Massanutten Resort is one of the Mid-Atlantic’s Premier Four Season Resort Destinations. You’ll find adventure around every corner at this family-friendly resort.

1. Family Friendly

Massanutten Resort makes it easy for families to get away and enjoy vacation time together. The family-friendly resort covers 6,000 acres, and all of the fun adventures, events, dining options, and lodging are all within a short drive of each other.

Massanutten Resort offers families a calm and relaxing getaway or an action-packed week. The staff at Massanutten Resort pride themselves on making each stay convenient and easy for families.

Massanutten Resort offers so many fun adventure options. The ‘Build you Own Package‘ online makes planning your stay a simple process. Our condo even felt like home with a full kitchen that made it easy to cook for the family.

Let’s be honest, vacations are rarely a vacation for parents. Dragging bags to and from, fighting traffic, or standing in long lines can all easily make a vacation stressful. Vacations are more fun at Massanutten Resort with all of the family-friendly conveniences.

The resort is large enough that you need a vehicle, but each drive is very short from one fun adventure to another. We experienced the family-friendly atmosphere in the friendly and helpful staff we encountered who made our stay more enjoyable and relaxing.

Massanutten is an easy 2.5 hour drive from DC. It is perfect for families who want to get away from the city, but also accessible to those with younger kids who may not be ready for longer road trips.

2. Adventures

Summer at Massanutten offers adventures perfect for all ages. The year-round adventures at Massanutten means your family can plan a family-friendly resort trip from DC any time.

On the mountain you can climb, bike, hike and more. The many pools at Massanutten Resort offer opportunities to cool off. Families can easily spend the whole day at the Water Park. Read our 10 essential tips for the Waterpark with kids.

Everyone can challenge themselves at the Family Adventure Park with thrills for all ages. Dining with entertainment is on the menu for families at Massanutten Resort. Families can work together in an escape room.

Massanutten offers several adventure options so kids of different ages can try different activities all in the same place. There are also flexible activities that require no advanced booking which makes life easier for parents with kids napping.

Our summer getaway was packed with adventure. You can read more about our adventures at this family-friendly resort here.

3. Four Seasons of Fun

The mountains aren’t only for snow sports at Massanutten Resort. Any time is the perfect time for a getaway to Massanutten Resort. The warmer weather brings zip lining, golf, rock climbing, river adventures, rope courses, hiking, biking and more.

We were blown away by the selection of activities available in summer. Of course, you can enjoy all of your favorite winter sports on and around the snow-covered slopes during the colder months, but snow sports aren’t the only thing happening when it’s cold.

The Massanutten WaterPark can be enjoyed year-round, along with the escape rooms, nature center, spa, and more.

4. Accommodations for Everyone

Pulling up and seeing the beautiful house that we would call home during our vacation was a highlight for our kids. They loved exploring all the different features in and around our townhouse.

We stayed at the Regal Vistas, a gated community that features brand new, modern townhomes surrounded by some gorgeous mountain views.

After a long day of adventuring (and getting the kids to bed), we really loved relaxing on our deck looking out over the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The Regal Vistas have an open concept, featuring spacious rooms with lots of natural light and luxurious bathrooms. Our kids all loved soaking in the huge tub.

We appreciated that the updated kitchen was fully stocked with everything for the week: dishes, silverware, platters, cooking and baking utensils, wine glasses – all the comforts of home were there.

The Regal Vistas are great for more than one family with adjoining units. Each home also had a garage, washer and dryer. We also had access to an outdoor pool, picnic area, and gym.

While we would highly recommend the Regal Vistas for families, there are many other lodging options available at this family-friendly resort and you can check them out here.

5. Enjoy the Great Outdoors

We are outdoor enthusiasts and loved spending time in the mountains with our family. The Shenandoah Valley offers a range of adventures for thrill seekers and nature lovers alike.

In addition to all our fun adventures, our kids loved spotting wildlife along the roads, from our decks, on the chairlift up to Massanutten Peak and all around the family-friendly resort.

The Nature Center was a great resource for our little nature lovers to learn more about the local environment. Our 3 year old even saw a fox one night after a show.

We spent very little time indoors (awake) while we were at Massanutten.
