This home had a Christmas tree to welcome us for the start of our family holiday! There was an amazing bunk room that allowed our young grandkids to play with plenty of room. They also loved the pool table and ping pong table. This house had it all!Communication was so easy it made it all a great experience.

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.

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!

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!
