Winter relaxation

Our family of ten ranging in age from 9 to 79 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Smiling River Lodge. The home is very spacious and well appointed. We found everything we needed for cooking. Games and puzzles were readily available and the pool table, ping pong table and foosball table made for great family entertainment. The owner, Freddie, was very helpful and easy to contact. We will come back again!

Coolest rental ever in BBR!

This is an incredible house for a family reunion or big group. Tons of living space, plenty of beds and bathrooms with showers, and such great amenities. We loved the pool table, hot tub, and game tables upstairs. The kids learned to play poker on the super cool poker table, and we enjoyed a couple of the games from the game shelf. The kitchen and outdoor seating on the deck made for a great location to host dinner. Freddie was super responsive to our few requests. Looking forward to our next visit there!

Black Butte Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Black Butte! The location of the house is wonderful, and a great size for our large family. Outdoor space was amazing as well as proximity to Glaze Meadow Rec. The house would benefit from a little more TLC in certain areas. We had babies crawling on the floor so carpets could benefit from deep cleaning. The indoor dining room table was huge, but had a couple chairs in need of repair. We ended up using the outdoor table due to wonderful weather, so that wasn’t really a problem for us. The owner is super responsive which is great. Lots of towels for the pool, and bikes to use around the Ranch. For a large family gathering we would definitely stay there again.

Great Home for Large Group

Truly enjoyed my stay at Smiling River Lodge. Plenty of room to move around, billiards room, large dining room table, and massive outside deck. Freddie (host) was extremely easy to work with and accommodated our early check in request with no hesitation. Would absolutely recommend this home to others looking for a great place to bring a large group together in Black Butte Ranch.

We had a wonderful stay with a group of friends.

This house has room for all. We stayed with several families and had a wonderful time. The kids and adults had a great time playing pool in the living room and it was nice to have a pingpong table and foosball table upstairs for the kids. The host was very helpful and communicated quickly, especially when a friend thought she had left something behind at the house after we left. The garage was well stocked with extra TP and paper towels. There were lots of fun games and the house felt spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay.

Pleasant stay in Black Butte

Great property overall. Pictures can't reflect how much bigger and airy the home feels in person. With 14 people we didn't feel crowded at all. Plenty of space for people to spread out. Kitchen was well stocked. With that many people, glad the home had dual ovens for food prep. Had some cleaning issues after we checked in. (not the owner's fault) But, the owner was very responsive and was on top of taking care of it quickly and making sure we were satisfied. Overall a very nice house and a good experience with this rental. Definitely would rent it again when we need space for that many people.

Incredible Home!

We had 6 adults and 3 kids staying for 1 week over the Thanksgiving Holiday. So many "wow!" factors from the Christmas Tree when you walk in to the many fireplaces inside, window seats everywhere and all the fun things to do. The rec center is an easy, short walk away. Black Butte and all its amenities were great as well. We will definitely be back!

We had a great time and loved this house at BBR. We stayed here with our bridal party during our wedding week and had a great time. The house was cozy and had great amenities— we loved all of the games and hot tub! Fred was so attentive and easy to contact. He was okay with us throwing our rehearsal dinner at the house and it was perfect for an intimate dinner! Thanks Fred, we will hopefully be back!!

Fabulous Home

We loved the house. The bunk room for all of the kids was very cool. They had their own bathroom and big play area attached to a loft with a ping pong table and air hockey. They even had their own refrigerator, though we didn't use it as they might spill. The other bedrooms were spectacular, two with their own attached baths. We had room to entertain and the outdoor was private, the kids enjoying the hammock and hot tub. The kitchen was well equipped and the dining room can seat twelve. The pool table downstairs also provided entertainment while others played cards in a separate nook. The fact that the house was walking distance to the pool was also great. We had an incredible vacation!

Great property for 3 generations family vacation.

Location is excellent for all things Black Butte. Walking, Biking, pool, and activities. Property is very clean and presents as stated in photos & descriptions. The only drawback for our group was that bedroom #3 has twin beds and we had 3 couples. The couple that lost the coin-flip. Still enjoyed their time but would have preferred a queen bed.
