Nice property, rooms were clean in the lodge. Phones go in and out when you’re in the mountains.

Thank you for the kind review! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your visit to Graves Mountain. Yes, cell service is a bit hard to get out this way, but if you are on property and connected to our WiFi and have WiFi calling on, you can still receive texts and calls through most of our property. We hope to have you come and visit us again! The GML Team

The staff was excellent friendly, helpful and we enjoyed staying there. We did not eat at the restaurant as we were in the area for a function. The rooms were rustic which was what we were expecting and the view spectacular. The only areas that were a tad bit disappointing were the grounds of the orchard, store, and extended areas were rundown. I believe that bouncing from the pandemic may have hit a little hard. The place and the people were definitely worth a revisit and I pray the extended grounds get face lift.

For the prices and location, you would expect this property to be pristine but it seems like it’s not very well upkept, needing to be modernized and really isn’t very convenient at all. If you sty here, bring everything you need to be comfortable with you and you’ll have a pretty good experience.

Mountain views with rocking chairs
The hotel is in the mountains. It has a great view of other mountains in the distance. Nice rocking chairs are in front of the porch of all the guest rooms. The rooms are large and very clean.

The property is excellent. Lots to do! The room was clean and nice. Area is quiet. We ate breakfast which was excellent and dinner which was ok. The wait staff was forgetful (plates, etc.) and would walk right past you as you waited to be seated. They were young and perhaps could use more training. The staff was not very friendly with the exception of one lady who we saw at breakfast! She was wonderful! Very personable! After we were served the waitstaff disappeared. All in all a great place for families, great pool and an endless list of things to do!

It was nice albeit a bit outdated and very basic. The buffet was pricey and was not restocked frequently. The main lodge has lost much of its appeal and seemed very cluttered. I hope they update the place and offer more some day excursions or something more than some basic one pagers for things to do in the area.

I love the customer service and the quietness of the area. It was beautiful. I had a waitress named Ashley who was very sweet and provide information about the area as well as various trails that me and my girlfriend were able to enjoy. Beautiful place. The only hiccup is there were a lot of these little stink bugs but we were in the forest, sooooooo....

This was my second stay here and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Accommodations are modest but clean and the views are amazing. Many breweries, wineries within a 30 minute drive- most less. On site hiking that can actually go into the Shenandoah Mountains if you have the stamina. Great couple spot- fantastic family spot- a little slow this time of year but many Holiday events in the area. I especially love the fire pits outside most of the lodges where guests gather.

A nice stay
Cabin was comfortable. It could have been cleaner. Under the sink in kitchen and bathroom were disgusting. There was plenty of hot water and the beds were comfortable, which is what matters most. The office staff were wonderful and friendly. The restaurant staff, not so much. The buffet was okay. We loved the little store down the street! Best breakfast sandwiches and coffee!

We loved being out in the heart of the country surrounded by mountains. We felt very welcomed and so cosy. The rooms were clean, well stocked with plenty of soaps, towels and an added addition was the cute towel bear on the bed. Beds were comfortable and heat worked well. We arrived at around 6.30pm & there was live music, and a firepit at the main lodge with cornhole boards. The price to eat at the buffet restaurant was a little out of our price range so had to dash down to the deli as we were told it closed at 7pm but when we got there it only closed at 9pm. Had the best chicken salad sandwich there! The only negetives were that We struggled to get into our room, key unlocked fine but latch was a battle to open, took us about 5 min to eventually get it open, then left it ajar when unloading our car. Also when we went to check out at 6.45am the office did not open until 7.30am so had to wait. Finally had to give the keys to one of the restaurant workers. Would have been nice to have a lockbox outside to put them in for those checking out early. We would definitely stay here again and found it much better than staying in a busy town. Lots of farm activities for kids to do and beautiful surroundings.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're happy you had a good experience overall. We are working on updates as we can throughout the year. Our office hours are 7:30am to 10pm and we do offer a contactless checkout so you can leave your keys in the room and settle your invoice the evening before you leave. Our market will sometimes stay open past their regular closing if they are super busy - the front office doesn't always know when they do this. We look forward to your next visit and are happy you'll come back.
