Guest Reviews

Fort Lewis Lodge is absolutely magical. I grew up in the area and have been wanting to return for a while without getting pulled into the bigger tourist locations. Staying at Fort Lewis Lodge felt like all the best parts of coming home to Bath County. If you want to experience the area like a local with the best views, undisturbed wildlife, and a dip into the Cowpasture River,...See More

My wife and I love our visits to Fort Lewis. This year was our second year staying, and we always have such a great time. From the endless options of exploring, Caryl’s incredible cooking, and quaint rooms (we love the silo!), we’d choose Fort Lewis over any other type of vacation. We just got back from our stay and are already looking forward to next year!

The whole property is beautiful and well maintained. The staff is super friendly. Carol, the owner of 40 years, is very nice and is the chef who creates all the wonderful meals. If you're looking to get out of the chaos, this is your place.

My husband and I spent Memorial Day weekend here, and it was such a treat. It was our first time visiting, so we didn’t know exactly what to expect—but it completely blew us away. The property is stunning, with so many trails to explore. We had a blast hiking and taking in all the natural beauty. The food was incredible—just what we needed after a long day of adventuring...See More

A wonderful getaway. The grounds are gorgeous and the accommodations are lovely. The meals are top notch home cooking, and I so appreciate that they also made gluten free pastries for me. Highly recommend if you’re looking to exhale, recharge, and enjoy nature.
