Lodge a Stanardsville

“Fantastic place to stay while hiking in Shenandoah for a weekend with my 4-legged best friend! The restaurant there is great!”

“Beautiful lodge. Every interesting room. The mattress is horrible. My husband and I had a hard time sleeping on it and woke up numerous times. The bathroom overhead light does need to be cleaned, lots of bugs. We enjoyed the beautiful lodge and the gorgeous setting. Thank you.”

“Absolutely loved the stay! One of our favorite places for a night away. The staff is always so friendly and accommodating. Only suggestion is to make sure there are better options for the coffee station. We had no sugar and don’t care for the artificial sweeteners.”

“The Lydia Mountain Lodge was a nice surprise. We stayed 4 nights and it felt like we had the place to ourselves. It was quiet and comfortable. The mattresses were very comfy. The grounds and lodge are beautiful and fun to explore. I highly recommend!”

“This was our first time staying at the property, and overall we thoroughly enjoyed it and would consider returning. The room was very nice and clean, and the views and location were unmatched. The restaurant was also good. Our only complaint was the check-in process was odd, we did not see a single staff member the entire stay, and the “self check in” could have been explained a little better. There were also events both nights of our stay which made it very loud late into the evening. Other...

“We enjoyed our stay. However, there were a few hiccups along the way. We arrived at 5:45 and our door code did not work. I called the number listed in my email, one listed on the front door, plus texted the emergency number. It took 30 minutes to get a response. It was just a bit disconcerting to not have staff available, both to address typical needs or in case of an emergency. This also made us uncertain about overall security.”

“Restaurant not open during the week”

“Our experience when we arrived was wonderful. The staff at the front desk were very kind, the pool was nice, and my family really enjoyed the front lawn activities. We were having an enjoyable day together as a family. Our experience changed once we settled into Valley View. When we first arrived at the house, we noticed a mouse. Although this was concerning, we tried not to let it interfere with our evening as family together. When we headed downstairs where the bedrooms are located, things...

“The bed rooms were clean, as were the bathrooms. The hosts were kind and responsive. However, the 1/2 bath smelled like urine. Additionally, it was extremely noisy. The dog barked & you could hear every movement they made upstairs. The beds were also very creaky and it was drafty. ”

“Our stay at Sun Dancer was great! Everyone had comfortable sleeping arrangements. Our location to Old Rag Mountain was convenient for doing the hike. We enjoyed sitting by the fire pit at night and seeing the star filled sky. We walked the trails on the property. They were a little overgrown but still doable. We would see a mother and baby fox every day down the driveway. As much as I don't like to cut down trees, it would be nice if one of the trees in front of the house was not there. It...

“House was in good condition, everything worked as advertised. Amenities were also generous and much appreciated. ”
