Crows Nest at the White Lotus Eco Spa Retreat

If you need a break from the stressful city life, book and go.. it’s a therapy

This place is amazing, gorgeous, peaceful, serene. I rarely repeat visits, but I’d stay here again in a skinny minute.

Really magical place with lots to explore. Good location near Shenandoah, stocked communal kitchen, clean and comfy bedroom

We loved it, going to bring friends next time. Perfect for couples and groups.

i loved my stay at the zen barn. it was quiet and relaxing. the bed was super comfy and the room was nice too. the mini fridge was definitely a plus. the location is very pretty. it was really cool to be able to see all the stars on a clear night right outside the door. the cats in the area are super cute too! overall, i liked the area and how close it is to shenandoah national park. i would love to stay again!

My family was embarrassed I stayed at a low cost odd place so far out of town but I kind of liked it Positive: Scenery was awesome. It is a very pretty place. While I was there I met two employees who were both very nice - Dragon and Katie. My room was clean and the heat worked well. It was fine for me. I enjoyed my stay in this odd cabin compilation. Negative: Place was odd in that there were at least several "permanent residents." The indian decor felt odd in VA. Many of the buildings were falling apart - the sauna and hor tubs weren't available. The boat was filthy full of people's clothes and half drunk bottles of booze. The cat walk was shut down because a big chunk of it was broken. While I liked the people, it's not a spa in any sense. It is a group of cabins on the blue ridge mountains. They offer cleanliness and a great view but that's it. No check in desk, reception, manager etc. Its not a hotel/spa.

The property has great potential. Location is very secluded which provides piece and quite. It is sort of maintained and clean (the shared bathroom needs deep clean and daily touch ups though) but it feels abandoned, has no life. If there was a family residing on premises and running the place, it would be wonderful. Someone to greet you, run the fireplace downstairs, have simple snacks and small bar available. There is really nothing in the vicinity (less than 10 miles away). The shared bathroom downstairs didn’t bother us that much, a bit inconvenient but not a big issue. Crow’s nest was cozy and warm with great views. For the price, it was a good deal and close to where we needed to be. I wish it was more lively in the sense of atmosphere and charm and I wouldn’t call it “spa retreat “. The hot tub was not inviting due to the water being lukewarm and murky looking. We didn’t bother locating the sauna after that. As I said above, it feels dead/spooky.

we had the best time! 10/10 would recommend 💚

Positive: Everything was like a fairy tale, amazing 🤩

Wonderful experience for a peaceful stay Positive: We love the shared space- we did not use it all ! Decoration is unexpected and part of the experience ! Bedroom was fine and had a small fridge. Communal kitchen is convenient, you can also have your dinner or breakfast by the outdoor fireplace or in the large hall . Shared bathroom is fine, it seems we were the only ones to use it since most of the other rooms have their own bathroom. Very quiet , hardly saw anybody in the evening or morning (we were out all day hiking in Shenandoah) Location is great, 20 min from the Swift Run entrance to Shenandoah NP. Negative: Room lacks storage or even just hangers for your clothes. Sauna was nice (had to start it with firewood) but could have more private space to undress or hang out in the fresh air to cool off (a wood deck would be a nice addition)
