Big Thunder Lodge | Beautiful Mountain Views | Luxury Cabin | Game Room | Hot Tub | Wi-Fi

This place had so many positives but the view has to be the best one. We saw bear cubs climbing trees from the back porch and the mountains appear endless. So much room to spread out and we were able to fit 11 around the dining table for family dinners together. The hot tub was large and wonderful many of us enjoyed ourselves regularly. Ample utensils and cookware in the kitchen. The access code to the front door made things super easy as no one had to carry a key and we loved that we could complete everything ahead of time and go straight to the cabin rather than an out of the way office. Checkout was just as easy with clear and simple instructions and we were on our way home. My only suggestion is better mattresses are needed. The management company was great and helpful and sent over extra pillows upon request which helped with the comfort so I really appreciated that. You cant go wrong with this place for a large group with each bedroom having its own private bath and each floor having an additional half bath. Also, each floor has a washer and dryer which was nice with so many people. Loved the extra den and kitchen on the lower floor, so much room to spread out, We were two adults with 9 teens ages 16-20 and never once did we feel crowded and they loved having their own space. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us, we had a wonderful family trip together.

We are 6 couples mostly from West Liberty State College, WV nearly 40 years ago who get together for a annual trip. this year we found big thunder lodge, it fit our needs perfectly. very nice rooms each with its own bathroom, clean, beautiful views and easy accessibility. the people i spoke with at the rental agency were always very friendly and helpful.

if i could change one thing it would be to add additional porch furniture to the top deck and make it more comfortable. we spend a good deal of time outside just catching up from the previous year.

Big Thunder is an amazing property. My friends and I had an amazing experience. From the more than ample space of the cabin to the hot tub, we couldn't have asked for a better property. Thank you Whyndam. We will definitely be back!

The unobstructed view of the Great Smokey Mountains is awesome. The space and well equipped kitchen is very comfortable for our group of "senior" travelers. Conveniently located near the gateway to Gatlinburg.

Don't settle onto the idea of a long hot and relaxing shower after a arduous hike on a cool November day. Not enough hot water to go around. Soap, rinse and move on. You can relax over an adult beverage by the fireplace.

The burners on the BBQ gas grill would cook much better by replacing or at least cleaning.

Don't leave the front or back exterior door cracked open unless you are willing to welcome in a visitor from the local raccoon population. Friendly, but hungry little critters. Be assured they don't understand your language.

We will probably return again next year, hoping for a better supply of hot water and a cleaner BBQ grill. We had mixed reviews within our party about the comfort of the beds. Some good, some "so, so". None bad. But, how good must it be for only a couple of nights?

We had a great time! The house is very spacious.
