Old Massanutten Lodge Bed and Breakfast

Be pampered and make memories at our beautiful bed and breakfast while enjoying the views, grounds and the many activities of the surrounding area. We're located on six acres at the end of a quiet country road in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley at the western base of Massanutten Peak - the perfect spot for loads of privacy. Here you can relax and enjoy the beauty of nature, wander our gardens, or go horseback riding at a stable right next door.Originally built and operated for over 50 years as a day resort, our 1920s-era stone and stucco lodge has been carefully restored yet fully modernized. Featured on cable TV's HGTV series "Building Character," the Lodge was converted from a commercial building to a private residence and is now a comfortable and quiet place for our guests.

The Lodge's gardens and grassy areas offer a prime location for our guests and others to enjoy lawn games at weddings, parties, concerts, family functions and other small or large get-togethers.

The Great Room has been the main attraction at the lodge for many decades, hosting dances, parties, weddings, family reunions, and more. When the room is not in use for a party, you can enjoy the room for some great conversation, a quiet game of chess, or even a turn on the piano.

In its heyday the Lodge hosted caverns tours, swimming, dancing, parties, and provided memories for many people both local and from afar. We still hear from people who tell us stories of the "good old days in Rockingham County." Several visitors have told us that this was the landing spot for the first plane to land in the county. Although there is no longer a pool and the caverns are closed, they still are fond memories our visitors have shared with us.
