We went for a quick getaway, and are already planning a longer trip back with our kids. The staff were so helpful (we forgot all our toiletries) and the setting was gorgeous. It’s a lodge in a national park, not a luxury retreat in Aspen, so accommodations fit the setting, but all in all we were really happy. The only ding is that the mattress wasn’t *great* but we were fine.

Beautiful Mountain views from our room.

The thanksgiving dinner was delicious and plentiful

Needs updating

The location can't be better

Very foggy today visibility less

This is a national park. Although the Skyland Lodge looked like a log cabin the amenities were perfect, king size bed, walk in shower, heat, and air conditioning..There was a restaurant close by as well well as A gift shop, and an electric charging station Which was convenient for charging ourTesla. The room as well as all the facilities were spotless. The scenery was breathtaking. I would highly recommend it..

Typical, old park hotel. Somewhat updated, could be cleaner but Nov. is the end of the season and some areas are in need of repair and attention. The bedding was firm and the pillows were terribly hard. The heaters worked and there was plenty of hot water. The location was outstanding as were the views, the large fireplaces were working and it was cozy. The restaurant and bar were dated, but the food was good and the service was great. Live music Thursday - Saturday night.

Friendly staff

WE love shenandoah and have visited a number of times over the years. Although our room was huge, the lightning is the room was inadequate. We could not read the settings on the heater or coffee machine. The fan on the heater was noisey all night, No phone to call for service

Nice room, recently updated. Lovely view.

The king room was horrible the paper thin mattress was sitting on a metal frame & had plastic mattress pad cover so every time you moved you felt like you were on an air mattress!! I’ve learned my lesson using a third party booking hotels always gives them the worst rooms they have !!

All around great

The property is very old. We were supposedly given the most premium room where the room had no phones to connect to the reception. The heater did not work and in-fact on a cold chilly night on a mountain the air conditioning was switched on making it impossible to sleep. We could no way change the temperature setting. No water in rooms. I would request partial refund for my stay

The food in the dining room borders on deplorable. Nothing on the menu comes anywhere close enough in taste and quality to justify the price tag. Very, very disappointing. Get a better vendor.

Good property inside the national park

room is good, food is good, everything is perfect!

View

This was clean and nice enough but just know this is more like an older cabin accommodations with a hotel layout. Linens were fresh, surfaces were clean; it’s just all rustic. Which is fine, you’re in a National park! The rooms are spread out across several buildings. Each building probably had 8-10 rooms, which you access by driving to your building/cabin, plenty of parking, then walking up your door to access the room. The lodge will be walkable depending on the cabin. All of the cabins had great views and really makes the rustic and outdated aspect worth it.

Bring back the old menu Especially the turkey dinnet

I stayed in a lovely cabin in the woods. And it was exactly that nothing more nothing less.… The scenery is absolutely exquisite. The staff was phenomenal. The room was a cabin in the woods. Not luxury, but I knew it wasn’t when I booked it. Got the job done. I wish there were better locks though…

We enjoyed our stay at Skyland. The rooms were nice and the food in the dining room was very good. The lodge was in close proximity to some hiking trails. Big Meadow Lodge dining was also good.

Food at Skyland is not very good and too expensive for what you get. Having said that, we have been here many times over the years and probably will continue to come back.

Awesome Weekend at Skyland

We had a great trip at Skyland and Shenandoah in general! The resort felt like upscaled camp, the food was good and the views were incredible. Our room was nice and had a little balcony, but the bathroom could use some updating. The location couldn't be beat!

Very nice stay on the mountain in the park.

We really liked the room and the area in which Skyland is situated. It is scenic and beautiful. It is a nice place to get away from it all. Our room had a balcony in which to look out over the mountains beyond. The only drawback for us was the room was hot. It was nice to come into a warm room when we arrived at 9 PM and 40 degree weather outside, but the heater worked too well. We reduced the room temp to 66 degrees and it was still too warm through the night.

Beautiful setting and views! The rooms are in poor condition for the price. I do not require 5 star accommodations but I feel like it was very over priced.

This lodge is located inside the park and has excellent access to the trails and vistas in the park especially if you want to do hiking. Room was wood panel for an old school feel, bathroom was modern. Room had a balcony which was beautiful to hear the wind in the trees and relax after a long day on the road. Would stay again

The facilities are quite nice! Well-kept, convenient parking, satisfactory restaurant with supplemental outdoor seating, and lovely gift shop. Great views from the restaurant. There are cabins at the parking level and others that you walk to below the main level. Short drive to various hiking spots. We were able to get in a solid hike on each of 2 days with a one night stay. Plan to day hike and just hit the restaurant for a meal and blackberry ice cream very soon!

Unique & memorable in the Shenandoah area. Resort in high in the clouds!

Cabin room was nice with gorgeous view. Location is best feature (just about middle of park).

Nice environment. Great location

.

Wonderful Shenandoah National Park accommodations reminiscent of times-gone-by! Love the old time warmth the lodge provides with it's cozy pine clad sitting rooms, the expansive floor to ceiling views, and rustic stone fireplaces. Amazing access to breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and wonderful hiking trails that intertwine with the Appalachian Trail. Amazing experience all around!

Lukwed that it was central in the park with an easy accesd. I wish there was a quick serve dining option.

Skyland is a great place to stay if you wish a home base in the park. Even with a 12 hour electrical outage (thanks Helene), we had a good time.

We only stayed one night, but our stay was great! The staff were so friendly and helpful with info on the park. The room was very clean and comfortable. Definitely will stay there again!!

The location was great for access to many hiking trails. The area of the lodge was clean and quiet with excellent views from the room balcony, and Skyland restaurant. The staff was very friendly and professional. Definitely a plus to stay inside the park!

We had a one night stay at Skyland. Sadly, the area was socked in with fog so we were unable to see any of the beautiful vistas Skyland has to offer. We enjoyed a delicious meal in the charming dining room. All of the staff we interacted with were courteous and friendly. Our room was nicely appointed with a balcony to take in the views ( or misty fog lol). The bed was adequate but the plastic liner beneath the sheets was slippery and bothersome. We would love to visit again to see more (hopefully!) of the natural beauty of the area and do some hiking.

Excellent experience in an amazing location.

Great property

Our room in Appledore lodge was in horrible shape. My wife is covered in bites from insects in the bedding. Hotel management is insisting it wasn't bedbugs, but we found bugs and carcasses of some type. When mattresses were flipped for inspection, we found disgusting stains on the mattress protector. Rather than replace, they had flipped the most disgusting side to the bottom. Luck of the draw, I suppose, but I wouldn't trust other rooms. Management has apologized for the state of the room and says they were processing refunds. Additionally, dining room menu is set at top quality restaurant prices but the food is very subpar and understaffed crew cannot provide good service. Stay down the mountain. The concessionaire, Delaware North, is damaging the National Park Service's reputation.

Loved the convenience of being close to trails and meals

Skyland exceeded my expectations. The staff made sure I was set up well, and they cared about the experiences I was having in the area. I even came back to one staff member to let them know I made it through Old Rag's rock scramble on a wet day just fine. The dining experience allows you to build camaraderie with other hikers that you see at meals during the week. My room was in Bushytop and was very quiet and peaceful, while still maintaining modern conveniences like soap, shampoo, numerous electrical outlets, etc. Skyland in within about 10 miles of many of Shenandoah's major hikes, which I took full advantage of.

Best place for a very quiet weekend

Our server Eli was outstanding! The view from our cottage was beautiful!

In spite of poor weather there were other activity options

We love the park and Skyland is beautiful, dining was good, servers friendly. We had some bugs in bathroom and I have bite marks, not sure from what.

This is an awesome place right inside the park. An old CCC hotel that is charming and worth the stay. Excellent location and great staff.

First room we stayed in was wheel chair accessible. this was my mistake when i booked it but the bed was horrible, and the pillows were like rocks. The heater/ AC unit in the room did not work properly. they did change our room without hesitation. However, it was still not what we were expecting, and the pillows were still awful. Breakfast was not worth eating Dinner was tolerable. The view once clear was stunning #donotrecommend

Absolutely love it despite the poor weather.

Very convenient location along skyland drive. Short drives to many trailheads. The back porch on my room had a great view of the mountains/sky at sunset. The on-site bar/restaurant was a solid option with a good variety - good impossible burger. Room cleanliness/quality was not reflective of the ~$300 night all-in price. HVAC was very loud which is unfortunately necessary because you the windows are inoperable. Heater in the bathroom was rusted beyond belief and inoperable. Main issue on cleanliness was a blood stained pillow that the cleaning people just put a new pillow case on (noticable through the cover). I'm not sure I'd stay here again in a "premium" unit.

Beautiful area. Food was very good at both the lodge and motel. A bit pricey. Ask for the chil’s menu for smaller portions. Unfortunately it was foggy so not much to see from our room. Room was just ok. Nothing spectacular for the price we paid. No microwave. Bed mattress was flimsy. Room was clean.

Cant wait to go back.

room not ready. no bathroom for 2 days.

Had an excellent view and room was clean and bed was comfortable

During our stay there was a lot of rain. We discovered oin our 2nd night that the roof/ceiling was leaking onto our desk area under the TV...dripping every 3-4 seconds. Fortunately, we had our clothes in our suitcases elsewhere.

Skyland is my favorite place in Shanendoah. The park itself is a national treasure. This lodge has been updated and some rooms refurbished. Bring your hiking boots, great trails are literally around the corner. An ADA compliant trail is within a mile of the lodge.

Beautiful place we absolutely loved it.

It was very nice and the views were beautiful.

You stay at Skyland for the location. What once must have been a gem in the Skyline Drive route, is now a bit worn. Food is nice but basic and on the high end of average prices. Room was not very clean but views were great. Easy access for a short trail walk from the cabins. Horse riding on site. Entertainment on certain days. Resort is well spread out and even though there seemed plenty of guests, it never felt busy.

Beautiful views

Clean and everyone very helpfull

Not what we expected based on the Orbitz website. Our room was disappointing. The Air Handler was noisy and the Bed creaked with every movement. The staff was very friendly and helpful. All-in-all the place needs more TLC and refreshing. Probably should disclose that there is an Entrance Fee to get onto the Skyline Drive, which is the only way to access Skyland.

Very nice lodging right inside the park!

Great place to stay for hiking near by. Staff were wonderful! Very clean cabin. Only certain rooms have a frig so ask ahead. Only family units have a microwave. Very good food at restaurant.

Excellent place for a peaceful getaway!

We have stayed at Skyland a handful of times. Different rooms have differing views and it seems to be luck of the draw, but the surrounding area is always peaceful. We especially enjoyed dark skies viewing from the porch in the late PM. There were many food options at the lodge (dining room, tavern, grab and go), but no fridge in the room, so plan your meals ahead of time!

Property is a 20 minute walk away from the office. Office staff is friendly, but room service was so so - there is no daily room cleaning, and after we requested them to change the bedding they left the door unlocked with our suite case inside. There are two EV charging spot near the office only; charging the car means you'll need to do a 20-minute walk to your room; further more the number of EV charging spot is a joke and is almost always occupied. Other national park lodges (such as grand canyon) have much more spot in much more convenient spots.

We had a great stay in Skyland. The location is superb and the room (we stayed in premium room) was very clean and equipped with all required amenities. The staffs were very courteous. The on-site restaurant was also very good. Although the options were limited but considering the location it was just fine and the food was very tasty. Overall a highly recommended place.

Convenient with Great Service

The bedding was not great. The mattress pad was rubber/plastic. It did not stay on the bed.

Nice clean room and great location. Recommend the stay.

Great area with great fresh nature smells in the back porch. Super friendly staff too.

It's in the middle of the Skyline Drive, and amongst the Shenandoah mountains. Beautiful view. Close to dozens of hiking trails.

Great location. Clean room. Check in was convenient and staff were lovely. Restaurant food was good and can’t beat the view. Even has a mini Starbucks!

This stay was a major major letdown, I'd booked to stay for 3 nights for some R&R during our two-week holiday which was otherwise about being constantly on the go. Having previously really enjoyed our stay in Yellowstone National Park where all the facilities are run by the National Park Service and the staff were friendly and engaging, Delaware North are the complete opposite, and should, frankly, hang their heads in shame. Our accommodation was not only some distance, but also down an extremely steep hill from the restaurant / coffee stand / shop, the drive to this was only explained on arrival. Yes, the map is on their website, but it's 2D with no explanation that the accommodation is actually on many different levels. There were no safes in the rooms, this meant I had to carry our passports everywhere so they could not get stolen. Reception didn't seem to understand my surprise at the lack of security. The rooms were dark everywhere, dark walls, floors, ceilings, and surrounded by trees not being cut effectively to allow any light into the properties. We arrived on the Thursday, on Friday the espresso machine broke and wasn't fixed by the time we left on the Sunday, so no opportunity to get a decent coffee. The restaurant menu was extremely limited, we ran out of options by our last night so had to repeat what we ate. Finally when I checked out, the lady asked if everything with our stay was OK, when I said no and tried to explain I could tell she was not listening.

Absolutely gorgeous stay. The view is incredible and the grounds are so peaceful. Love the little trails from our room to the main dining area. Stayed for my sisters wedding and excited to come back to enjoy just as a vacation. There was a permanent box structure in the middle of the aisle where my sister walked down the aisle. She had to walk around it which was a bummer. Would recommend finding a way to change the layout of the aisle so brides can get a full “walking down the aisle” experience without having to accommodate a giant 3’x5’ box blocking the aisle. Just a suggestion.

Beautiful place. Restaurant is noce, not as good as it used tp be. Trees have grown blocking .oet views.

Close to many good hiking trails.

It is a very comfy, spacious room near an excellent restaurant.

Skyland is just a breath of fresh air

Beautiful scenic location. Room could have been a little cleaner.

Beautiful view, quiet setting. The beds were comfortable. The room was basic but nice; however, the bathroom urgently needs an update.

Great location. Wish we were able to stay longer and enjoy the park more. Definitely coming back!

Very comfortable. It was reasonable in off season.

Skyland is rustic but quaint and scenic. The rooms could use a little updating but ours was clean and comfortable. The restaurant is fantastic and the service there is excellent. We also enjoyed the tap room and gift shop and the staff was pleasant.

Great family stay in the mountains!

Beautiful view

Such a beautiful little place to stay at . It was very peaceful and the view was amazing !!

An incredible stay in the park. The look of an older cabin with modern amenities. It was great waking up with a cup of coffee on the porch with views of the skyline.

Best place to stay in Shenandoah national park.

👍

Beautiful surroundings, great food!

Late check in

Late check in at 4:40. The room was not ready at 4:pm.

Very clean cabin, quiet, all amenities in good working order.

Love the drive and staying at Skyland this time was a really nice treat.

I booked a premium room with a mountain view .. no interior lock on door .. no mountain view .. view obstructed with overgrown trees .. so disappointing paid for something I didn’t get .. over priced .. no ..

Accomodation in the recently remodeled suite were great!

I really enjoyed my stay here, the check in and check out was so easy and quick. The room was easy to find and it looked really good. The view and the area around is fantastic. Can't wait to come back.

No AC very old facility

Great area and views

beautiful environment with fresh mountain smell and easy access to all trails
