Located in Massanutten, Virginia, Blackcrest Retreat was designed around one idea: your mountain getaway should be part of the adventure.
Across 7 Crest-themed bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, multiple gathering spaces, expansive decks, wellness amenities, indoor and outdoor entertainment, and experiences created just for this home, every level gives your group something new to discover.
Throughout the home, scan custom QR codes to unlock stories and books connected to the spaces around you. Keep an eye out for Crestor, our snowy owl who watches over Blackcrest. Don't worry—he isn't real. He's just part of the magic for the kids.
And speaking of kids, there's an entire adventure waiting for them: a scavenger hunt, hidden treasure, a secret Knights Closet, games galore, a kids nook, golf-ball painting and surprises throughout the house.
Now let us show you around.

You'll find:
Fully stocked kitchen
Dedicated coffee station
Peninsula island with seating for 3
Dining table for 12+
Additional sofa-table seating for 2–3
And just outside is one of our favorite parts of Blackcrest—the expansive upper deck.
Gather the entire crew around covered outdoor dining for 18+ beneath the pergola, settle into the large outdoor sectional, turn on the outdoor TV, or end the evening around the deck firepit.
This level is also home to three of our seven bedrooms.

Knights Crest was created with our youngest guests in mind, with room to sleep, play and imagine.
And nearby, tucked beneath the stairs, is something they won't find in an ordinary vacation rental:
The hidden Knights Closet.
We'll let them discover the rest.
CREST WELLNESS
Not every vacation needs to be go, go, go.
Crest Wellness is our dedicated space for stretching, movement, yoga, relaxing and resetting between mountain adventures.
There's also a sleeper chaise here for additional sleeping flexibility.
MID-LEVEL COFFEE + TEA STATION
Because nobody should have to go upstairs before their first cup of coffee.
This level has its own coffee and tea station with a mini fridge, making mornings—and late-night drinks—a little easier.
MID-LEVEL BATH + LAUNDRY
You'll also find another full bathroom connected to the laundry area, bringing Blackcrest to a total of 5 full bathrooms.
MID-LEVEL DECK — YOUR WELLNESS ESCAPE
Step outside and slow everything down.
Hot tub
Sauna
Pub table + chairs
Mountain air
Start the morning with coffee outside, unwind in the sauna, soak after a day on the mountain, or slip into the hot tub after the kids finally go to bed.
LOWER LEVEL — CREST CLUB
Welcome to the level where "one more game" turns into three more hours.
Crest Club was designed to give the whole group somewhere to hang out without ever needing to leave the house.
You'll find:
Large sectional
75-inch TV
Bar
Pool table
Ping-pong
Card + game space
Popcorn machine
Games galore
Kids nook
Multi-sport simulator
And yes, we said MULTI-SPORT.
The indoor simulator offers multiple sports—but it is not a golf simulator.
Golfers, don't worry. We didn't forget about you.
COVERED LOWER DECK — GOLF + OUTDOOR FUN
Step outside Crest Club onto the covered lower deck and you'll find something a little different.
Hit golf balls all day into the dedicated hitting net, then challenge the family to a round on your own mini-golf course.
For the kids, we've even included a golf-ball painting station so they can create their own masterpiece.
You'll also find two hanging chairs and an outdoor TV for another place to kick back.
MOVIE NIGHT — BLACKCREST STYLE
Not using the simulator for sports?
Turn the space into movie night.
Blow up our provided lounge chairs and settle in for a movie on the big screen, or move the loungers out toward the covered deck and outdoor TV for your own outdoor movie night.
Some of the lounge seating can also provide additional flexible sleeping space when needed.
THE BACKYARD
Follow the stairs from the deck and you'll find yet another gathering spot tucked into the backyard.
A second firepit gives everyone a place to gather beneath the mountain sky, tell stories and roast s'mores.
And yes—we provide the s'mores.
THE BLACKCREST LEGACY
This is the heart behind the house.
Blackcrest was designed around LEGACY—the stories we create, the adventures we remember, and the people we share them with.
When you arrive, a Blackcrest crest will be waiting for your family.
Decorate it.
Add your personality.
Leave your mark.
Then leave it behind to become part of Blackcrest Retreat.
Over time, the home will fill with crests created by the families and friends who have stayed here—each one representing another trip, another memory and another piece of the Blackcrest story.
You'll also find custom QR codes throughout the property. Scan them to unlock Blackcrest stories and books connected to the spaces around you.
And you'll probably start noticing Crestor.
Crestor is our snowy owl and the guardian of the Blackcrest story. He's not real, but don't tell the kids we said that.
He watches over the home and helps lead our youngest guests into their own Blackcrest adventure.
FOR THE KIDS
Blackcrest was designed so the kids aren't simply tagging along on the adults' vacation.
This is their vacation, too.
Follow the Blackcrest scavenger hunt.
Search for clues.
Find the hidden Knights Closet.
Discover hidden treasure.
Decorate your family's crest.
Paint golf balls.
Explore the kids nook.
Play games throughout the house.
Claim Knights Crest as your headquarters.
Rainy day?
They might not even notice.
TRAVELING WITH LITTLE ONES?
We know how much stuff comes with tiny humans, so we've tried to save you some trunk space.
You'll find:
Crib
Pack 'n Play
High chair
Baby monitor
Sound machine
Baby gates
And because somebody always forgets something, we've created a Forgot Something Station stocked with toiletries and essentials you may need during your stay.
