Just by the Skyland amphitheater is a building, on the top of an incline, facing west to Luray down below. There are four rooms here all with this breathtaking view made all the more gorgeous as the sun travels overhead and changes the color of the world below. At night, the stars are so vibrant that they can be seen while laying in bed. In the evening, the sunset is such an explosion of color it paints the walls. But in the early morning hours as the sun rises, it climbs on the other side of the mountain and slowly, gently, spreads over the valley floor. On this particular morning, it was below freezing and fog spread out through the valley, looking like a white ocean with waves that billowed and changed. The sun slowly burned away the fog, exposing a frost-covered land, and for a moment it felt like we were viewing the depths of a snowflake.

If you go to Skyland Resort in Shenandoah, spend the extra bucks for a good room with a view. Nearly all rooms overlook this valley in some way, but we splurged for a king bed and were so lucky to see this sight every morning with a warm cup of coffee in hand.

"We were there only for an overnight, but had enough time to visit local\downtown restaurants, shops and brewery. Easy walk to everything. Just park your car at the Inn and go. Short drive to hiking. Safe, everybody I walked by said "hi" before I could. The room was spacious, bed was comfortable, water was hot. I don't know how many other people were staying at the Inn while we were there, but the one person we met was friendly and quietly reading on the swing on the front porch. Nicely...

"I loved this little house. The decor was modern yet Civil War era-esque. Very cozy and comfy. The little extras the host left were great although did not use any of them.

Big Meadows Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Traditional American lodging at its finest!"

Outdoor Theatre | Hot Tub | Fire Pit | Dogs

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice rustic get-a-way in a quiet neighborhood - relaxing retreat. Close to attractions and kayaking in the river. The outdoor theater was a nice touch - helpful hints: you will need a computer, DVD player, or an Amazon fire stick to work the projector (HDMI connection) with wifi capability and take a Bluetooth speaker to enhance your experience. Great yard if you have dogs, but don't forget flea/tick protection to keep them safe. Kristen was excellent with communication! I would recommend this cabin in the future. "
