We come here yearly and it is an amazing experience! The food is great and the cabins are cozy! We love hanging out in the tap room downstairs and in the main common room upstairs! We consistently go to black rock, one of our favorite points in the park and easy to get to. I love it here, my happy place. 10/10 recommend!

This was our first time at Shenandoah National Park and I am glad we chose to stay at Big Meadows Lodge. The park is pretty remote so if you are spending more than one day there staying outside the park will result in a lot of extra driving. We were in the Piedmont Cottage building in rooms 43 and 44. These are sold together as a 2 bedroom suite type room with a shared bathroom in the middle. This worked out perfectly for our family of 4. The rooms are not going to be super updated or fancy but it had everything we needed. There is a small seating area outside the room as well. This building was very close to the main lodge so it was very convenient to walk to the restaurants. We ate at the coffee shop and the main dining room and enjoyed both. Internet reception was very spotty but that should be expected. There is also a very short trail on the property that leads to a great overlook. We loved our time here and have already talked about returning.

Beautiful location and the nicest people! The park was uncrowded made for lots of fun exploration. Big Meadows Lodge had more amenities than expected. The staff really went out of their way to make sure our experience was great. First trip to Shenandoah but definitely not the last!

A fantastic step back into time with cozy rooms, a warm welcoming lodge, old time food and the BIGGEST fireplace! You will love the view from the mountain top. See the lights of distant towns down in the valley. Live entertainment at night in the downstairs pub is enjoyable as well. Also, a STARBUCKS on site! Great hiking trails and museum too!

Nicely located in the national park. A quiet atmosphere. Great place to stay for an extended visit/hiking in the park. One draw back - the lodge was built in 1939 and although it is an historic building it is in bad/big need of an historical renovation. Wood paneled walls and ceilings have been cut so many times for repairs and poorly repaired over the decades. Metal water lines for fire suppression upgrade to codes have been drilled through walls and hung from ceilings and are caked in rust. Metal caps over wiring on the walls for upgraded lighting is showing years of rust. This place could be so much more but needs so much investment in rehabilitation.
