Bear Den at Massanutten Resort

Comfortable 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom house inside the gates of Massanutten Resort. Enjoy sitting in the hot tub on the enormous two-level deck surrounded by beautiful woods. Quickly start up the propane fire pit table and enjoy sitting on the deck around the fire with your favorite beverage, or dine al fresco around the outdoor table & chairs. Inside the house is a huge 4-season sunroom spanning the entire back of the house with gorgeous views of the surrounding woods. Well-stocked kitchen with granite countertops and everything you need to make full meals at home. Living room has plenty of cozy seating and a gas fireplace. Two large flat screened TVs, one in living room and one in primary bedroom.

House sleeps 6 in the 3 bedrooms, with capacity to sleep up to 4 more on the sleeper sofa in the sunroom and queen air mattress. (Sleeper sofa best for kids not adults.) Primary bedroom has king bed and en suite bathroom with tub and shower. Bedroom #2 has queen bed. Bedroom #3 has 2 twin XL beds. The second full bathroom is located adjacent to the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms. Half bathroom conveniently located in the hallway. The house is all one level with only 1 step up to the front door. Great high-speed internet and wifi so you can do work or school from the house, and stream all your favorite shows on the TVs.

The Bear Den is located within the gates of Massanutten Resort, and all resort amenities are within 3 miles of the house including skiing, snow tubing, indoor/outdoor water park, zip line & ropes course, two 18-hole golf courses, mini golf, Go-Karts, downhill and cross-country mountain biking, hiking trails, and more.

Perfect getaway
We stayed at the Bear Den over my children’s spring break. It was the perfect location to the water park, resort parks, and a still restful retreat for hikes, relaxing on the deck, and comforts of home. We had excellent communication with the property owners and are excited to visit again!

Stayed here for a few days of skiing at Massanutten - while the snow was somewhat lacking, the Bear Den was awesome. Plenty of room for games, hot tubbing, gathering. Would definitely come back.

Convenient Getaway
The property was clean and well-appointed. It had lots of space for our family of four to spread out. The hot tub was wonderful, and the convenience of being just a few minutes from the waterpark and ski slopes was amazing. The hosts were gracious with early checkin and late checkout, which was an added bonus. We would definitely return to the property!
