Our room in Appledore lodge was in horrible shape. My wife is covered in bites from insects in the bedding. Hotel management is insisting it wasn't bedbugs, but we found bugs and carcasses of some type. When mattresses were flipped for inspection, we found disgusting stains on the mattress protector. Rather than replace, they had flipped the most disgusting side to the bottom. Luck of the draw, I suppose, but I wouldn't trust other rooms. Management has apologized for the state of the room and says they were processing refunds. Additionally, dining room menu is set at top quality restaurant prices but the food is very subpar and understaffed crew cannot provide good service. Stay down the mountain. The concessionaire, Delaware North, is damaging the National Park Service's reputation.

Skyland exceeded my expectations. The staff made sure I was set up well, and they cared about the experiences I was having in the area. I even came back to one staff member to let them know I made it through Old Rag's rock scramble on a wet day just fine. The dining experience allows you to build camaraderie with other hikers that you see at meals during the week. My room was in Bushytop and was very quiet and peaceful, while still maintaining modern conveniences like soap, shampoo, numerous electrical outlets, etc. Skyland in within about 10 miles of many of Shenandoah's major hikes, which I took full advantage of.

First room we stayed in was wheel chair accessible. this was my mistake when i booked it but the bed was horrible, and the pillows were like rocks. The heater/ AC unit in the room did not work properly. they did change our room without hesitation. However, it was still not what we were expecting, and the pillows were still awful. Breakfast was not worth eating Dinner was tolerable. The view once clear was stunning #donotrecommend

Very convenient location along skyland drive. Short drives to many trailheads. The back porch on my room had a great view of the mountains/sky at sunset. The on-site bar/restaurant was a solid option with a good variety - good impossible burger. Room cleanliness/quality was not reflective of the ~$300 night all-in price. HVAC was very loud which is unfortunately necessary because you the windows are inoperable. Heater in the bathroom was rusted beyond belief and inoperable. Main issue on cleanliness was a blood stained pillow that the cleaning people just put a new pillow case on (noticable through the cover). I'm not sure I'd stay here again in a "premium" unit.

Beautiful area. Food was very good at both the lodge and motel. A bit pricey. Ask for the chil’s menu for smaller portions. Unfortunately it was foggy so not much to see from our room. Room was just ok. Nothing spectacular for the price we paid. No microwave. Bed mattress was flimsy. Room was clean.

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.
