This place is absolutely beautiful. Perfect location in Massachusetts for view and peace. Excellent amenities and filly loaded home for anyone looking for a get away. I would definitely recommend. Owner was very responsive and accommodating!!
Great property and immaculate. Efficient communication with owner made things easy. Fantastic downstairs area for kids and gorgeous upstairs for adults. Kitchen is stocked better than our own home.
Great home and beautiful location. We took advantage of the activities in the resort, including the indoor water park and miniature golf. The house was very comfortable for our group - the four kids stayed downstairs and two couples in the upstairs bedrooms. Would definitely choose this property again!
This house was EVERYTHING the other reviews mentioned and more! Don’t hesitate to book this property. It could not have been more clean, it felt brand new. We hope to return again in the future.
This is the third time our family has stayed at The Aviary. We love everything about this house. The location is great. Check-in and check-out are simple. The accommodation is immaculate and there is so much to do around Massanutten. We’ll definitely be back to this house in the future.

Great House
Great house! 1st time visiting Massanutten and we picked a winner. The house was in great shape and the adults particularly enjoyed the decks. The kids enjoyed the games in the basement.
We had such a wonderful stay at this mountain home. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked-everything you could possibly need to cook and gather around meals together. There were cozy spaces throughout the house to read, relax, and truly unwind.The kids (grandkids) absolutely loved the gaming closet, which had every game imaginable and kept them happily entertained. Sleeping accommodations were perfect for our family, with everything from king beds to double beds and bunk beds-comfortable and thoughtfully arranged. One of our favorite spots was the side porch with the outdoor fireplace. Sitting outside wrapped in blankets, sharing stories and laughter, made for such special memories. Although snow and ice cut our trip short, that one night together as a family was truly priceless.Thank you to our host for making this trip so enjoyable and welcoming. We highly recommend this property and are already looking at dates to come back again. Perfect night and memories for our family.

Perfect getaway for our large family!
The Aviary is a beautiful home that accommodates large families or multiple families! My children are older now. So we enjoyed playing pool and the many game options! The beds were comfortable and the home was spotless. We didn’t end up cooking, but the kitchen was fully stocked. We also end the screened porch and the large swing! We would definitely stay here again!
The Aviary has become our favorite place to vacation. We have stayed twice and both times the property was in immaculate condition. The home is spacious and beautiful. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials and all the pots, pans, and dishes you could need. There is also a closet full of games for all ages. The view from the balcony is so beautiful and the host, Monica, is so lovely and easy to communicate with about checkin/checkout. The resort area is also great - tons of fun things for families to do, but without the pretentious resort feel. This is truly a gem!
The house was great- pictures don’t do it justice but everything is updated and clean. Big open areas and lots of space. We had a group of 8 and everyone had their own space. Beautiful views and scenery!
The location was great. Everything was close(pools,waterpark,adventure park,rec building,general stores,bars,and restaurants). Stores and restaurants outside of the resort were pretty close too. Monica, the property manager was always very responsive and helpful. We are thinking of returning for a winter getaway next time!

Gorgeous!
This place was so beautiful, beyond our expectations! Huge deck with beautiful view towards the mountains. Private screen deck with fireplace and this must be great for winter! My wife and her sisters really love the tall vaulted ceiling. My 82/72 parents-in-law loved the place and have a wonderful time with their children and grandchildren! Our kids love the bunk beds and all kinds of games. My 10 year old son very enjoyed the PlayStation game. We enjoyed shooting pool tables all night the first night! Our young kids love the mini reading room under the stair! Our families have been blessed with great memories and wonderful experience! We’ll definitely come back to visit!

Monica's home is beautiful. The kitchen is well stocked with cutlery, dishware, appliances, and pots & pans. The large great room on the main floor was a terrific meeting place for our extended family of 7. Bedrooms are comfortable and bathrooms plentiful. Gas BBQ grill made meal prep easy keeping the kitchen area cool. Clothes washer & dryer convenient on main floor. Traveling to the resort pool and other activities was easy as well as venturing to places of interest in the area as highway access was very close by. This home is highly recommended. With just one zone air cond., the lower level got much cooler than the upper floor. We would shut the AC off at night. Each floor maintained a comfortable temperature through the night.

Such a wonderful home.
This house had everything we needed. The screened in porch was the highlight of the house. The beds were very comfortable. As a peron who cooks it was extremely well stocked. The only thing I was unaware of is not having access to the gym and pool area. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Great Stay at the Aviary
The property was very nice and close to all the activities.The kitchen was well stocked, the bedrooms were very spacious and the great room allowed everyone to gather without being cramped. The only suggestion would be to to allow use of the fireplace in Sept instead of waiting till Oct. With the temp in the mid 40s overnight, it would have been nice to use the screen porch with the fireplace.
The Aviary is beautiful! It made for great relaxation after time on the slopes. Everything was super clean and the hosts were very responsive and were great communicators. We would absolutely consider staying here again. Thanks for sharing your home!
The house was extremely well appointed beautifully decorated, including for Christmas! The Christmas tree in my granddaughter‘s bedroom was a special touch. The hostess was extremely communicative and very welcoming.
We had a great time at the Aviary! House was amazing, well equipped and really clean. Monica was detailed in providing all the information we needed, so responsive and nice to work with.
One of the best rentals for us and we've stayed in a lot. Beautiful home, very well stocked, and clean. Good communication. Large and spacious living areas. Close to many activities. We will be back.
