They would not allow this as the owners have not set their 2025 dates yet. Bottom line is they charged me a $100 cancelation fee. This place has the worst reservation system and is technically run by their HOA. That is the issue - HOA. Needless to say I am not happy about the $100 cancelation fee. I will never deal with this RESORT again. If you have any common sense I would not make reservations at this resort. Not very camper friendly.

We saw kids enjoying the pools and many people grilling. This site is right by the Blue Ridge Parkway and we had nice cruises along the Parkway. Most of the camping sites we found on the parkway had no hookups , which is ok if you are tent camping but not for those of us towing a camper. Mid-June we were wearing sweatshirts in the mornings and evenings while walking our dogs. Great cool mountain breezes . No air conditioning required . A very peaceful stay.

We rented the garden shed for a family rendevous and couldn't have asked for more. I've heard they use the main house as a bed & breakfast when it's not being renovated and I hope that's true. I'd love to come back with the whole family one day. (The shed sleeps 6) Ward Manor has everything. Land, water, incredible views, cats, dog, donkey, and cattle. On the weekend we were there, there was even a bonfire. My SIL and grandson went fishing. We all took lots of hikes. We might have given the donkey too many carrots, but he swears it was ok!! My favorite thing to do was drink my coffee each morning by the pond and watch the fog lift from the surrounding mountains. Absolute heaven. It was everything we wanted it to be. Michael and Matthew were very gracious and very accommodating.

This isn't a super new Hampton Inn but everything in the room was clean, comfortable, and in working order. My grumble with this location (and so many others) is that the desk was right next to the a/c unit so I couldn't work without being turned into a popsicle. The location is good. Right on the main drag in Galax with a Sheetz across the street (not really walkable though. the "street" is 6 lanes. As others have mentioned breakfast is great and did seem to include an extra hot item. I do wish the staff was a bit more friendly. I passed the front desk multiple times and was never greeted. Additionally the breakfast attendant didn't provide any sort of greeting. It's a small thing but I have come to expect it.

Our normal route and hotel in Asheville was not possible due to damage from hurricane Helene. Upon our arrival at the hotel an employee handled the check+in of our reservation. She was not very welcoming and kept conversation to a minimum. Since we normally stay at a Holiday inn I wasn't sure of what was part of the overnight stay. I had to ask if there was a complimentary breakfast and then had to ask the hours. Since we hadn't eaten all day we also wanted to go back out to pick up dinner. We asked about the location of a Subway Restaurant and she said it was twelve miles on the other side of the Interstate. Next ,"what else can you recommend'? No answer. We went to our room and decided to make do with drinks and snacks we had brought with us. The bed was extremely high and if I was sitting on it my feet were at least a foot off the ground. The mattress creaked and made all sorts of noise if I rolled over. If I got too close to the center of the bed there was a dip that you fell into. I also noticed several pink drip stains on the bottom sheet and towards the foot of the bed a long black hair. I decided to sleep in my clothes so as to not make contact with the unknown. In the morning I had to pass on a shower because the only handicap grab bar was mounted inside the shower/tub on the far wall. There was nothing to hold onto to assist in climbing over the tub wall. Breakfast was minimal and the employee working the breakfast buffet said she would be putting out more sausage. She also volunteered to refill the muffins. Neither thing happened in the half hour that we waited. My husband had a plain bagel and cup of coffee. I had a cup of coffee, a cup of orange juice, and a banana. Not much breakfast to write a glowing review of. (This was at 7:45 am and the breakfast was supposed to be available from 6 am - 9 am) I did watch a later customer make a waffle. Needless to say on our return trip we will find someplace else to stay. Me thinks not on staying here again!

It was right off of Highway 52 and had two great visual landmarks to orient young pilots: Pilot Mountain is to the south and a water tower shaped like a golf ball and tee is to the west.
