Perfect stay all around.

The house is absolutely stunning and in a great location. The kitchen was stocked with everything you'd ever need for cooking with a group. Tons of appliances, space, dishware. Hot tub and deck was super cozy and enough beds for everyone. Thank you to the host for letting us enjoy the space, we had an amazing time.

Great Place for a Family Winter Trip

This is a gorgeous home that has everything you could possibly want. It has lots of room on multiple levels. The kitchen is completely stocked with every dish or cooking utensil as well as blenders, multiple coffee, pots, slow cookers, etc.. Good amount of Ispices that help you get going. It has a great icemaker. A Jacuzzi and the beds are extremely comfortable. As with any big home, there’s sometimes some things that are not caught when the cleaners come in but a call to the rental company was met with immediate response and qualified vendors that came out and fix things immediately. I highly recommend this home for multiple family getaway either winter or summer.

Big Buck Lodge. A Lovely Ski Lodge

Big Buck Lodge is a beautiful home with windows that bring the outdoors in. With the numerous ensuite bedrooms and large bunkbed room, the 12 of us had plenty of room to be together or to be alone. We enjoyed many games and conversations at the table built for 12. The location of the home is excellent.Our complaints were few: an icy driveway which didn't get de-iced very well when we requested it be done; a steam shower that we couldn't turn on; lightbulbs out in a couple places.We would gladly return to Big Buck Lodge for either summer fun or winter skiing.the dining room forfor 12.

Awesome house for a big group

We stayed here with a group of 10 family members for a ski trip - and this place was great. The house is very spacious, everyone pretty much has their own bathroom, the kitchen is stocked with every utensil or piece of cookware you need to cook at home (I think there are 3 coffee makers and 3 coffee bean grinders?), the dining table is huge and fits everyone easily, there are two TV/sofa rooms for everyone to relax, and there's a large supply of towels and extra linens (not to mention 2 washer/dryers). Our kids (8 and 10) also loved the kids bunk room - they had their own space too. The hot-tub is great in the backyard for relaxing after skiing (note to the owners: you need to fix the cover, as the arm is broken to easily put it on/off). Check-in was easy with the management company texting the code to get in. Would definitely recommend for large groups. Any downsides? They were pretty minor in our book. For example, it does feel like this unit hosts a lot of large groups: it could use a coat of paint in some of the bedrooms, could dust some of the higher-up fixtures, there was snow in the driveway that wasn't super well shoveled (but good-enough), the sofa is feeling a little worn. But not deal breakers -- these things knock it from a 10 to a 7.5 in our book. We all liked staying here (no regrets) but just calling these out in case you expect it to be immaculate like a luxury hotel. It's a really large, upscale house, that's solid for hosting big groups.

Big Buck Lodge in Fall

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our annual family reunion was well-placed by staying at the Big Buck Lodge. All six bedrooms and bathrooms were welcoming and functional. There was plenty of room inside and out to meet as a group or to get away from the hustle and bustle of a reunion. We really enjoyed the closeness to wonderful wooded hiking trails. And visiting in early October brought cool, pleasant weather and fewer traffic jams. Would consider Big Buck again

It was a great property for our annual family Lake trip. It was well stocked and there was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was perfect for cooking big family meals and the dining table big enough for everyone to eat together and for game nights. We played ping pong, enjoyed the hot tub, and rode bikes. The property management team was very responsive when we had a minor issue and we are already looking at going back.
