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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

Peaceful Stay
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Pistachio Nut Home, and it was an unforgettable experience! Nestled in the perfect location for easy access to Massanutten Resort, this charming home exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The decor is tasteful and cozy, making it feel like a true home away from home. The attention to detail in every room showed how much care the hosts put into ensuring their guests have a comfortable stay. The living spaces were immaculate, and the amenities provided were top-notch. We especially loved the fully equipped kitchen, which allowed us to prepare our meals with ease. The bedroom was a peaceful retreat, with a comfortable bed that provided us with restful nights. One of the highlights of our stay was the stunning views from the property. Whether we were enjoying a morning coffee on the patio or unwinding in the evening, the picturesque surroundings were a constant delight. The proximity to Massanutten Resort was incredibly convenient, allowing us to easily enjoy all the activities and attractions the area has to offer. Our hosts were exceptionally friendly and responsive, always ready to assist with any questions or needs we had. Their hospitality truly made our stay special and memorable. In conclusion, Pistachio Nut Home is a gem of a place to stay if you're visiting the Massanutten area. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect blend

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!!!!!
