During our stay there was a lot of rain. We discovered oin our 2nd night that the roof/ceiling was leaking onto our desk area under the TV...dripping every 3-4 seconds. Fortunately, we had our clothes in our suitcases elsewhere.

Skyland is my favorite place in Shanendoah. The park itself is a national treasure. This lodge has been updated and some rooms refurbished. Bring your hiking boots, great trails are literally around the corner. An ADA compliant trail is within a mile of the lodge.

You stay at Skyland for the location. What once must have been a gem in the Skyline Drive route, is now a bit worn. Food is nice but basic and on the high end of average prices. Room was not very clean but views were great. Easy access for a short trail walk from the cabins. Horse riding on site. Entertainment on certain days. Resort is well spread out and even though there seemed plenty of guests, it never felt busy.

Not what we expected based on the Orbitz website. Our room was disappointing. The Air Handler was noisy and the Bed creaked with every movement. The staff was very friendly and helpful. All-in-all the place needs more TLC and refreshing. Probably should disclose that there is an Entrance Fee to get onto the Skyline Drive, which is the only way to access Skyland.

Great place to stay for hiking near by. Staff were wonderful! Very clean cabin. Only certain rooms have a frig so ask ahead. Only family units have a microwave. Very good food at restaurant.

We have stayed at Skyland a handful of times. Different rooms have differing views and it seems to be luck of the draw, but the surrounding area is always peaceful. We especially enjoyed dark skies viewing from the porch in the late PM. There were many food options at the lodge (dining room, tavern, grab and go), but no fridge in the room, so plan your meals ahead of time!

Property is a 20 minute walk away from the office. Office staff is friendly, but room service was so so - there is no daily room cleaning, and after we requested them to change the bedding they left the door unlocked with our suite case inside. There are two EV charging spot near the office only; charging the car means you'll need to do a 20-minute walk to your room; further more the number of EV charging spot is a joke and is almost always occupied. Other national park lodges (such as grand canyon) have much more spot in much more convenient spots.

We had a great stay in Skyland. The location is superb and the room (we stayed in premium room) was very clean and equipped with all required amenities. The staffs were very courteous. The on-site restaurant was also very good. Although the options were limited but considering the location it was just fine and the food was very tasty. Overall a highly recommended place.

This stay was a major major letdown, I'd booked to stay for 3 nights for some R&R during our two-week holiday which was otherwise about being constantly on the go. Having previously really enjoyed our stay in Yellowstone National Park where all the facilities are run by the National Park Service and the staff were friendly and engaging, Delaware North are the complete opposite, and should, frankly, hang their heads in shame. Our accommodation was not only some distance, but also down an extremely steep hill from the restaurant / coffee stand / shop, the drive to this was only explained on arrival. Yes, the map is on their website, but it's 2D with no explanation that the accommodation is actually on many different levels. There were no safes in the rooms, this meant I had to carry our passports everywhere so they could not get stolen. Reception didn't seem to understand my surprise at the lack of security. The rooms were dark everywhere, dark walls, floors, ceilings, and surrounded by trees not being cut effectively to allow any light into the properties. We arrived on the Thursday, on Friday the espresso machine broke and wasn't fixed by the time we left on the Sunday, so no opportunity to get a decent coffee. The restaurant menu was extremely limited, we ran out of options by our last night so had to repeat what we ate. Finally when I checked out, the lady asked if everything with our stay was OK, when I said no and tried to explain I could tell she was not listening.
