Fort Lewis Lodge & Farm

The whole property is beautiful and well maintained. The staff is super friendly. Carol, the owner of 40 years, is very nice and is the chef who creates all the wonderful meals. If you're looking to get out of the chaos, this is your place.

My wife and I love our visits to Fort Lewis. This year was our second year staying, and we always have such a great time. From the endless options of exploring, Caryl’s incredible cooking, and quaint rooms (we love the silo!), we’d choose Fort Lewis over any other type of vacation. We just got back from our stay and are already looking forward to next year!

Loved our stay at Fort Lewis Lodge! The property is breathtaking. 3,300 acres of peace, trails, and mountain views. Perfect spot to unplug, relax, and soak in nature and scenery. We’ll definitely be back!

Fort Lewis Lodge is absolutely magical. I grew up in the area and have been wanting to return for a while without getting pulled into the bigger tourist locations. Staying at Fort Lewis Lodge felt like all the best parts of coming home to Bath County. If you want to experience the area like a local with the best views, undisturbed wildlife, and a dip into the Cowpasture River, this is your spot. The food is better than anywhere else in the area. Already planning our next visit :)

Absolutely the best experience! The family that runs it is so friendly. Carol is a wizard for making such nourishing, tasty meals each day. Also, they accommodated my nut allergy and took it seriously. We stayed in the Charles Lewis Cottage and for us it was worth the money to have the deck to sit on in the morning, and have a fire at night. Absolutely beautifully decorated. It's far off the beaten path, not even a gas station for 20 minutes, so don't forget anything! Wifi was strong enough to make phone calls/send emails if you need to do that while you're there. We had a wonderful weekend to relax, read, play cards (in the drawer in the room), play Frisbee golf, ping pong, and go hiking. Highly recommend if you want to get away and relax and no distractions.

Beautiful place to stay. Family owned and definitely feels that way. Very warm and inviting, beautiful property. Highly recommend the trails and just taking it all in. Did a fun photoshoot as well. If you are expecting the Ritz Carlton and a spa, this is not your vibe. But it’s the perfect getaway from the city to make you appreciate simple things and enjoy nature and all the animals on the property. Food was also excellent - like a true home cooked, farm to table style meal. Breakfast and lunch is included and we loved it.

The only word to describe Fort Lewis Lodge is simply - magical. This was my first time visiting rural Virginia, all the way from Australia, and I have never come across a more serene and beautiful property. Absolutely everything is top notch here. The stunning nature and scenery, the beautiful property, the food (I never go for seconds and I just inhaled every single thing on the menu). I wish I could have stayed more than 2 nights and I'm already thinking of the next time I can come back to this little slice of heaven. If you want peaceful seclusion, this is the spot for you! Thank you, Fort Lewis Lodge, for an unforgettable stay.

My husband and I spent Memorial Day weekend here, and it was such a treat. It was our first time visiting, so we didn’t know exactly what to expect—but it completely blew us away. The property is stunning, with so many trails to explore. We had a blast hiking and taking in all the natural beauty. The food was incredible—just what we needed after a long day of adventuring or to start the morning off right. And the wildlife! We saw so many birds, deer, and even cows. It was such a joy to watch and listen to them throughout the day. What really stood out to me was how much heart and intention the ft Lewis family has put into this place. You can feel the love in every detail—from the trees and plants they’ve nurtured to the beautiful buildings they’ve created. Seeing the transformation over the years through old photos was truly magical. It’s clear this family shares something really special. Honestly, it made me a little emotional. It’s not always easy to get my own family together, so witnessing this kind of bond and shared legacy was genuinely heartwarming. Some tips for your stay: If you’d like lunch during your visit, just ask at breakfast—they offer it for an additional fee. We stayed in the Tall Timbers cabin and absolutely loved it. If you can snag a cabin, I highly recommend it! The fireplace in Tall Timbers was amazing—definitely make your own fire. It didn’t make the room too hot, just perfectly warm and cozy, and the smell was incredible. There’s a hot spring nearby that some guests checked out, as well as a local cidery that’s definitely worth a visit. While you're at Buck’s, be sure to ask for the local cider—it’s incredibly good and not too sweet! When on the trails on the property pay close attention to the trail markers it’s really easy to get lost if you aren’t paying attention. Tick season is bad this year everywhere make sure to use deet or check for ticks after your hike to be safe. Thanks for having us we had a blast and hope to be back again!!
