Gorgeous Glamping Destinations in Virginia for a Luxury Outdoor Experience

For those who desire to experience “the outdoors” without roughing it while camping in tents, we’ve pulled a list of luxury yurts and tipis, elaborate treehouses, decked-out campers, and cabins that offer a luxurious outdoor experience with all the amenities and comforts of home.

Rose River Farm Cabins

Located In: Syria
Why We Love It: Try out horseback riding in Shenandoah National Park — there's an outfitter less than two miles from the cabins that will set you up.  

Rose River Farm in Syria leads the way in Virginia glamping with their luxury cedar-and-glass yurts. A former Miss Virginia is just one of the glampers who have enjoyed the pristine 20 acres shadowed by the Blue Ridge Mountains. The yurts (there are three) are spacious at a little more than 1,100 square feet with the dome reaching 17 feet. Every amenity you’d hope to find in an upscale, five-star hotel suite can be found here, with a highly prized additional amenity – PRIVACY. Choose your yurt based on the view – pond, meadow or mountain.
