"Been here several times and it's always wonderful. On the surface, it's a nicely appointed motor lodge or cabin, but it's the whole situation that makes it incredibly special. Big Meadows sits on the edge of a mountain, with a view into the Shenandoah Valley. There is a restaurant with a stunning view right from the dining room, a grill, and pub, all of which have different food, and you can walk out right from there on a number of hikes. A quick drive along Skyline Drive will bring you to several other iconic hikes of all difficulty levels, and many excellent views right from the road. Watching the fog roll up the mountains and through the trees around the lodge is magical. The one thing to be aware of is that the bathrooms are pretty basic and the water pressure is meh. But the ambiance and location can't be beat."

"The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was well maintained and beautiful."

"Breakfast is so bad and i also found hair on the food"

"Great location to explore the Shenandoah mountains . Lots of shops and eateries."

"The outside needed fresh paint, current paint was peeling off all over. Outside grounds also needed new landscaping. Rooms were outdated, toilet had stains, carpets were worn out."

"Great location right outside of Luray for an affordable price. Very quiet and easy to check in. We called and got our door code and we were in earlier than our check-in time. The rooms had clearly been remodeled recently with updated flooring, paint, furniture, etc. The sheets and towels were lacking though. It doesn't seem like they upgraded the towels since they upgraded the rooms. Very thin, very small. The door that connected to another room had a very wobbly doorknob which made it feel unsafe between rooms, but I wasn't overly concerned. Liked that there was a mini fridge with a freezer, microwave, and small single coffee machine. We had the 2 bedroom suite at the very end, so we had plenty of space for the 4 of us. We were only there one night so we didn't use anything else on the property, but it seemed ok and better than the hotels we passed in the area!"

"Room was spacious, clean and bed was comfortable. The breakfast at the restaurant was the highlight of my stay. So yummy. I'll definitely be staying there again."

"Perfect!"

"First room had many flying insects. Second room was fine clean and reasonably well maintained for a no-frills three star."
