The perfect escape
We had an amazing time at the Big Lodge. It's secluded enough for privacy- a bear walked right past the front door- yet close to town for grocery runs and dinners out. We loved walking down the steep drive to cross the swinging bridge. The house was spacious, the beds were super comfortable, and the rooms were all gorgeous. The game room was a huge hit with a nice pool table and arcade games.
The kitchen is a bit small for big parties (we had 11) but the downstairs refrigerator was a great plus and made the kitchen fully functional.
We had a problem with one of the three ACs the first day and the host came over immediately, called in a technician, and it was resolved the same day. The location is amazing - just minutes away from the National Park and tubing right on the Little River. Our favorite spot in town was The Peaceful Side for drinks and dinner. We loved their weekend taco stand and the beer was great.
This house really checked all the boxes for us. It was super clean, had easy clean up duties, was spacious and beautifully appointed, and had walk out on the main floor as well as the basement. We would definitely come back and it was well worth the rental cost for a large group.
