We had another wonderful stay in Massanutten and this property didn't disappoint. We had a great time in the log house and loved the mountain views.

We had a fantastic three day stay with our four adult children and older parents. The location was great. The beds were comfortable and the three floors gave us a little room to spread out and not be on top of each other. Everything was very clean and there was a great selection of DVDs and games for all ages. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook several meals with both a regular coffee maker and a Keurig. Would definitely stay here again.

Very clean and comfortable. Nicely furnished. Three stories, including a walk-out basement Rec-Room with a pool table and a foos-ball table. Great for a large family with small children and/or teenagers. Many games (e.g., Lincoln Logs) and DVDs (e.g., Harry Potter) available. Owners (Kim & Ken) are easy to deal with.

Positives:
- It was basically clean and stocked with essentials.
- Solid Wi-Fi, which was important for virtual JMU graduation ceremony!
- It was a little tight for 11 people, but it was very cozy and "warm."
Concerns / Disappointments:
- Accidents happen, but when my daughter found a dirty pair of socks in her bed, she (understandably) freaked out. Of course, this meant she was sleeping on dirty sheets....including pillow case!
- Staying there over Mother's Day weekend meant tons of pollen.....homeowner can't control that.....but the entire (huge) porch was totally unusable, since it hadn't been cleaned and was caked in pollen.
- Lightbulbs burn out.....no big deal.....but two different lights/lamps were broken. That's ridiculous.
- Having three bathrooms was OK, but only two showers (for 11 people) wasn't a good plan. Jacuzzi tub instead of third shower is silly.
- Worn-out furniture in main living area. I don't want to feel the springs in an "overstuffed" chair!
- Thousands of Cable TV channels on the box, but only about 10 were functional. We didn't make our trip to watch TV.....but, still....you would expect much more, given the location/setting/cost.
- Especially given how "aggressive" the rental literature / agreement was ("don't do this, don't do that!!"), it was irritating that the directions to the dumpster were confusing and incorrect.
- Had to bring our own propane for the grill......really?!?
Overall, for the huge amount of money we spent for two nights, we weren't thrilled. It was FINE. We will definitely look for another property for our next visit.

This visit was the second time we stayed in this house, and it was memorable in spite of Covid and a hurricane that blew through. We love the house, and it is big enough for all family members to spread out. It is clean and well stocked. We love the porch swing, the neighborhood, and the peace and quiet. We visited Luray Caverns, ate ice cream, hiked, swam in the outdoor part of the Indoor/Outdoor Water Park, BBQed and just had an overall great time. The owners were very responsive and gave us all the information we needed to enjoy our stay.

It was just the right fit for our weekend get away. The location was beautiful and close enough to many things while still managing to feel somewhat secluded. We spent time at Shenandoah National Park which was super close. Our kids loved having daily wildlife visitors right out front.

Great house for a large group. The basement is great for kids!

Great house! Great location!
Bear's Landing is very comfortable! It was a great location for a Girl Scout troop getaway. It is convenient to the ski lodge and the go karts. The girls were able to do their GS activity and the dads played pool in the basement. There was plenty of room for sleeping, eating and hanging out.

Great place for a large group. So much to do!!
What a great house and location. Large groups will have fun, sleep well, and have an incredible time here. Location is key and there is so much to do even outside of the resort. So h
Glad we booked here!

Wonderful, cozy, beautiful mountain retreat with very caring owners.
This is a perfect vacation home in the mountains. It is clean, cozy, beautifully decorated and in a lovely mountain setting. We have some unique challenges that required us to reschedule our trip and the hosts were very understanding and accommodating.
The warm kitchen invited our large group of seven adults to gather, share stories and play games. The downstairs play room was clean and beautiful. We were blessed with beautiful fall weather and we left to do some hiking and sightseeing. But it could’ve been perfect to just sit on the front porch and rock or on the back porch and watch the wildlife and the beauty around us. We can’t say enough about how perfect this house is for a relaxing retreat.

Didn't want to leave
Super, well decorated, log cabin. Could spend the whole day rocking on the front porch, but had to eat and sleep sometime. Appliances and furnishing are very new and well appointed. Very close to resort amenities, however tucked away in a private community. Owner easy to communicate with. Can't wait to return.

Making Memories
The home was beautiful and even nicer than the pictures. We were a family of 7 adults and two small children who converged on Bear’s Landing from different places. The home was very well equipped and stocked. It was also easy to clean when we left. We had four cars that fit in the driveway, which was nice and flat. We made good use of the pool pass. We also hiked, ate ice cream, bungee jumped, played mini golf, did escape rooms, enjoyed the indoor/outdoor water park, and walked. At the rental we grilled, played pool, played games, read, and relaxed on the porch swing. There were several games already in the home. The bedrooms were spacious, the common areas were roomy, and the dining table was bigger than it looks in the picture as we were able to get everyone around it for dinner. Upstairs under the eves is a cute chikdren’s Nook, which our 4 year old discovered the first morning. The house was big enough that everyone had space; however, our favorite space was the front porch. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The owners were quick to respond to any questions I had prior to arriving. We did grocery shopping at Food Lion and Martin’s. The General Store in the resort has some food items. We ate dinner at Hank’s one night. Outstanding. All in all it was a great place, and all family members loved it. We made many wonderful memories.

Great house! Awesome view of the slopes!
We had a wonderful stay! Lots of room to spread out-basement is awesome for kids (and adults!) Awesome communication with the owner-super friendly and responsive. Minor items we noticed-walls are thin-if you have light sleepers, this could be an issue. Parking is tight, but we were able to fit 4 cars as listed. Only outside lights were on front porch-back porch and driveway had no lights.That being said, we would definitely stay here again. We really enjoyed the house!

Rustic log cabin, great space, well-maintained
Beautiful log cabin on the Massanutten resort property. Very spacious home. We had plenty of room for 2 families, 5 kids - very large bedrooms, huge game room/playroom in the basement. Enjoyed the rustic feeling of being in a log cabin in the mountains, views of the ski slopes - particularly at night all lit up. Beds were comfortable. The owners were super helpful and easy to work with. The stove wasn't working quite right when we arrived, we notified the owners and they were going to address it. Overall, great place to stay with close access/easy to the main attractions on the resort. Would not recommend the water park, very disappointed with the management of the facility. Primarily high schoolers operating and life guarding, with little regard to the actual safety of the children or cleanliness of the facility. Not worth the visit in my opinion. Take advantage of the many other activities on premises. If wanting to go tubing, make sure you make your reservation well in advance - those tickets sell out quick!

Perfect for our family Christmas!
