We will definitely stay here again next year when we return.

In 2019 we made a point of making this our first night destination, because of the fond memory of 30 years earlier. Same charming place, now run by the second generation. I greatly miss these motels where you park 10 feet from your room. I hope The Big Walker Mountain Motel keeps going well into the future.

Jim B.'s review couldn't be more spot on for this hotel, especially his description of the flop…read morehouse style residents (SCARY!) Despite being under new management and undergoing repairs, the property remains dreadful. By now they could have actually cleaned the rooms and sheets and commenced greatly needed small changes to make this place habitable and AT hiker friendly. Unless they do a complete renovation of all rooms, the grounds, and kick out the long term Pabst Blue Ribbon guzzling, pit bull parolee, derelict residents then this place will never be comfortably habitable. Fear factors: -The sheets on both of our double beds were stained with blood spots and the floor was filthy. We slept on top of our beds in sleeping bag liners -The wooden frame for my bed was broke in half so the mattress sagged -A previous resident had left food in the mini fridge and the room cleaner apparently unplugged the fridge so we had to clear out smelly rotting food -Non-smoking room reeked of smoke -Constant noise from other guests throughout the night. We were awoken and frightened with a large bang in the middle of the night which we believe was caused by one of the colorful long term bumpkin residents drunkenly running into (or being thrown into) our door. Again, cue reviewer Jim B.'s need for 'hardware.' The upside: -The office staff were polite and helpful -We were unintentionally entertained by one of the local residents - there are many who live here - who regaled us with tales of his multiple felony arrests and general shenanigans. My favorite line "I used to love that Raspberry Vodka but I found I was allergic to it. Kept waking up in silver bracelets" (referring to handcuffs). Wow. But hey, they offer a tanning salon in the lobby! Add a little cancer to your alcoholism. Try the Plaza if you must stay in Pearisburg. The previously only other choice, the Rendezvous Hotel, burnt down several months ago while Mr. Felony was living there (yes, we heard that story as well). *My review is truthful & based on FACTS of an actual stay. I did not have any interaction with management while on or off property - I have nothing to gain from a negative review. Face it, this place is really bad but hopefully it will improve over time and perhaps adding overnight on site security could temporarily alleviate some of the issues.
