What Massanutten Resort amenities are available during our stay?

Massanutten Resort offers many unique amenities including the Indoor/Outdoor WaterPark, Ski & Adventure Park area, two fantastic golf courses, farm-to-table dining experiences, shopping & recreation options, along with a day spa for complete relaxation & rejuvenation.

Groceries or plan to eat out often.
A small complement of toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion, facial soap) are provided for the three (3) full bathrooms. These toiletries will typically last two (2) days depending on usage. For individual needs & extended stays bring additional toiletries.
Additional paper products for extended stays. Two rolls of paper towels & two rolls of toilet paper for each of the four (4) bathrooms are provided.
A small complement of dishwashing liquid, a sponge, detergent packs, & kitchen trash bags are also provided.
Is Mountain Escape difficult to find?
Although Mountain Escape is located within Massanutten Resort on a mountain, its location is not difficult to reach with or without GPS. We do strongly recommend that an all-wheel drive (AWD) or preferably 4 wheel drive vehicle be used for travel to Mountain Escape as the resort area has some roads, including the driveway, which have high inclines & declines as well as being somewhat narrow.
Accessibility & Stairs
The lower level comprises; Lower-Level Bedroom Suite with ensuite bathroom, Lower-Level Sleeping Nook, a Living Room, & the Game Room. Access to the lower level is without steps/stairs & the width of all doors & hallways is greater than or equal to 32 inches.
Does this home have pest control:
Mountain Escape is treated both internally & externally with pesticides every season, that said, you will still likely see all types of insects (including some that fly) & arachnids both alive & dead within the home as the home is located on a mountain & in a heavily wooded area.
