Two homes at Massanutten.
Reconnect with nature. Gather with the people you love. Rest in rooms designed for comfort.
The Palmer Summit and The Gilded Grouse are two six-bedroom homes at Massanutten Four Seasons Resort in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, each sleeping 16, hosted by Laura and Michael. The Palmer Summit is bright and open, with the ski slopes in view from the front deck and a home theater below. The Gilded Grouse is lamplit and backs onto the forest, with a 1,500-square-foot deck and a mountainside yard. Both have a hot tub, a sauna and a fire table.

Laura and Michael
Your hosts at both
Laura and Michael.
We live in Northern Virginia with our three daughters and Rosie, a chocolate Lab. Laura is a James Madison graduate who plans trips around restaurants, rides horses when she can, and spends most weekends at a swim meet. Michael cycles and skis whenever the calendar allows, and follows the Tour de France every July.
We bought and renovated these two houses because we wanted a place at Massanutten that feels the way a fine hotel feels, with the room and the quiet of a home: beds worth the drive, a kitchen that can feed sixteen, and hosts who answer when you ask. We furnished every room ourselves, and we're a message away throughout your stay.
