Leah was an exceptional host. We really liked the home's layout and furnishings. The beds and pillows were very good.

We took a family vacation to visit Massanutten resort, Virginia safari drive through and luray caverns. Every activity was an easy drive from the house. The house was clean, comfortable and located in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed having the space and the hot tub . We had a great vacation.

Bear den had a great location, close to recreation and restaurants. The house was clean, fully stocked and felt like home. I'd recommend bear den to friends, family.

We really enjoyed this home. About 30 minutes away from Shenendoah National Park which is where we spent most of our time. We didn't take advantage of the local resort but we enjoyed some of the local wineries and some hikes in the NP. Coming from the dry Southwest, it was lovely just to see all the green lawns, trees, and small towns.
The house itself was spacious for three adult couples. Open floorplan made it easy to prepare food and snacks in the kitchen while enjoying each other's company. We BBQ'd one night and enjoyed the spa each evening (one of the main reasons we booked this home). The bedding was comfortable and the house was stocked with everything we needed.
Nothing negative to say but I could see the driveway being a challenge in the winter (steep) and not much insulation so it was easy to hear others walking around, etc.
I would definitely return and/or recommend to others.

We recently stayed at this beautiful property. It has everything that you need just bring your clothes and enjoy the day the host Leah was amazing and she responded so quickly to any questions that I had. I would definitely recommend staying here anytime you visit Massanutten.

When originally booking, I was skeptical about the 10/10 ratings. Upon entering I knew exactly why this house was rated a perfect 10. Instructions were clear, the labeling of the lights were perfect, and it was very clean. Felt like home away from home. This is the only place I will stay when visiting the area. Will book again.
5.0
The property was clean and well-appointed. It had lots of space for our family of four to spread out. The hot tub was wonderful, and the convenience of being just a few minutes from the waterpark and ski slopes was amazing. The hosts were gracious with early checkin and late checkout, which was an added bonus. We would definitely return to the property!
5.0
Stayed here for a few days of skiing at Massanutten - while the snow was somewhat lacking, the Bear Den was awesome. Plenty of room for games, hot tubbing, gathering. Would definitely come back.
5.0
We enjoyed our time at this home. Very spacious for our family, we especially enjoyed the back sunroom. It was close to all the Massanutten activities which allowed us to minimize driving time.

Stayed a few days in the Massanutten area to enjoy fall activities in Virginia. This home was centrally located to the places we wanted to explore. It more than met our needs, as it felt very homey, comfortable, and quiet. The jacuzzi felt good on sore muscles after biking and hiking, and the amenities of the home were just fine. I would definitely stay here again when I next come back to this area.

This home was everything I didn’t know I needed! One floor living was amazing - I always give my parents the main floor bedroom, but it was nice we could all be on one level together. There was plenty of room to spread out during our stay! The kids begged for showers (as if that ever happens) so they could get in the hot tub! They’re the cleanest they’ve been in years! ;) Everything was lovely and Leah couldn’t have been more accommodating. Very grateful for Leah and her home as they provided a weekend of memories to last a lifetime!

The house was exactly what we needed. It was perfectly clean and the manager is very easy to communicate with. We especially loved the outdoor grill and hot tub which was very well maintained. 10/10

We stayed at this property for parents weekend at JMU. We enjoyed this property so much. The place was clean and cozy. It was very convenient to JMU. Leah was a great host and was very responsive to any texts. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful location with lots to do in the area.
House was very comfortable.
Really enjoyed relaxing on the back deck drinking coffee nestled in the trees.

Very nice house - great layout. Room for all of us to have our own space after day hiking but a cozy living room to hang together, too!
5.0
Everything was t our liking. The sunroom was great to sit out there. We each had our own bedroom. If we go back to Massanutten the first place I am going to look up again is this place. Thank you Leah for a wonderful vacation

Property was well maintained. Owner responded quickly to questions and very pleasant to work with. I would stay at this property again

we were in a Massanutten for a family reunion and one of our group uses a wheelchair. There was just a single step at the front door to navigate and a couple steps down to the hot tub so it was a great gift to have that level of accessibility in the house. it was clean, spacious, attractive, and well located. We really enjoyed it and will back if we are in the area. I would not count on someone using the sleeper sofa if you were there for more than a couple of nights.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Bear Den. We booked the place to be close to Shenandoah National Park, and it was perfect for all of our needs. The place was super clean, beautifully furnished, and so peaceful. We were so excited to find such a beautiful, convenient spot that allowed our pups to be with us as well. Leah is a fantastic host- available every time I reached out. It was a lovey stay in a lovely place. Thank you so much, Leah! We hope to be back soon!

My family and I spent 4 nights at Bear Den over the Memorial Day weekend. The house was just as described and was spotless; it was larger and nicer in person! The deck was fantastic - beautiful view of the woods and we all enjoyed the hot tub, fire pit table and using the grill for our meals. The Resort offered much to do; we enjoyed the waterpark, chairlift rides, go karts, bumper cars, playgrounds, the overlook views, and shopping and dining.
We would definitely stay here again when we return!

My family and two children (ages 14 and 10) had a wonderful stay at the Bear Den last week during their school break. The home is beautiful, has all the amenities we could have hoped for, it was impeccably cleaned, communication with the host was incredibly fast and helpful. The location is excellent, both within Massnutten and to Shenandoah National Park. We enjoyed hiking during the day, and spent afternoons utilizing the resort amenities and activities or relaxingon the deck that was an excellent feature. We particularly appreciated that the home was pet friendly, that the back deck had multiple gates, the hot tub for relaxing at the end of the day, and that the home was exactly as described and shown in pictures. The host was even able to accommodate us for two more nights after we checked out and had an issue later on in our trip. We returned because we had such a great experience.

We stayed at the Bear Den over my children’s spring break. It was the perfect location to the water park, resort parks, and a still restful retreat for hikes, relaxing on the deck, and comforts of home. We had excellent communication with the property owners and are excited to visit again!

We enjoyed a quick skiing trip while the kids had a few days off from school. We have stayed in several properties in Massanutten, but this was by far our favorite. The furniture was very comfortable, and everyone slept great after long days of skiing. We enjoyed making smores and relaxing in the hot tub.

My cousin and I have a mother/daughter weekend with our girls every fall. We decided on Massanutten this year and our stay at Bears Den was absolutely WONDERFUL. We had plenty of room, the beds were very comfortable, the hot tub was a great addition. Leah was great to work with, they have a beautiful home and the view from the florida room is very relaxing. If we decide to come back to Massanutten we will certainly book with Leah. I highly recommend Bears Den.

We stayed for 2 nights at The Bear Den. The property was exactly as pictured, if not better in the flesh. The entire property was immaculately clean. Equipped with everything you could possibly need, including items often overlooked in other rentals. In addition, the property was stocked with a number of toiletries and household items such as paper towels/toilet rolls/shampoo etc. Plenty of towels and linens. For us, the most spectacular part of the property was the deck and hot tub. The view out to the woods from the deck is spectacular, and the hot tub at dusk after the most fantastic day of hiking (in an area of serene beauty) was invigorating. We would most definitely return and do not hesitate to recommend this property. Host was attentive and although communication was little (as everything was perfect!), she appeared warm and accommodating and I trust had we needed anything it would have been her top priority. Thank you for a wonderful stay, if only it could have been longer. The Brown family.

I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.
