Fort Lewis Lodge & Farm

Beautiful place to stay. Family owned and definitely feels that way. Very warm and inviting, beautiful property. Highly recommend the trails and just taking it all in. Did a fun photoshoot as well. If you are expecting the Ritz Carlton and a spa, this is not your vibe. But it’s the perfect getaway from the city to make you appreciate simple things and enjoy nature and all the animals on the property. Food was also excellent - like a true home cooked, farm to table style meal. Breakfast and lunch is included and we loved it.

Loved our stay at Fort Lewis Lodge! The property is breathtaking. 3,300 acres of peace, trails, and mountain views. Perfect spot to unplug, relax, and soak in nature and scenery. We’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely the best experience! The family that runs it is so friendly. Carol is a wizard for making such nourishing, tasty meals each day. Also, they accommodated my nut allergy and took it seriously. We stayed in the Charles Lewis Cottage and for us it was worth the money to have the deck to sit on in the morning, and have a fire at night. Absolutely beautifully decorated. It's far off the beaten path, not even a gas station for 20 minutes, so don't forget anything! Wifi was strong enough to make phone calls/send emails if you need to do that while you're there. We had a wonderful weekend to relax, read, play cards (in the drawer in the room), play Frisbee golf, ping pong, and go hiking. Highly recommend if you want to get away and relax and no distractions.

We just returned from a two day two night (not long enough) stay at Fort Lewis Lodge and enjoyed it so much. Great to see old friends Caryl and John the innkeepers. Beautiful fishing and will great food. Love This place.

The only word to describe Fort Lewis Lodge is simply - magical. This was my first time visiting rural Virginia, all the way from Australia, and I have never come across a more serene and beautiful property. Absolutely everything is top notch here. The stunning nature and scenery, the beautiful property, the food (I never go for seconds and I just inhaled every single thing on the menu). I wish I could have stayed more than 2 nights and I'm already thinking of the next time I can come back to this little slice of heaven. If you want peaceful seclusion, this is the spot for you! Thank you, Fort Lewis Lodge, for an unforgettable stay. ❤️

If you’re hunting for sub-marginal home-cooked meals and a staff that could win gold in eye-rolling, this is your place. The only thing this resort truly excels at is delivering a clean cabin you can smell in the morning as the only redeeming feature. Location? Oh, it’s “charmingly remote” in the way a desert island is charming when you’ve misplaced your compass. Tucked in the middle of nowhere, not close to civilization for what feels like an eternity. You’ll be driving for ages just to pretend you’re in a real town, then realize you’re still staring at the same pine trees with a bill you can’t afford to be optimistic about. Value for money? If by “value” you mean paying top-tier prices for bottom-tier service, then congratulations: you’ve found the perfect match. For the sum you shell out, the staff should be bending over backwards to accommodate, not giving you the side-eye when you ask for a complimentary bottle of water. Yes, you read that right — water that should be included, not a scavenger hunt you complete with your last reserve of gas money. Complimentary amenities? Don’t get your hopes up. You’ll be lucky to receive a smidge of courtesy, let alone a bucket of hospitality. I literally ran to my car, about to become a contraband water thief, in order to go buy some bottled water because apparently thirst is a luxury here. In short: if you like clean cabins and nothing else, this place will scratch your itch quickly. If you want civilization, a friendly vibe, or even a basic gesture of courtesy, you’ll need to bring your own map, your own water, and a strong tolerance for microaggressions dressed as “service.” Verdict: skip it unless you want a test of your patience and a few extra stories you’ll tell later about the time you paid a premium to feel like you’re guest-starring in a reality show called How Not to Be Treated.

Fort Lewis Lodge is absolutely magical. I grew up in the area and have been wanting to return for a while without getting pulled into the bigger tourist locations. Staying at Fort Lewis Lodge felt like all the best parts of coming home to Bath County. If you want to experience the area like a local with the best views, undisturbed wildlife, and a dip into the Cowpasture River, this is your spot. The food is better than anywhere else in the area. Already planning our next visit :)

My wife and I love our visits to Fort Lewis. This year was our second year staying, and we always have such a great time. From the endless options of exploring, Caryl’s incredible cooking, and quaint rooms (we love the silo!), we’d choose Fort Lewis over any other type of vacation. We just got back from our stay and are already looking forward to next year!
