Crows Nest at the White Lotus Eco Spa Retreat

Positive: Everything was like a fairy tale, amazing 🤩

Wonderful experience for a peaceful stay Positive: We love the shared space- we did not use it all ! Decoration is unexpected and part of the experience ! Bedroom was fine and had a small fridge. Communal kitchen is convenient, you can also have your dinner or breakfast by the outdoor fireplace or in the large hall . Shared bathroom is fine, it seems we were the only ones to use it since most of the other rooms have their own bathroom. Very quiet , hardly saw anybody in the evening or morning (we were out all day hiking in Shenandoah) Location is great, 20 min from the Swift Run entrance to Shenandoah NP. Negative: Room lacks storage or even just hangers for your clothes. Sauna was nice (had to start it with firewood) but could have more private space to undress or hang out in the fresh air to cool off (a wood deck would be a nice addition)

The room booked, kitchen, and bathroom were dirty we turned the bed linen down on the bed only to be greeted by dirty sheets with blood spots on them. Behind the curtains we found cat feces and cat food food on the floor. the bathroom was filthy with hair in the shower and a filthy toilet. We left the next day…the grounds are beautiful at least

Misleading adventure Positive: The privacy Negative: The fact that the bathroom was separate from the room. Nobody (staff) could be reached or found to ask or answer questions. Ants in the kitchen that quickly attach to you if too close to counter tops. No signal for phone or text. Nothing else to do or go see.

We booked our stay at The Crows Nest in the Zen Barn for our 20th Anniversary! The property and the Barn are quirky and fun. The room was exactly as described. The full kitchen was a lifesaver and we enjoyed cooking and eating a leisurely breakfast each morning before heading out onto Skyline Drive to hike.The only items that could be improved were:1) The air conditioning wasn't turned down when we arrived so the room was quite hot (we were there during a very intense heat wave) and it took a few hours to cool down. 2) The kitchen and the shared bathroom needed attention. There were a lot of ants in the kitchen and the bathroom had not been cleaned before we arrived. However, when we let the owners know, the bathroom was cleaned right away.Otherwise, we had a lovely stay and enjoyed our time there very much!!!
