Stunning mountain refuge with observatory, golf, hiking, spa





























2000 Busted Rock Rd, Meadows of Dan, VA 24120 Get directions

"Deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Primland is like a luxury outdoor camp for all ages, complete with horseback riding, hiking, fishing, an aerial adventure course, and nightly s’mores around the firepit. There is plenty in store for those who head to this Virginia gem, not the least of which is its exceptional dining options and world-class golf course with stunning views from every hole. For a real treat, head to the observatory for a guided stargazing session—I can guarantee by the end of it you’ll be interested in buying your own telescope. Due to the massive size of the property, you’ll either make liberal use of the valets to shuttle you around from one activity to the next or want to bring your own car. At the heart of it all is The Lodge, with 23 suites and 30 rooms, but guests can also book the one (slightly removed) luxury six-bedroom residence, a variety of mountain homes, or the tree houses located in a secluded corner of Primland’s 12,000 wooded acres. From $595. —Jamie Spain" - CNT Editors
