Coffee on the screened porch in the mornings, with birdsong serenades, and frogs jumping around the pond down the hill. Highly recommend this home - it's almost perfect! ##### Jeannie W.

The house has lots of little knickknacks, games and books. All just great little touches to make the space homey and comfortable. We had a great vacation!! ##### Fred S.

The 'Big Family Lodge' was a perfect fit for our family trip. The home was spacious enough for everybody and the area was quiet with no interruptions to our time together. The property manager was prompt in responding to questions and made himself available if needed, but also let us be to ourselves and enjoy the limited time we had together. There were a few minor things that I notified the manager about, but nothing that was an issue for our stay. Again, the property manager was prompt to respond. Based on our stay I would definitely recommend the property. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicole G.

The toys were a nice added touch that the kids really enjoyed. The host was responsive and kind. I would recommend that they invest in some new beds.. most of the beds were very uncomfortable. The bed that is shown as a king in the bunny room is two twin size beds pushed together, so the middle of the bed is very uncomfortable to sleep on. The bed in the zebra room is also not a queen. However, it was still a fun trip had by all and we appreciate having the opportunity to stay there. We would love to hear more about the history of the house and how it came to be! ##### Nicole G. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie K. Feb 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Unexpected! We held our family reunion at this property. Overall our experience was great. Check in was easy. The cleaning ladies weren't done when we got there so we piddled around for 30 minutes while they finished up. We did end up with an extra fee due to bonus children, but it was told it could be expected depending on their ages and if extra bedding was required (it wasn't, but the fee applied.) Make sure you're clear on that if you are close to/exceeding the number of people the house sleeps. The house has plenty of room and beds, very comfortable and homey place. The floor plan is a bit like a maze. There are things to discover at every turn, room to run, perfect for hide and seek. Note, the two downstairs bedrooms are connected and you walk through one to get to the other. It was hard to tell that from pictures and the property description. There is also a very soft spot in the floor under a rug that sort of sinks when you walk into the pool room. The owners may need to look into that for safety reasons. The house had everything you could think of, dishes, cookware, toys, games, books, puzzles. No one was bored and it's location near the Ark was great. The road up to the house is a little intimidating, especially in the dark. It's narrow and winding. But it spits you out on top with an incredible view. The last morning we woke up to a full double rainbow, and it was amazing! Everyone said they'd love to return in summer and use the pool and the fire pit. We had a great time. ##### Natalie K.
