This beautiful and unusual house accommodated the 25 of us with room to spare. The kids had myriad game rooms, toys and entertainment options. We had plenty of space to be all together or find a quiet space. The kitchen is well-equipped to prepare meals for and seat everyone together. Highly recommended for a shirt or long stay

The house is as good as it looks in the photos.
Very well stocked kitchen. Many places to sit.
Very clean. Beautiful bathrooms. The kids all loved playing hide and seek. Kim the owner responded immediately to my questions. Josh, the property manager picked up the trash daily. I would rent this property again.

We were a group of 34 family members from 4 generations coming together from Cali, NC, Ga, Va, DC, Md and NY who met up for a short vacation. This house was perfect for us because there was space for everyone to be together and space for each age group to visit/play separately. We loved it and had a fabulous time.

I had 28 guests for a women’s retreat and there were still plenty of extra beds for more people. We could all gather in the dining room for meals together which was a huge plus. The kitchen is large enough for 10 people to all be cooking at once.
The furnishings in this home are very unique and quirky. Nothing matches, everything is a bit random and some furniture pieces are broken or damaged and need to be removed. It appears quite cluttered with all the furniture.
However, the space is amazing and we had a wonderful time.

This place was AMAZING!!! We had 8 families and 13 kids from age 4 to 17. Each family had their own room... with their own bathroom... and then all the kids had a place. That allowed all of us to have a space to relax if we wanted any down time. There were tons of games and things to do. We were lucky to have snow 1 day that the kids got to enjoy outside and then we had a great fire pit outside. They provided all the wood, which was perfect!! Will definitely look to stay here again for large gatherings. The host was amazing and the person that takes care of the property got trash every day and was the nicest man!! HIGHLY recommend!!

The size was perfect for our large group, especially the kitchen. The house was one of the cleanest rentals we've stayed in, which is impressive given the square footage. The fruit & cheese trays were an unexpected & thoughtful gift for new years eve. Per the recommendation of prior reviewer, we did bring a shower curtain rod to hang a fabric door for the one bathroom off of the large sleeping room to give privacy to that group, and it worked well. So much room to spread out over the weekend, that everyone had the space they needed. Overall a fantastic stay!

The house was perfect for our son’s graduation. We had 34 family members come from all over the east coast. Family did snow sports at massanutten Friday night and Saturday afternoon and those that we could not get tickets for to actually attend, the graduation, were able to watch it on the live stream at the house. It worked perfectly. It was. Wonderful weekend and the kitchen / eating area could accommodate us all. Would highly recommend for large family gatherings and only a 25 minute drive to jmu.

What a great place. Wood walls, wood ceilings, carved wood furniture, very rustic and very awesome! (I love wood in case you can't tell) We had so much fun. Great kitchen with everything you need and very high end appliances (wine cooler!, cold drawers, two sinks). We were spoiled. We had a fire outside one night, and every day the sunrises were great. The bar area over the garage hosted the Euchre games. Christmas was magical.

Every year they make this place better and better, always look forward to our stay at this oasis. And the help is amazing, if anything goes wrong they are then in minutes to help. Very grateful.

This home is absolutely beautiful and huge. We had a total of 16 and never felt crowded. The entire home is well appointed especially the kitchen. The host was wonderful and accommodating and Josh the caretaker was great. I would highly recommend this property. We had a blast.

This is our second time staying here and we loved it, once again! The house is HUGE, has everything you need! The host is incredible! She sent us a charcuterie board and snacks, we greatly appreciated that. We will be back next year for sure!!

The property was beyond expectations. It was clean, well equipped. Lots of games for all age groups. The kitchen was an amazing place to cook for a large group. Anything we needed was provided. I don't think there was one item we might have needed that wasn't available. There were so many room choices that no one could not find one to their liking. The beds were comfortable. Good water pressure and no lack of hot water for all of us. Kim answered all my questions promptly.I can not say enough about how amazing this property was to all of us. We had an age range of 2-72 and everyone enjoyed their stay. We will definately rebook when we do our next reunion.

We were a group of about 35 adults that stayed in Payton Peak for a long weekend. There was plenty of space to sleep, to eat, and to socialize. The property is really huge, with something for everyone - a grill, a hike, firepit, boardgames! For such a huge property, it’s pretty clean and well-maintained. No neighbors, so feels like a private retreat. The maintenance guy was super friendly and helpful. Everyone in our group really enjoyed the stay, and is looking to come back one day!
4.8
Maintenance man was a little confused about when we were checking in, thought it was a different day. Floors were not very clean, wiped up spots on kitchen floors, everything else seemed good. Plenty of rooms for family,
huge kitchen all able to eat together. Had everything you could want.for kitchen. Never used half of the bedrooms.
Floors was the only real thing that was dirty. kitchen floors need a really good cleaning. Will return. One suggestion, install safety hand bars in some of the bathrooms,. hard to get in and our of the deep tubs.
4.8
This home is incredible. There was plenty of space for our large family. Kim is a great host and replies immediately to any communication. Josh (maintenance man) stopped our first night to introduce himself and let us know how to get in touch with him if we had any issues. They go above and beyond to make sure your stay is best. We definitely will be going back.

We always try to find a place for our whole family to stay together and Payton’s Peak was so great we did it twice! We had 38 people of all ages and had a great time. There were enough beds for everyone and the property manager was easy to talk to and get in touch with. The handy man lives close by and was very friendly and helpful. We didn’t have quite enough spoons but when we told the property manager she was happy to know and made plans to get more. Some of the bathrooms could use a curtain or something to divide them from a large room because there wasn’t a door. We had a family member that lived close and brought and shower rod and curtain which did a pretty good job.
The property is beautiful with space enough for everyone to gather together at the same time during meals and to relax. There were also smaller spaces that were really nice for some quiet. Some favorite spots were the poker room in the loft, the game room where we worked on a puzzle, and the epic throne room where we hosted a couple of murder mystery parties lol.
We had a dance in the backyard under the hanging lights. We had smores at the campfire and sang songs at the piano. We enjoyed the ping pong table and racing game in the garage.
Nearby we went canoeing, hiking, shopping, swimming, a nearby park with many courts and a play ground for the littles, and to Luray Caverns. All were enjoyed!
Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Stayed here for our annual golf trip and it provided what we needed and so much more. Awesome house on secluded property with plenty of beds and space. Will look to stay again in the future.

This house is great for large groups. Plenty of space to sleep, congregate and have fun. I will say the downside we had and hopefully isolated incident, was the air conditioner was broke in the upper area of the house which housed approximately 10-12 people. It was stifling. I contacted the owner and she had a hvac guy come out sat am who than told us it was broke and needed to be replaced. They brought us one box fan for a room that slept 10 people, that was not sufficient, it got to 82 degrees in there. Other than that the house was perfect to celebrate our graduates. One thing to note is the owner accused us of having a party. We are not sure what her definition of a party is (I asked and no response) when the house sleeps 40 and we had 35 people stay there, they have a huge bar, fooz ball, air hockey, fire pits , poker table. It’s a great house to entertain and that is exactly what we did. We did not go over the occupancy at all. So I’m not sure how she defines party when the house is clearly intended to entertain. But it’s is a beautiful property and the property manager on site was super helpful. Oh yeah and the owner was very responsive when I notified her the keruig was broke, she immediately brought a new one to the house.

We had a wonderful family reunion at Payton's Peak! The house was large enough to hold the entire family for the weekend. Within the house there's so much to do. We gathered a lot in the kitchen area which is quite large and has everything you could possibly need to prepare meals. Both kids and adults liked the different games upstairs and down. We gathered around the fire pit, made smores, and had great visits with one another. Josh took care of our every need and a gift of goodies from Kim just sealed the deal. We plan to come back as the whole family loved the place and enjoyed the weekend.
4.8
This was our second time staying here. The home has only improved! With the lack of snow and nice weather, the adults took advantage of the two outdoor firepits while the kids explored the generous grounds. The home is well-equipped as almost everything you would reach for at home is readily available here. The Owner and Maintenance man are very responsive, friendly, and eager to please. We look forward to staying here again soon!

This house just goes on and on and on. We loved the home. It’s so big it’s easy to get lost. The driveway is very steep and our church bus was unable to get up the hill. But we made it work. We never found the hot in pictured in the VRBO posting. All in all, this is an exquisite home and we had a blast!

A group of longtime friends, our children and grandchildren REALLY enjoyed this house. Lots of space to spread out and visit/play. The beds are comfy, the kitchen is well-stocked. The hike to the mountain top is beautiful!

We love staying at Payton's Peak. This house has beautiful views, is luxurious, and plenty of space for groups to spend time together as well as have quiet time alone. We plan to come back in a few months!! Many thanks for such a lovely home stay.

This is a repeat-stay property for us and Payton's Peak didn't fail to deliver (no surprise). Wonderful property - couldn't ask for a better spot to spend some time in the mountains as the leaves turn.
4.8
Absolutely beautiful home and location!
The grounds could have been kept a little neater but overall the location of the property is amazing! Hiking to the peak is breathtaking in more ways than one LoL if you’re from flatlands but definitely worth it!! The house has a GreatWolf Loge feel, very cozy.
Host was very easy to get along with and nice to communicate with. We really appreciate the opportunity to enjoy this amazing house!

We had an amazing stay at Payton’s Peak with our wedding party! It was beautiful, comfortable, and hands-down the biggest house I’ve ever stayed in :) The views are stunning, the space is cozy, huge kitchen where we cooked all weekend. Perfect spot for big friend/family groups!

This property was everything & more than we expected! We came for a Leadership retreat with our company so we had 19 girls under one roof! There was PLENTY of space for everyone to be comfortable & the house had everything we needed which is a total plus! We actually plan on making this house our yearly retreat spot bc we loved it so much!
Kim sent us a surprise delivery of fruit & other sweets, which was beyond our expectations & so nice!
Highly recommend this property!!

Lovely house and beautiful views. Not exactly walking distance to much but if you are looking for a mountain retreat with Tina of multi-generational space, this home is for you.
4.8
This property is optimal for a large group and it's our third time staying there. The options for bedrooms suit most people and their preferences and there are plenty of bathrooms, group areas and places to eat, drink and play games. The upstairs bar and game room are fantastic for our purposes. The mountain is lovely, and the exterior spaces are perfect for the breeze and views.
Improvements to the interior and exterior have made it even better, but there remain several lingering issues that we've shared with the owner. They are responsive to issues in the moment however, we prefer a minimum of contact during our event. Food prep and storage, as well as trash and recycling for large groups are challenging with the current set up.
4.8
This is the perfect place in Massanutten! The house has so much room, all amenities needed, and the perfect location! We used as a homebase for our wedding and it was our favorite part of the whole weekend. All linens provided, multiple fridges, beds everywhere, and a ton of gathering space. Bring games for the big yard too! The host was incredible. Would recommend to all!

A perfect place for a large and diverse family to gather. Fun games and gathering area..beautiful scenery. Excellent host.

Host monitored our activity via cameras on the premises not disclosed in the listing then made ill-informed accusations as an attempt to leverage more money for service animals.
Host forgot to provide check-in information or door code until we arrived and had to email then wait for a response.
There was an objective difference between the photographs and description provided on Vrbo with what we were presented. The espresso machine missing, inoperable vanity due to a covered sink, broken toilet, stove not working, all locks on outside doors broken off except for the front door, absolutely filthy kitchen and pantry are only some of the issues we discovered.

Very Nice large home for our family and children.
This house is a large property. It was appropriate for our extended family with 8 children. The children loved the space. Each family unit was happy to have a bedroom and private bathroom. There were separate lounge areas. Just a note the sofa next to the bar needs replacement or repairs. The house had a well equipped kitchen and there were plenty of towels. Please remember to bring your own toiletries..We would recommend this home for a large family.
