The property was everything we needed. Plenty of space for a family of 5 and a dog and very clean. The location was ideal for hiking in Shenandoah and visiting nearby breweries and downtown Harrisonburg. Would definitely stay again if we head back to the area.

The house was absolutely beautiful and gave us so much space! The bathroom floor upstairs had hair and dust in the corners and the shower had a spider but overall the house was clean! The power was out for the first night of our stay due to an area outtage and there is no generator but the gas fireplace in the main living room sufficed to have some source of heat. The contact information on a picture in the litchen needs to be updated, the telephone number was not an active number. Aside from those few things, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Communication from the host was excellent. We got regular updates and helpful information before and throughout our stay. The house was beautiful (loved the Christmas decorations), and very comfortable for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked with more than the basics, including a lot of extras that many rentals do not have. The coffee, tea, hot chocolate bar was extra special along with the snacks (and charging cords). Thank you for thinking of everything to make our stay so easy and enjoyable.

Tremendous stay - the house was very well appointed, clean, and the owners clearly have the experience in mind from check-in through check-out. One of the smoothest, most comfortable, and peaceful VRBO stays we've ever had.

Stayed at the property with our 3 grown children, their spouses and 3 grandkids. It was one of the better VRBO’s we’ve used. The owner was responsive to our questions. Loved hiking in the National Park.

Beautiful House

The house was very clean and spacious with little touches throughout. We cooked a couple meals while we were there and found absolutely everything we needed. 6 of us were there for our annual girls weekend and we all had plenty of space for ourselves. The driveway is a bit steep and awkward but we had no problem fitting/parking 3 SUV's. Would definitely stay again!

Magnolia met our needs beautifully. There is a lot of space; 4 of the 5 bedrooms are huge. Lots of things that make a trip a little better...great TVs, comfortable beds, a well stocked kitchen. The location is very convenient to the resort as well as restaurants and shopping.

Exceptional property close to Harrisonburg

We stayed at Magnolia Lodge to celebrate our son’s graduation from nearby James Madison University. The VPMS staff was very responsive to our questions and provided thorough instructions for arrival and check-in. The property is very clean and well-furnished, with plenty of amenities such as snacks, coffee, extra spices, paper products, and cleaning supplies. We also appreciated the strong wi-fi and games to keep everyone connected and entertained. The steep driveway was a bit challenging when wet, but there is plenty of room for several vehicles. We highly recommend this property and the VPMS team. Thanks for a great stay!

Wonderful Property

This property was exactly as presented. It was beautiful, clean, and spacious. It was in a very safe and beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Very close to an ice cream shop and great brewery. The third floor bedrooms get a bit hot with just one A/C unit for 3 floors, but I'd stay there again even knowing that. The bedrooms were so beautiful and roomy!Great stay!

This was a great property. It’s nicely located and the owners have really taken the effort to make it welcoming and enjoyable. The place was very clean and there were lots of thoughtful things ( snacks, lots of dinnerware, coffee, teabags, makeup remover) that added a touch of convenience to our visit. The outdoor seating was great and very relaxing. Overall a great place to stay and we would definitely visit again.

Great House!

We use VRBO nearly every time we travel and Magnolia House is the best-managed property we've ever stayed at! From the cleanliness to the amenities, the house had everything we needed. We traveled with our 18-year-old twins and two friends of theirs. Everyone had their own room and the kids had a separate downstairs den of their own. Overall, it was a great family weekend and we will definitely rent this house again!

Christmas family trip at Magnolia Lodge

Magnolia Lodge is a wonderful accommodation. We had a family of 6 adults and 2 grandchildren, 1 and 3 years old. The layout was perfect for us- grandparents on the main floor, parents and grandkids upstairs and the youngest of our kids and her partner on the bottom floor. The beds were great!! First time with no back pain in the morning in months! The details of the home are so inviting. There was a Christmas tree and a place to hang stockings on the mantle — Santa came AGAIN! Little ones so excited. The kitchen was well stocked, with everything one could need. Lots of pots and pans, all sizes, dishes, utensils, everything. And plenty of supplies- soap, dish towels etc. And a supply of snacks, which the toddlers loved, coffee, hot chocolate etc. Finally, the property management company, VPMS, was first rate. We had lots of questions, the response was always prompt and friendly, even when we didn’t expect a response until the next day.Highly recommend Magnolia Lodge!

Great house

The home is big enough to accommodate a large group but very cozy feeling. The home was very, very clean with many amenities. The towels were fluffy, the kitchen had every appliance we needed, plenty of plates and silverware and a very well stocked beverage bar. The owners were responsive. The driveway is steep and curved but manageable. Overall a great rental property.

Spacious Mountain Gateway

This cabin was the perfect retreat for our group of six. The spacious interior and multiple floors gave us plenty of room to spread out and relax. The cozy fireplaces added a touch of warmth and ambiance to our evenings. The location was convenient, with a short drive to Shenandoah National Park. The quiet neighborhood and comfortable accommodations made for a peaceful and enjoyable stay. Plus, the thoughtful inclusion of snacks was a welcome surprise. We would definitely stay here again!
