About this cottage rental
The Gingerbread House is a cute cottage located in a tranquil area of Massanutten Resort, a four season resort with amenities for everyone. This home-away-from-home is situated close to the playground, indoor/outdoor water park, two golf course, mini-golf, family adventure park with zip lines, on-site restaurants, skiing, snowboarding, tubing and exciting escape room! With Harrisonburg and Shenandoah National Park only 15 minutes away, you have many additional dining and entertainment opportunities to enjoy, such as natural caverns, historic sites, hiking, wineries and breweries.
Inside our home, you will find four bedrooms and two and a half baths. The main floor has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an open concept dining room, living room, kitchen, and sunroom. The master suite has a king bed, sitting area, TV, walk in closet and private bath. Bedroom 2 has 2 twin beds. Bedroom 3 has a queen bed. The kitchen has service for 12+ and is fully equipped including a toaster, coffee machine, crock pot, pots and pans, cookie trays and all the utensils that you will need. The island/breakfast bar seats four. The living room has a TV and Blu-ray player. The sunroom is perfect for early risers to drink coffee or tea, read a book and relax. It also has a TV and Blu-ray player. The upstairs has a loft with futon, bedroom with 2 twin beds, half bath and is the perfect sanctuary for children, tweens and teens. The bedroom has two twin beds and chalkboard. The loft has a futon. There is also a TV, PS4 with games and DVDs.
There is a outdoor deck in the front and back with a built in sitting area, Adirondack chairs and a grill. All 3 downstairs bedrooms have sliding glass door with access to the rear deck that looks over wooded common area. Sitting on the rear deck feels like when you were a kid in a tree house.. You will be two minutes away from all the activities. As much as we love pets, we understand that there are people that are allergic to dog and cat dander so I'm sorry but no are pets allowed.
Please note that although the house sleeps upto 12, only 8 adults can sleep comfortably (1 king, 1 queen, 4 twin beds). Other beds are best suited for children (2 sofabeds and 1 futon). The house is in a residential neighborhood and we do not allow loud parties and events. We expect our guest to keep the noise level low after 11PM. We welcome family reunions as long as the guests are respectable to the house and the neighbors.
Note: A pool pass will be provided to guests with unlimited entry at $6/person daily during their stay (and in season). This is a private home, renting does not grant access to Massanutten Resort non-public amenities. Public amenities include, but are not limited to golf, ski/snowboarding, tubing, ice skating, go-karts, zip line, mini golf, water park, etc.
Please note that bugs, mice and other critters are permanent residents of this mountain community. We do our best to keep them outdoor but is not unusual to have an unwanted guest from time to time.

Our family of 5 stayed at the Gingerbread Cottage for 3 nights to celebrate our daughter's college graduation from JMU. The location was ideal as it was not far from Harrisonburg and close to restaurants. We had fun at Cave Hill Brewery, which was close and had great meals at Thunderbird Cafe (breakfast) and Hank's (great bbq dinner). We highly recommend staying at this property and would return if in the area again.

We had a great time at the gingerbread house. The house has all the kitchen utensils you need and some welcoming extras. The cabin location is close enough to restaurants, grocery stores and wineries but far enough from the main road. You can’t go wrong with the gingerbread house.

The house overall was good. The upkeep could have been a lot better. There are a few boards on the floor that are coming up. There is a brick that is loose in the family room. In the hallway bathroom, the rack on the wall is broken(a screw is missing) It did feel like the house(inside and outside) was not professionally cleaned in awhile. We came across a few spider webs and spiders in a few corners of the house. We couldn't really enjoy the outside scenery because there were spider webs everywhere(on the grill, chairs, on the house, etc...) I know there is nothing that could be done with the inside stairs but it would have been nice to know that they were steep. We had 4 little ones with us(two 4yr olds, a 3yr and a 2yr old) the main kids room is upstairs. So we did spend a little time making sure they didn't fall coming down the stairs. The washer and dryer did not work properly. The inside of the dryer is broken and couldn't dry our clothes. Lastly, it says it was 2 pullout queen beds and a Fulton that's a queen. We only saw 1 pullout and the Fulton. If the upkeep was a lot better, it could have been a 5 star.
