Kinstay Top-Rated Family Cabin: 2 Living Areas, Views & Game Room + EV Charger

KINSTAY MASSANUTTEN: THE SPACE

DESIGNED BY TRAVELERS, FOR FAMILIES
We travel often with our own young kids, so we built our "dream stay" with all the details usually missing from rentals. From a fully-stocked kitchen to separate levels for kids and adults, we’ve handled the "little things" so you can just show up and relax!

THE LAYOUT AND VIEWS
Perched on the mountainside and backing up to the George Washington National Forest, you’ll wake up to sunrises over the peaks.

UPPER LEVEL: Open living area with a cozy fireplace and our signature "hyggekrog" (reading nook). Includes the Master King Suite, a Queen bedroom, and a Twin room.

LOWER LEVEL: The "Fun Zone"! A second living room with a game area featuring a 9-foot shuffleboard and two arcade machines. Includes a Queen bedroom and a playroom with a Double sofa bed.

KID-FRIENDLY AND STRESS-FREE
Stop over-packing! We provide the essentials so you don’t have to:
High chair and Pack n Play
Step stools and kid dishes/cups
Playroom stocked with toys, books, and games
Full-size washer/dryer for your convenience

CHEF’S KITCHEN AND COFFEE
Cook for the whole crew with ease!
Large dining table seats 10.
STARTER KIT: We do our best to stock cookware, oils, and a variety of spices.
COFFEE BAR: Cuisinart drip, K-Cup machine, French Press, and an electric grinder for your own beans.

WORK AND PLAY
FAST WIFI: Ultra-fast Eero Mesh (171+ Mbps)—perfect for remote work on the deck!
STREAMING: 65-inch 4K Smart TVs in both living areas with streaming services included.
OUTDOORS: Two spacious decks with Adirondack chairs to soak in the mountain air.

PARKING AND EV CHARGING
LEVEL 2 EV CHARGER INCLUDED!
The home is on a hill with a steep, narrow driveway—it’s the secret to our incredible views! You can drive right to the front door for easy unloading. (4WD/AWD highly recommended in winter).

RESORT AMENITIES
WATERPARK: The Massanutten Waterpark is undergoing a massive renovation in 2026 to add new slides and family fun!
ADVENTURE CENTER: Just a 3-minute drive for skiing, tubing, and mini-golf.
POOLS: There are several indoor and outdoor pools in the resort area available for your use.

Policies/House Rules:
-Early check-ins and late check-outs may be available and do incur a small fee.

Nice long weekend stay

This house worked perfect for a long weekend to spend on the slopes. Although one video machine wasn't working our youngest in the party enjoyed the street fighter video game and the shuffle board table was a hit for our family in the evenings. Beds were comfortable and overall well stocked kitchen. Only thing we felt we missed was steak knives for our group.

We had a great stay at KinStay! From the seamless check-in and checkout process to Matt's prompt and attentive communication, every aspect of our experience was stress-free. The property itself was well-equipped to cater to all our needs, making it a perfect fit for our family. The kid-friendly features and playroom were an added bonus. We highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a hassle-free and enjoyable stay.

The house has a great layout for a family stay. The host was very responsive. We enjoyed eating meals on the deck with the beautiful view. The kitchen wad stocked with a good variety of cooking implements, allowing us to make nice meals in. It was in a great spot near the water park. The shuffleboard was an unexpected hit with the kids.

Tranquil mountain home getaway

Spent the weekend at this perfect home up in the mountains with my family. It was just the recharge we all needed. Very clean and just as pictured. The trash can situation is less than desirable, but I get it, we’re on a mountain.

A lovely retreat

Our two families had plenty of room to spread out and relax between our day trips into Shenandoah National Park. The kitchen and grill were great for many large meals. There were plenty of dishes and flatware for a large group. The beds were some of the most comfortable I’ve had in a short term rental. The decks were great, both for morning coffee and a beverage at the end of the day. We had one question about the property and Matt was great about responding quickly with exactly the information we needed. I would recommend staying here if in the area.

Great vacation rental

The whole process was smooth and convenient! The house is beautiful and accommodated the 6 adults staying there with ease. The house was clean and fully stocked with kitchenware. I was really impressed that the kitchen even had a crockpot. The game room was a lot of fun and good times were spent down there as a family. The resort the house is located on provides a lot of activities for the family! The owners were attentive and available if we needed anything. Thank you for sharing your beautiful vacation home with us!

Lovely and Comfortable stay

Home is comfortable and has most everything you could think of to feel like home. We did a little shopping to have food in the house, but didnt have to buy things like salt, seasonings, oil or even syrup. Our cars were packed to the gills so the toy room was a godsend for our toddler granddaughter and grandma got to remember her teen years playing centipede on the arcade style video game machine! Host was super responsive when we couldn't figure out the fireplace and gave us a call to walk us through it. The Christmas tree was a great touch!

Perfect Getaway Home in Massanutten

Our stay at Matt’s home in Massanutten was nothing short of wonderful. The home was exactly how it was described. It was extremely clean and well cared for. It had all the amenities needed and more. One thing my family all agreed on was how comfortable each and every bed was. The area where the home is located is beautiful and easily accessible to so many attractions. Matt was a wonderful host. He replied quickly to any questions I may have had and also checked in to see if we settled in ok. I highly recommend this home to anyone visiting the area. You will not be disappointed.

Comfortable, clean and close to slopes

Had plenty of space for our family and lots of amenities. The dishwasher and laundry were helpful for a large family. The younger kids enjoyed having the playroom as they couldn’t go skiing with the older kids. The only real drawback for us was the driveway and parking pad. We brought a truck and a suburban and found the driveway tricky to maneuver both vehicles in for parking. It can be done. But it wasn’t ideal for me. If you have cars or small SUVS, probably won’t have any issue parking. Check-in and check-out were super easy. And the property was quiet, clean and convenient.

Mom’s 80th Birthday

We surprised my mom for her 80th Birthday by having the family meet in the middle (kind of) and spend the weekend with her. Six of us arrived a day earlier to decorate, get settled and put away some groceries. She was so thrilled to see everyone and just loved the location and the house. Her favorite thing about the house was the view from the deck. She sat out there every chance she got to enjoy the beautiful view. Of course we joined her to take in the scenery. The house was perfect for us, separate floors for the grown grandchildren and adults upstairs. Prior to the weekend, anytime I had a question, Matt responded almost immediately. His recommendations for places to eat, the bakery we used and things to do were awesome! We all had a great time and will be sure to recommend the house to friends. When we celebrate another family event, we will be staying there! Thank you Matt for letting us stay at your property!
