Big Meadows Lodge

Big Meadows Lodge

8/10 Good
"Great location in the Shenandoah National Park with all of the hiking and other activities it has to offer. The rooms were a bit dated, but met our needs. The food was OK and a bit pricey, but the views from the dining room made eating there a great experience."
