Nice tiny cabin, well-priced and the hot tub was amazing! So quiet and peaceful and close enough to Shenandoah NPS. I wish I had brought lots of kitchen items - specifically oil, vinegar, spices, cast iron skillet, 8x8 inch baking pan. Also wish we had bought firewood on our way in.
Very peaceful, clean, and private location. Expect to drive a little for groceries, restaurants, and exploring Shenandoah. We loved it!
AMAZING! I had my wedding here in August! Everything was perfect, the place was beautiful, and the people at Lydia Mountain were so helpful and laid back! :)
Wow what a wonderful and special place. Had lunch with friends there. Food was exceptional and service with a special smile. Had a cloudy day but views were still marvelous. Definitely worth to be on you list of places to visit. Cabins and lodge rooms available. No big trucks on way in, lol. Road on way in is an adventure. But doable.
Even on a rainy day with the cool mountain air our granddaughter 1st birthday turned out beautiful the Pavillions new enclosures are a gorgeous addition love the natural wood look and the ceiling heaters knock the chill off in minutes
Stayed at the Tucked Away cabin, 200 nature edge! Great private log cabin - super cute, well stocked. Offers some hotel-like experience with nice linen and towels that included bath robes, soap, shampoo. Cabin has a great shower, sun room / living room with a couch and TV, private hot tub, and grill. Kitchen has a well thought albeit small set of utensils and cookware and some coffee that can get you started but not take you through the stay. Road is unpaved and steep, would avoid getting there in a sport car. Good cell reception.
They have a lot of beautiful cabins all sizes and very reasonably priced, cheaper than most hotels! From old cabins with charm and just the essentials ,for those who want a more rustic experience, to beautiful and spacious luxury cabins for those who want to enjoy nature in style this is the place to go. Most cabins have a hot tub and all are equipped with dishes, pots ,pans and a lot of other things you wouldn't expect to find which is awesome. They also have some really romantic packages available for those couples who want peace and tranquility, and who want to disappear for the weekend. Tons of wineries and great restaurants close by including the lodge which also offers live music and entertainment on the weekends. Loads of other fun things to do for both family and couples. They just opened the Cornhole golf and ice cream stand which is really cool. And there are many many other things fun to do, all within reasonable distance or on the mountain itself. I have rented from Tina long term twice now and rented a cabin for a week you couldn't ask for a better landlord or host. She is caring and always respectful to everyone, and as I have seen works tirelessly to make everyone happy. She had gone above and beyond and was understanding when I was a little short one month. The rest of her staff have always been very nice to us as well! So if your looking for a beautiful mountain to get away or just need some peace and quiet with a great local feel you'll love it here it's a true gem.
We stayed three nights in the Birds and the Bees cabin for our visit to Shenandoah National Park, and we loved it! Super cute and clean, and such a peaceful backyard and surrounding area. Would definitely stay again!

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
