"The cabin was perfectly clean and the staff was very friendly. The grounds were immaculate too! I can't remember if it was in the instructions or not, but be sure to bring blankets or comforters.

Mimslyn Inn Historic Hotels Of America

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice."

Big Meadows Lodge

8/10 Good

"This lodging was clean and comfortable. Quiet and restful. A bit rustic, with fairly hard beds. But nothing beats waking up to the beauty of a National Park right outside your door."

Skyland

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay- the property is right on Skyline Drive- so convenient! The room was clean and very basic- nothing fancy or upscale about this property- something you would expect from a lodge within the Shenandoah National Park"

Hillside

8/10 Good

"The place was clean and welcoming, however it is not worth the $200 a night cost. No breakfast offered for that price and it was just a small B flat room with a TV that didn’t get normal channels. It was a Saturday during football season and we had to watch the games via YouTube or on our iPad. Not impressed at all."

Cardinal Inn

"This was an older motel, but had been updated and freshened up. It was clean and comfortable. Good location. Adequate for a one night stay."
