Jenny Lake Lodge
For rusticity and refinement, there’s no better choice than the classic Jenny Lake Lodge in northwest Wyoming
Big Meadows Lodge
SHENANDOAH NATIONAL PARK, VIRGINIA
Tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah is an easy and scenic 90-minute drive from Washington, D.C., but feels remarkably remote. At Big Meadows Lodge, televisions are scarce; instead, guests watch deer and black bears wander through the nearby meadow for which the lodge is named. Accommodations, with views of the sprawling Shenandoah Valley, run from private cabins to in-lodge rooms and suites. An architectural attraction in itself, the interior of the lodge is paneled in native oak and chestnut, while the outside is made of chunky stone mined from the nearby Appalachians. Lately the park has been getting serious about its food, hiring chef Peter Bizon to infuse the menus at Big Meadows and nearby Skyland Resort with Southern-inspired flavors, as well as oversee occasional cooking workshops and wine-pairing dinners. www.visitshenandoah.com
