Skyland
A historic resort beside the highest point of Skyline Drive. Its restaurant and guest rooms overlook the full valley, making it the top choice for lodging.
Skyland lies between Mile 41.7 and 42.5 and is the highest point of Skyline Drive, at about 1,123 meters. It began in the late 19th century as a mountain resort camp. Today it is the park's largest area for lodging and dining. The lodge, restaurant and bar have floor-to-ceiling windows facing the Shenandoah Valley, and the sunsets are stunning. The Stony Man Mountain and Whiteoak Canyon trails both start nearby, and horseback riding is offered in summer. Accommodation should be booked several months in advance.
