“I bought VA local wine for our neighbor who was caring for our cats. I also got her some lotion made by a local company. The staff was friendly and the store was organized. I went in during the morning so not sure how it is during other time frames but you can find gifts, snacks, and beverages. I didn’t mind paying more for the VA local wines because of the convenience factor.”

“Nice gift shop. Has lots of different things and equipment for the snow sports. As well as food. Pricing is a bit higher than I remember. But that’s inflation! Staff was friendly and helpful!”

“This place gets a 4 for convenience. It's on the resort so you don't need to drive to Food Lion (the closest grocery store which is about 10 minutes away). The grocery section is pretty small but had everything I was looking for - sliced bread, fruit, vegetables, and milk. The price is roughly 2 times what you would expect to pay at Food Lion though - $5 for half a gallon of milk, $5 for a loaf of bread, etc. There's also an assortment of souvenirs if you're interested in that kind of thing, including a mini Build a Bear type machine (where you stuff the animal with cotton and pick out an outfit). Although we didn't go fishing at Massanutten, we did hear that you can buy fishing bait, a fishing license, and rent fishing gear here too. Apparently their lakes are stocked 8 times a year so there's always fish!”
