Fancy Gap Vacations from $535

The place is very close to the natural bridge, (4mi) and close enough to Lexington as well. The rooms are a bit dated, the bed had a burn mark (non smoking room...?) and it allows pets. The room next door had a dog that kept barking every time I moved around my room. There are probably better options out there.

The property itself is beautiful—no doubt about that. The grounds and architecture are impressive, and that’s really what you’re paying for. That said, the experience doesn’t match the price. At around $600 per night, the rooms are not worth it. Honestly, they feel closer to a $150 motel room. Nothing stands out—average bedding, basic bathrooms, and no sense of comfort or luxury. I’ve stayed at far better inns with better views, better rooms, and much better service. Service was inconsistent. Some staff members were genuinely warm and helpful, but others seemed completely uninterested, even while guests were clearly present and needed assistance. In summary, this place feels more like hype than value. If you’re coming just to see a beautiful property and enjoy the scenery, you’ll be satisfied. But don’t come expecting outstanding service, luxury rooms, or premium amenities—you won’t get that here. If your priority is the building and surroundings, go for it. If you’re looking for comfort, service, and value for money, I’d look elsewhere.

Easy booking and check in

We didn't see any staff and the room was still a bit dirty, but finding the room was straightforward and they provided all the necessary information.
