Just by the Skyland amphitheater is a building, on the top of an incline, facing west to Luray down below. There are four rooms here all with this breathtaking view made all the more gorgeous as the sun travels overhead and changes the color of the world below. At night, the stars are so vibrant that they can be seen while laying in bed. In the evening, the sunset is such an explosion of color it paints the walls. But in the early morning hours as the sun rises, it climbs on the other side of the mountain and slowly, gently, spreads over the valley floor. On this particular morning, it was below freezing and fog spread out through the valley, looking like a white ocean with waves that billowed and changed. The sun slowly burned away the fog, exposing a frost-covered land, and for a moment it felt like we were viewing the depths of a snowflake.

If you go to Skyland Resort in Shenandoah, spend the extra bucks for a good room with a view. Nearly all rooms overlook this valley in some way, but we splurged for a king bed and were so lucky to see this sight every morning with a warm cup of coffee in hand.

Mimslyn Inn Historic Hotels Of America

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable as well. The bathroom was a bit small but the deep tub was great for soaking. We would definitely come back as it felt like home away from home. As a side note* the food at The Speakeasy was terrible. We got the prime rib and it was terrible! "

Quality Inn Shenandoah Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome place. Loved it a lot especially for the price. Great breakfast but did wish there was scambled eggs. Did see other customers ask for it as well. Really love that the place is secure and getting renovated! Keep up the good work on improvement! I will be coming here every month for business"
