Our second try... the first was in March, we missed the ski season, so we came back for summer…read more Seriously disappointed that the water park was $370 for a family of 4! That's more than Hershey Park, Kings Dominion, and Water Park USA. Which all have better water parks. However.... We loved the recreation water park and just did that 4 days, the kids love it, indoor and outdoor. Zip lining, summer tubing, go karts etc... we had fun.

I waited a week to see if my attitude towards vacation has changed and I'm sorry to say it hasn't…read more If your going to this resort becuase your thinking it's like the hotel in dirty dancing - your in for a BIG shock. This is a HUGE complex spanning MILKED of mountainous territory. We stayed at the summit condos. This location was about 3 miles away from anything else on the property. Due to this anytime anyone had something scheduled to do we had to arrange how to get people from point a to b with only one car. This proved to be a HUGE hassle. The rooms - well ours needed a BIG update. The furniture was horrid. The couch cushions flattened into nothing and you sunk in the couch anytime you tried to sit. The best thing that could have happened to any of the living room furniture was to throw it off the deck. The bed was a giant non supportive marshmallow that caused me GREAT back pain. You could literally feel the dents from where people slept on it. It was awful. The kitchen was ok as passable at best. It had the world's loudest ice maker and dishwasher I've ever heard. Both looked like they belonged in the 90s. Onto the activities. Beware you will be nickled and dimed for EVERYTHING and that is so not a joke. The one class that cost $15 was for the kids to make a gnome home. They used an old milk carton and about $2 in crafting items. I'm probably being generous saying it was $2 of crafting material total. The escape rooms didn't work right and actually broke while we were there. On and beware things shut down on Thursdays for whatever reasons. So literally we went into town and spent time there cuz there was nothing to do on the resort. The pools are ok sized but have little to no shade. What shade that was there was quickly gobbled up by seat hogs that refused to move. I'm convinced people walked in saved their seats and left. The amount of stuff on chairs did not match the number of people who were there. This made the pool extremely hot and uncomfortable on the extremely hot days when we were there. Overall we traveled with 6 kids ranging in ages from 15-22. All were bored by day 3 and looking for things in town to do. Beware of the super strong timeshare pitch that you will be contacted about. While the tour they gave was nice there's no way I'd buy a timeshare there. Would not do again.

The selection was limited, but it was limited to really excellent hiking and inclement weather boots, which was perfect for what we needed. We found our sizes, bought boots and socks and were ready to go! The boots kept us in good shape in actual ankle-deep mud. The people working were friendly, helpful, humorous, and kind. Thank you!

I was sort of properly dressed, but I forgot my gloves and I forgot my boots. I was gonna pop in to see if I can buy some gloves, but I noticed they also had boots. I know winter boots can be expensive. That's a given, but the gloves.. HOLY SMOKES!!! some of the gloves were $70 just for swishy sounding mittens and gloves. I ended up getting a pair. I think they were like 40 bucks but they were on sale. It was hard to find my size because UNFORTUNATELY my dad gave me his big old prizefighting mitts, but I found a pair of mittens just like I wanted. But I understand the high price it's all about demand. This place is conveniently located for people like myself who can't stay organized and remember the things that they need to take on trips. I didn't end up skiing, but I did go tubing. The next trip up I'll make sure I'm prepared but I'm glad that place was there when I needed some gloves.

The staff was extremely friendly…read moreand helpful, and there were so many activities to keep the kids entertained even after they were done with the water park. There was truly something for everyone to enjoy! And for us parents, the bar was reasonably priced, which was definitely a plus! Everything was nice, clean, and well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay and made some great memories together. We'll definitely be back!

Second time here because I wanted to give it another try. I'm disappointed yet again. The bed is so…read moreuncomfortable. The mattress is old and creaky. The room, although nice, complete with a fireplace (it's just for show-doesn't get warm) is SO INCREDIBLY DAMP!!. It's disgusting and it stinks like a musty old basement . called to the front desk and they had maintenance bring a commercial dehumidifier (see picture). It's been running for over 24 hours now and thank goodness the room has dried out. The smell still lingers but not as strong. The maintenance guy even said "oh my gosh this is terrible. I feel it and smell it, I'm so sorry!" I rented a cabana overnight and paid at the front desk in the morning. Went downstairs to Check In and was told "I'm sorry all the cabanas are full. Someone made a mistake and didn't reserve yours" I was pissed and my daughter was disappointed. We had a cabana yesterday and wanted another one today. The manager offered an apology and a "free game of bowling or whatever you want." I was also told "I will look into your reservation and see what kind of discount I can give you." Of course I got refunded for the cabana, but no reservation discount. What I wanted was the cabana I reserved and paid for. What I got was a round table, a few chairs, towels and a free locker rental. The gesture was nice but definitely not sufficient. Our table was placed in front of two empty cabanas, although they had someone's name on them by, 4:45 PM no one had showed up for either one. Somehow I doubt they came at 5 PM when the park closes at 8 PM. One of those could've been mine! The internet...it's horrible. Been here 3 days and have been able to access internet probably 2 or 3 times. I have work emails to answer and can't. See pic of the message I keep getting. I tried airplane mode on and off, tried rebooting my iPhone, tried "forgetting the network"...tried everything the front desk staff said to try. $1200 for 3 nights and I can't even access my work email on a regular basis. I was offered a $50 refund on my stay because of this. We'll see if that even shows up. The only way I'm even able to write this review at 1:45am as I lay here in bed, is because it miraculously connected for the moment I don't even care about the $50, I just need the Internet like I get at every hotel that I visit. I swear, it's just been one thing after another here. I cannot wait to get back home. As much as I want to like this GWL location I just don't. I'm really looking forward to visiting Kalahari in November when it opens. P.S. on another note, staff is very friendly and pleasant and the lifeguards do a great job constantly checking the pool for safety.

There is plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Do know it can get packed on weekends so outdoor seating can be harder to come by. The Cidery overlooks a huge field below that is good for kids and pets to run around. They have a huge selection of cider. They also offer a cider that you can only get at the taproom. We recently went on Mother's Day and they were doing a cute brunch and giving out free carnations. I enjoyed their classic cider and exclusive one. They have a pretty big food menu which is nice.

We chose to give a 10% tip since we had to pay for the carryout food before we knew what it would be like. Our two salads, which were acceptable but nothing special, seemed smaller than the ones we noticed people eating in the restaurant while we waited on our food. The blackened chicken sandwich was good, but the homemade chips were mostly burnt, too crunchy, and had a bitter taste that precluded eating them. Several less-cooked chips were soggy and soft. About 10% were cooked properly and were fairly tasty. I would not recommend this restaurant for takeout, but the meals we noticed the in-person patrons eating did appear better.

READ THIS BEFORE you think of buying a timeshare at King's Creek. In 2018 I purchased a one week…read moretimeshare for a 4 bedroom unit at the Estates at King's Creek. I loved it, but in 2021 when I attended the owners update meeting King's Creek encourages all owners to attend when they are vacationing at their time share, I somehow let a salesperson talk me into trading my 4 bedroom Estates for a 4 bedroom unit in the Townes, and paying an extra $10K to do so. My adult daughter came along to the meeting with the expressed purpose of making sure I didn't spend any more money on upgrading my timeshare (I had started in 2009 with a 2 bedroom Townes for $10K, then traded up to a 3 bedroom Cottage for another $10K in 2013 before spending an additional $10K to get the 4 bedroom Estates). The salesperson's name was Jeff K. and he convinced my daughter that "Your dad is so close to owning perfection if he just spends $10K more to get the 4 bedroom Townes, and unlimited $400/week vacations at resorts all over the world". Jeff was a very persuasive salesperson, and managed to talk my daughter into telling me it would be a good idea to spend the additional $10K. What a disaster that turned out to be, as everything Jeff told us was a total lie. I found that out when I went on the Kings Creek site to find a $400 week somewhere on the East Coast (didn't have them money to fly somewhere). Turns out that to get access to the domestic resorts, I had to pay another $3K!!! On top of that, the 4 bedroom unit in the Townes, (which is basically a collection of two story town houses with shared walls), has walls that are paper-thin, and neighbors who are often very inconsiderate. You hear EVERYTHING from your neighbors! When I complained to King's Creek that Jeff had lied to me, they told me they have since fired Jeff, but they would only help me if I spent another $10K to move back to the Cottages, which are stand alone units, (and therefore quiet). But as mentioned above, I had already spent $20K to supposedly upgrade from the Cottages in my two moves since 2013! Now they want another $10K to go backwards $20K!! Total joke. Based on my experience, King's Creek and their parent company, Spinnaker Resorts are incredibly dishonest and greedy. Financially, this has been the worst decision of my life.

Oct 18-25, 2025. My husband and I returned to Woodstone for an autumn vacation. We've been…read moretimeshare owners here at Woodstone for 25 years, and we decided to utilize our home unit rather than trading through RCI this year. This review is specifically about our check-in experience as well as the unit we stayed in. I will review our other activities at the resort separately. Check-in. There have been HUGE improvements to the check-in processes since our last visit in 2023. There are now SELF check-in kiosks. You respond to the necessary identification prompts and, when finished, a staff member comes over with an information packet and room keys. You still need to go to another desk to pick up your parking pass, where you are encouraged to attend an "owners update", AKA a timeshare presentation. Although we had promised each other that we would resist any and all encouragement to attend an update, we were quickly persuaded when we heard that the incentive would be a generous $300 in Massanutten's Mad Money (to be used on-site for activities, restaurants, or shops) or a $150 Visa card to be used anywhere. *Pet-peeve: Massanutten charged a "resort fee" of $74.90 for our 7-night stay in a 2-bedroom unit, which is on top of the maintenance fees that we already pay annually. Not sure of what this is for as most activities also have individual fees associated with them. Unit: we were assigned Woodstone unit Y9, which we absolutely loved. It's a two-bedroom downstairs unit in a townhouse that sleeps 6 (with a pull-out couch in the living room). It's an end unit that has an outside porch with small table and chairs overlooking the pond. We were entertained daily by the geese on the pond, as well as an occasional family of deer passing by our unit. Massanutten Mountain is a 10-15 minute drive up the mountain, and there are fabulous views of the mountains and the rolling green hills of the golf course. The unit itself was seemingly recently updated and clean, and had most of what we needed. It had a full kitchen, with full-sized refrigerator/freezer, stove/oven combo, microwave, dishes, cups, pots/pans, plastic storage containers, etc. Importantly, there was sufficient shelf space to fit our groceries! There were also starter packs of coffee/tea, and dishwashing and laundry detergents. *Hint. If you're going to be doing any cutting, you might want to bring a large, sharp knife. While the unit had knives, I had difficulty cutting a butternut squash because the largest knife was dull. Also, bring along your own cups if your preference is for LARGE cups of coffee or tea. The dining area is adjacent to the kitchen, and had a table that seats six. Placemats are provided. The living room was comfortable, with sofas, side tables, and a bureau. A television is above the gas fireplace (which we couldn't get to work. Perhaps it wasn't turned on yet for the season). The master bedroom had a huge king-sized bed with a comfortable mattress, dresser, side tables, work-table, large closet, and television. Our only complaint was that the pillows weren't comfortable as they were soft and lumpy. The master bath had a large whirlpool bath with six jets; dual sinks; a toilet with closed door; towels and wash cloths; hair dryer: and a packet of toiletries. The second bedroom had two twin beds, and an adjacent small bathroom (including shower). The unit also had an ironing board and iron. The thermostat allowed you to regulate the temperature in your own unit; extra blankets were in the closet. The entrance foyer is shared with the upstairs unit, and has a shared laundry unit with washer and dryer (free). The upstairs unit (stairs only; no elevator) was occupied for only two nights, and we could hear their child running back and forth but the sounds were quite muffled and didn't disturb us. Nights were quiet. There was a short wooden walkway leading from the (free) parking area directly outside of our unit. We noticed that one of the wooden slats was broken, but forgot to report it. However, a day later, we were impressed to find that the slat had been replaced. This unit is close to the park area with playground, shuffleboard and corn hole games, and tennis/pickleball courts.

This building functions as a bit of a central bathing area for Massanutten Resort's condos. We came…read morehere to check in/check out as well as use various amenities like the pool, hot tub, sauna, and gym. I didn't have a chance to visit the other rec center but from talking to employees, it sounds like this one is better for kids because the pool is designed for play, not lap swimming, is warmer (88 degrees!), and most of it is shallow enough for kids to stand. There's also locker rooms for changing/storing stuff, and they do provide towels when you go to the pool area. If you're doing a timeshare presentation (and not an owner already), this is also where you will come to do your timeshare presentation. And it's just across the parking lot from a small convenience store if you want to pick up a few items like milk so it really is a central gathering place.
