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.

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.

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.

Very enjoyable stay

I have no complaints about this property. I have never stayed at a better stocked home. The kitchen is ready for whatever you want to prepare and the bathrooms are also well-stocked. The garage is full of toys, coolers, and equipment that is enough for any large party. Overall a very thoughtfully prepared rental home. We will return for sure!
