Resort hub outside of Harrisonburg
Mature forests surround Massanutten, offering this small, rustic community the kind of seclusion rare for a place this convenient. Named for the popular four-season resort, Massanutten is 15 miles from Harrisonburg, a major employer, and about 8 miles from Elkton and its vibrant downtown. The area has become increasingly popular for vacation rentals, but there are still full-time residents. “The taxes are ridiculously low — lower than Harrisonburg,” says Realtor Jeff Konstant, Massanutten Realty. “For all the area has to offer, the cost of living is pretty darn reasonable.” Konstant, who has more than 25 years of local experience, says the county has a diverse economy. “We have Merck Pharmaceuticals, Molson Coors, universities and of course, the resort,” he says.

Hot housing market for investors
The median home price in Massanutten is about $500,000, compared to $340,000 in Harrisonburg. According to Konstant, property investors looking to buy vacation rentals have contributed to home values that have nearly doubled since 2021. “Most people are still primary residents, but the dynamic has shifted in the last few years,” he says. “Every home that has been newly constructed has been five or six bedrooms.” Single-family homes are from the late 20th century through the present day, set along quiet, tree-lined roads in small subdivisions without sidewalks. Craftsman-style homes and new traditional cabins are common; larger properties often include features like decks, private pools and hot tubs. “We’ve got water and sewer, not wells and septic,” Konstant says.
Log homes are very common throughout the hills of Massanutten.
Newer homes can be found spread out along the windy roads in Massanutten.

Four-season fun at Massanutten Resort
Massanutten Resort offers two 18-hole golf courses, six swimming pools and 14 trails for skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels. “The major attractions are the ski slopes and golf course,” Konstant says. “We’ve also got a mini-golf course, tennis courts, bumper carts — things of that nature.” Hikers and mountain bikers can explore over 30 miles of trails through the Western Slope, where birders may spot European starlings, tree swallows and red-winged blackbirds. Folks can also kayak, canoe and tube down the Shenandoah River; other resort highlights include ice skating, horseback riding and trout fishing in Hopkins or Painters Pond.

Getting around Massanutten and road maintenance
U.S. Route 33 borders Massanutten, granting easy access to Harrisonburg, 15 miles away. “We have this fantastic road system,” Konstant says. “If there’s snow, you’re not getting to Bryce Resort because you’re relying on the county to clear two-lane roads. We have four-lane roads, and the state keeps them wide open. No point in having a ski resort if you can’t get to it.” Sentara RMH Medical Center is 13 miles away, and Dulles International Airport is 107 miles away.
The view is always wonderful looking out over Massanutten.
