Lekker buiten in mooie tuin, fijne gastvrouw.
Gezellige gastvrouw die zelfs zorgde voor een (met hout) opgestookte hottub.
Je moet “buitenlangs” naar de badkamer (alleen in winter probleempje). Geluid van doorgaande weg is te horen.

Questions about Big Tree House Lodge

What time is check-in and check-out at Big Tree House Lodge?

Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Big Tree House Lodge allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is there parking at Big Tree House Lodge?

Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.

Does Big Tree House Lodge have Wi-Fi?

Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.

Does Big Tree House Lodge have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Big Tree House Lodge?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
