It's not really the owner's fault at all but the place is built on a rather treacherous bit of mountainside in the Shenandoah. The website doesn't really give much warning about this and there isn't any sort of guardrails. There is a hell of a 'pucker factor' getting to and from the location as it's just one lane. But once you get there- My GOSH! So beautiful-- so inviting.. and so, so so sooo cozy! Makes it all worthwhile!! As I said before, unless a millionaire wants to donate $$$$$$ for them to build a two lane bridge connecting the property to the hardball, not too much to be done!!

The Sugar Tree Inn was relaxing and peaceful. Nice variety of snacks and drinks for purchase. Several seating areas inside and out. Pretty view from the porch and new upper level deck. We even spent time in the loft reading a book. Loved everything about this Inn. Especially the owners. Great people. We will be back again sometime.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience at the Sugar Tree Inn! We were celebrating our 41st wedding anniversary and enjoyed exploring Lexington, Staunton and Crabtree Falls! The breakfasts were fantastic and the staff so friendly. We will definitely consider returning!

We had a great time. The owners of the inn were really friendly. The evening meal was very good. If you like to stay in a nature setting near a lot of outdoor events. This is the place.

Everything was perfect for us. Beautiful and charming inn and setting. The innkeepers are hospitable, and we were able to arrange dinner options for when we arrived. The inn is well equipped for whatever you need. We really enjoyed the fireplace in our spacious room and the super comfortable bed. Breakfast was yummy and plentiful.

My wife and I stayed in the Crab Tree Falls room in the main cabin. The place was really nice and cozy. Every night the Owner turned on the main fire place and we could sit in front of the fire. The kitchen was convenient for us to get coffee in the morning and also get other drinks and snacks at our leisure. They cook breakfast every day and it was very tasty. Dinner is optional at a cost on the weekends, and we had other plans so we never did get to try the dinner. Other guests said the dinners were amazing though. The Owner's were very nice and seemed to be there without being there too much. The driveway is steep so be prepared! We were only a few minutes away from the Crab Tree Falls hike along the waterfalls so we did that one day. Also, it is very close to the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are no TVs. At first we weren't sure about this, but actually came to like it very quickly. We loved this place and will definitely be back again.

This was a getaway for my wife and I and it was absolutely perfect. We stayed in St. Mary’s cabin and it was everything we could have asked for. Kevin and Brenda were great hosts. Breakfast was great, very balanced and didn’t make us feel bloated. We had dinner there one night and it was good. They were well stocked on all different types of drinks, but the cold brew, which is free, was my wife’s favorite. There is not Wi-Fi, which is what we wanted, but we had cell service in case of an emergency. Overall, great place to stay, great hosts and great views.

Kevin and Chef Gerry were excellent host, from the moment we pulled into the drive way until we left to go home. The St. Mary's Cabin was the perfect room for my granddaughter and me. Clean, comfortable, charming and a great view. Dinner and breakfast were outstanding and they both went out of their way to make out meals great and enjoyable. Great time was had by all! We will be back! Thank for the great weekend!

Not as advertised.
The stay was nice. However, I booked this mountain stay because they listed fireplaces and had Wi-Fi. Their fireplaces are not functional and the do not have Wi-Fi. i would not have stayed here if I had known these things. I am disappointed that your website did not have up to date information about this hotel.

Hi Dale. We have asked the online travel agencies to stop advertising that we have WiFi when we don't. We are very upfront on our website that we are a low-tech facility and under FAQ it says we don't have WiFi available due to our remote location. In regards to the fireplace, 6 days before your arrival we had all the fireplaces inspected and they all showed extensive repairs needed. For the safety of our guests, we shut them down until repairs can be made. All our information was updated and should have been reflected in the listing on Expedia. We have no control of when they update the information, however, our website reflected all of that. I'm disappointed that you were provided incorrect information as that reflected on to the experience you had with us. We did enjoy having you both here and hopefully you will give us a try again once our fireplaces have all been repaired. Thank you

The room we stayed in was fantastic. Very comfortable and well appointed. Yes, the driveway is a bit tricky, and I wouldn't want to drive it in the winter, but it wasn't THAT bad. It has excellent access to the Blue Ridge Parkway, which was our #1 reason for choosing the inn, but now we will return just because it is so nice : ) Bring your own WiFi hotspot!

A wonderful ski lodge /country manor vibe in the woods between the Blue Ridge Parkway and the interstate -- yet in a world of its own. New management and upcoming and ongoing upgrades, but it is already a very special place to enjoy the mountains. Great breakfast but check on other meals -- lunch/dinner not available every day.

What a wonderful place to stay for a long weekend! The fall foliage was wonderful, and the crisp nighttime air offered the perfect reason to light the wood fireplace in the room. Our room was spacious and quiet. The hosts were very accommodating, and had wonderful meals. It's not the easiest place to get to; the winding and sometimes steep and narrow roads leading to the house must be a real challenge in non-ideal weather conditions. Nonetheless, you're rewarded in the end with a wonderful experience!
