This house was wonderful for our group of 17 family members. The outdoor area with the tables and fire pit was perfect for our group. We watched football, played corn hole, and darts. It was the perfect setting to get outside and enjoy the weather. I would love to go back in the summer months and sit in the shallow pool out there as well. it was super clean and well stocked. So easy to book and to communicate with the host. We all loved it and will plan to go again soon.!

We had a family reunion, 13 adults, 7 kids under 9yrs old. What a wonderful facility. Plenty of space, the huge pavilion was much better than anticipated. Included bathrooms, a kitchen, a TV and many tables and chairs.The kids loved the wading pool. Adults loved cooking and eating out there in the evening, fans kept the air flowing. Jeff was easy to contact and deal with. Very friendly and accomodating. Parks nearby for hiking. We feel like we lucked out in finding GBL. Price was very reasonable.No hesitation recommending GBL for large groups. Thanks for having us, Jeff.

This was a beautiful property that seemed isolated in the country, but was only about 10 minutes from town. We thoroughly enjoyed our family reunion here and look forward to visiting again!

Our family of 12 stayed here for our annual vacation together and had a wonderful time. We rented the entire lodge, so had way more than enough room. The beds are comfortable and spacious, there were plenty of clean linens, and we had lots of space for visiting and gaming.
The main kitchen was very well stocked with utensils, dishes, and tools (except that we had to steal garbage bags from one of the other kitchens). The pavilion area is wonderful. The kids enjoyed playing in the wading pool and running around outside. There is great hiking at Little River Canyon just 10 minutes away and we found nice restaurants, also very close. All in all, it was a great stay and we plan to return.

This property was exactly what we needed and more.
Beautiful home with every amenity you could think of.

It was such a fabulous weekend.

We were in town for a family funeral and were easily able to house friends and family in this amazing house. Jeff’s hospitality was fantastic! And the outdoor patio area was an amazing location for our family reception and reunion. If anything, the house is undersold on VRBO. This is a no-brainer!

This place was absolutely perfect for our getaway weekend with friends. It looks great online, but trust me it is even better in person! More than enough space for all 15 of us, and the six couples all had their own rooms. Tons of indoor and outdoor entertaining space. The outdoor pavilion is amazing, with a kitchen, bar, fire pit, and bathrooms that were just as clean and comfortable as the ones inside the house. We were AMAZED! The owner, Jeff, is very kind and hospitable. We felt totally comfortable knowing that he would be there if we needed anything and he was happy to see that we were having a great time at his property. You can tell he puts a lot of time and effort into the property and wants it to be enjoyed by whoever comes to stay. Will definitely be planning another trip here in the future!

We brought our staff up for a getaway and was greatly pleased with the accommodations! Plenty of room to spread out but also a great space for being all together. And the outside area is fantastic with plenty of seating & eating areas plus games to play. Great for a large families, gathering of friends, or small staff & spouse retreat. We will be booking again in the future!!

This is by far the best VRBO property I’ve ever stayed at! Most of all, the CLEANEST! That’s the biggest deal to me! You’ll love this cabin, the host was extremely responsive. Thank you so much!

Our large friend group does a weekend at a cabin each year, and this year we decided to try Fort Payne and the Great Buck Lodge. Everything is exactly as described in the listing, and there is plenty of space for large groups. However, if you have small children or elderly people in your party, be advised that the top of the staircase to the main level of the lodge is not protected, and the landing is located in a high-traffic area by a hallway and the fridge in the main kitchen. We had a toddler in our group fall against the removable baby gate and roll all the way down the stairs. He was okay but the experience was traumatic, and we probably won’t be back while we have small children in our group.

I took a group of 7 ladies with me to stay at Great Buck Lodge for our annual “Budget Camp” - to be successful, we needed an abundance of space, strong and reliable wifi and a place to unwind - This fit every single need and more! Jeff was the perfect host, he was, quite literally, only a text away for anything we needed and checked in on us to make sure all of our needs were met. The home itself was incredible! We had plenty of space to work, relax, cook and socialize. The beds were so comfortable I slept better than I have in months, the bathrooms and kitchens both fully stocked and impeccably clean. The outdoor pavilion was truly breathtaking, especially at night! We built a fire the last night as the weather was perfect! I have rented many times before but this was, by FAR, the very best experience! And note - the photos do not do this place justice! It is absolutely gorgeous!! Very highly recommend!

Perfect for my daughter's wedding.

Our group had a great time at the Great Buck Lodge over a long weekend. Honestly the in-person experience was better than the initial pictures presented. We had plenty of space and enjoyed the extras such as the on-site grills, fireplace, etc. Additionally, our group loved having an outdoor kitchen close to the grill for easy dinner prep, etc.
Pleasantly surprised!

Great for large families!
Our family (6 adults, 8 children) for our Christmas week rented this beautiful place. It allowed large enough space for us all to gather while allowing the 3 family units a private area as well. The kids loved the large yard and rode hours on their scooters up and down the drive. We all had a great time!

The pictures they posted online don’t do this place justice. It’s spacious, has an awesome covered patio/bar/grill, and a huge lawn. Our family loved it. We rented the entire unit and had access to 3 living spaces, 3 kitchens, and 3 sets of washers and dryers. This is our 6th year renting a cabin for a long fall weekend and this was our best year yet. Check out process was simple. House was well stocked. Plenty of firewood was provided for the outdoor fire pit. The owner lives next door and came over to check on us. The VRBO listing says check out is at 11 but cabin checkout instructions say 10. Owner let us check out at 12 once we asked. We house is at the end of a long street and had lots of privacy except it shares a driveway with one other home in which the owner’s family resides. If you want complete privacy, this may not be the place for you due to that. Overall loved it.

Gorgeous house, great hosts!
Gorgeous house, great hosts! Jeff was super great and always got back to me immediately whenever I needed anything. My daughter got married over the weekend and the whole bridal party stayed at the house. It was a perfect place for all of us to stay together! There’s an incredible patio where we all ate breakfast together. We couldn’t have asked for anything better! Everyone loved the Great Buck Lodge!

Labor Day Family
Excellent accommodations! Perfect fit for our large family. The pavilion was a favorite place to relax for all of us. We had many of our meals in it and Sunday morning devotion outside was perfect. The grounds were great for the grandkids to ride their bikes. The outdoor porches were a nice quiet place for quiet conversations while rocking in the chairs. Best family experience for all of us!

My family and I enjoyed the space and privacy of 3 separate but joined living areas. Building and yard were clean, open and well appointed. There was a small mix-up on check-out time between cleaning group and listing here. Easily resolved, but I would say more time in the morning on check-out day would be the way to go
