Little farmhouse
The house has a farm feel but close to necessities. The layout provided some privacy for guests upstairs. Ample paper/plastic products and toiletries provided for our stay. Plenty of bath towels also. We had one issue during our stay that was promptly addressed. Would stay here again!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful farm feel while still being close to everything you needed. It’s great that the layout provided privacy and that you had all the essentials for a comfortable stay. We truly appreciate your understanding with the issue and are glad it was promptly addressed. We’d love to welcome you back for another stay!

Quilt retreat
We enjoyed our stay. We set up the living room as a sewing space. Had a blast.

comfortable and private!
This was a great getaway. The house is clean and redone and very private. Farms and mountains are all around. We could see animals grazing directly across the street from us! Outdoors steps leading to the parking spot are broken, so take care.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed your getaway and appreciated the clean, private feel of the house, along with the beautiful surroundings. We appreciate you pointing out the broken outdoor steps—we’re addressing this to ensure future guests have a safe and comfortable experience. We hope to welcome you back soon for another relaxing stay in the mountains!

Birthday Trip
The facility was very nice for an old house. Very close to the Massanutten Resort and town. The house was very warm with temperatures outside below freezing. It is a new listing on Vrbo and the house has limited items to use if you are cooking alot.
WILLIAM - Posted: 2/20/2024
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your recent stay. We're pleased to hear that you found Hikers Zen to be nice, despite it being an older house. We're glad you appreciated its proximity to Massanutten Resort and the town. Your feedback about the warmth of the house during freezing temperatures is encouraging, and we're glad you were comfortable. We'll take note of your comments about the limited cooking items and work on enhancing the kitchen's amenities for future guests. We appreciate you allowing us to host you and hope to welcome you back again soon.
