Our Take: Travelers flock to this Roanoke, W. Va. lakeside retreat looking for utter seclusion. To fully take advantage of the Stonewall Resort's tranquil setting, recent guests suggest booking one of the serene cottages set along Stonewall Jackson Lake. These cozy, two- to four-bedroom accommodations feature private decks with gas grills, hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and enormous bathrooms, plus they offer relaxation in spades. But you didn't just come here to lounge in your room—Stonewall Resort boasts a bounty of recreational activities and a scenic 18-hole golf course, designed by Arnold Palmer. And after hitting the greens, you can unwind at the on-site Mtn. Laurel Spa, which offers a versatile selection of organic treatments and therapies, such as a Cozy Cabin body wrap. When dinnertime rolls around, sit down for a hearty meal at one of the Stonewall's two festive dining venues, Stillwaters Restaurant or Lightburn's Restaurant. Recent guests can't stop raving about the delicious Sunday Brunch, which features classics like Eggs Benedicts, seasonal fruits, and fresh baked quiche, biscuits, and pastries. Visitors also applaud the Stonewall's knowledgeable front desk staff and warm atmosphere.
