Every Memorial Day we stay at Big Lick and every year we love it. Great property, great hosts and the rest and relaxation we always love. The houses on property are well kept and the owners are kind and responsive always.
Beautiful property, responsive hosts. We can’t wait to come back for another visit.
Plenty of space, view was spectacular, quiet, starry skies, lovely walks.
Relaxing and beautiful. Breathtaking views. Quiet and felt like we had the mountains all to ourselves. Fishing was great. Would recommend to anyone!!!!!
We so enjoyed the views! Erin and Tim were very kind! Looking forward to coming back again!
Remoteness was what we were after.
For the benefit of anyone looking to stay here make sure you plan on the gas grill being broken, the screen door being broken and the door being left inside leaning against the wall the handle on the shower faucet was broken, the wiring going to the blower on the fireplace is frayed and dangerous no insulation on the wires and left there where children could take and try to plug it in, there was dog hair all over the bed as a matter of fact I picked up my power supply for the computer and the velcro from the power supply had gobs of dog hair stuck to it look like tumbleweed then after we get there we find out we can't use any of the property or the pond which we had purchased out of state fishing license for we were told it was because it was hunting season so we thought we would stay on the roads only and the hunters literally screamed at us from the woods and then we got a notice from the property owner that we were in trouble because we had used the roads. And on top of all of this the couch recliner on the one side was broken another recliner chair was also broken and non-functional without a lot of effort. We spent a lot per night it would have been a great place to stay if it were about half the price but at the price we paid not so much. Just thought I'd try to help those who would look and see all the five star reviews and let you know it's not as nice as what we had expected.
We had a great time and would definitely return. The property owner was responsive and easy to communicate with.
Beautiful property! Very peaceful and spectacular views. The private dock was an awesome spot to relax and and swim with friends. Will be retiring to the lake view lodge
Wonderful stay and beautiful property
