This is a unique lodge; all the rooms are all different, you get to choose which one you want, and the views are beautiful. We were there in October and felt like we had the place completely to ourselves. It has a great location if you are going to be in Shenandoah National Park, just a few minutes from the SE entrance. The downside was the restaurant hours were minimal, and they were closed on several days. Because of this we never got to eat there. The ice machine was also located in the restaurant and couldn't be used if the restaurant was not open. We had absolutely no water our first night there and ran into another guest that had the same problem, we tried calling someone but only got voicemail. Luckily, we had water bottles with us so we could brush our teeth, and we did have water in the morning so we could shower. I would have expected an apology or something because not having water is kind of a big deal. But other than these couple of things, I would highly recommend this lodge.
