Amazing!!

My wife and I, along with 4 other couples, spent last weekend here and had the best time ever! The house is large and roomy, with all the comforts of home. Everything from the large great room and the spacious kitchen to the huge game room and comfortable bedrooms made our stay one to remember. We BBQ'd on the deck every night, relaxed in the jacuzzi, and played card games on the large dining table. Everything was perfect, including the very short drive to Old Rag mountain....which is a must! Overall, a great weekend at an amazing house located in the beautiful Shenandoah Mountains.

We spent Memorial Weekend at this wonderful house. The house was
amazing and I must say that the pictures on the website does not do it justice.
Everything in the house was very well kept. We loved the sauna, hot tub and
ping pong table. I highly recommend this to anyone who's thinking about it. You won't be disappointed. Thank you so much for letting us rent your house.

We stayed at Spirit Dancer in February 2004. Our group of women enjoyed the retreat so much, we plan to go back this year. The views, home, hot tub, nearby hiking were all extraordinary. Thank you so much for providing a wonderful home for others to enjoy.

Guests at lodge 11/1-11/4/04. I cannot convey how blessed we feel to have experienced such an amazing home and vacation. So many things to do, such little time! The views from Skyline Drive - incredible. The peace and beauty all around Spirit Dancer Lodge - amazing!
This home is like staying at a 5-Star resort. Pristinely clean, beautiful native American decor, tons of games, amazing sound system/entertainment center that can be enjoyed from almost every room, amazing outdoor hot tub, sauna room, exercise room, trails and fishing pond and on and on and on! We felt so at home yet pampered beyond belief.
There are so many sights to see in the area and especially all the trails in Shenandoah National Park that feature panoramic views and many waterfalls. We even saw a very large bear and her two cubs while driving along Skyline Drive!!
We are thankful for the warm hospitality we received and the special memories that were made during our anniversary vacation at Spirit Dancer Lodge - memories that will last a lifetime. We will definitely be back!

We stayed in Spirit Dancer Lodge over New Years 2004. We came with our closest friends, and we had a spectacular time. We hiked, and explored the old ruins, and the old dirt road, had picnics on the hill-top (it was very mild weather), and really enjoyed the spectacular lodge. Thank you very much for providing us the opportunity to share your lodge. Sorry it took me so long to post this message. I thought I had done so before, but as I looked this time, I didn't see it.

We - our 14-member extended family of four siblings, our families, and our parents - spent an absolutely wonderful week at SDL June 20-26, 2004. The Lodge is most conducive to a wide variety of activities - puzzle working 'til midnight, kids playing hide-and-go-seek, screening epics such as the Lord of the Rings, huge dinners scrumptuously prepared with a plethora of kitchen utensils, gazing up at a zillion stars and satellite spotting, sitting up until 2 a.m. recounting past joys and foibles. Plus, the Lodge itself is a ceaseless wonder - so many treasures and items to examine, all very tastefully displayed. And, of course the area offers a wide variety of activities - hiking, tubing, shopping, dreaming.
All in all, it was one of the best weeks our extended family ever had! Thanks, Geri!

We (a group of seven friends)had a
wonderful stay at the lodge. We
spent our days swimming at the
White Oak Canyon falls, canoeing,
and a couple of us hiked Old Rag--
the top
of which was so amazing to me (an
icing of boulders)-- I can't believe
such an incredible place is
so close to home. And the house
was a perfect place for us to gather --
we especially enjoyed cooking,
eating, and playing games
together. Usually I'm an avid
camper, but the lodge has won me
over to a
more civilized enjoyment of the
outdoors-- I got used to a cold beer,
a dip in the hot
tub, and relaxing in the great room
after a day on the trail or river.
We hope visits to the Spirit Dancer
Lodge will become a tradition with
our family and friends.

Our family had a wonderful time at Spirit Dancer. The facilities are wonderful, to say the least. The kids loved the game room, naturally enough, and we all enjoyed the view from the main floor, deck and spa. The biking in the nearby area is enjoyable. We spent many mornings roaming the lightly traveled, if a bit hilly country roads. The hiking in in the nearby Shenandoah National Park is beautiful as well(particuarly the Canyon/Waterfall hike). Can't say enough really....

Yes, this house is really as good as the pictures and the description. Fantastic views, great hot tub for star-gazing, quality construction, elegant furnishings, tranquil and quiet. It's obvious the owners put their heart and soul into this property. We will be back!

I really enjoyed the luscious soaking tub, and the smoked cheddar was soooo yummy! This lodge will be my first choice for any future retreats - corporate or personal.
