Beautiful Comfortable Spacious Mountainside Escape

Review Submitted: December 6, 2011 Date of Stay: December 2011
My group of friends stayed at Spirit Dancer Lodge for the past two years, but our annual cabin trip became so popular this year (with 14 people attending) that we needed to rent the larger Sun Dancer Lodge instead, and we LOVED it! We packed so many things into our weekend escape, such as decorating a Christmas tree at the cabin, a Secret Santa gift exchange, our first annual Sun Dancer 5K, hiking in the woods behind the house (we found the creek with the rock encampments), a huge group dinner on Saturday night (the table comfortable seats 14), a movie night, playing board games and shuffleboard, reading/relaxing on the huge deck and also in front of the warm fireplace, and plenty of relaxing and hanging out in the hot tub!

There are so many different personalities in our group, but the cabin has something for everyone! The kitchen is well-equipped for those who love to cook (our one friend whips up something yummy each year for Friday night's group dinner--this year was Gumbo)! The leather couches around the fireplace are super comfortable for those of us who want to catch up and spend hours chatting in front of the warm fire. There are two large screen tv's (the one in the den was perfect for movie night and the one in the living room upstairs was great for watching football games on Sunday before heading home).

The rooms are beautifully decorated, and my friend who is a photographer took photos of many of your Indian artifacts and decorations. The place is just beautiful, comfortable, clean, and well-stocked with supplies! I would absolutely recommend a trip out to either of the lodges, and our tradition of heading to one of your cabins each year for a holiday weekend escape with friends is something we are all looking forward to for years to come! Thank you, Geri, for allowing us to stay a few extra hours on Sunday...we had such a wonderful time and can't wait to return next year!

Brandes Family Vacation

Review Submitted: August 31, 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
My husband's family traveled from MA, OH, VA, GA and FL to spend our annual summer vacation together. This house was amazing! The pictures really don't do it justice. Everyone had wonderful accommodations- beautiful bedrooms and bathrooms. The front deck was a favorite spot because of the amazing view, which we never got tired of! The back screened-in porch was also a relaxing spot to read/chat. The kitchen was very well supplied with everything that you could need to cook for 16 people. We did many of the area hikes, which were great (especially the one with the waterfalls)! We also toured several of the wineries and the distillery. The kids took advantage of the waterpark about an hour away. We also made a day of going to Luray Caverns, which was also really cool. If you are looking for a vacation away from busy schedules and technology, this is definitely the house to rent. We were blessed to have uninterrupted time with family. Hope we are lucky enough to go back again some day!

We had a great weekend

Review Submitted: March 8, 2011 Date of Stay: February 2011
The weather was fine,
We read the whole guestbook
We drank lots of wine.
We&#39;re reading departure
And eating some chips
Pete knows construction
He&#39;s giving us tips.
We like how the sky stretches out on all sides
The sun comes out sometimes
And sometimes it hides.
We like all the cacti
Antlers and masks
We even lliked doing
The clean up crew tasks.
But, Sun Dancer, baby,
We&#39;ve gotta depart
But we leave behind
A piece of our......
I&#39;m not sure how to end this.
