Driving the Skyline Road is most enjoyable. The Big Meadow Lodge affords the extra pleasure of a break, good food and a surprisingly comfortable cabin inside the Shenandoah park.

Beautiful secluded cabins in an incredible area. The walls are pretty thin, but everyone there was really quiet. Easy access to good hiking, and walking around the property itself was really cool.

Property is a gorgeous setting inside the national park. Rooms are dated but quaint. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was ok, could use an upgrade. Overall nice place with a nice dining room where our meal was good.
