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.

Rustic. Common areas were cozy with a good view of the mountains and a great working wood fireplace. The room was large and clean. WIFI was poor in the room but good in the lounge. TV service was sketchy. The staff was very friendly. On-site restaurant was good - large portions.

Wonderful stay! Delightful property, staff, fireplace, deck with rocking chairs and sunsets. All you could want in a National Park Lodge!

Accommodations were rustic as expected and all functional. Only the main lodge has views (no A/C for those rooms if that matters), Likely to see deer walking through the area without much concern for humans. There is a rugged climb to an outcrop for a great view of the valley nearby. Food was good (expensive as expect but not a wow) Blackberry Cobbler is the exception however.

Beautiful lodge, bathrooms were a bit dated but otherwise it had all the amenities one needs. Close to a camp store with good food options and kid friendly hikes.

Big Meadow is rustic luxury in a beautiful setting. Much like the other lodges/inns along the Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway, it offers a great place to land for a few days to hike, explore or just take in the majesty of the Shendandoah's. The rooms are comfortable set among the trees and property. The dining options are a good value. You can get breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks in a variety of ways. The people were very friendly and accommodating. It was just a terrific place to unwind and unplug (wi-fi and internet are almost non-existent in the rooms but you can catch up, if you must, in the lodge and the TV only gets 11 channels). For us, it was EXACTLY what we were looking for.

What a fantastic stay! The only problem was I couldn't stay longer! The cabin was clean, pet friendly, and steps away from trails and the lodge with a gift shop, dining room and taproom. A quick walk to the Blackrock Trail viewing point at sunset is a must see!

Perfect place to stay in the mountains. Casual mountain lodge overlooking the beautiful Shenandoah area! They had a restaurant we got dinner and breakfast at and the food was good, the tap room was fun to have a drink, play games, and listen to music, had a big fireplace in the main lobby area to hang around, and a perfect location for hiking. The only negative was that our room did not have hot water in the sink - it was completely off, so the water pressure was very low. Outside of that, it is a great place!

Really nice place to stay. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Dining was reasonably priced, short hikes nearby, and fun to watch deer in evening.

To Enron’s are more than adequate in size, the a/c worked and kept the room comfortable. It was quiet with no loud neighbors. The exhaust fan in the bathroom was extremely loud. Surely, something quieter would work just as well or separate it from the light. The restaurant meals were excellent and presented in an attractive manner and the wait staff was helpful and attentive. The taproom had a much better menu than on previous stays and was clean and reasonably well appointed. Overall, our stay was very nice and refreshing.
