Excellent property, very good, prompt communication. Great facilities. Rustic feel. Pool table, video games, mini golf on the deck. Relaxing rocking chairs. It’s next to a river and 5 minutes from a tubing company to float down the river. We bought our own tubes and rode them in the river. The kitchen is rather small but functional. We hope to go back next year!

We needed a place for us and our four kids families, and the lodge was the perfect choice! Everyone in our group of 17 loved the space, and commented how big it felt. Both kids and adults loved the game room. It was very clean, the beds were comfortable, kitchen well stocked, plenty of linens, and we all agreed we’d like to stay here again in the future!

There are so many good things about The Big Lodge that I will simply list the ones that stand out in my mind. Comfortable beds, good water pressure and plenty of hot water, beautiful decor, little extras everywhere that made our stay so nice. The host was great, he even took us on a tour of his farm. And of course his peacocks were a favorite of the kids. We’ve been renting cabins for over ten years and this is our favorite so far. Everyone in our family wants to return. Thanks!!!

Great place

Overall a great place to stay with the family.we had a fantastic time at the cabin and lots to do all around, but the only dissatisfaction i had with the place is that they stated they had a charcoal grill and its acually a gas grill turned into a carcoal grill with no temperature control so it ended up overcooking the food and burning it.

Awesome family gathering cabin!

We had 8 adults and 9 grandchildren from 1 year to 7 years old When our 7 old grandson toured the cabin and saw the miniature golf , air hockey, pool table , and PAC Man he said “Grandma picked the perfect cabin !” It was secluded yet with easy access to Townsend and the Smoky Mountains. Highly recommend!
