This was my first visit to this park. after having a wonderful stay in Zion's lodge last year, I wanted to try something closer to home. The park was beautiful, ranger hike superb (saw a bear and 2 sets of through hikers on the Appalachian trail), and the Big Meadows visitor center was very informative about the parks history. I...

This was not my first time staying at Skyland resort and certainly won't be my last. I love the views and being in the national forest. Unfortunatley, I did get sick so I wasn't able to participate in the ranger activities as we had planned. All the hikes are great and people are friendly. I had 2 issues though, the... More

This review covers only the "Cabin Room" lodging option. Skyland Resort is located beautifully, and make sure you get a room with a view. My room did have a view, but its facilities were rather poor (I was in room 175 in the Fell cabin). It was a one room + bathroom accomodation as expected, but the furniture in the... More

Saturday night, Memorial Day weekend, no reservations, what luck! We were very fortunate to get a king bed, traditional room on the lower rim when we arrived at 6 pm. No cancellation list here; rooms are made available as cancellations come in—first come, first serve. The park concession does not accept AAA or AARP on Saturdays, but $137+ tax and... More

The trip to Shenandoah 05/16-5/20 was a special one. The weather was heavenly, the veiws tremendous and the hike awesome. My stay at Skyland was also an excellent. Althogh not my first trip here the food was better than ever especially the blackberry ice cream pie. The staff was helpful and friendly and seeing 3 bears was just icing on... More

Have stayed in Shenandoah Nat'l Park many times, mostly at Skyland Lodge. Prefer Pinnacle because it is next to the restaurant and can walk over to listen to the evening entertainment without driving or walking in the dark. Views of sunset are awesome. Rooms are rustic, which is what I want. Was able to book a horseback riding session last... More

The dining room had great food and a spectacular view of the valley below. On our way back to the room after dinner we saw a big black bear right along the path. What an experience! Also saw a mother bear and her cubs along the road as we left the next morning. The room left a lot to be... More

My stay at Skyland Resort is great. The food at the only eatery at the resort is good and surprisingly fair priced. Amenities in the room is basic but, that is the great part of it. I was fortunate in that it rained that night at the lodge. The experience falling asleep listening the the rain hitting the room is... More
