The 'Mountain Top' treehouses with private hot tubs and sweeping gorge views
World-class stargazing at the on-site observatory with professional astronomers
The Highland Course, consistently ranked the #1 public golf course in Virginia
快速了解: It is spectacularly remote and expensive, so if you don't like silence, nature, or $50 cocktails, you will be bored and broke.
@dreamtravelbyjenny 的评论: I spent the weekend at Primland and honestly didn't want to leave. Waking up to the fog rolling over the Blue Ridge Mountains was magical, and I spent hours just reading by the fire. If you need a total reset, this is the spot.
住过这里的客人说
The hype
Guests universally describe the setting as 'heavenly' and 'magical,' with service that anticipates needs before you ask.
Reality check
The price tag is eye-watering (post-Covid rates surged), and some feel the food prices don't always match the culinary execution.
You are a couple seeking absolute privacy and romance (book a treehouse)
You are a golf enthusiast wanting to play a bucket-list mountain course
You love outdoor activities like RTV trail riding, clay shooting, and fly fishing

常见问题和隐藏提示
预订前您真正想了解的一切。
Is the resort fee worth it?
Yes, the ~$50/night fee covers valet, high-speed WiFi, and shuttle service, which are essential here.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, select rooms in the Lodge and Fairway Cottages are pet-friendly for a $150 fee.
Do I need a 4x4 vehicle?
Only if you are staying in a Treehouse and want to drive yourself; otherwise, standard cars are fine for the Lodge.
Is breakfast included?
Typically no; expect to pay $15-50 per person unless you book a specific package.
What is 'Pig Candy'?
A signature bar snack at the 19th Pub: thick-cut bacon coated in maple syrup and cayenne pepper.
Is it kid-friendly?
It's 'family-forward' but not kid-centric. Great for teens who like outdoors; no kids under 12 in treehouses.
内部人士建议
✨
Book a 'Star Walk' at the observatory early; it fills up fast.
✨
The 'Mountain Top' treehouse is the only one with a private hot tub.
✨
Winter is the 'secret season' with lower rates and cozy fireplace vibes, though golf may be closed.
出发前需要了解的5件事
💡The drive from the gate to the Lodge takes nearly 20 minutes—it is THAT big.
💡You can order 'Pig Candy' (maple-cayenne bacon) even if you aren't drinking at the pub.
💡The indoor pool is chlorine-free and features a waterfall.
💡There is a hidden 'Schlumberger Wine Cellar' for private dining.
💡The 'possum pie' mentioned in local videos is a joke—stick to the fried apple pies at Poor Farmer's Market.
