Great for adult retreats

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was perfect and ideal to host for 6 couples. Each couple had their own room and en suite. The two additional half baths was perfect for participants that did not stay in the cabin. The double kitchen relieved us from tracking back and forth to retrieve refrigerated items. We plan on staying here again.

close, but not a 10

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Maintenance was a little lacking. Hot tub was only a warm tub, mixing out at 99 degrees. Warped and split decking is a trip hazard and potential for more serious foot injuries Ceiling fan in main room makes a noise like a bad bearing, Had to turn it off. Garbage bins outside never emptied in two weeks. Dryer ran for hours for a few towels. Not enough supplies for 2 weeks, garbage bags, soaps and detergents.
Response from VrboOwner on 1 Nov 2024
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re glad you stayed with us, and we’re truly sorry to hear that certain aspects of maintenance did not meet your expectations. We appreciate you letting us know about the hot tub, deck, and fan—these are important details, and our team will address them promptly to ensure a safer and more comfortable experience for future guests. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the outdoor bins and the limited supplies, we pick up the trash when we are called and we do make it known in the agreement that we only supply a starter pack of items then it is up to the guest to supply the rest. Thank you again for your valuable insights, and we hope to have the chance to provide you with a smoother experience next time.

Beautiful Cabin & Vies

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was beautiful and the views were very nice. It was convenient as far as getting to local attractions. It was secluded yet not isolated. The layout was great and the technology as far as the stereo and theater was really good.The cabin could have been cleaner (found previous renter's garbage in bathroom garbage bins and the floors did not appear to have been cleaned in ages) so housekeeping could have done a MUCH better job and a few minor repairs (dishwasher almost falls out on the floor when loaded as not nailed into the countertop) and door lock and window blind issues, but nothing major. Really needs just a little TLC in cleaning and minor, minor repairs. Overall, it was great and we would recommend and return!

Nor my usual stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I booked The Big Thunder cabin for my family and let me say it wasn't my usual Stay .All of the best mattresses were outdated .One side wore out so bad my husband kept rolling down to my side .We woke up everyday to back pains along with other members of my family .Ask maker wasn't working .Hair on sheets when my sister was getting on her bed .Remotes had big blue electric tape on the back of them .I must day the maintenance guy brought my sister fresh sheets .He came to look at the ice maker and said it was on and cut it on but it went out again so we just bought ice Power went our on one side of home but thankfully maintenance guy was their fo help .The powered ceiling fan in the downstairs queen bedroom didn't work and we were told the remote was broke and had to be ordered .I asked for just a portion of a refund or a discount on another cabin but was asically told no .Because my family was there we just made the best of our time together. IVE never stayed at wild briar always elks property so this was not the norm for me
Response from VrboOwner on 25 Apr 2024
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear about your experience at the Big Thunder Lodge . It is disappointing to hear about the discomfort with the mattresses and the issues with the ice maker, power outage, and ceiling fan. We understand that these inconveniences affected your stay, and we apologize for any discomfort they caused you and your family. It is good to know that our maintenance team was helpful in bringing fresh sheets and addressing some of the problems, but it is clear that this did not fully resolve the issues. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our maintenance and customer service processes. Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. We value your feedback and hope you will give us another opportunity to provide you with a better experience.

Our new favorite location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: This cabin worked perfectly for us. Location was convenient to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The cabin was spacious and large with excellent views. We preferred this location to previous stays. Really good value and the Elks Lodge Resort team very attentive. A few of the excellent features of this cabin: Every bedroom with a private bath. Two master suites. Two full kitchens. Two living areas. Downstairs bedrooms that open onto deck, two beautiful decks, also. Pool table and video game. A fully equipped cabin like this allows you to cook meals, have breakfast before daily adventures or pack a picnic for rides into the Great Smoky Mountain Park... that saves you real money. Cabin is close to Roaring Forks Motor Trail and Dollywood. Grocery stores available nearby without having to deal with downtown Pigeon Forge traffic. The cabin was clean and other than a couple very minor maintenance issues, we will definitely see if this cabin is available next time we are in the area. We stayed with a group of Australian friends who had never been to Smoky Mountais... they said this cabin was their favorite stay of our entire 6 week trip through Tennessee, Georgia and Mississippi. We are already trying to schedule a large family gathering at this cabin in the Fall. Thank you for an excellent vacation stay.

Great Week at Big Thunder Lodge

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Big Thunder Lodge did not disappoint. We had 12 people in our party and we did not feel cramped or on top of each other. Having 6 bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and two floors allowed everyone to spread out as needed. The view from the porch was amazing! The hot tub and pool table allowed for family fun and bonding. Gatlinburg was a short drive away, as was the entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The mix of hiking, rafting, and shopping made for a great week. We would definitely stay at Big Thunder Lodge again.

We Didn't Want to Leave!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We stayed at the Big Thunder Lodge for 3 nights. The photos on the Internet while beautiful do not give this cabin justice. It was absolutely beautiful. We had 10 guests and were more than comfortable. The view is awesome and the king suites on the main level are like honeymoon suites. Loved the 2 kitchens and the 2 living rooms. It also has 2 decks with plenty of chairs.The king suites on main level open up to the upper balcony and the 2 queen suites on the lower level open up to the lower deck. The resort staff were very accommodating and friendly. We did have an issue with the air conditioning on the lower level and they had to replace the motor will definitely be back. The only bad part of our stay is that we had to leave.

Having the 2 kitchens available was great as we had lots of food and drink to serve 12 people. We will definitely come back to Big Thunder. We made a lot of memories with our friends. THe location of the lodge was convenient to get to Gatlinburg and in to Pigeon Forge.
