Reuben's are my typical go to sandwich places, and I honestly have to say this was one of the best ones I've ever had in my lifetime. The meat was so tender it just melted as you ate it.

We are definitely looking forward to making trips out here to eat again very soon!

It was around 4pm so it was pretty empty. We sat at a booth and ordered drinks. Our server was friendly. I will say there was no music playing and we were sitting near the kitchen. We could hear basically everything going on and the other couple in the rooms conversation, which was a bit odd. We ordered the fried chicken based on reviews and it was delicious. I would highly recommend getting the fried chicken. The green beans were also really good. I can't really speak on anything else. The place is pretty large, before we left we took a walk around and found a pretty cool bar in the back and some patio seating. All in all I would compare this to a typical country roadside diner. Good homestyle cooking at good prices.

The wait staff knew everyone but me but that's ok because I am not local. I hear them chatting with customers about the weather, hunting, and local events. Felt nice and homey inside. Food came incredibly fast. The service is quick and friendly. My food showed up about 4 minutes after I ordered. Maybe I got someone else's order but it was what I wanted so I dug in. The gravy is homemade. I can tell because I make it at home. Eggs were perfect for over easy. Always hesitant when I say over easy because the whites are usually runny when ordered anywhere else. Not this time. Whites were just barely cooked which is perfect. The home fries were rough cut irregular sizes which tells me they are fresh and not from a bag. It's a basic diner with great food and service. Add home cooking and you have a great place to eat. I will be returning.

A group of 16 of us booked for the weekend and I honestly can't think of enough great things to say. Seriously, everything about this place was AMAZING! I organized the trip, so I got to work with one of the owners, Jesse, to get everything set up. He was helpful, responsive, accommodating, and really kind. I organize a lot for my friends and myself, and this was one of the easiest. Upon arrival we were checked in by the other owner, Gary, who immediately made us feel like we were at home. He gave us a wonderful tour of the property and told us everything we needed to know for a wonderful stay. This property is nestled in the hills of WV and the views are STUNNING! Every space and room is beautifully appointed, really leaning into the upscale rustic vibe you'd expect in a mountain retreat. So many beautiful nooks and crannies to sit and read or play games or just nap. The pool and hot tub are gorgeous and Logan at the pool bar will take amazing care of you! They provide a complimentary breakfast of freshly cooked eggs, meats, and biscuits/scones. The lunch and dinner menus are varied and everything we had was delicious. Our servers, Rain (spelling ??) and Angie were stellar and the ambience was just perfect. Every single one of us left feeling refreshed and we were all sad to leave. Do yourself a favor and make the trek out to Lost River and treat yourself. This place is amazing and I'm already planning my next trip here with my partner.

A winding road through a rocky valley with a mountain stream that flows to the Lost River. Then you turn into the Guesthouse and the stunning main building and cute cabins are so perfectly placed on the property with lovely landscaping. Walk into the main lobby to be greeted by Gary, one of the owners. He was super pleasant and took us on a tour of the property pointing out the dining room, bar, pool (although it was still closed for winter), hot tub and sauna, gym, multiple media rooms, game rooms and lounge areas, and then our room in the Hobson Cabin. The room was well appointed and clean. The shower was beautiful and had great water pressure and temperature. The balcony had wonderful views of the parks close by. A country breakfast is served daily at 9 and is a great start to the day. The dining room is open in the evening for drinks and dinner with a menu for anyone! Gary and Jesse are always close by if you ever need anything and make you feel most welcome. We can't wait to visit again in the summer so we can make full use of the pool and enjoy some nearby hiking!

Owner/Chef Dane stopped by our table at the end of meal and was so delightful to talk with. We had a terrible storm during the dinner service, apparently a tree went across the road nearby and knocked out their internet service preventing them from being able to check us out at the end of the evening.

We ate in the bar - loved the vibe down there! The food was amazing! We started with salads - Caesar for the Hubby (as usual) and the Spring Salad for me (I subbed blue cheese for the goat cheese - I'm not a fan of goat cheese). Both salads were super fresh. They make their dressings in house and it shows. Ribeye rare for the Hubby and Filet mid-rare for me. We both had the crème fresh mashed potatoes. Steaks were cooked perfectly. And let me tell you, if you get anything, GET THE MASHED POTATOES!!! I swear these were the best I have ever had in my life. No joke - that includes my homemade and my Moms and Grandma's. Seriously. It's worthy to note that I asked for salt & pepper, as there was none on the table. It takes a really confident chef to not have salt & pepper on the table. So of course, I tasted first. I honestly did NOT use not one grain of either. The food didn't need it. Everything was seasoned perfectly! We ended the meal with crème brûlée, because if it's on the menu, we are ordering it. It was exceptional! Easily the second best we've ever had - and we've eaten a LOT of crème brûlée in our years. The service was absolutely spot on. There were 3 people working down there on this Wednesday night and they showed incredible teamwork. Super friendly, efficient and very customer service forward. Whenever we are in this area again, we will definitely eat here!!

It was served in a pile as if someone dropped it or something. "Field to Fork" means fresh food. Three skimpy specks of chili pepper in a cheese steak sandwich is crazy. Wonder bread? So the sign was misleading. Perhaps just a bad day for them? The menu looked good, only if the could execute. I'll pass on recommending.

Unlike other Episcopal Diocese's, The cathedral for the Diocese of Virginia is an outdoor space: "The Cathedral Shrine of the Transfiguration". You can book a room individually at Shrine Mont, but the way most people come here is through spiritual workshops, or camps, or Parish retreats. You will get a room with electric heat and a window fan but no a/c. You may get a private bath or a two bedroom shared bath. Included with the room is breakfast, lunch and dinner, served, depending on the dining room, buffet style or family style. There are basketball courts, tennis courts, shuffleboard, swimming pool and hiking trails. One trail goes to the Shrine at the top of the mountain, and you may do the Stations of the Cross while you hike it. There is also a spiritual labyrinth. The Virginia House, the largest building on the property, has slow WiFi and a library with many comfortable old chairs and sofas, to sit and read. It also has a nice gift shop. I will say that some parishes come to Shrine Mont with a very active agenda, and have many workshops throughout their stay; not my church. We come up here to deee-comm-presss, and do a whole lot of nothin' while we do it. We also have been known to share a bottle or two. We do end the weekend with a Eucharist service in the Cathedral Shrine, though.
