I went back to Pipestem Resort last weekend after 30 years and can tell you that the reason to go hasn't changed .... fabulous view, nice staff and an opportunity to rest and relax. It's a good place to hold a meeting as well which is why I went: state convention of Lions International. My original visits were when the... More

I have had the pleasure of going to Pipestem for the past 20 years. The views are tremendous, the people are fantastic and we have made many friends with them. The food is not great but doable and if you don't like it, go to Brandon's BBQ or the Dairy Queen in Hinton or New River Valley Kitchen down below... More

Our first trip to Pipestem, specifically the Mountain Creek Lodge, probably won't be our last. We met friends from VA and SC (our home is OH). The views and hiking were wonderful. The staff excellent. The restaurant at the Mountain Creek level was very good. A meal at McKeever was less than special (but not horrible; just really slow). The... More

The setting of the lodge is beautiful and the views from the reception area and main concourse are magnificent. The rooms are ok but the noise is awful - so bad that the reception staff has a posted sign for "light sleepers" offering complimentary ear plugs! The food is mediocre and there are very limited options to eat elsewhere. We... More

It's a decent price. The noisiness mentioned in other reviews are pretty accurate. The views are fantastic as are the hiking trails. I would not under any circumstances eat here again. We gave it two tries. One each dinner and breakfast. When the dining room was near empty service was horrible and when full even worse. Tables were just left... More

Went here for my high school reunion. Rooms have gorgeous views. Breakfast buffet was very good. I can't eat dairy and they provided eggbeaters. Nice cottages are close to the lodge. Recommend checking out the Lookout Tower for very nice views. Even had snow this time of year! Wow. Saw lots of deer. Would return in May to ride tram... More

Pipestem is great, and my wife and I have been there a dozen times or so over the past 20 years. It's a state park, with incredibly reasonable rates, for which one gets access to an outdoor wonderland. It's not intended to be, as some reviewers seem to expect, a luxury resort. (If you want that, go north to Stonewall... More

Wish our experience had been as positive as those of others here. Maybe it's a question of needs. We traveled here for peace and relaxation and got none of it. So much so we left after our first night. Place practically encourages high noise levels, so much so that guests are offered free EARPLUGS upon arrival. Walls are thin as... More

My family has been coming here for Thanksgiving weekend for 25+ years. As I've gotten older I expect more from a "resort." When I was a kid I didn't mind the noise as I was one of thes that was making it. Now that I'm 38, being able to hear the TV in the room next to me is really... More
