Maple Highlands: Under 1 Mile to Lift! Mountaintop Estate with 2 Scenic Decks

The property was really nice. Not a walking distance to the ski lift but close enough. It was perfect for our four families getaway. Will definitely recommend it and or stay here again.

Never heard from host

We had a wonderful stay. Everything was clean. Would definitely stay here again.

House outdated; not well maintained; 3 of 4 TV’s did not work; gas fireplace in main living room did not work; kitchen not well equipped; microwave door broken; king bed extremely uncomfortable; walls need painting; only two blankets for a house that supposedly sleeps 12. And more. Sent 3 emails to host with summary of deficiencies.Positive note…the maintenance staff, Joel and Gage, were responsive and helped where they could. Would not recommend this property given its current condition. Stayed there 3 nights over Thanksgiving 2025.

Nice place, cleanliness is always a plus for me since I own a cleaning business. Some updates would benefit.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay and I would recommend it for up to 4 couples but I just want to give our opinion of a few things that potential renters might want to know. David was available to talk to so feel fine to communicate with him. The house was clean and furnishings nice. Very large living areas and 4 bedrooms of good size with a bathroom in each. It could use updating with fresh paint and kitchen sink/counters and a few of the TV’s which were the old tube type could be updated. Driveway is steep and parking limited. I would rent again.

The house was beautiful but one of the beds the mattress needs to be replaced. Along with the blinds in that room and the closet door needs to be repaired. Only 2 bedrooms has tvs and they are the old tvs and we could not get them to come on. The bushes in the front needs to be cut. Other than that we had a great time

We stayed here with a group of 8 for golf and played both courses at Massanutten. We loved the open dining area for meals and there was plenty of room for cooking in the large kitchen. This is an older house that needs some upgrades but comfortable.

The house was nice and spacious for our group. Front landscaping is needed.

The house in its prime was most likely lovely. Its size works well for a large party of 6 adults 5 kids. Being a rental I didn’t expect posh but was disappointed with ripped sofa cushions, major marks on walls & dining table. Cookwear has seen better days and some mouse droppings seen in utensil drawer near refrigerator. We were shorted one towel and chose to buy one at Walmart when grabbing food. The owner once notified did say he would ask cleaning company to drop a few extra off but that never happened. One of my biggest concerns was having a two year old with black feet due to the dirty rugs in the main living area. The rugs were actually a good quality but haven’t been cleaned it appears. Beds were okay but only one pillow per person supplied. It would be better if two were mad ex available. Host is very responsive, location is great.

good

Great experience all around for my siblings and kids to meet up for our annual trip! Tons to do in the area, house was great!

Great house

We enjoyed our stay in this house. It was a great time with family & friends.

Great place. Clean and close to everything

The landlord was very helpful. The location and view was awesome! We loved the big dinning table chairs very comfortable and it was the place to hang, talk and play games. Upstairs was very nice. Except for the mouse droppings in the silver wear drawer and under the kitchen sink. The fireplace was very cozy upstairs, the one downstairs smelled of gas, we did not leave that one burning. the carbon detector did not work. The downstairs needs some updating with furniture and decor. The pull out sofa was very small, didn't look that way in the pictures. That was not clean at all, you can tell it hadn't been used in a long time and it also had mouse dropping all over it, needed a deep cleaning. We could tell there was a mouse issue and they were trying to handle it with mouse detectors in outlets. All in all, we had a very nice time. Suggestion, get a better cleaning person. Pay attention to the little things that could make the house so much more attractive and get you 5 stars.

Lots of room to host a family gathering. Beautiful scenic area.

Overall great weekend trip for my group that are JMU alumni! Only complaints would be that we were given 4 rolls of toilet paper the entire weekend. No complimentary toiletries (if we had been aware ahead of time, then no complaints). One of the grills was really dirty. Coffee pot was leaking so we had to go through several pots of coffee to get enough for our group. Limited dishware set. If the house sleeps 12, I would expect there to be a complete (doesn't need to be a matching) set of dishware for everyone. Views were amazing to catch the sunrise or sunset! Not far from JMU, about 30 min drive and all 12 of us were able to sleep comfortably! Huge plus was that all 4 bathrooms were full baths. Neighborhood was quiet and felt safe.

We absolutely loved the layout of the house. It is very outdated furnishing consisting of box TV’s (we couldn’t get the one in the master to work…but bring DVD’s cuz it had a DVD/VHS player). If the bedrooms had a tv, they were very small and old. Luckily, the living room tv was modern. All 4 kids actually opted to sleep in the living room due to the lack of entertainment. Walls, sink, and countertop are stained. There were layers of dust on many shelves and vents. Bring your own toilet paper cuz the very little that was there was of the lowest quality. Much of the cookware is old and weathered. One of the large pans is unusable due to it not sitting flat on the burner. We always cook in when we go somewhere so a well stocked kitchen is a must. They did have nice blackstone grill equipment. The decks are slightly sketchy and honestly need to be redone, but the views were beautiful and we saw so much wildlife. We only stayed two nights so when the fireplace wouldn’t turn on we didn’t have the energy to call maintenance and obviously it wasn’t a need. The futon downstairs is broken which I saw in a review in 2023 so it just doesn’t seem like the owners or cleaners take a whole lot of care with the property? A closet in a bedroom upstairs had more dust than I have ever seen and actual trash thrown in there. Definitely not worth the money we spent on the house, but we still had a great time spending quality time with each other and enjoying the resort.

Good
