The property was awesome and had lots of nice little things provided by the host like universal phone chargers. It was clean and exactly as pictured. The downstairs game area was perfect for us to play board games! The host was very kind and responsive. It was just a short trip to Chattanooga to visit the aquarium and other fun things. I would absolutely recommend this place!! ##### Violenity Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Claire T. Jul 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Rule Follower’s Resort! The property itself is decently nice. However, I’m certain they’ve had some pretty bad guests in the past. EVERYTHING around the home is labeled with directions on what to do and NOT to do (shut the fridge all the way, don’t cut directly on countertops, wash towels in this order, and many more). There were also many threats to charge you if you did or didn’t do things. I likely wouldn’t stay here again just because I felt like I was going to mess something up. Location is fairly close to downtown Chattanooga. Just my thoughts as a frequent VRBO user! ##### Claire T. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annette P.

Big Oak Lodge made it possible for us to stay together as a family. It was a great location. Quiet area. We were able to have family join us and enjoyed the games fire pit grill air hockey and the overall home. Our host Tanna was quick to respond with and concerns. Great place. ##### Annette P.

She was very attentive and friendly. The house was perfect for our needs, close to family and things to do. The kids loved playing air hockey and running around at the playgrounds across the street (jungle gyms on other side of school too)! We enjoyed the fire pit - wood and fire starters worked perfectly! Beds were so comfy, nobody wanted to wake up in the mornings and we had such sound sleeps. We would recommend this place to others and would have no qualms about staying again! Thank you, Tanna! ##### Katie M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary A.

The balcony off the kitchen and fire pit were especially big hits for the entire family. We found the kitchen well equipped with pots & pans, cooking utensils, dishes and silverware. There were plenty of bath towels for all seven of us. Our seven grandchildren spent much of their time in the game room. The large table allowed them to play board games and work on jigsaw puzzles together. Property owner was always helpful and responsive. ##### Mary A.

Aug 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great spot for family to stay Was in town with a other family for fishing. Place worked well for us and really enjoyed the game room downstairs. Driveway is quite steep but knew that going in. There was ample room behind the house to pull our boat around to re-rig, cover, charge, etc. Coming down the hill to leave with the boat we needed to take it at an angle so the trailer did not bottom out (21 foot skeeter). But doing that it ended up working very well for us. Would stay again. Very close to grocery store which was very nice. Host was very responsive and had great communication. ##### Jared P.
