Primland Resort, Auberge Resorts Collection

Our third and last time to Primland. Property and main lodge are beautiful. There are nice hiking trails, and the activities (axe throwing, RTV's), and indoor pool made the trip more enjoyable. Star gazing is a great feature, but costs $60 per person! Overall, the prices charged based on activities, unique features, etc is just excessive. For a 3 day trip for a family of 3, the cost for one lodge room, one restaurant meal/day (no alcohol), one spa treatment, and 2 outdoor activities was $7500. I am lucky to say I have taken several other luxurious vacations- for far less money and with more to do.

Primland is a luxury resort in every way. The resort is well-laid out and offers a multitude of activities and places to stay. We stayed at the Pinnacle rooms and we loved it. Although it is a walk from the main lodge, they offer shuttle to and from the rooms. We enjoyed golf, clay shooting, a moonshine tasting and a falconry tal and flight exhibit. The food was excellent with a varied menu and knowledgeable staff. We also enjoyed the family-style dinner and Bluegrass music at the Stable Saloon in a more casual atmosphere. While the resort is on 12,000 acres, the lodge isn’t too large, which was great. The atmosphere is perfect — small enough to feel comfortable, but large enough to offer diverse activities. We will be back!

A truly wonderful place. The hospitality is second to none and the experiences are equally as fantastic. The golf course was in great condition after a long winter and the pace of place was great. The new addition of the smoker on the 10th green is a great option especially with it included in the cost of the round.

We had a lovely stay with friends, we would highly recommend for a relaxing weekend away. We enjoyed the hiking, service, food and amenities. we loved laurel bar and the bbq and bluegrass. The staff was very friendly and accommodating during our stay

Wow, what a place! Yes, it’s a pain to get to, in a very remote area, but that’s one of the many elements that make it so special. The long drive to the resort is just stunning. And the resort is absolutely terrific—12,000 acres, which is twice the size of the city we live in! You definitely want to book a Pinnacle room, as they have great decks, are very secluded, and have awesome views. Rooms are spacious high ceilings, ample large windows, perfect seating areas to enjoy the incredible views. The deck is a good size with great seating. Bathroom is HUGE! Well appointed and nicely lit. Most lights are on dimmers which make it that much nicer. Bed is uber comfy. Only complaint is only 4 coat hangers are provided in a small closet—totally insufficient particularly in winter with coats. Also there’s a nice table next to the mini-fridge but no chair for it—that should be fixed. They have nice complimentary snacks and non-alcoholic beverages which are replenished daily. Also, a shuttle service to the main lodge for dining, or to the many on-site activities. Had a few issues with it, but that was quickly remedied. The spa is excellent. A separate women’s area with jacuzzi and steam room. Had a facial which was divine, although pricey for this area. Had dinner at their Leatherflower restaurant which had terrific food and service. But it was loud and bright as we were hoping for a more intimate dining experience. We also did the ATV experience which was a lot of fun. They have other “castle-like” amenities to choose from. We’re not golfers, but that looked to be a great course. Also missed the observatory due to cloudy weather, but I’m sure that’s great too. It is such a beautiful area to drive to, and so worth it. This is a resort that should definitely be experienced.

Great resort. We have stayed at Primland numerous times over the past decade. Amazing views. Phenomenal golf course. Definitely the #1 course in Virginia. The staff is very friendly. Menu selection has improved and new furnishings at the resort are a nice upgrade
