I've been going to Skyland for the past 25 years, and always felt I was getting my money's worth and more. Great place for family vacations and great meals in the lodge dining room. I returned this weekend after new management apparently took over last year. The rates have increased well above the value of a stay in one of... More

Skyland is not for everybody. It is like a step back in time. I will admit my first time there caught me unprepared for what I found. No phone in the room, no TV, no air conditioner. That was more than 25 years ago. Skyland is treasure sitting right there on the top of the mountain, overlooking the beautiful Shenandoah... More

While the word resort can mean many things this fits into the typical national park definition of somewhat Spartan. The area and views afforded are resort quality but the amenities are Spartan. That said it is nice to have somewhere to stay that has less luxury but more great natural beauty. The room we stayed in had a great view... More

My husband & I stayed at Skyland for our late-spring honeymoon trip. Although we loved our room, the Main Office and Dining Services will probably prevent us from returning to Skyland. We loved our room (Raven's Nest) which seemed clean & felt both comfy and spacious, even if overpriced. (Of course, we also loved the Park; so many trails!) Unfortunately,... More

Keep in mind that the reason you've come is for the breathtaking scenery, access to exceptional recreational activities and countless wildlife viewing opportunities - don't be fooled by the word "resort." Skyland is rustic, no frills lodging with limited amenities and the occasional spider and millipede! You may or may not have a tv in your room (we did -... More

I enjoyed my stay at the Skyland Resort. We were in the lodge and the view from our balcony was fantastic. It is rustic with their panelled walls, but the room was clean and the beds comfy. Also, we were treated to a buffet for both dinner and breakfast and both were yummy. The pina colada at dinner was delicious.

Since, there are very few choices of food in Shenandoah valley and this is the first dining place when you enter the Skyline drive after visiting the Luray Caverns, this is the most obvious choice for people to replenish themselves during the lunch time, and that's exactly what we did. First of all there was a huge anaconda snake like... More

We had a recent stay at the resort for a family wedding. Basically you're a captive audience for the one dining room in the resort. We had a large party (12) and had to wait over 2 hours for our food! Then the food was marginal and actually bad in some cases to the point of sending items back. Supposedly... More

This lodge is the place to stay if you want great hiking nearby and excellent views from your room. The staff are helpful when it comes to questions about hikes, but not very helpful with much else. I've stayed here twice and would do so again because you can literally watch the sunset from your room, the food is good... More
