Bluegreen Vacations Shenandoah Crossing, Ascend Resort Collection

Views are wonderful and closeness to the lake is great. It is nice to have the outside deck to hang out at late hours and visit with friends. Clean rooms, facility and grounds. Friendly/helpful staff. Good pools and Hot tub. The ability to check out at 11:00 is a great thing. The coffee machine in the lobby is a good thing. Would probably like to see it stay open until 12:00 p.m. instead of 11:00 a.m. The small size of the rooms maybe a turn off to some people but it did not bother me at all. It doesn't really factor in for the whole experience. I didn't see a trail map for walking but I may have missed it.

Phones didn't work so well. It would be great to have a bar and the main hotel with some basic food. Even so it is good that the general store has at least pizza and burgers and a variety of beverages available.

Staying at the lodge was a wonderful experience for me and my family. My kids had a blast in the pool and under the sweltering heat of July it was more than welcome. The lake (we didn't try the kayaks) and the whole surroundings are very beautiful. All in all: great stay and a good resting place to visit Shenandoah National Park.

The fact that there is no breakfast, nor an on-site restaurant is the only little negative point I can think of. There is a grocery store on the compound which is also a deli, but the store wasn't overstocked with the items we craved.

the property was up to date ,well kept, and clean staff was friendly and mostly helpful with the exception of changing the sheets

the room was smaller then it looked in the pictures, the electrical sockets were Insufficient and adapters were used to try to make everything work. the rooms were not cleaned every day and when asked to have the sheets changed some new ones were dropped off outside our door instead of staff changing them . there were no options for food on the premises not even a basic breakfast option.

Employees were nice and check-in & check-out were easy. Brandon was super helpful as a concierge.

A lot of the activities and food places are still closed for no reason. Bathroom had hair stuck to the walls and tub from the previous guests. Despite there being vacant cabins with better scenery and locations, we were given a basic cabin with difficult parking next to lots of traffic.

I love the jacuzzi and the pool and the game room and the cabin was so beautiful and I had great privacy everything I needed except for the food.

I honestly wouldn't have changed anything besides the weather it was a little bit chilly because of the time of year I decided to go and there was a lot of outdoor activities that I could have taken part of if it had been warmer.

Lodge located on very attractive campus in rural setting with horses in the adjacent pasture Spacious and well/equipped exercise room Pool/spa/fire pit/game room areas very welcoming Our bed was excellent, ie. firm, thick mattress

Queen room less spacious than similarly priced national hotels we have patronized Bathroom basin and tub/shower ordinary compared with property common areas

This place is really cool. I was a bit nervous given some other reviews. I expected our log cabin to be old but it was completely refurbished and really nice! We had views of the lake too.

Would be awesome if the bar & restaurant would reopen - sitting on the deck overlooking the lake is a very special spot.

Great surroundings and beautiful view from the pool. Despite the numerous houses there was enough place at the pool. The resort area is very well maintained.

No restaurant on site since COVID. Very comfortable beds in the houses.

My husband and I have been there many years ago, and it hadn’t changed much, the cabins were quite comfortable, roomy, especially for our family of 5. The beds and pillows were soft, and comfy. Air conditioning worked great. We were able to cook adequate meals there whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Nice deck area, with a small grill. The kids loved the pool area and mini golf. Plenty to do on the property. The cost of the activities for the kids were pretty reasonable and the staff took every precaution to protect the guests. The staff was friendly wherever you interacted with them. We will be back.

The thing that I didn’t like the most was the cost of the horse back riding and other activities involving them. They were free the last time we were there, however, I do understand the cost of upkeep and care of such animals, so we just didn’t do it. The kids were still excited to see them up close. They even loved the donkey. That was really it though!!

It is clean and comfortable with lots of activities to do. Great location being next to the the lake (kayak rental available in the resort itself) and near Shenandoah Valley. The only regret we have is staying only 2 nights, we had so much fun and is a perfect start to our summer vacation. We look forward to going back and checking out their other resorts nearby.

You need to have a car. The resort is big and facilities are scattered, perhaps making available bikes or scooters can reduce the need to drive from one place to the next. It was scorching hot when we were there, so unfortunately walking in the heat is not an option.
