What a fantastic stay! The only problem was I couldn't stay longer! The cabin was clean, pet friendly, and steps away from trails and the lodge with a gift shop, dining room and taproom. A quick walk to the Blackrock Trail viewing point at sunset is a must see!

The Lodge is exactly what you expect as you pull up. The Staff were extremely accommodating giving us tips and suggestions. The rooms lol lol have NO TV so you have to talk with each other. We liked the Lodge.

Perfect place to stay in the mountains. Casual mountain lodge overlooking the beautiful Shenandoah area! They had a restaurant we got dinner and breakfast at and the food was good, the tap room was fun to have a drink, play games, and listen to music, had a big fireplace in the main lobby area to hang around, and a perfect location for hiking. The only negative was that our room did not have hot water in the sink - it was completely off, so the water pressure was very low. Outside of that, it is a great place!

The staff and everyone was incredibly helpful, the food in the dining room was delicious for all 3 meals, our room was cozy and comfortable, a great stay all around. Only complaint is the small shower head, but that’s ok, it was still an amazing stay, and I will definitely be returning in the future.
