    The Aviary is beautiful! It made for great relaxation after time on the slopes. Everything was super clean and the hosts were very responsive and were great communicators. We would absolutely consider staying here again. Thanks for sharing your home!

    We had such a wonderful stay at this mountain home. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked-everything you could possibly need to cook and gather around meals together. There were cozy spaces throughout the house to read, relax, and truly unwind.The kids (grandkids) absolutely loved the gaming closet, which had every game imaginable and kept them happily entertained. Sleeping accommodations were perfect for our family, with everything from king beds to double beds and bunk beds-comfortable and thoughtfully arranged. One of our favorite spots was the side porch with the outdoor fireplace. Sitting outside wrapped in blankets, sharing stories and laughter, made for such special memories. Although snow and ice cut our trip short, that one night together as a family was truly priceless.Thank you to our host for making this trip so enjoyable and welcoming. We highly recommend this property and are already looking at dates to come back again. Perfect night and memories for our family.

    The house was extremely well appointed beautifully decorated, including for Christmas! The Christmas tree in my granddaughter‘s bedroom was a special touch. The hostess was extremely communicative and very welcoming.

    Rented out the property for our family. Was good size and close to the Massanutten resort and park.Only complaints I have about the property-hot water runs out pretty quickly. We tried to shower at home and within 10 minutes the water turned lukewarm to cold. - the shower head downstairs was leaky which made the water pressure terrible - overall lacked a few amenities : didn’t have toothpaste, shampoo,, coffee (things that would have made the stay exceptional, but lacking)

    The Aviary is a beautiful home that accommodates large families or multiple families! My children are older now. So we enjoyed playing pool and the many game options! The beds were comfortable and the home was spotless. We didn’t end up cooking, but the kitchen was fully stocked. We also end the screened porch and the large swing! We would definitely stay here again!

    Great house! 1st time visiting Massanutten and we picked a winner. The house was in great shape and the adults particularly enjoyed the decks. The kids enjoyed the games in the basement.

    This place was so beautiful, beyond our expectations! Huge deck with beautiful view towards the mountains. Private screen deck with fireplace and this must be great for winter! My wife and her sisters really love the tall vaulted ceiling. My 82/72 parents-in-law loved the place and have a wonderful time with their children and grandchildren! Our kids love the bunk beds and all kinds of games. My 10 year old son very enjoyed the PlayStation game. We enjoyed shooting pool tables all night the first night! Our young kids love the mini reading room under the stair! Our families have been blessed with great memories and wonderful experience! We’ll definitely come back to visit!
