Centrally located in Shenandoah National Park, Big Meadow Lodge is a fantastic launch pad for all the activities the park has to offer, providing a stellar landing pad every night. Close to trails, programming every day, and friendly staff. We had a great stay and would recommend to all!

I plan to stay here every year while traveling north (my 4th stay) - 2 nights this visit. I have to call the reservations desk directly to ask for a terrace room which I prefer in the main lodge. Traveling solo I prefer the convenience and safety. Check-in fast and friendly staff. Hit or miss with terrace rooms but this time had an end unit so very quiet. There are no tv, phones, mini fridges, microwaves etc - relax! Had a fan (good) and iron was in the room but no ironing board (not that i needed one). Keuring machine was a treat but only worked the 1st day and then would not the next-So had to buy the expensive 'starbucks' coffee in the main lodge. I do not eat there because the choices are very pricey. Occasionally I'll get a pizza from the tap room downstairs. Wifi was better this year than before but usually have to sit in lodge if you need to access. Very comfy, relaxing, great views, wonderful hiking - just luv it here. Will be back!

Big Meadows Lodge and the Big Meadow area was our favorite part of Shenandoah National Park. Our room was very clean. We had a wonderful view of the sunset from our balcony. We went to the Wayward area to watch the summer solstice moonrise. We hiked the trail behind the lodge. Just a very quiet and relaxing place.

The location, staff and room were all perfect for our trip to Shenandoah National Park with our dog. The room was very clean and comfortable. The bed and pillows were just what we needed after a day of exploring! The dining facilities and menu were a nice surprise, food was very !!

If you like a rustic experience -- this is the place to stay. The staff is friendly and helpful. The hot water shower was an initial problem, but it was fixed during the stay. I chose this one because it has easy access to all the trails in the middle of Skyline Drive.
