    Fireplace in cabin #2
    Natalie M.

    We greatly enjoyed staying at Royal Oaks! We visited on Memorial Day weekend and stayed in cabin 2. I didn't have the time to research the vicinity and our only criteria was to be in a beautiful area where we could hike, enjoy the outdoors, and grill outside. So, imagine our surprise, when we learned that there were wineries, amazing trails, and breweries all just a 15-20 minute drive from our cabin! We discovered all the attractions thanks to Keith, the owner of the resort. Keith provided us with maps and took the time to suggest which hikes we should definitely check out and told us about other things to do in the area. While staying at Royal Oaks, we went on two amazing hikes, visited Devil's Backbone, Hilltop Winery- a winery that specializes in fruit and honey wines, and Boldrock Hard Cider. We would have gone on more hikes and seen more places, but we also wanted to take the time to really enjoy our cabin, which was adorable. The cabin was clean and the kitchen was stocked with the essentials. We grilled every night and enjoyed eating outside. On our second night we went to the campfire that Keith organized; it was very nice and we enjoyed meeting the other guests. I would definitely stay here again and I recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy some R&R in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains!

    At the mountain top! The view and fresh air is amazing!

    A breath of fresh air above the clouds. Solitude and relaxation abound this hideaway just off the Blue Ridge Parkway.

    Thank you so much to Igor for the myofascial release and massage. It is rare to find someone…read morededicated to their craft in such a was as Igor is. I was fortunate enough to get to enjoy a short retreat at the Lotus View cottage #2 and then found massage to be an added service. The weekend was much needed and better than I could have hoped it would be.

    I had the privilege of visiting this beautiful home and must see say it feels to me like a sacred…read morespace in its own right. The location, view, layout, lighting, attention to details and overall vibration of this home and it's owner Igor just makes me want to come back and be there full time! Thank you Igor for creating a beautiful space for your guests to cherish and an experience to remember! I also had the privilege of receiving the most extraordinary body work from Igor and I've had many in my lifetime! In my experience, what he provided was beyond your ordinary message as he incorporated a perfect blend of structural integration, mayo facia release, elements of rolfing and massage techniques combined with multiple rounds of Sauna-to-cold bath immersions. The most amazing thing was that I did not experience a single ounce of soarness the next morning which is quite rare for me after receiving such intense body work. This man has hands of gold and is gifted with great intuition in terms of understanding exactly what your body needs in the moment. Thanks for everything Igor. Till we meet again! Joe Pipitone

    The Omni Homestead is an elegant, grand dame resort. Actually, it's the oldest resort in America,…read moretracing roots to before the Declaration of Independence! However, the main building was completely destroyed in a fire and rebuilt in brick just after 1900 - so the facilities have a great blend of history and modern sensibilities. What I loved: * great valet and bell services. You are pampered right from arrival. * omni select guest benefits. We received a room upgrade, plus a welcome amenity mix * beautiful manicured grounds. We enjoyed walking around and seeing the families making s'mores and kids rolling down the grass hill. * spectacular banquet facilities for amazing weddings. * fun front porch traditions. What wasn't as great * extra charges add up. Valet parking, daily resort fees, charge for hiking (guide required) and adult pool (but family pool free) * small bathroom, with only a shower. * limited accommodation for late checkout. Luckily, our select guest status allowed our request to be accommodated, but before I mentioned that, the request was denied with such quickness that it seemed routine to do so. If you are looking for a luxury family resort vacation is southwestern Virginia, or love historic properties, you'll likely love the Homestead. If you prefer a more modern experience without add on expenses, it may not be right.

    We went to the Omni this past weekend for an anniversary and thought it would be a romantic…read morelocation with the scenery and hot springs. Yet, we found that the hotel was significantly overpriced, poorly serviced, and much more geared towards kids than couples. The Service Nearly every interaction we had with the front desk felt like we were inconveniencing them. From the moment we walked in, my partner and I walked up to the front desk with two employees. The one briefly looked up at us and then returned to what she was doing. We stood there for a bit before I asked if there was someone who would be able to assist us for check-in. The next morning, we walked by and that same employee was leaning up against the wall staring up at the ceiling - it looked like she would rather be anywhere else than working at that front desk. It was not a helpful, four star experience in any way. The final straw for us was when we were checking out, and one of the Room Controllers (seems like a supervisor role) Patrick, was called over to try to help us with a question we had about a charge we saw on our bill. When asking if he could help us understand the activity fee listed that wasn't clear what it was connected to, he said he could look into it more but it would take over an hour to do. When we pushed if that was actually the case, he said "do you know how many people have stayed at this hotel over the past weekend," in reference to the number of tickets he would have to go through in order to answer our basic questions. Seems hard to believe a resort like this couldn't tell you what a charge on your bill is - and of course that wasn't the case. Turns out theres is a drop down that provides all the details. We weren't trying to nickel and dime here, just understand a charge that was not clearly tied to an activity. After he realized there was a drop-down and it would not take an hour to answer our question, he became significantly more friendly. Cleanliness Our room had stains on several surfaces, most noticeably on the pillows. The tub was also significantly rusted around the drain and there were two long hairs on the shower wall from previous guests that we found before using the shower. Food The food in Jefferson's was bad, especially at the price. I had eaten here before and did not remember it being so terrible. I would consider it the most overpriced meal we've had. We ordered an 8 oz steak, lobster tail, wedge salad, and spoon bread. The steak was 1) not 8 oz and 2) not cooked to order, the lobster was rubbery, the salad was soaked in dressing, and the bread brought with our meal appeared stale as if it had been sitting out for hours if not days. The Fees Everything includes an extra fee. We were fine with the cost of it, but the additional charges aren't an inconsequential amount and honestly it's clear that the fees are just a way to show a lower price when you're booking things. The one that really stood out to us was the spa "service fee" which was 22%, and which part of it went to the massage therapist - but the front desk at the spa couldn't tell us how much. We were told that this specifically was not a tip, and were expected to tip on top of the 22% fee. To make matters worse, our "50 minute massage" was not 50 minutes - we have texts we spent before and after the service from the room that shows it was closer to 45 minutes. To be clear, we were on time and completed the paperwork well before the start time - so it was not a matter of us being late to the appointment. Activities A quick note - our experience with all restaurant staff, interns, seasonal workers, and especially those leading activities was very good. Archery was fantastic, the hot springs were peaceful and unique, and the hike had a very knowledgeable guide. The guides for Archery (the intern from Virginia Tech and Ahmet) were incredibly helpful and friendly. Our activities were not without frustration though - when we showed up to our 9am archery reservation, we were met by the intern who said her boss was not here so we couldn't get into the building. So we stood out in the rain until management showed up to unlock the door. We would recommend part of our 20% activity fee on top of the cost of the activity go toward cutting an extra key so future guests don't have to wait in the rain.
