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.

5/5 Excellent

"The hotel was nice and clean. Bed was comfortable and soft. Probably the nicest hotel in Luray. The only problem we had was the air conditioner wasn’t working properly. The room thermostat was set to 68 and by morning the room temperature was up to 78. It got pretty stuffy in the room. Didn’t have the most comfortable sleep with it being that warm even though the bed was comfortable. "

"We stayed overnight in a traditional double-bed room. The cabin is cosy and clean, beds are comfortable, heat and hot water run smoothly and efficiently, food and services in the dining room and bar are good with even live music performance at night. There’s no TV in our room, but who needs that after a day of hiking. This is a perfect place to stay in the Shenandoah National Park."

Awesome for a family vacation

"Very clean, had everything we needed, and no issues! Location was great for seeing a variety of spots throughout the Shenandoah area. We brought our 1 year old daughter here and the cabin was safe and kid friendly!"
