A place to slow down, explore, and stay awhile.
Private mountain lodges in Etlan, VA.
The Shenandoah & Blue Ridge landscape.
Tucked into the foothills of the Blue Ridge, The Lodges offer a quiet base for time spent outdoors — and time spent doing nothing at all.
From early mornings on the trail to slow afternoons at nearby vineyards, and evenings back by the fire, the days here unfold at a different pace.
It’s a place shaped by the land around it — Old Rag Mountain, Shenandoah National Park, winding roads, and small towns — and by the people who come here to disconnect and reset.
Activities
From the Old Rag hike and surrounding trails to scenic drives through the foothills, wineries, local bars, and nearby towns like Sperryville and Madison, there’s plenty to explore without feeling rushed. Some days are about nature and distance, others about food, conversation, and wandering. This page brings together the places that fit naturally into a stay here — the ones guests ask about most and tend to remember.
