We were heading to the swell around 6:30 p.m. and encountered heavy rains. No way where we going to set up a camp in a tent in the rain so we ended up finding Big Mountain Lodge. We dropped in the staff was very kind and we ended up in a cabin. Cabin number 22. Great little cabin awesome shower & bathroom, really nice accommodations. We're so glad once we checked into the cabin it started pouring. Tomorrow is a new day.
Brad and Julie and staff are amazing! Their son Travis smoked us up some great beef ribs. Brad and Julie made us feel like family. Perfect spot to rest your head after a day on the Swell
We come here several times every year for boating trips. The beds are much better than any of the air b and b's we have stayed at in the area. Some pillows need upgrades, so bring your own if you are like me. The pizza is great after a long day of boating, but we are definitely missing the fried zucchini they had last year. The staff is always kind and helpful. We love staying here. 10/10
Clean, nice and all you need. The town is quiet and delightful. Staff was super friendly. We were allowed to check in early as our room was already clean. Make sure you pay attention to their hours of operation as their store is basically the only game in town. Food options in the town are limited. Ferron is quiet and a great place to use as your jumping off point for the Swell. This lodge is in a perfect spot.
We attended the Swell Jamboree 2024 last week. Had a great time. All of the lodge staff were great! They took great care of us. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and clean. We would recommend Big Mountain Lodge to anyone wanting explore the area. We will attend the Swell Jamboree next year based on the great experience we had last week and will be staying at the Big Mountain Lodge. BTW, don't forget to try the food and milk shakes at the Grub Box across the street. It was awesome!
We stayed in one of the cabins and they were so nice, private, spacious, and CLEAN (that's a big deal to me). I loved getting up in the morning and going to the store for my latte. Highly recommend. Excellent location and friendly staff.
Very interesting place. It's a gas station, motel/cabins, diner, convenience store, gift shop, adventure/rental center, and gun store. The staff works multiple jobs and they were always courteous. I ordered the chicken bacon grinder from the diner. I didn't have high expectations but it was actually really good. My friend had a different chicken sandwich and also said it was delicious.
We have spent a few nights randomly working here in town. The staff is great! The fact there is a pool table, air hockey and foosball is awesome! 1 of our cabins was gorgeous tonight’s needs a little update expecially the transition strip when coming in but all in all it’s clean comfortable there’s food and the gas station and there is cornhole too. I’d stay here again and again! And IS THERE A WIFI PASSWORD?
