    Filthy place and incredibly rude. I will never return to this place, it's nothing like it was.

    Let me start by saying the views and property are amazing. The landscaping was beautiful and we…read moreloved how well kept the grounds were. But I'm so glad we didn't make our first visit here in the winter. We would have never gotten up to the condo with how steep the roads were. Our condo was clean and well equipped but we won't return because it wasn't convenient to anything we enjoy doing. Also, as a Verizon customer we had no internet. That was unnerving. I think if you plan on cooking, have a 4x4 vehicle, and don't want to do much other than cook and enjoy the views in your condo, this is a great choice. But we are active with our kids and it was a chore to get on and off the property.

    We chose this place due to the reviews and the lovely pics of the inside and of the view. Now I…read moreknow why the outside pictures didn't show much -- the roadway to the facility was treacherous. It is definitely not for anyone apprehensive of heights. The road to the complex is extremely narrow that makes me question if an emergency vehicle or fire truck could navigate it. In addition to it being narrow, it is a windy road on a cliff with no guard rails. I had a panic attack on the drive up; thankfully, I wasn't the driver. When we turned to road with the gated entrance, it was gravel, overgrown, and we couldn't even see past the gate. And this was at 5:30pm with full daylight. I was so panicked that my husband thought I was going to have a heart attack. We immediately turned around & made our way back down the horrid road, riding the brake the entire time & with a vehicle right on our bumper who apparently wasn't as upset as we were. Thank goodness no vehicle came in the opposite direction. I do feel there should have been some hint as to this "feature" of the facility. If I had known of this, there is no way I would have chosen this place for our well-deserved restful weekend. We ended up going back home & lost our money.

    My wife and I spent a weekend at Primland in mid-June on our way home from a wedding down South…read more The resort is a bit out of the way. We still had a twenty-minute drive to the lodge when we reached the North gate. The drive was pretty, though, and passed quickly. The circular driveway in front of the lodge was clogged with cars, forcing us to park down the road a bit. No one was around to welcome us, and finding someone took us a bit. Once we did, the valets quickly took care of us, and we were checked in. Our room on the second floor overlooked the 18th green and a valley on the backside of the lodge. It was terrific: large and spacious, with lots of wood and chunky lodge-style furnishings. The bathroom was huge, with a large tub, separate shower, and his-and-hers sinks. The minibar came stocked with complimentary non-alcoholic drinks and some snacks. While staying here, we enjoyed their astronomy presentation at the top of the silo, walking on several trails through the nearby woods, time in the spa, and making smores out back by the fire pit in the evening with the other guests. There was a special cocktail hour with apps and drinks, and a chance to talk to some of the local providers of food and items to the hotel. They do an excellent job of using local sources for the lodge. Dining was top notch, except at the Stables family-style restaurant. The Stables was a disappointment. Our other meals though in the lodge were top notch. The staff at Primland is the best, and they are what make this place so special. Come visit in the summer and enjoy the cooler temperatures of the mountains.

I especially appreciate Chad who was at the parking deck for shuttling folks around. He was especially helpful. My spa facial was delicious and completed by Rita who has magic hands. Ask for RITA!!! Definitely sign up for watching the sky with their telescope. That was cool on a clear night. Now the bad - Toilet paper was not soft. I spent a lot of money there over 4 days. Need soft paper. Food was good but pricey. $125/dinner at least just for the meal and then include drinks!!!! Yikes, They are in a rebuilding phase. Next summer will be much better when their new outdoor pool will be open. Currently, only have an indoor pool currently with lots of chlorine in the hot tub that burned my eyes. That was a bummer. Spa was good as mentioned above but the robes were all tattered. That was a shame. Maybe next summer they will buy new robes for spa with everything else they are doing. Beds were great but need to be flipped since they slope to the left as people wear them down getting out of them. Over all cost for 4 days was in the multi thousand dollar range. Not enough to do for that much to be spent. Won't be going back.
