Winter activities include skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing and ice skating. Summer activities include tubing, mountain biking, tennis courts, go karts, bumper cars, zip lines and climbing wall.

★ Smart Keypad Deadbolt: One day prior to check in, guests will receive a unique code to the front door which activates at check in and deactivates at check out. Guests have access to the entire home except for one owner's closet (inside the downstairs ensuite bathroom).

★ Driving Access: All streets to the house are paved and the gravel driveway is short. The home is in the lower hills of Massanutten Mountain with some steep roadways. If snow or ice is in the forecast, consider bringing a vehicle with AWD and/or winter tires. The home is conveniently located a short drive from Massanutten Resort amenities and more!

★ Parking: There is parking available for up to three vehicles: two next to each other in the gravel driveway and one on the gravel shoulder. Though we do have a motion-activated floodlight, the driveway can be difficult to see at night or during/after weather events, so please pull in and out of the driveway carefully and watch out for the utility boxes! The HOA requires that all four tires remain off of the asphalt pavement in the cul de sac. There is a sloped walkway approximately 50 feet long from the parking area to the front porch. Overflow parking is available at Hopkins Park - the first left-turn after entering at the Massanutten gate.

★ Wildlife & Neighborhood: Our home is in the woods and so it is surrounded by a variety of wildlife including a possible bear or two. With this in mind, guests must not leave food outside to prevent pests. Please clean the grill after use and do not leave any food outside which will attract wildlife. While we do have regular pest control, being in the woods means bugs still get inside on occasion. We provide a broom and dustpan, as sweeping up can help deter bugs. Massanutten is a growing resort, with demand for more rental homes and full-time residences, so there may be some new-home construction in the neighborhood during your stay.

★ Cell Service: There is typically reliable cell service at the home and in the Massanutten resort area. Depending on how you travel to our home, you may lose cell service on your way or during some of your adventures in the surrounding areas. The home is equipped with high-speed wifi.

★ Trash: Due to bear risk, we do not have outdoor trash cans. Our cleaners take the trash after each guest; however, guests staying longer than 2-3 days should drop off excess trash at community dumpsters during their stay.

★ Community Rules: Per our homeowners association, we are required to post the following rules publicly on our listing. Quiet Hours 10 PM - 7 AM. Keep noise indoors during these hours. No excessive noise at any time. Keep all tires off the road. Don't block fire hydrants or park in front of another property, Park only in designated areas or overflow parking at Hopkins Park.
