There are 12,000 pristine acres to enjoy at Primland , a premier luxury Blue Ridge Mountain resort .

You can spend the days fishing and end the nights with a stargazing session . Whatever you ’ re hoping to get out of the ultimate mountain escape , you ’ ll find at Primland .
It all started with Didier Primat , the founder of Primland . His vision came to life in the Blue Ridge Mountains , and many years later , staff still strive to effortlessly capture Primat ’ s passion for serving up genuine hospitality with a smile . “ There are places that touch you in ways both simple and profound . Primland is one of these .”
The serene surroundings of Primland are rich with history . Many American Indian tribes have called these peaks home . The tribes ’ love for the land , and their sensitivity to its wellbeing , has been instilled into Primland , which is completely evident upon arrival , whether you ’ re there for the hunting trips or the spa . The spa itself incorporates American Indian practices into their treatments , such as the Native American Healing Day package . This package “ blends ground blue corn with native honey ” to exfoliate the body . After exfoliation , you ’ ll enjoy a soothing shower and a Harmony massage , followed by time in the Relaxation Room with a seasonal beverage .
Stay in the main lodge , made of stone and cedar , where you ’ ll have your pick of over 20 different rooms . If you prefer to stay in a luxurious cottage , the Fairway Cottages offer lavish settings , like hardwood flooring and cathedral beamed ceilings , floor-to-ceiling stone fireplaces , and even private decks . The Fairways offer optimal luxury with wide open views of the property . Expect to see oversized soaking tubs in the bathrooms , barn-like architecture throughout the home , and impeccable décor to make you feel completely immersed in the land .
The Mountain Homes are yet another option , where you can expect an elevated , breathtaking view of the mountains , along with endless options depending on your needs and style . A newer addition to the Mountain Home collection is the Flying Squirrel Home , which boasts a 13-sided frame of reclaimed wood . This circular look , complete with a wrap-around deck , gives this home a rustic , yet modern feel , while also offering unforgettable 360-degree views of the surrounding land . In the Flying Squirrel , you ’ ll enjoy all of the comforts of home , including a gas fireplace and a fully-equipped kitchen .

The Golden Eagle is literally built in the trees of the land , with a beautiful semi-circular deck that overlooks the valleys below . Balanced on the rocks and situated in the sprawling oaks , the Golden Eagle is the epitome of a mountain escape .
