The space
In the early 1920's the Lodge was part of Massanutten Caverns Resort. It contained a large arcade room, dining area and gift shop that guests would visit while they were touring the cave. The grand hall hosted many events over the years and in the 1980's, after the caverns were closed to the public, the Lodge was converted into a bed and breakfast.

We have a massive gas log set in the main room of the Lodge. Each night rental has 1.5 hours of gas log usage. We use the honor system which allows you to utilize the gas logs at your convenience. We provide the remote and a written log for you to self monitor your usage. If you would like more time it can be arranged for an additional charge of $50 dollars per hour. This gas log set was custom made and is one of the largest available. It uses a lot of gas and so we are required to limit its usage. During periods of extreme cold, we reserve the right to require a set time for running the logs, so we can manually close the dampers to conserve heat when logs are not running.

We are empty nesters who work and live in Reston Va. most of the time. Our home is a great place to host our extended family including 4 grandchildren ages 6 and under! Would love to share our home as it is very spacious and accommodating for large families or several families for special events and reunions.
