Big Meadows Lodge

It was an expensive cabin in the woods. Our heater was broke and on when we arrived. It took the staff until 11:30 to get the heater shut off. The food was not worth what we paid for it. The staff was friendly.

The area was absolutely beautiful! Lodging was very cozy but the tub needed to be drained, it continually backed up.)

We love staying in the national park. Big Meadows is easy to walk to restaurant and tap room. The rooms are comfortable in the lodge.

The food was excellent--well prepared, surprisingly large quantities and a good selection of options. Unfortunately, the main dining room was quite cool in the evening which meant that I did not enjoy the meal as much as I could have. I noted that the overhead fans were going full force and there was no fire in the fireplace while the outside temperatures were dropping into the 50's and 40's rapidly. Staff in the dining hall and check in were friendly and efficient--a real plus.

Even though it rained nonstop, we enjoyed ourselves. Our room was clean, large, comfortable, and had a great balcony (that we still used, even with the rain). The dining options at the main lodge served really great food! Great beer selection too. We want to come back again.....when it's sunny and dry!

Big Meadows Lodge is in a fantastic setting in Shenandoah. The staff were friendly and helpful. It is not luxurious but very comfortable and clean. The rooms could use some refurbishing, the bathroom fixtures are a little dated but the nearby hiking and vistas are tremendous. Good food and dog friendly on the patio. Overall really liked it!

The room was nice, there was a draft coming from the windows but you kinda expect that when you stay at an old lodge. Everything was clean and good condition. The water pressure could’ve been better, no way I could’ve washed/rinsed my hair but there was plenty of hot water.

The lodge was a neat vintage building. Great brews in the lower level and great view of the valley. Bar food really very good. The food at the restaurant upstairs was decent. Amazing place to watch the sunset from the rocking chairs and balcony. And the only place we could get wifi. Our room was very rustic. No A/C, no cell service. It was clean enough - felt like we were camping. The location was great though!

The Blue Ridge Parkway and its surroundings and history are all right there at Big Meadows. A ton of hiking options, a great restaurant and beauty everywhere.
