Theresa
Becky was welcoming when we arrived. We had a large uhaul trailor and a large box car. We needed to plug our freezer in that was in the box car. She set us up in one of the rv sites we offered to pay for the RV site but she sold not let us. We also had to extend our stay one night at the last minute as our closing got delayed. She did not hesitate to help us. The room was clean and felt very homey. It has alot of character and rustic ranch gel to it. I can't thank Becky enough for everything. I would recommend her lodge.
Anna
We stayed as a family of 4 in the room with 3 beds for 2 nights.
We chose the larger room b.c of the picnic table in the room and the “kitchenette” area (full sized fridge, microwave, double sink; plates, bowls, cups, utensils, can opener provided. No stove).
We also used the provided grill (BYOCharcoal, tongs, and lighter).
The large bathroom with fluffy, white towels was a huge plus!!
The beds were good/pleasant, pillows okay (if you’re picky, bring your own).
The TV comes with Hulu+ but you can also sign into your own streaming services. WiFi was free, easy to connect to, and strong.
The lodge building is part of a farm-type property and is very no-frills. But if you need a room that feels like a hotel, this is the one.
We will return.
PS Be aware - the nearest “restaurant” is 12 minutes away; “town” is 20 minutes away with limited amenities (there is a Walmart). We prepared all our own meals (made-ahead to be microwaved, meat on the grill, sandwiches, etc). That being said, I am already planning a return trip to Pickett and BSF because the area really is so great

The room was very clean! The porch, swing and rocking chairs were wonderful! Air conditioning and bed were great! Will definitely go back!
Louella
Clean room, nice for the price. Kitchenette which was nice to have.
Jacob
This is a horse camp area. And they allow pets. Just make sure you and your pets can respect the room. Wonderful place
Darren
Room clean with friendly staff.
Sally
Owner was excellent. Room was large. Updated bathroom. Fridge & microwave & small one cup coffee maker. Conviently located to the Glow Worm hike in Hazard Cave. Would recommend to others. Lots of horse back riding around the area.
Jennifer
Super friendly staff. The whole place is charming. Will definitely return.
Jennifer
We absolutely loved this place! The owners were the best and so helpful! We had a tire in need of air and they helped us get it filled and were so kind. The room was wonderful! It was clean and comfortable. The bathtub was amazing and the water was hot! I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful area and lots to do if you love the outdoors!
Alisa
Great spot to stay! Cute, clean rooms with a nice bathtub. Horses are welcome here!
Michelle
Communication was great, very comfortable room with lots of appreciated touches. No cell service or internet, but not a bad thing, forced us to unplug for a night!
Kai
Extremely comfortable and firm beds. Responsible staffs
Sally
Beautiful lodge with a wonderful staff❣️ amazing hiking in the area!!! We will be back!
janet
Excellent value. After a day of hiking, it was great to come back to a hot shower and comfortable beds. Towels were fluffy and beds had nice soft quilts and blankets. Very spacious main room and bath.
Christina S
I am a bit leery of small places like this, but this one far exceeded my expectations. This is not a five-star resort. This is a small roadside Lodge that is locally owned for a night of restful sleep. It was clean and felt safe. The host was wonderful. The only thing you should know if there are no restaurants close by. If you want to eat, do it in town before you arrive. This would be a perfect place to stay if you are wanting to go into Big South Fork for night sky programs
Karyn
Extremely clean. I think Becky thought of everything! Communication was great. Location close to Big South Fork was perfect. Highly recommend and would stay there next time I head that direction to hike!
Ashley
It was great! Perfect size room for our family. Owner was lovely. We will definitely be staying again when visiting family in the area.
Michael
This was a great stay convenient to lots of hiking trails and sight seeing. The lodge was everything I expected and more. Quiet area and it really felt like I transported back in time but still had upgraded amenities and technology.
Sabrina
She was quick to reply and was very helpful when we forgot some necessities. The room was clean and updated. Will definitely come back when in town again.
Mindi
Great stay !
Craig
Very nice place and great staff!
The room is clean and very nice. The staff has been wonderful. We were in town for a wedding so a lot of time to kill and they were more then accommodating with our times. Highly recommend.
Amanda
Will stay again!
Wonderful southern hospitality, beautiful nature surrounding. Family friendly. Safe & comfortable. Beautiful interior.
Ron
Beautiful location
Jayne
Big South Fork Lodge is a real gem! The
Host (Becky) was extremely pleasant and welcoming! We had a room with two (2) queen beds. The room was large and very clean. The bathroom sported soft, large & fluffy towels. The water pressure in the shower was terrific! The bed was very comfortable (best night’s sleep)! On a side note-the Expedia write up indicates there is a restaurant on site - this is INCORRECT. There is a local eatery within a 15 minute drive (Beaty’s), nothing fancy, but very tasty food!

The room was very clean and large. The bath was terrific. We enjoyed out two nights at the Lodge.
Robert
Amazing location. Very spacious rooms with all the amenities that you would need for a great stay. Enjoyed our stay, would recommend.
Jeffry
It was right next to the main event, Big South Fork and close to Pickett CCC State Park. We werent there with hirses but chikd met a couple who entertained her for a vit. Very friendly people there
Vasiliy
The Lodge is very good. Becky (host) is outstanding. Good location within Big South Fork. Recommend to stay. You won't be disappointed. Continuous improvements opportunities noted below DID NOT impact our stay
From continuous improvement perspective, the one observation is that the trash can outside the cabin needed to be emptied. Also, make sure to let Becky know if you need shampoo/conditioner ahead of time. For hygienic reasons, those items are given upon request.

Debra
Becky was so friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and cozy.

Tavia
Property manager was kind and helpful with recommendations
Angela
What a wonderful night stay I had here! The room was super clean and Becky was so kind and welcoming!! I wish I was staying longer than 1 night ! I ended up running behind schedule on my travels and she so graciously let me check in late. If I’m ever traveling down through this area again, I will definitely stay here!! Thank you Becky for a wonderful nights stay!!
Michelle
Great place. Cleanest place I have ever stayed at.
Ashley
What a gem! The rooms are much larger than expected, the tub was very deep, the sour conditioning worked well. It was serene and extremely clean. They were very generous with soaps, towels, coffee, etc. I would definitely rebook.
Candi
Clean and Safe
Great little place! I stayed to be close to a hiking site. It was perfect and safe for a solo traveler.
Kim
I have never stayed a lodge before, this was my first experience and they knocked it out of the park! Very nice rooms, very spacious, clean, if I could’ve stayed longer I would have for sure, the atmosphere was also inviting and serene to take in the wilderness from the rocking chairs on the porch. Staff is very friendly and helpful
Rajabali
The place was very clean. The service and staff were good and friendly. It is a safe and reliable place around the area.

Chantelle
Simple comfort.
Great little place. Simple yet meets all your needs in the perfect way. A nice little find. The room was spacious and bathroom was very modern. Becky was very friendly. We definitely would stay here again if we’re ever in the area.
Victoria
Checking in with Becky was super easy. Great communication. The room was very large and extremely clean. The beds were comfortable. Slept very well.

Ricky
Becky was wonderful to deal with. Highly recommend staying here!
Sherryl
The area is very scenic. I enjoyed how quiet it was.
Carolynn
Really liked the room we had. 3 queen beds and picnic table was an awesome idea. Bathroom was very nice. That being said I think the one queen bed is too close to air conditioner. It was pretty warm even with it down low. When u have 5 or 6 people a few more mirrors and plugs are needed. But all and all was very good
David
Beautiful scenery driving to the cabin. Property and cabin was very clean. Staff and service was excellent.
Mary
Very clean and comfortable. Will definitely stay again
Adrienne
This was a gorgeous place to stay that was warm welcoming. It was peaceful, quiet, and affordable. I'd absolutely go back and would refer to others.
Paul
The location, rooms, and customer service are all good reasons for choosing this property.
Location: As the name suggests, the property is conveniently close to the excellent hiking in the Big South Fork area.
Rooms: Despite the simple, rustic appearance of the exterior, the rooms are modern and clean, and the checkout process is more streamlined than the one found at a lot of large chain hotels.
Service: The owner is especially personable and helpful. She provided information about the area and even let me borrow one of her books of trails.
I will likely stay here again on my next trip to the area.

Great Lodge in NPS space
We loved this little lodge and would stay here again. Perfect location for Big South Fork hiking. Super clean, super friendly staff, super organized
Anusha
The staff at Big South Fork Lodge went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant and memorable! I would highly recommend staying here for it's proximity to several trailheads in the area and the geneous hospitality of the staff.
Jacklyn
The staff was extremely friendly. The room was clean and spacious. The beds were so comfortable.
Mary Gail
Deluxe room was perfect for the four of us. A hidden gem very rustic but clean and comfortable with updated bathroom. Owner was very nice and helpful even calling us about articles left in the room so we could come back and get them. Definitely recommend 😀
Rong
The room is large and very clean.
John
Very quiet and peaceful area. Will come here again.
Dawn
It was clean as a pin.
Susie
A friend was camping in Pickett State Park. All cabins we're booked & this was closest place with vacancies. What a hidden gem! Updated, clean, great water pressure.
There aren't many places to eat, so pack accordingly. Thank you Becky for a peaceful stay.

Very clean room with everything we needed.
Valinta
Becky the manager was super friendly and helpful with hiking suggestions. The lodge was very very clean and quiet. Loved the bathroom! We had a microwave, small refrigerator and coffeemaker. The only drawback is the restaurant close by doesn’t open until 11am for breakfast. If you are an early riser, bring your own breakfast stuff.

It was a very laid back country feel
Michelle
We stayed at the big South fork lodge as a base camp for hiking around the area. The room was perfect so clean. The owner Becky was so accommodating and if we need anything she was right there.
Shannon
Stayed 2 nights at the lodge.
Being dog friendly was a major plus! We had 3 with us so there was a small extra charge. Owner was very cool and nice to chat with about the area. Beds were comfy, but tv was a little hard to navigate (streaming tv) with very few standard satellite channels, but not a big issue.
Would definitely stay here again.

Terri
This property is geared towards people who have horses, which we don’t. So can’t really comment on the amenities. The lodge was very nice even being old. It looks to have been renovated recently. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The owner was very personable and gave great suggestions for the area. We took our dog and they were very accommodating for him.
Alyce
Great value!!
Barbara
Highly recommend!
Very clean, easy check in. I would definitely stay again!
Melissa
wonderful and beautiful place to say
Jacqueline
Laundry detergent is a too strong for my liking, but the place is quiet and clean. The bathrooms are spectacular.
Megan
The room was very clean and cozy with plenty of space to move around and a nice size bathroom. The water pressure in the shower was fantastic!
John
Great stay in a very clean room and comfortable room
Betsy
When we arrive the staff was so welcoming. The room was spotless. Loved walking around the property. Only thing is you have to travel a little ways to find a restaurant. But other than that I would recommend it.
janice
We stayed here while my brother was doing an endurance race. Very convenient. Spotless accommodations.
George
Very pleasant stay
Kristy
The staff and the owner of the property was very very helpful wonderful wonderful place to stay
Kevin
Very nice host. Great property that met all of our needs.
Melanie
Very comfortable and beautiful room. Would definitely stay there again.
Brent
Friendly, Great Communication and immaculate, spotless rooms. Rebooked another stay on another travel already. Five Stars.
Douglas
It was unique and pleasant place would recommend it to everyone
Leon
Nice, clean, and fairly priced!
Myself and a few friends took a ride through the mountains on our motorcycles. We found the lodge online and it filled all needs. Rooms were nice sized and clean. Bathrooms were stocked with plenty of clean towels and soap. Only issue I can point out, is if you have a three bed room around back, and on a motorcycle, DO NOT park down below. The gravel is piled high but your bike will sink its tire trying to go up the ramp. Had to ride the grass edge to get back up. So save yourself some headache and just park up front.
Otherwise the stay was great, and the owner very friendly as well as helpful. Would use the lodge again if in the area.
