Emerald Escape is child friendly. We have several sleeping areas that are great for kids including the kid's mountain adventure themed bedroom and a nursery with a crib attached to the master bedroom.
Is the home monitored by a camera?
Emerald Escape is equipped with three outdoor security cameras. The cameras are located at the front entrance, the font deck facing the front driveway, & the side of the house facing the back driveway. There are no indoor cameras.
What Massanutten Resort amenities are available during our stay?
Emerald Escape is in but not directly associated with Massanutten Resort. The amenities offered by Massanutten Resort are available to guests subject to appropriate costs, fees, &/or advanced scheduling.
Massanutten Resort offers many unique amenities including the Indoor/Outdoor WaterPark, Ski & Adventure Park area, two fantastic golf courses, farm-to-table dining experiences, shopping & recreation options, along with a day spa for complete relaxation & rejuvenation. Many of these activities, including the skiing, ice skating & outdoor water park, are only available during certain times of the year.

Additional paper products for extended stays. Two rolls of paper towels & two rolls of toilet paper for each of the four (4) bathrooms are provided.
A small complement of dishwashing liquid, a sponge, detergent packs, & kitchen trash bags are also provided.
Is Emerald Escape difficult to find?
Although Emerald Escape is located within Massanutten Resort on a mountain, its location is not difficult to reach with or without GPS. We do strongly recommend that an all-wheel drive (AWD) or preferably 4-wheel drive vehicle be used for travel to Mountain Escape as the resort area has some roads, including the driveway, which have high inclines & declines as well as being somewhat narrow.
Accessibility & Stairs
The most accessible level is the lower level. The lower level comprises; King Bedroom (#4) a double full bedroom (#5), and a double full over full bunk room (#6), Billiards lounge, theater area, laundry room and full bathroom. Access to the lower level is without steps/stairs & the width of all doors & hallways is greater than or equal to 32 inches.
Does this home have pest control:
Emerald Escape is treated both internally & externally with pesticides every season, that said, you will still likely see all types of insects (including some that fly) & arachnids both alive & dead within the home as the home is located on a mountain & in a heavily wooded area.
