The house was immaculate upon arrival. Very surprising as it is nestled right into the woods so you would expect to be some bugs or dust/dirt from in and out of the doors. But, there was none. I loved the privacy of the location, but it was a short drive to everything. The outdoor space was really nicely set up and the hot tub is a great feature for the relaxing atmosphere we were looking for. Absolutely would recommend and will likely book again! My ONLY suggestion that would have made our perfect stay a bit better would be if there were a fenced area for the fur babies that tag along. Just so that they can safely enjoy the outdoor space with us without needing a leash.

Well maintained home- clean and comfortable beds. Host was wonderful and helpful when needed. Worked great for us as a home base for JMU parents' weekend. Only cons for some people may be that it is on a gravel road and there is no TV.

Cute, comfy little spot , but with no TV

The house was quaint and comfortable. The rooms were a nice size and it had a great kitchen. The outside area was cute too, but the grill definitely needed a good cleaning & the hot tub seemed like it needed an upgrade for a 10/10 listed property. It was a good central location to lots of things in the Shenandoah area. The lack of TV was a bit odd—I didn’t even notice it in the pictures because there was a cabinet, which I assumed housed a TV. It was my fault, but still…We booked during the Olympics and really missed being able to enjoy/watch those during our down time. It was a great place to bring a dog and a family, though, if you are looking to get away from it all.

30th Birthday getaway

We had a wonderful time celebrating my 30th birthday here. Upon arrival we instantly noted the cleanliness of the property! The fresh coffee beans were a huge plus and the s’mores gift basket was wonderful. The location was perfect as everything we wanted/needed was within 30min. Property owner was very communicative and check in and out was a breeze. All said and done it was a perfect vacation. PS. The mountaintop ranch sunset horseback ride is an absolutely amazing experience

Loved our stay!

I really appreciate the host working with me on dates and times of arrival. It made our stay so much more smooth. The house was so cute and nice and clean. We loved the smores package the host left for us. The hot tub was a hit as well. It was very close to all the Massenutten resort activities, which made it so convenient. I would love to come back in the future!
