“Beautiful Vistas”
+This lodge affords beautiful vistas and reasonably appointed rooms. Park service is friendly and helpful. The dining is not gourmet, but it is very good. Have returned many times and will do so again.

“A great mountain adventure”
+Big meadows Lodge was great. Very clean and all of the staff members were friendly and helpful. If it weren’t for the drive up the mountain, I’d go again!😳😂

“No Good.”
+We chose Big Meadows Lodge because we had stayed there many years ago and because we happened to be there for dinner and decided to stay the night since they had availability. We had not had opportunity to check out ratings on Trip Advisor. First of all, I would suggest that you ask to see the room before paying for it. The reason I gave this room (Room # 23) only a poor rating is because, unfortunately this room just doesn't even come up to an average room. (I'm comparing this to the many places we have stayed.) The bed was very comfortable but the room and bathroom had probably not been updated since the lodge was built. It was fairly clean, as clean as you can get something that old. We didn't even use the shower, but it was dripping all the time. The toilet roll holder came off as soon as I used it. Yes, the lodge is in a beautiful area and we enjoyed the delicious dinner in the dining hall, and the beautiful out doors and even spent all evening in the beautiful rustic lodge with the beautiful fireplace. Rustic is nice but this room was way beyond rustic. This room was in the main lodge and seemed to be kind of all by itself in an area where the workers seemed to be, as most of

“Great experience at Big Meadows Lodge”
+We had a great experience at Big Meadows Lodge. Located right in the middle of Skyline Drive, so close to hiking, the only gas station, and a great meadow for stargazing. We loved our room, which had a fireplace. The food in the dining room was great and we also enjoyed the Tap Room, and hike on the property to watch the sunset. The staff was excellent - very friendly and professional. Great experience all around.

“Cabin experience at Big Meadows was so so”
+The cabins at Big Meadows Lodge are quaint and situated next to a short walk to some beautiful scenery. However, we could NOT get the heat in our cabin to work well, so we spent much of the night freezing. Also, we were unable to access any Wi-Fi in the cabin during our visit.

“Great get-away from DC.”
+Great getaway from the hustle and bustle of DC. Loved the trails, and the views were breathtaking. Very comfortable rooms, but don't expect internet anywhere but in the lodge. This encouraged us to put our phones away and explore more.

“Big Meadows Lodge was great!”
+I stayed at Big Meadows Lodge for two nights as part of a solo East Coast road trip. My accommodations were very comfortable and I had both dinner and breakfast in the dining room. The food was excellent and the service was fantastic. The entire staff was very welcoming and helpful. I would definitely stay at Big Meadows again in the future.
