Skyland Guest Houses

Just by the Skyland amphitheater is a building, on the top of an incline, facing west to Luray down below. There are four rooms here all with this breathtaking view made all the more gorgeous as the sun travels overhead and changes the color of the world below. At night, the stars are so vibrant that they can be seen while laying in bed. In the evening, the sunset is such an explosion of color it paints the walls. But in the early morning hours as the sun rises, it climbs on the other side of the mountain and slowly, gently, spreads over the valley floor. On this particular morning, it was below freezing and fog spread out through the valley, looking like a white ocean with waves that billowed and changed. The sun slowly burned away the fog, exposing a frost-covered land, and for a moment it felt like we were viewing the depths of a snowflake.

If you go to Skyland Resort in Shenandoah, spend the extra bucks for a good room with a view. Nearly all rooms overlook this valley in some way, but we splurged for a king bed and were so lucky to see this sight every morning with a warm cup of coffee in hand.

Postcard Cabins Shenandoah, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

10/10 Excellent

"This was a beautiful cabin. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect but it was everything and more. We had brought a lot of supplies but it turns out we didnt really need much considering they provided all basic necessities. Showers had hot water. Everything was very clean. Easy check in and out. Very nice quiet remote area. Very comfortable and cute. "

Adorable river front cabin ,with hot tub on the River

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin was perfect for our girls weekend! I totally missed the fact that there is no wifi, but we were there to relax and disconnect from our everyday lives anyway. Watching sunsets over the river was beautiful, and the fact it was chilly enough for our swimsuits to freeze in between dips in the hot tub was HILARIOUS! The only thing we might suggest is having a map of trails that it is okay for us to walk on near the cabin, since we walked the road, but there were a lot of no trespassing signs on either side. I figured since the area had horseback and atv activities there would be more well-marked trails close by."
