What Primland does

Primland operates The Lodge at Primland, a single luxury mountain resort set on a 12,000-acre private estate in Meadows of Dan, Virginia, within the Auberge Collection portfolio of Auberge Resorts LLC (30+ global properties). The resort's core offering is integrated hospitality built around multiple accommodation types — The Lodge, Fairway Cottages, Pinnacle Cottages, Tree Houses perched above the Dan River Gorge, and Residences — supported by a four-venue farm-to-table F&B program (Leatherflower, Laurel Bar, Stables Saloon, Schlumberger Wine Cellar), the Auberge Spa with indoor pool and wellness programming, the Highland golf course (Golf Digest #1 Public Course in Virginia), and an extensive slate of curated outdoor experiences (horseback riding, fly fishing, mountain off-roading, birdwatching, Orvis-endorsed sporting club, Barbour mountain adventures, and an on-site astronomical observatory). The property also operates meetings and events, weddings, residence sales, and a recurring membership program.

The business generates revenue across nine streams: lodging (transactional nightly rates influenced by promotional packages including Suite Escape, Book Ahead, Local Residents, and Blue Ridge Golf), food and beverage, golf green fees and packages, spa and wellness services, paid and complimentary outdoor experiences, meetings/events, one-time residence sales, recurring memberships, and Auberge Collection gift cards. Distribution runs through a direct booking engine on reserve.auberge.com, dedicated toll-free and resort phone lines, a trade portal for travel professionals, and cross-property visibility via the Auberge Collection portfolio. Customer segments span luxury leisure travelers, golf and sporting enthusiasts, wellness seekers, outdoor/adventure travelers, meetings and private-event clients, families, residence buyers, and regional VA/DC/NC residents targeted with a dedicated staycation rate. Marketing leans on third-party editorial recognition (Travel + Leisure, Golf Digest, GOLF Magazine), owned social channels (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest), email capture, owned editorial content, and brand partnerships.
