We rented Joyful Passage for three nights as we attended graduation at JMU. The house is very comfortable and is well stocked with kitchen supplies that made for a comfortable stay. The owner was very helpful and house has been well maintained. When in the area, make a trip to Hank's Smokehouse and order the ribs! Yummy!
Another Great Weekend!

We rented Joyful Passage for the second year in a row and were not disappointed. The house is perfect for our family since our two kids and there three cousins can be downstairs playing Wii while the adults can relax upstairs. It is centrally located between the ski resort and water park and offers a great layout with sizable kitchen and eating area.
Wonderful Weekend Away!

Just got back from three nights at Joyful Passage and we are ready to go back for more! House was exactly as described and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay- games, gas fireplace, well equipped kitchen, really easy access (loved not having to keep track of keys!), very convenient location just inside the Massanutten gates. We had a great time on the zipline tour and enjoyed the beautiful trip up to Skyline Drive where we took a beautiful waterfall hike. Its not often you get to see autumn leaves and snow on the ground! Easy to get to Luray Caverns, found most everything we forgot but needed in Elkton (and Ciro's- a great little Italian place). Also enjoyed a few evening hours at the Water Park! We loved the floor plan of the house, the extra space added by the downstairs family room, all the brochures and pamphlets of area attractions provided by the owners, extra blankets, full size fridge, crock pots.. they haven't missed a trick! If you're thinking of a hotel, think twice! This house is only a little bit more BUT everybody has their own room, you can do your own meals, have family movie night and watch deer in the woods from the dining room. It couldn't have been a more carefree and pleasant stay.. even the teenagers wanted to stay a little while longer getting back to nature, resting and relaxing. We can't wait to come back! The owners are great to work with and very attentive to their guests. Highly recommend.

Why We Chose Massanutten Resort

My parents and I have been coming to Massanutten Mountain since 1990. The area has grown so much since that time, but it just keeps getting better! The first time my husband spent time on the mountain he was hooked! We decided this was where we wanted to eventually retire! We bought a house on the mountain and we decided to rent it so others can fall in love with Massanutten Mountain and Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley!!
