Hotel Independent di Buena Vista

"The lodge is older, but very clean with nice beds and linens. I do miss a fridge and microwave in the rooms, but the restaurant staff were very accommodating to provide hot water for my tea. The beauty surrounding the lodge is unbeatable. Love the chairs outside to sit and enjoy the quiet beauty of the lake and Sharp Top. Such a peaceful place! We enjoyed hiking on the many trails right here. Hope to come back!!"

"We stay here as often as possible when we visit our child at Washington and Lee. Amazing rooms and staff! Highly recommend!!!!!"

"Excellent historic home within walking distance of restaurants, VMI, W&L. Great breakfast and hospitality."

"Very clean. Very comfortable."

"Our stay was part of a week long trip to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We cannot say enough great things about our stay- our room was comfortable and cozy- the entire inn and staff are perfect for a quiet getaway and we didn’t want to leave. Food is excellent and many fun things to do close by including wineries and historic places and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Highly recommend- Brenda and Kevin are amazing hosts and people. We will be back!! "

"We loved Love Ridge Mountain Lodge, we stayed at the Kennedy Ridge! It was clean and well kept! Communication was great with the owners and everything is available in the home! Very peaceful and relaxing! We even met Chester! The property cat, she is loving and hung out with us for a bit! Awesome experience, if you are visiting or from Virginia we recommend the lodge! "

"Wonderful experience in a historic inn. Relaxing gazebo by the creek. "

"Ridge View cottage is very nice. Situated at the top of a hill, views are great and wildlife is everywhere!"
