Primland Resort, Auberge Resorts Collection
$800-3000+/ ніч
Забронюйте це, якщо You want a billionaire's version of summer camp where you sleep in a luxury treehouse and stargaze from a private observatory.
Чому люди це люблять
- 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
Короткий огляд: It is spectacularly remote and expensive, so if you don't like silence, nature, or $50 cocktails, you will be bored and broke.
Переглянуто @dreamtravelbyjenny: 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.

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

ЧаПи та скриті поради
Все, що вам дійсно потрібно знати перед бронюванням.
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.

5 речей, які варто знати перед вашим виїздом
💡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.
