Pond View Lodge (Second room at additional cost)

We enjoyed time spent there Positive: The view was great, the pond is really close. Negative: No way to repel insects was provided. Kitchen appliances were really old and random

Accommodations worked for our need to be in the area and bring our dogs. Beds were great and rooms were clean, water pressure and hot water in shower with 4 people was great. Grounds were interesting and peaceful and we had a bonfire one night with nearby family which was great. However, essential supplies were very limited. Started with two rolls of toilet paper for 4 people 4 days- had to resort to tissues on our final day. Had one trash bag and no directions on what to do with a full bag. Kept it in the house and used grocery bags for trash the last day and a half. There were only two small juice glasses or coffee mugs. One cereal bowl and knives that didn’t really cut. Spending about 35 on some houseware items would help much. Also did not figure out that the only tv in the back bedroom would work only if the light switch was on. A note taped on the tv would’ve solved this as we watched a sporting event in our cell phone instead. Still enjoyed the place- just needs a little refresh in some of the set up.

Perfect retreat after a long hiking day. Positive: Spacious home with beautiful nature views. The bed was extremely comfortable and we had access to a big patio to enjoy out evening while admiring the pond. Negative: N/A

Enjoyable. 20 minutes from Swift Run Gap entrance to Shenandoah National Park. Positive: Very clean and comfortable. Just what we needed. Negative: Nothing. My only suggestion would be more light in the bathroom and living room for reading.

Peaceful, relaxing, and near to everything. Will definitely be back. We definitely have the privacy we need and still being near everywhere we need to be. The drive is 30 mins to Shenandoa, 1 hr to Luray Cavern and 30 mins to Monticello. We went to winery around as well. Resort is very responsive. Our car is awd and has its own navigation so it worked out fine for us. No cellular service but wifi is great.
