Cool House in the Mountains!
Beautiful home nestled in a wooded neighborhood. Very clean, plenty of kitchenware, lots of porches. We were kind of in and out a lot and it would have been nice to just sit and enjoy it a bit more. Maybe next time!

All of our expectations were met or exceeded by this home. It was clean, comfortable, and in a beautiful area. The property owner was quick to respond to messages. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and dishes. We saw a lot of deer while driving in/out of the resort area.

Nice place and convenient for the resort
Great place to stay. Only complaint was that the one futon downstairs was missing, found it in the garage but it was dirty. Not a big issue as one of our party had an air mattress to use. Other than that the place was very nice and clean. Nice location and convenient for access to the resort.

Location location
Clean and great location to the slopes and snow tubing. It took a while for the cabin to warm up. Thermostat is controlled by outside source/owner. We agreed to early check in and I believe communication was lost so heating the cabin was delayed. However once the cabin was warmed up it stayed warm and cozy! Beautiful cabin.

Awesome log cabin
Long weekend visit by 2 families with young boys. Loved this beautiful, spacious, and clean log-cabin-style house in a quiet, scenic, and super convenient spot. Had a lot of fun using the pool table. Under 3-minute drive to skiiing and under 10-minute drive to water park. Watch out, the driveway is steep like others in the neighborhood - scraped our car going up the first time. Sticklers in my group pointed out some dust up high on tops of beams, but I had to squint to see it. Beds for 6 people. Beyond that it's futons or pull out sofa.

Spacious cabin close to ski resort
Great stay for January ski trip in clean and well equipped cabin! Nestled on the mountains, the cabin build and decor make it feel like a true mountain getaway. Our party consisted of two moms and three 14-15 year old boys. The pool room was great and allowed the boys separation from us as well as entertainment. The main floor was spacious and open and there was plenty of room for everyone. There had been 4-5"of snow several days before our arrival. Great for skiing but not for getting up the driveway. Please note the driveway is steep! It was not shown in the listing pictures or mentioned in reviews. I had ruled out other properties based on driveways alone, since I booked close enough to our trip date to know snow was a possibility.It been salted and somewhat cleared however, there was some snow/ice at the base of the driveway that prevented either of our cars from getting up during our 3 night stay(temps in the 20s all week). We parallel parked at the bottom of the driveway and unpacked from there.I ended up blowing out my knee(ACL tear) on the slopes and the driveway was daunting for the rest of the stay, obviously not the homeowners fault. The cabin is in a great location and takes maybe 2 minutes to drive to the resort. I was hoping the boys could walk to ski but I only saw small lockers at the resort so we couldn't leave skis and snowboards there.Highly recommend Mostly Porch if a steep driveway is not an issue for you. Lori was responsive and easy to work with.

Mini Family Christmas Vacation
Overall, this is a lovely house to stay in at Masssanutten Resort. The location is excellent as is the floor plan of the house. The wood indoors is beautiful. Great place for a family getaway with a spacious kitchen and den. The pool room is lots of fun. I would recommend the owner upgrade the kitchen with a knife set, dishwashing soap, new potholders, and some tupperware. The only real disadvantage was the cleaning crew was not good prior to our visit. I realize this is out of the owner's control and will be speaking to management about this. I would definitely stay here again. Nice property!

Great stay !
Was an excellent property! When we arrived we were greeted by a huge buck deer and many does . They showed up daily ! Great house, no issues and great neighborhood and location. Only suggestion I have is to have the cleaners get to the ceiling fan and beams in the family room . It is very high but we noticed a lot of dust up there and didn’t want to turn ceiling fan.. it’s just a suggestion and didn’t take away from our stay at all . Very pleased and thank you, Tony

A lovely spacious house. We all enjoyed being there and had a great week’s holiday. There was plenty to do for the children in the resort. We were blessed by having brilliant warm weather, the AC kept us nice and cool in the evenings. We have put 5 stars for communication as that field had to be filled in, but we did not need to make contact (perhaps we should have as we could not find either a hairdryer or a kettle).
