Big Meadows Lodge

Perched at 3,510 feet in Shenandoah National Park, Big Meadows Lodge sits one mile from the beloved grassy Big Meadow at mile 51 on Skyline Drive. The lodge and cabin rentals occupy 10 acres of parkland and are a short drive from the Shenandoah River, Shenandoah Valley, and the Piedmont Region. Rustic mountain lodging with unbeatable views and easy access to Skyline Drive.

The property blends rustic appeal with national‑park comfort: a main lodge plus five cabins and six multi‑unit buildings offer a variety of rooms and cabin rentals. The entire interior structure, including paneling, is made from native oak and chestnut for a warm, woodsy feel, and friendly staff help guests settle in. By day you get sweeping mountain views; by night the Big Meadow becomes a perfect canvas for stargazing.

Stand-out perks are the location and views: wake up to mountain‑mist mornings, step out for meadow hikes, and enjoy spectacular stargazing after dark. Being set on 10 acres of parkland puts hiking, wildlife watching, and Skyline Drive access right at your doorstep for a nature‑focused stay.
