Cedar Escape Was Made for Group Weekends

One house. One weekend. Everyone together.

Group trips are easier when no one is split between hotel rooms, keycards, lobby meetups, and "where is everybody?" texts.

At Cedar Escape, you get five bedrooms, a full kitchen, gathering spaces, and room for the whole group to settle in — together, but not on top of each other.

Come for JMU, wineries, golf, skiing, or resort fun.

Stay somewhere that makes the weekend feel easy.

The host and hostess were amazingly welcoming and responsive for my group of nine with two different families! Our biggest regret was only booking two nights and not more! The house and amenities were so comfortable and convenient to all that Massanutten Resort had to offer.

We truly enjoyed our stay at your charming place. It was wonderfully clean and exceptionally child-friendly, which made our family trip so much more relaxed. The atmosphere was very welcoming, and we appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout. We felt very much at home during our visit. We look forward to the possibility of returning in the future.

Staying at Cedar Escape Massanutten was an absolute highlight of our trip to Massanutten Resort! The location could not be better for accessing all the resort amenities, and the home itself was impeccably clean, spacious, and wonderfully family-friendly (having a high chair provided was a huge plus for families with little ones). With 5 large bedrooms—including two set up with multiple beds—our group comfortably slept nine people with plenty of room to spare. The main floor living area is beautifully open, making it perfect whether you're entertaining the whole crew or just unwinding after a full day outdoors. On top of the central heat and AC, the owners thoughtfully installed individual mini-split units in the lower level, game room, and theater room, ensuring every single space stayed at the perfect temperature. The amenities here are top-tier: • Endless Entertainment: A dedicated theater room, a full game room with a pool table, card table, classic Ms. Pac-Man arcade machine, exercise space, and even an Oculus VR setup! • Outdoor Living: A premium Traeger grill fully stocked with all the necessary cooking utensils, paired with tons of outdoor seating for sunny group meals. Even though we were only there for a weekend, we created unforgettable memories together. Cedar Escape Massanutten truly exceeded our expectations, and we will definitely book another stay!

What a wonderful weekend. From the moment we opened the door we felt all the love that was put into this place. All the kids could say when we walked in and throughout the house was "ooohhh" and "ahhhhh". We loved how the house was stocked with seasonings, paper products, and hand soap in the bathrooms (we normally dont see that in vacation homes!!). We felt like we were walking into a home versus a "hotel-like" house. Can't wait to book again!
