They're dog friendly too and have water bowls for the fur babies! We sat outside because it was so nice out. There's seating on their deck area that's outdoors but there's also tables down by the pond which is nice. I did the 2023 vino white wine which was delicious, it's more of a sweet wine which I prefer. My friend did the chardonnay which she said was good. The ladies serving us were very nice as well. Would definitely come back! Also lots of parking options

Just got back from McGaheysville, VA where we somehow managed to hike Old Rag with a 4- and…read more6-year-old--a miracle in itself. The next day, we stopped by Cave Hill Farms Brewery for some well-earned food and drinks. This was my third visit, and overall, it was another good experience. The pretzel bites and nachos were both solid, and we ordered two different chicken nugget options--one super mild (no sauce) and the other packing a nice spicy kick. The beer selection was great, and chatting with Wendy behind the counter was a highlight. She's the kind of person every brewery or restaurant needs--funny, welcoming, and just plain awesome. Only a couple of minor misses: they weren't offering beer flights because the dishwasher was down (I even offered to help wash the glasses, but no go), and they were out of shredded pork, which would've been great on the nachos. Still, nothing that would keep me from coming back. There are a lot of great spots in the area, but Cave Hill Farms Brewery remains one of my favorites. I'll definitely be back for visit #4.

This was the best get away! My boyfriend and I stayed for 2 nights and it was the reset we needed…read more We got to bring our girls (dogs) who had a fantastic time! Daily walks down to the lake, a hike in the woods with the trailheads right on the property, close to "town" for good local food and cute shops (check out Bluebird & Co for cute clothes, accessories, and books!). I cannot recommend this rental enough. We will be back for sure!

Did not realize it had several suites and that they do big events including weddings here. I loved it. Half my family lives in the Charlottesville area. I will be sure to be back several times!

I do NOT recommend this establishment due to poor customer service and unmaintained properties. My…read morewife and I had booked a 4-night stay over the 4th of July weekend (total cost over $1,000) but we checked out 2 nights early because of the state of the property. If you're looking for a fun, comfortable, outdoorsy stay in the area, check out the Postcard Cabins instead! THE GOOD: The property is located in a beautiful area. Views are great. I really like the food at Bearr Appetit restaurant -- kudos to the chef! THE BAD: Customer service is poor. I get the impression management must have simply stopped caring at some point. Example 1: I tried contacting the property multiple times before our reservation. Half the time, nobody answered the phone. I left a voicemail once and nobody responded. The two times someone answered, they promised to call me back with an answer to my question, but never did. Example 2: The morning of July 4, only one server showed up on time for her shift at Bearr Appetit. The poor girl was HUSTLING to keep up with multiple tables, indoors and outdoors, in hot and humid weather. I'm standing alone at the host stand waiting to be seated for about 5 minutes. A manager (owner?) is sitting at the cash register counting the money. Finally the manager/owner stands up, starts heading the the kitchen, sees me, and asks, "Are you waiting to be seated?" I say yes. She POINTS AT THE POOR WAITRESS who's struggling to keep up and says, "She'll be right with you." Then proceeds into the kitchen. Finally I asked the waitress if I should seat myself, which she appreciated and agreed to. Example 3: Upon departing 2 nights early due to the condition of the property (discussed below), my wife wrote an email explaining the issues and asking if they'd refund one night as a compromise. It's been a week now and we're starting to doubt we'll ever get so much as an acknowledgement. THE UGLY: My wife and I stayed with our dog in the Speckled Owl cabin. It's a good sized, secluded property, but it soon became clear to us that management puts minimal effort into maintaining it. Example 1: The first thing we noticed was that the ground floor was COVERED IN DEAD MILLIPEDES. We immediately called maintenance, who promptly came to vacuum them up. But in less than 24 hours, the floor was COVERED IN LIVING MILLIPEDES. This made the first floor basically unusable to us. If we needed something from the kitchen we had to tiptoe around the bugs. By Day 2, the millipedes were migrating upstairs to the bedroom. (That's when my wife decided we needed to go.) Example 2: Enormous cobwebs everywhere, inside and outside. Example 3: Patio and terrace furniture was filthy and disgusting. Bird poop and other crap all over the chairs and tables. Example 4: Linens and towels were old and worn to the point that we wondered how clean they were. Example 5: The mattress was awful. You can feel the the springs and if one person moves, everyone moves. Bottom line, we were extremely disappointed in Lydia Mountain Lodge & Cabins. We feel there's a lot of potential to make this into a special place given the wonderful location, but that the current ownership/management has no real interest in the guest experience.

Disclaimer: I am friends with the owner…read more With that said, I have also recommended this winery to many of my friends. Three of my friends held their weddings here and I personally hosted a friends bridal shower here during the pandemic. I have to say the venue is PERFECT for all occasions. There are distinct areas that you can rent. During the pandemic, the owner went out of his way to help us set up the bridal shower, make sure the area was well ventilated, but also included heat lamps and fans so we would be comfortable. There is also an Air Conditioned tasting room that was super comfortable. I've bought cases of their wine and they make fantastic gifts. When just visiting, I love all of the activities they have and the wines. I will definitely be back and hope to host more events here.

We got a bottle of the meritage, and two flat breads. The food was tasty, and the wine was really good. The heated inside didn't have a view, but had games, and books, and couches. Was very homey. There was a huge playground on the premise so now I know I can bring my kids here. The whole decor felt elevated farm house to me. I would def come back and recommend to my friends.
