Upon arrival I was charged an additional $160 on top of an advertised price of $189 which was unexpected. We chose this location based on the pools and amenities for families, the indoor pool was under construction, and the outdoor pools and activities were closed due to heat lighting. The neighboring room was very noisy until 1am, so not the best stay like we were hoping.

We had a wonderful time in Cottage 39. We were in town for a wedding and wanted a little bit of space for our family of 4. This was the perfect spot. We didn't get to spend a lot of time on property because of wedding activities, but we did take advantage of the free mini golf as well as the outdoor and indoor pools at the lodge. The kitchen was great for making breakfasts to start our busy days. We would definitely stay here again.

This property is perfect for a family getaway; I do mean getaway as it is in a secluded out of the way location. Lots of activities…pools, tennis, basketball, mini golf, horseback riding, catch and release fishing, and a bit more. My only complaint was cabin was not as described and some activities are pricey.

The Lake is cool! The premises are beautiful. The negative was the hard sell to be a Member though we were not let in until 20 minutes after 4 pm. We also were not warned about a amenities fee when we only used the lake with our own kayak. I guess not conducive for a quick stay while in the area, and more of a resort destination. Also, the cleaning person inadvertently came in after 4:30 pm once we had already gone into the room. That was a little unnerving. No harm, no foul. Just a little awkward or a 'high end' resort imo.

Great place for people of all ages. Several accommodation options. Rental of a golf cart to get around the resort was a plus. Many activities throughout the resort. Many good quality restaurants are available within a short drive. We really enjoyed wine tasting at Barboursville Winery in Barboursville, Va. Beautiful winery with knowledgeable staff. We are definitely looking forward to returning to Shenandoah Crossings in the near future.

This property is absolutely gorgeous. We stayed in the lodge and could see the horse pasture from our room. The room we stayed in was quite small/tight but very comfortable and nicely appointed. We were disappointed that the bar/restaurant in the lodge is still not open. So in lieu of that, we ventured out to a local convenience store to buy a bottle of wine and brought it back to the lodge to enjoy on their back porch. We had breakfast at the General Store on our last day. It was delicious. The General Store is perfect and very close to the lodge. Overall, we are looking forward to coming back, maybe in the Fall, and staying in a cabin.

I loved the property itself. It is a time share type hotel with cabins, with pools, peace and quiet, a conference room, horses/pastures/barns to board them, golf, putt putt golf, carts, very nice people working there. Only thing that has opportunity for improvement is just upgrade room air conditioners (in the hotel rooms), and put microwaves in rooms, as well as fold out suitcase stands. All else is good. I would definitely stay again if invited or opportunity was open.

Many good things to say, but our room was dark and very small. No room for desk or chair, so no where to sit except on very high bed. I'll come back, but when I do I'll bring a powerful rechargeable lamp for the room, and two fold up chairs.

The front desk is clueless. I booked my Hotel stay in thru Expedia for 2 nights. I paid $343.63 for the booking thru Expedia. All I was suppose to pay at the Hotel was a resort fee of $53.66. I was charged $299.30 by Shenandoah FD and I was charged another $200.00 by Ascend Hotel Collection. I asked for an invoice from the Front Desk when I checked out. They said there was no reciept and no charges.

The checkin process was a disaster as they insisted I owed another $97. to my prepaid reservation. I totally agreed with the resort fee (although some resort amenities were not open/available). They later claimed Hotels.com had not sent payment for my reservation and I said that was their problem, not mine!! Double check your bill!

I’ve been staying here off and on for the last 4 weeks and it’s by far the best place to stay in the area. It’s easily accessible, close to Louisa, Gordonsville, and Zion’s Crossroads, and it has a restaurant on site that is very good. I will continue to use this as my temporary “home away from home” hotel as I am in the area on business.

The cabins are lovely. But there are not numerous trails on the property as advertised. It is very remote. There is nothing anywhere near it, so in the winter there is little to do. I also didn’t like a 10:00 a.m checkout, when they ask you to assist in the housekeeping.

We went to the gift shop and the cook called out so we couldn't even get a bagel for breakfast. Be prepared to go hungry if you stay here. Maybe if you get a cabin, you can cook yourself, but that's no vacation.
