From the regal Lodge with its skirt of emerald fairways to its romantic log cabins and treehouses perched above the Dan River Gorge, winding trails lead to myriad fresh discoveries. Wander the banks of streams alive with trout and chance upon a deer, silhouetted in a backlit glade. Experience the rush of mountain biking balanced with the rejuvenation of the Auberge Spa. Gaze at primeval views and star-filled skies from an on-property observatory, basking in the serenity of nature. At Primland Resort every moment is one to savor.

Primland, Auberge Resorts Collection, is lauded for its breathtaking views and spacious rooms, though a few guests have raised concerns about cleanliness issues. While the hotel's atmosphere is widely celebrated for its refined and cozy mountain elegance, some visitors feel that the overall value falls short, citing high prices that don't always match the quality. The location earns high marks for its unique charm and stunning setting.
Service at Primland is consistently commended for being welcoming and professional, and the resort's cleanliness is noted, particularly the golf course and grounds. The extensive amenities, including a luxury spa and family-friendly activities, are also popular among guests.

Detailed Reviews
My husband and I visited Primland for our anniversary. We traveled from Philadelphia with high expectations. We were greeted by lovely valet & front desk staff but surprisingly were not informed of the many outdoor activities that they offer. My husband did his homework & planned ahead for ATVs horseback riding and spa appts (which were hard to come by 8 months in advance). But we were surprised to learn how much more is offered at the activity center. I think they could do a better job of informing guests about them and the pricing.
The food is ridiculously expensive and the fine dining restaurant Elements was disappointing, especially given the price. We thought the 19th Pub was far better but still very overpriced. We had our anniversary dinner at Elements and while everyone wished us a happy anniversary, they offered nothing to make the meal more special. The breakfast was $75 for avocado toast & an omelette both of which were just fair. At these prices your meal should be exceptional and none of them were. In addition when you’re spending $1000/night - they should include something - breakfast, a spa service or an activity. We’ve been too many other places that do.
The golf course is incredible, the scenery and nature are beautiful & you do feel like you are the only people here. We stayed at the Pinnacle cottages which was lovely with fantastic views.
We heard that when Auberge took over the prices tripled but nothing else changed. We had a wonderful time but would probably not return because of the expense.
Special shout out to Cricket at the 19th Pub - she was fantastic & remembered every detail about us. Autumn at the barn guided us on a fantastic trail ride and Zack introduced us to skeet shooting & fly fishing. They made the trip very memorable for us & we really appreciated their hospitality.

We recently enjoyed an exceptional stay at Primland Resort, and it was truly unforgettable. The breathtaking views, comfortable amenities, and thoughtful touches to the golf and wine classic set the perfect tone for a relaxing getaway.
The highlight of the trip was the inaugural Golf and Wine classic. The event was flawlessly organized and the resort's pristine golf course offered a fun challenge and opportunity to see tons of wildlife. Pairing fine wines with gourmet meals each evening added a delightful touch, thanks to the expert sommelier and talented chefs.
Primland provided an unparalleled blend of luxury, sport, and gourmet experiences. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a memorable and relaxing vacation. We can't wait to return.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveler reviews.
We stayed in the Sparrow East Fairway King Loft Unit. Looked like the photos and as described. Nice layout and good that there is a powder room on the first floor. Also a nice automatic timer gas fireplace. The kitchen had some utensils, but requested glasses and they were promptly delivered. Several complimentary snacks and non alcohol drinks and juices were provided. Wine and beer were available in the unit for a charge. Second floor had a comfy king bed, large tv, big walk in closet with many dresser drawers. Separated toilet room, marble shower and free standing tub. Lots of towels that were replaced daily. Two robes and slippers. Ours was a wooded view. Our friends stayed in Woodpecker West and they had a beautiful, golf course and distant lodge view. The valet staff, Leif, Ronald & Blaze were friendly and helpful. We reserved a shuttle time for our dinner reservation. We were however able to walk the short distance to the lodge during daylight hours. Beware of black bears, as we did see one when we were sitting on our porch. Limited menu with an additional special at the 19th pub for lunch and dinner, food was good. Dinner at Elements was great! John and Yani were our servers and they were friendly, professional and helpful with our questions and suggestions. Wendy was our check in person and offered champagne or bottled water upon arrival. She told us about the resort, answered questions and made suggestions. Check in and as well as Check out was quick and easy. We were given a short tour of the first floor amenities of the lodge. But we explored on our own the spa/pool/game room/fitness room and observatory library. This was our 3rd trip to Primland and we will definitely stay again.

I just spent ten thousand dollars for a three night stay in a very average and sometimes poor resort. We stayed in the Barn Owl tree house which had a spectacular view. The cabin had flies in the bathtub that were never cleaned by housekeeping throughout the entire stay. Our breakfast dishes were not removed from the deck for 24 hours. Thank God the bears did not try to finish the leftovers ( yes, we saw many bears around the cabin). We were expecting a remote mountain cabin, yet heard the leaf blowers on the golf course every morning around 7 am for a few hours. When we pulled up to the lodge, valets would greet you about a third of the time. They were always people standing around the front steps and fire pits some had shirts with an insignia. Not once did any of them introduce themselves as a valet, nor did I see any name tags on their shirts. The training of the staff throughout for a "high end" resort was very poor. It is very obvious that they are having difficulty recruiting staff, but the lack of training of the ones that are there is the fault of the management. The massage was great. The rest of the spa/pool area was dated and in poor condition. The Stables Saloon had a nice meal and service. Most of the servers at the restaurants were friendly but many could not answer questions about the menu/food/drinks. Overall, the food was good, not great for the prices. Beware booking online, I booked a three night stay that was supposed to be with the third night free. I then tried to add the breakfast package. The booking system has both of the offers all over the website. However, when I checked out they charged us for all three nights and proclaimed that the third night free is not available during peak season. When I discussed this with the front office staff I was told that a manager would call me. Instead, I received an email that said that they would not compensate me and that I should have booked through their agent and not online. Classic bait and switch. If you want a fantastic place to stay go up the road to the Inn at Foster Falls. We stayed there last week as well. It is beautiful, impeccably clean, comfortable, elegant with amazing customer service and food at ten percent of the price. Good luck Primland you have some serious work to do.

If we could rate this place 1000 out of 10, we would. We had the absolute best experience here this past weekend celebrating my birthday and engagement. The pictures online do not do this place any justice. We stayed in the Pinnacle King room, and the views from our windows were breathtaking—snow-filled mountains that were nothing less than picture-perfect!
All of the food was phenomenal; we highly recommend the pig candy—delicious! What impressed us the most was how detail-oriented all of the staff were. And when we say all of the staff, we mean every single one we encountered. From start to finish, they made our trip incredible!
Autumn and Noel were fantastic guides for our horseback riding and ATV ride. They literally got out in the snow with us, smiling all the while, and ensured we enjoyed ourselves. On the day of my birthday, every single staff member wished me a happy birthday without me even mentioning it, and after we got engaged, we received numerous congratulations as well.
Jamaica and Ashley at the bar were so kind and made me a special birthday cocktail that was to die for. We just sat and talked to them for hours. Emily, the hostess at the restaurant, was so sweet, and Aaron, our server at Leather Flower, was the absolute coolest—so professional and even shared stories about a famous family member he had :-).
Tori and Raine at the Stables restaurant were great as well and the food there was my favorite and don't forget the live music!
We absolutely cannot forget about John, one of the restaurant managers, and Will, the GM. They both went above and beyond throughout the entire trip to ensure my birthday and engagement were one of a kind and unforgettable. We cannot thank you all enough for the exceptional service you provided us this weekend.
Special thanks also to all of the shuttle service staff who picked us up and carried us back to our rooms safely each night in the snow. We are definitely planning another trip here in the summer to play a round of golf and are also looking into visiting other properties as well.

Property is stunning. Service and cleanliness of room was subpar for the reputation and supposed quality of the resort, especially for the expectations associated with the cost of the stay. Overall, the hospitality did not meet expectations as most folks seemed bothered to assist and accommodate.

If you are into golf I can see some regarding this place to be a haven, but I think this place is otherwise bang average and grossly overpriced for what is on offer.
PROS: nice rooms in the lodge, secluded location, hiking, trails and other (but still rather limited) activities, the restaurant and pub food was decent, and staff came across as friendly in general.
CONS: even though I am fortunate enough to be be able to afford what was on offer, everything was stupidly overpriced. The 20% mandatory service charges where also extremely annoying as we prefer to tip/pay service fees based upon the actual service received, and many times during our stay the service charges did not align with our perception of the service provided. Dinner at Stables Saloon was a nice setting but the food was seriously lacking in flavor. The massage service was HORRIBLE and one of the worst massages we have ever had (in our lives!), made even worse by the exorbitant cost of said service. Let's not get me started on the "Martini upcharges" from all establishments. What a joke!
Unfortunately, the cons outweighed the pros and as such will not be returning to nor recommending this place to anyone in my network.

Primland is BEAUTIFUL and the junior suit is amazing. I highly recommend. The restaurant and pub are wonderful. The hot ticket is to pay $30 and take a golf cart out with coffee in the morning. I don't think they advertise that but it was the highlight for me. Must be willing to get up and go early before the first Tee time.

We stayed for 3 nights in a Dan River suite in the pinnacles cottages. The room was beautiful, great layout and comfortable furniture.
The resort is very expensive, the room, food and activities are all costly. It could never be described as a good value, particularly at present where the pool is reservation only and the spa facilities are closed (reportedly the spa is open for treatments but no one ever answered the phone). I think if you are planning to come here you need to set the expectation that you are going to have to spend a lot of money. They charged $8 for a glass of OJ, it's ludicrous, so if you feel that this sort of outrage will totally ruin your trip then go someplace else.
If you can acclimate yourself to the expense, then I think that this is a great place for a short pandemic vacation. The staff were all lovely. The golf course is beautiful and very well maintained. The hiking trails were well marked and easily accessible from the lodge. I felt that the covid precautions were adequate to feel safe, everyone is required to mask indoors and no one will come in to service your room unless you ask them too. We asked for extra towels and coffee pods at the front desk and they gave us a bag so we could take them back ourselves.
The restaurants do appear to be understaffed, the food options are very limited and our food often took a long time, so don't cut it too close to your tee time. I think if you were staying more than a few nights you would have to start repeating meals. Fortunately everything we had to eat was excellent.
So in summary, if you are desperate to get out of your house for a little while and are willing to pay somewhat extravagant prices to do so, Primland is a good option.

We appreciate you taking the time to spread the word on Primland and happy we were able to make your quarantine a little bit more adventurous outside of your home! It is easy to self distance on 12,000 acres of open air and woods. It is exciting for us with each new phase where we can start using / opening up additional areas and amenities of the hotel. Each new phase has been a "learning experience" for the hotel and team. This is definitely a new situation for hospitality and we appreciate guests coming and sharing their time with us. It was wonderful to welcome guests back to the mountain. We do hope that you will return to the mountain and enjoy more of what Primland has to offer. Please be safe. Julee

Pros: The personnel are wonderful! This was big birthdays for both of us, all the staff knew it and said Happy Birthday. Impressive! The food in Element and 19th Pub was excellent, as was the service. Several employees went above and beyond, Frances in reservations, after explaining to her that we really wanted a romantic balcony, not one looking at the driving range for 4 nights. She understood and, on the 2nd, night placed us in the same type of room as was booked but with a beautiful view from the balcony and our bedroom. Asley, and Cricket in the Pub not only give great service but show that they’re genuinely interested in getting to know you. Turn Down Service: Some nights left a small favors like olive oil, lavender soap, BBQ blend. It was nice to come back to the room and find these little surprises.
Golf: Personnel very friendly / professional, especially the starter, nicknamed Mean Dean.
The course was in immaculate condition. Cons: You don’t get a receipt for any purchases whether it’s merchandise, drinks, or meals. We’ve traveled all over the world and can honestly say we’ve never encountered a more complex billing system, especially when you’re on a golf package. Recommendation, write down all your charges. Suggestions: Luggage attendance could do a better job of showing guests how to work the lights and shades. Either the lights in the bathrooms need to be upgraded or replaced with brighter ones. It was so dark that I had to put on my makeup at the desk outside of the bedroom.
Though rooms were spacious, the second having wonderful views, the furniture, especially the sofas, need to be refurbished or replaced.

no food or snacks- K cups for coffee and 2 bottles of water- nice frig though- bring your own
Thank you. Our pool is located on the lower level of the hotel in the Spa. It does have doors that open up to the outside to a patio, lawn area and fire pit area. It is in our future to add an outdoor pool, however, with the current situation, that plan has been delayed! :)
We do hope to see you soon on the mountain! Julee

Are you referencing the Pinnacle Cottages or Fairway Cottages? If the Pinnacles, then the main door opens into a small foyer and then to the outside. If it is the Fairways, then yes, the open directly out to the front porch or patio. Julee
