We went to Primland on a spontaneous romantic getaway. The 7 mile drive in from the gate, at times along the very crest of the Blue Ridge, is magical. We loved how the property hasn't been developed--i.e. the only houses are the ones that were there when the property was acquired. If you love reclaimed wood used in a sophisticated non-rustic way, you'll love the timber framed porte cochere, and Primland must have the only Wormy Chestnut paneled elevator in the world. Do take advantage of the astronomy viewing--our guide was engaging, knowledgeable, and made sitting under blankets on a cold February night a highlight of our trip.
