Mountain Lake Lodge
Fantastic place- it’s just beautiful. Very clean, super comfy beds and great staff. We happened to be there during the recent snow storm. Staff was amazing! They went above and beyond to scrape our car the next morning. Would love to visit again in summer for all of their activities.

Comfort Inn Blacksburg University Area
