Great family stay with enough privacy for each family group

Beautiful, clean & spacious accommodations for all ages. Game room with video, arcade, ping pong & more. Gorgeous, nature-filled backyard with jacuzzi, and great location to Sedona, Flagstaff, the Grand Canyon and more. Lots of stairs as advertised but worth the effort. Would stay there again!

National Park Visit

We chose to stay in Flagstaff and drive between the two National Parks (Grand Canyon and Petrified Forest). The Big Lodge was wonderful accommodations, a very fun house, and lots of activities around it. Everyone had a fabulous time.

Beautiful stay

Absolutely loved the location, the house was great. My only con is the amount of stairs, tripped while carrying luggage inside from our car as the stairs were pretty narrow compared to my feet. Other than that though, great experience/stay.

Great house and owners

We had a great time staying here. Place was big to accommodate our large group. Kitchen had all the necessary items to make meals for everyone as well. The owners were great! I had mentioned we were going to the polar express in Williams and they left a hand written note with a gingerbread train for the kids to make! Would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Great Mountain getaway!

Great place to gather family and friends! The house is room, cozy, and clean! The stairs are plentiful, so being able to go up and down stairs is required. I loved that we could have our dog there too. We had deer roaming the area morning and evening, it was beautiful! I highly recommend this place!

Amazing home for families and groups!

This well-loved, fun, quirky home, was the perfect home base for 3 small families to explore the Grand Canyon and Sedona area together. The kids looooved the game room, the huge back yard, and the hot tub. The adults loved the large, incredibly well-stocked kitchen, the clean home, and comfortable beds. Towels and pillows were plentiful, extra blankets were easy to find, and the two washer/dryers and two kitchens were amazing! The hosts have really thought of everything and stocked this house incredibly well for families. We really loved our stay here, and know you will too!

Amazing property!

This place was amazing! Big enough for our large group of 8. Lots of stairs. The beds were a bit stiff which was the only complaint from our group. Hot tub and backyard are absolutely fantastic. Made for a very memorable reunion of friends. I was worried about spending a good chunck for this place, but have 0 regrets! Don't feed the jackalope!

Terrific home base for day trip to Grand Canyon

Our family, ranging from age 7 to 79, greatly enjoyed our 2-night stay at the "BIG R" Lodge. It was a terrific home base for a day trip to the south rim of the Grand Canyon, where most of our group enjoyed a helicopter tour by Papillon, as recommended by Krista. A visit to the Grand Canyon was on my bucket list. The helicopter tour was not, but it should have been! It was incredible to see just how big it is, and to fly over both the south and north rims and to see the differences in landscape and vegetation due to the difference in elevation. The house had enough bedrooms for our family, and the multiple levels were great for different age groups keeping different hours. We appreciated Krista's local dining suggestions, which we found to be just right!
Response from VrboOwner on 29 March 2020
We love having guests like Tom and his family. Having guests who are excited to explore northern Arizona makes us happy! I am so glad you were able to see the Grand Canyon from the air. There are really no words to describe how breathtaking the views are. We are also glad our home’s layout worked great for your family. It is amazing how many different areas are used by different groups. I always loved the fact you can’t hear noises from different levels of the home. Thank you so much for staying with us. We welcome you back anytime!

Flagstaff Vacation

We had a great time. The house fit all 13 of us very comfortably. Loved seeing the deers in the morning and evenings. The kids and adults loved the game room! The pictures looked better than it really was. The house is truly 3 odd levels. The kids cave was very hot and a bit disgusting. The bed in the room with the buck beds needs to be replaced because it is sunken in the middle and being held up by bricks. My grandson had the worst back ache and he is only 7. Just a few hiccups…we still had a wonderful time.

The perfect place for a lot of famiy

We stayed at the Big R for Thanksgiving with my husband and two girls - plus my parents, my sister, my husband's parents, his two sisters and their families - 13 of us total! The Big R was the perfect for our size. First of all, Krista and Roy were great hosts. Totally communicative and available for any questions. They don't treat their property like just another rental - it is their home and you can feel the warmth as soon as you walk in. There are a bunch of little nooks and crannies if you need your privacy - or if you all want to hang out together, the big couch on the living room fits plenty! Or, if the weather is nice, you can all fit outside and hang out together there too! They even have a fun activity for the littles called a "treasure trail" where the kids can hunt for small little plastic treasures along a small path of about 8 feet - my preschoolers LOVED it it played with their treasures all week. The hot tub is clean and modern and a really fun place to get away after the kids go to bed or after a long hike. The dining room fit all of us (adults) at one table and there are extra card tables and fold chairs available if you need them (we used these for the kids). The kitchen had everything we needed including - a second kitchen for all the Thanksgiving cooking! :) They have all the dishes and serve ware, fridge and cupboards that are plenty big to keep everything for a big family. Lots of extra pillows and blankets if you need them and a bunch of TVs throughout the house if your group likes to watch different things. We are really grateful for The Big R and so glad we had such a beautiful home to spend our special holiday! Thank you Krista and Roy!

Well that was an awesome review! Thank you so much. I love that you were able to describe so perfectly how we want our home to feel to our guests. We really do want you to feel comfortable and like family. The way I see it is we are family and you are welcome to snuggle in and enjoy anything that interests you. I am glad your girls enjoyed the Treasure Trail. I want to keep hiding more fun things for kids to look for in the yard... maybe like a BIG R scavenger hunt. Tell your entire family thank you from us!

The Big R Lodge Doesn't Disappoint!

My friends and I stayed at the Big R Lodge and it was absolutely wonderful! If you are looking for a nice home to stay at with a larger group, this home is the perfect pick! First, this home has several levels to it and rooms and bathrooms on each level. This makes it SO nice for privacy for a large group. We had 5 couples in our group and three single gals, so each couple was able to have their own room and the bathrooms were split up to equally serve the rooms so the ratio of people to bedrooms and bathrooms was even. A huge perk of this house was the backyard! It was really big and had several areas for people to hang out, including a jacuzzi! It had outdoor games, tiki torches, and a really nice grill. Perfect if you enjoy the outdoors like we do. There are also several areas to hang out inside the house if you feel like spreading out. Perfect if you want space and don't want to hang out with your entire group the whole trip (haha)! The house was clean, the beds were very comfortable, and we didn't have any complaints! I have to say that the best part of the house were the owners. They are extremely kind and welcoming and will go out of their way to make you feel comfortable in their home. I messaged with Krista several times to ask questions before our stay, so don't be shy in reaching out to her. I also messaged with her throughout our stay and the day we left and she was so friendly and fun to talk to. My friends and I joked that she and Roy are the kind of people we would want to hang out with and that we should have invited them over to BBQ! I would definitely stay at the Big R Lodge again if i had the opportunity to and I encourage anyone considering renting this house to go for it. You won't be disappointed!

Self-contained resort

We loved this property, although it might not work for someone who has trouble with stairs. Because it's set into a hillside, there's no ground floor per se: when you open the front door, you have to climb a flight of stairs to get to the lowest living level (with the Big Bear room, the Wilderness room, and the fabulous arcade room), and then another flight to get to the main level (with the Pinecone room and the Lavender room.) The room AC units kept things comfortable during the day, and opening the windows at night cooled the whole house down quite well. The grounds are like a resort all their own. There are several outdoor conversation/seating areas with comfortable sofas, a waterfall running into a pond, and a dining area with two gas grills, all set in the pine trees. We really enjoyed our stay here, and would recommend it to anyone for whom stairs are not an issue (we had two adults in their mid-80's, and they had no problem - although they're both from Colorado at a similar elevation as Flagstaff.)

July trip to Flagstaff

House itself was fantastic. Lots of spaces for our 3 families to hang out. Backyard also has lots of different spaces as well. Game room was a big hit with everyone. Easy access off the highway and short drive to downtown Flagstaff. Would absolutely rent again. We were there in July. House does not have central air conditioning. The portable A/C units helped but couple of the bedrooms got warm during the day but were perfectly fine at night.

Great Family Space

The house was all it said to be. Great décor and fun to read all the signs. Read listing there are ALOT of stairs. Only thing I would say was wrong with that many stairs and no access to garage made it tough to drag our ski gear in and out every day. Other than that its a great place.

Wonderful Home for the Holiday!

The size of the home was perfect for our family vacation. We brought along mom and my sisters family and it provided enough gathering space and personal space when needed. Home was decorated so beautifully for the Christmas holiday! Plenty of fun art, kitchen supplies to cook full course meals! We loved early Morning coffee and watching the deers visit right outside the window! We played in the snow at the golf course, which was a 10 min walk, and baked cookies and watched holiday movies at night. Everything we wanted for was provided in the house and the host was available And communicative throughout. Can’t wait to visit again!
