    We had a great time staying at The Dog House. The house was great for our extended family and our kids, as a nice base for visiting Shenandoah NP and the surrounding area. It was comfortable and inviting. The kids were especially excited about the bunkbeds and painted mural. The games and puzzles were good for evening wind-down time. The welcome book helped us narrow down some non-national park options for hiking and activities. The kids loved all the stairs in the house, but someone with mobility issues would find them challenging. Overall, we would recommend this place and consider staying again.

    This was a lovely place to spend a week in Massanutten. We were a multi-family group and the size of place was perfect - not too big or too small. Everything we needed was in the house already, or close by. Very comfortable and relaxing.

    This house was perfect for our family of 8! The property manager was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. We especially liked the dog themed rooms, hence it being called the Dog House. The advertisement was not kidding about the steep driveway though, and lots of stairs to climb. But we would definitely rent it again.

    We would stay here again. The driveway was a challenge as others have mentioned, but we were thankful for a backup cam to get out! The house was clean and comfortable. We were disappointed to find the oven was very dirty and covered with burnt food on foil from the previous guest. We turned to the gas grill, and it was equally grungy. We made do and bought/cooked in foil on the outdoor grill. There were no grilling utensils or brushes to clean the grill ourselves. This home is comfortable for adults but can be a challenge if you have anyone with mobility issues, or really young children. The upper porch railings are a safety issue, but fine if you are aware and monitor the littles. Overall a lovely house and comfortable stay.
