Currently staying at the Creekside Village Resort in Basye, VA. Check-in process was cool even though we arrived late at night (midnight). They place the keys in a VERY secure lockbox in an envelope with your name on it. You need a passcode to get into it, so it's not easy to break into. The drive to the resort was terrifying in the middle of the night, though, I will say. However, the unit itself was pretty cozy & I liked that it felt more homey than most modern & newer resorts trying hard to be fancy. It goes to show that you don't need a ton of expensive things to have a good vacation.
I only docked a star because there were some things they didn't provide for a unit that's basically a 2-bedroom apartment: a dish rack, a vacuum (the place is fully carpeted), & steady internet service. The internet here is kinda spotty & keeps disconnecting every few minutes. I get that it's the mountains, but I also live in the mountains & it's not this bad. One of the locks on the screen door for the back balcony is also broken, which kinda sucks.
Other than those minor things, it's a pretty good place to go for vacation & to get away from the world & be in nature. Lots of nature attractions all around. Pool is closed during COVID, tho, so don't get your hopes up. read more
