Blackcrest Retreat
Where the mountain meets the crest
McGaheysville, VA · Massanutten · 7BR / 5BA · Sleeps 18
Some places you visit. Blackcrest Retreat is one you plan your year around.
Located in Massanutten, Virginia, Blackcrest Retreat was designed around one idea: your mountain getaway should be part of the adventure. Across 7 Crest-themed bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, multiple gathering spaces, expansive decks, wellness amenities, indoor and outdoor entertainment, and experiences created just for this home, every level gives your group something new to discover.
But Blackcrest is about more than amenities. It's about LEGACY. When you arrive, you'll find a crest waiting for your family to decorate, personalize, and leave behind — your own little stamp on Blackcrest Retreat. As the collection grows, every family who stays here becomes another piece of the Blackcrest story.
Throughout the home, scan custom QR codes to unlock stories and books connected to the spaces around you. Keep an eye out for Crestor, our snowy owl who watches over Blackcrest. Don't worry — he isn't real. He's just part of the magic for the kids.
And speaking of kids, there's an entire adventure waiting for them: a scavenger hunt, hidden treasure, a secret Knights Closet, games galore, a kids nook, golf-ball painting and surprises throughout the house.

Crest Wellness
Not every vacation needs to be go, go, go. Crest Wellness is our dedicated space for stretching, movement, yoga, relaxing and resetting between mountain adventures. There's also a sleeper chaise here for additional sleeping flexibility.
Coffee + Tea Station
Because nobody should have to go upstairs before their first cup of coffee. This level has its own coffee and tea station with a mini fridge.
Mid-Level Deck — Your Wellness Escape
Step outside and slow everything down. Start the morning with coffee outside, unwind in the sauna, soak after a day on the mountain, or slip into the hot tub after the kids finally go to bed.

Lower Level
Crest Club
Welcome to the level where “one more game” turns into three more hours. Crest Club was designed to give the whole group somewhere to hang out without ever needing to leave the house.
- ◆ Large sectional
- ◆ 75-inch TV
- ◆ Bar
- ◆ Pool table
- ◆ Ping-pong
- ◆ Card + game space
- ◆ Popcorn machine
- ◆ Games galore
- ◆ Kids nook
- ◆ Multi-sport simulator
And yes, we said MULTI-SPORT. The indoor simulator offers multiple sports — but it is not a golf simulator. Golfers, don't worry. We didn't forget about you.
Covered Lower Deck — Golf + Outdoor Fun
Step outside Crest Club onto the covered lower deck and you'll find something a little different. Hit golf balls all day into the dedicated hitting net, then challenge the family to a round on your own mini-golf course. For the kids, we've even included a golf-ball painting station so they can create their own masterpiece.
Golf hitting net · Private mini golf · Golf-ball painting station · Two hanging chairs · Outdoor TV
Movie Night, Blackcrest Style
Not using the simulator for sports? Turn the space into movie night. Blow up our provided lounge chairs and settle in for a movie on the big screen, or move the loungers out toward the covered deck and outdoor TV for your own outdoor movie night. Some of the lounge seating can also provide additional flexible sleeping space when needed.
The Backyard
Follow the stairs from the deck and you'll find yet another gathering spot tucked into the backyard. A second fire pit gives everyone a place to gather beneath the mountain sky, tell stories and roast s'mores. And yes — we provide the s'mores.

◆ The Blackcrest Legacy ◆
This is the heart behind the house.
Blackcrest was designed around LEGACY — the stories we create, the adventures we remember, and the people we share them with. When you arrive, a Blackcrest crest will be waiting for your family. Decorate it. Add your personality. Leave your mark. Then leave it behind to become part of Blackcrest Retreat.
Over time, the home will fill with crests created by the families and friends who have stayed here — each one representing another trip, another memory and another piece of the Blackcrest story.
You'll also find custom QR codes throughout the property. Scan them to unlock Blackcrest stories and books connected to the spaces around you. And you'll probably start noticing Crestor — our snowy owl and the guardian of the Blackcrest story. He's not real, but don't tell the kids we said that. He watches over the home and helps lead our youngest guests into their own Blackcrest adventure.
