This home had a Christmas tree to welcome us for the start of our family holiday! There was an amazing bunk room that allowed our young grandkids to play with plenty of room. They also loved the pool table and ping pong table. This house had it all!Communication was so easy it made it all a great experience.
My extended family stayed at the house, and we loved it. It has a wonderful, large living area, deck and kitchen. We loved having a pool table, ping pong and a kids bunk room. Plus, its location near Glaze Meadow pool is hard to beat!
Having come to black butte ranch for 15 years, our group agreed this was the best house by far.Spacious, super clean, well stocked, and in a perfect location.This house has everything!
We had such a great time and really enjoyed the location of the property. The outside space was so peaceful and inside was clean and very comfortable. We would definitely return!
We enjoyed staying at this property. It was close to a swimming pool/rec center and the property was obviously well maintained. We enjoyed our time very much!
We've been coming to BBR for many years and this is one of the best homes we have stayed at. Will definitely do again. Thank you so much for our great memories!
This home was amazing! We have a big family and there was plenty of room for everyone. A lot of games to entertain the kids and the adults. The pool is also a very short walk away. Great location! I would definitely stay here again.
Truly enjoyed my stay at Smiling River Lodge. Plenty of room to move around, billiards room, large dining room table, and massive outside deck. Freddie (host) was extremely easy to work with and accommodated our early check in request with no hesitation. Would absolutely recommend this home to others looking for a great place to bring a large group together in Black Butte Ranch.
Comfortable, well cared for property. The two suites allow for two families or two groups to easily share the house. There are plenty of towels, supplies, etc.
Our family of ten ranging in age from 9 to 79 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Smiling River Lodge. The home is very spacious and well appointed. We found everything we needed for cooking. Games and puzzles were readily available and the pool table, ping pong table and foosball table made for great family entertainment. The owner, Freddie, was very helpful and easy to contact. We will come back again!
We had 6 adults and 3 kids staying for 1 week over the Thanksgiving Holiday. So many "wow!" factors from the Christmas Tree when you walk in to the many fireplaces inside, window seats everywhere and all the fun things to do. The rec center is an easy, short walk away. Black Butte and all its amenities were great as well.
We will definitely be back!
