We just stumbled upon Lydia Mountain Lodge looking for a quiet retreat for New Year's Eve, but were pleasantly surprised that we did. Such a hidden gem in the Blue Ridge mountains. Clean, comfortable, warm, and rustic. We just stayed for a couple of nights in the middle of winter, but imagine it is even better in the warmer months. We enjoyed making a fire in the open hearth of the main room, the wonderful restaurant, and the New Year's Eve party. We will definitely be back to stay and recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet retreat in the Shenandoah.
