I stayed here as part of a tour group back in June 2011. Our tour director seemed to be worried that we wouldn't like the place because it wasn't a 5-star establishment and didn't have all the luxuries and amenities that a 5-star establishment has. He needn't have worried. Speaking for myself, what this place lacked in 5-star amenities, it... More

A great place to stay in Blue Ridge Mountains. My wife and I have stayed there 3 times. Every time a pleasure. If you expect 5 star standard - do not stay here. If you are looking for a place which is in balance with it's surroundings - you have come to right place. The restaurant is servering a nice... More

If looking for a 5 star hotel with amenities; look elsewhere. Here you will find rustic "lodge" rooms with an incredible view in an incredible setting. Set atop the mountain along Skyline Drive you could not ask for a better location, friendlier staff or a warmer, homier place to stay. The front desk staff were delightful in setting my travel...

Okay, so we didn't stay there...not because we didn't want to. We booked about 5 days in advance of our stay. The day we were set to go, we received a call saying there had been a problem with our booking, the suite we booked was already taken. They blamed it on a staffer who was not a regular. Well,...

We stopped here for lunch on the day we drove Skyline Drive. The attentive service and nice atmosphere were quite a surprise - unexpected out in the national park "wilds". The food was good and a better value than we anticipated. The Meadows pasta was very good and a hearty portion served with bread. Quiche Lorraine was average - not... More

Skyline Drive is one of our favourite destinations and, of the available lodges, we prefer BM. Some of the rooms in the lodge are pretty small but, as ever, you get what you pay for. Best ones are the one-bedroom cabins with large fireplace and daily delivery of logs. Restaurant is OK and prices not too bad. Cheaper, home cooked... More

We always try to get away in the fall to celebrate our October wedding anniversary! This had to be one of my favorite trips. We had the cutest room in the lodge ( wood everywhere) and it was so easy to visit nearby attractions like Monticello! The scenery was beautiful everywhere you looked. This trip will stay in my heart... More

Our stay at Big Meadows Lodge was heavenly! Cozy and comfortable great room with an outstanding view. Menu in the dining room offered many great selections and every one we tried was excellent. Our waiter made the experience even more enjoyable by providing such great service. Views from the dining room were outstanding also. Our room in the lodge was... More

We went up there as a last minute decision and were able to get a room for one night. The overall experience was just great for a beautiful fall day/night. The main lodge is very cozy with a great room. The great room has huge windows looking out on the Shenandoah Valley below, big fireplace, rocking chairs, tables for games,... More
