“50 plus years of memories”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2010

I have stayed at Big Timber Lodge now for years. Started with my Grandparents, Parents, then Children and now grandchildren. We stayed again last August with a party of 14 family and extended family members. Youngest a few months to oldert 62.
Great place to stay and make lasting memories. Fishing is great and the sunsets are spectatular as well. Hope you get an opportunity to stay at Big Timber Resort.

“Delightful lakefront cabins!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2009

Our family has been coming to Big Timber for years! Our boys are grown now, but we still all come back as a family year after year, none of us would miss it! The knotty pine cabins are comfortable and the atmosphere is relaxed. Not a lot of frills in the cabin (be ready to do your own dishes!) but there is more then enough to do at the lake! Lots of fishing, playing in the lake, a game room as well as horseshoes and shuffleboard, and personally I like putting a puzzle together while watching the sunset and the loons on the lake. Coming all the way from California, you know our family must love it here to return year after year! The lodge is run by Penny and Preston, two of the nicest people you will ever meet! They are quick to solve any problem that might arise, and if you ask Preston real nice, he might even tell you where the fish are biting. Our family usually goes to the lake over Memorial weekend, but the weather is unpredictable and you can go from cold to hot in a day. We came back again this year in July and I have to say the weather was perfect! We even joined the 4th of July lake parade and the fireworks over the lake were fantastic. We love Big Timber Lodge, I bet you will too!

“A place for peace and family,beautiful location.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2009

Big Timber Lodge has left my family with a home away from home. Quiet and private location with access to several lakes. The cabins are clean and spacious with many styles to choose from. My family and I had a wonderful time and will return again. As far as things to do as a family there are many. Big Timber Lodge offers the use of pontoons, paddle boats and kyaks for those whom like to play on the water.The fishing is great with quiet low traffic lakes. The resort itself has many things for chidren, nice sandy beach, outdoor games, and a welcoming sense of seciruity. I would have to say Big Timber has something to offer everyone.

“A great place to spend time with family”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2009

We have been coming to Big Timber for almost 30 years. The beach area is great, and so is the fishing. We enjoy the free coffee and hot chocolate in the lodge every morning. Penny and Preston have been be friendly and helpful. The week we spend at Big Timber has always been the highlight of the summer for our kids, and now also for our grandkids.

“Northwoods Relaxation!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2009

Looking for a way to end our summer in 2008 we stumbled onto Big Timber on the internet for a long Labor Day weekend. We booked the Evergreen cabin with bunkhouse...we have 6 kids ranging from 6 to 20 years old. We had such a good time we booked again for the week of 4th of July 2009. Great fishing, nice swimming beach with all the toys, rustic northwoods lodge and spectacular sunsets!!! Penny and Preston make you feel like family and are always there to help, put you on a fishing hot spot or tell you where the eagles are nesting. Recommend to anyone. We hope to get back again soon!!
