Just by the Skyland amphitheater is a building, on the top of an incline, facing west to Luray down below. There are four rooms here all with this breathtaking view made all the more gorgeous as the sun travels overhead and changes the color of the world below. At night, the stars are so vibrant that they can be seen while laying in bed. In the evening, the sunset is such an explosion of color it paints the walls. But in the early morning hours as the sun rises, it climbs on the other side of the mountain and slowly, gently, spreads over the valley floor. On this particular morning, it was below freezing and fog spread out through the valley, looking like a white ocean with waves that billowed and changed. The sun slowly burned away the fog, exposing a frost-covered land, and for a moment it felt like we were viewing the depths of a snowflake.

If you go to Skyland Resort in Shenandoah, spend the extra bucks for a good room with a view. Nearly all rooms overlook this valley in some way, but we splurged for a king bed and were so lucky to see this sight every morning with a warm cup of coffee in hand.

"Great place to stay."

"My boyfriend and I really enjoyed this unique place! The house is on a beautiful property and was a short drive to both Shenandoah and Elkton and maybe about 15 minutes from the nearest park entrance. The place is pretty small but was perfect for my boyfriend and I since we were spending most of our time exploring the surrounding area."

"Very clean property, I would recommend an upgrade on the mattresses.Most VRBO'S do not require the renters to bring sheets and towels. It was not a hardship for us but maybe a turn off for some.Did "
