Awesome Stay!
My husband and I stayed at Lydia Mountain Lodge in the Wild & Free Room. Everything was great from the beginning of our stay with Josh, dinner at Bear Appetite, to the scenic view of the mountains from our room. We are certain to return very soon!!!!!

Lovely relaxing weekend getaway
We just loved the lodge, such a beautiful design with wonderful charming details inside as well, loved the fireplace upper lobby to relax by the fire.
The staff was so friendly and helpful getting a fire started for us. The restaurant was great and the staff very friendly as well. The porch hammocks and view was also just great! The room decor and detail was adorable, we just loved the theme. The memory foam mattress was a little firm for our taste but overall really just an amazing time and cozy getaway to unwind and get away. I only didn't do 5 stars for guest service b/c sometimes staff were scarce, but we were there when it was slower/less full. I am sure if we really needed something urgent it would have been easy to find someone. We will surely be back again!

What an amazing Stay
We had such an amazing stay at Lydia Mountain Lodge! We arrived after snow the day before and it was absolutely beautiful! After we checked in, we went to the common room and they built us a fire and brought us popcorn which was extremely thoughtful and nice! Amazing views and a comfortable room, we couldn't have asked for more! Thank you all so much for a wonderful stay, and we WILL be back!

We are looking forward to come back
Many compliments to the team at Lydia Mountain that made our stay so cozy. We liked everything about our short stay, even before we entered our room, because we found the distance from Shenandoah NP (our main point of interest in the area during the weekend) and the check-in/out system extremely convenient. The coziness and the cleanliness of the room were just perfection after a day of hiking in the cold, and walking barefeet on the tall and well-kept carpet was just as cozy. The room was a bit on the hot side, but the heater was easily adjustable, so that wasn't a big deal. We appreciated the architectonic choice of placing the corridor that gives access to the rooms on the parking lot side, so that the view of the mountains can be enjoyed from every room. Although we had dinner in the cute restaurant in the lodge, we found very convenient to have a fridge and a microwave in the room. The bathroom was clean and well stocked with towels (not many other essentials thought). One minor suggestion would be to add a couple of hangers for the shower towels. Last, but not least, the decorations in the room! Wow! The attention to detail is outstanding without being "too much". We enjoyed every single detail and we can't wait to show photos of the room to friends and family. Now we are genuinely curious to stay in a different room to check their differnt decorations. Thank you and keep up the good work at such an affordable price, please!

bathroom
Need better lighting in the bathroom, very difficult to apply make-up because of low light.

Wonderful stay in a gorgous setting
I love this Lodge. We celebrated our 27th anniversary by watching the sunrise from our balcony. The room did not disappoint, it was romantic and well-appointed. Joshua at the front desk suggested the Layfatte Inn for a special dinner and a few vineyards. The Bear Appetite had the best breakfast (Literally the best bacon I have ever eaten.) and a solid dinner with an amazing view. Even though it was March and still a bit chilly, we were able to sit outdoors thanks to the heaters. The property is a work in progress in the best possible way. The personal touches of the builder (who was also our waiter one evening) are all around and ingenious. I feel like we got in on the ground floor of something incredible.
