Bluegreen Vacations Shenandoah Crossing, Ascend Resort Collection
Bluegreen Vacations Shenandoah Crossing is a large resort spread across more than 1000 acres of land featuring a 60-acre calm lake and a mix of rustic buildings and open fields. It offers accommodations in cabins, townhouses, luxury yurts, and RV sites, many with kitchens, fireplaces, and outdoor decks.
The land has been used for farming and outdoor activities over many years and was later developed as a retreat while preserving the area's rustic character. Its history is tied to the Shenandoah Valley, known for farming, horseback riding, and natural beauty.
The resort reflects rural Virginia traditions centered on outdoor activities, horseback riding, and gathering around campfires. Visitors experience local crafts and storytelling events that capture the slower pace and connection to nature that define country life in this region.
Check-in begins in the late afternoon and checkout is in the morning, with 24-hour staff available at the property. The resort is about 35 miles from Charlottesville and easily accessible by car, though pets are only allowed in RV spaces and smoking is prohibited indoors.
The resort offers stays in small luxury yurts featuring cozy furnishings, modern bathrooms, and plush beds, blending glamorous camping with country comfort. Guests can also take carriage rides through the countryside, adding a traditional Shenandoah experience often missed on typical visits.
