Wonderfully charming place to stay! My partner and I stayed here 04/17-19/2013. The owner Sandy and her staff took excellent care of us while we stayed here. While we stayed here we visited Cumberland Falls,The Yamacra River, Blue Heron Coal Camp and The Natural Arch. We just wanted somewhere to get a way and have a 3 day vacation. We... More

I recently stayed for the third time at this wonderfully quaint and friendly lodge. I will continue to stay here. My next trip will be in June. I so look forward to the nightly sweet treat, the cleanliness, and quiet stays I always have. The owners make me feel so very special each and every time! I love this place.

This is my second trip to this wonderful lodge! It is everything I expected and more. The rooms are spotless and the owner is absolutely the best. I wouldn't stay anywhere else! I sleep the best I have here than ever before. Every evening there is an extremely tasty homemade dessert! Tonight I am going to devour a peach cobbler... More

Being former Stearns residents for years and years, we felt we needed to let people know about this property. We have been staying at this property for over 15 years and were very disappointed our last stay. We were there over the Labor Day weekend. The rooms were non-smoking but the odor in two of the rooms had a really... More

We recently stayed at Big South Fork Motor Lodge. I saw all the terrible reviews and was a little concerned but since we were only staying 2 days decided to give it a shot. We were greeted by the owners who were very nice. They put us in room 3...the honeymoon suite. It was really pink!!!!! but super clean. Kevin... More

My sister and I stayed here--we were born in the 50s, and this was so quaint and just special to us. We stayed near the office in a lower section of the motel where we had a porch bench and roses growing. Decor was reminiscent of earlier times, fresh colors on the beds and walls. Very cordial owners, homemade desert... More

This is a nicely fixed up older motel. The rooms are small, with fridge, microwave and coffee pot. The beds were not as comfortable as I wish they were. The owners are very nice and they give out homemade teats to the guests each evening. This was the quietest motel I have ever stayed in.

The lady at check in was super friendly and helpful in finding places to eat. I loved the nightly sweet treats. Room was basic, but clean. Pool was nice and we were the only ones swimming everytime we went. Big South Fork Railroad was a must see close by. Just beware of the bugs when hiking and take lots of... More
