For the price we paid we could have camped out way cheaper. There was a dead mouse somewhere which was unappealing to say the least. There was no hot water. And no electricity during the day. If the management knew ahead of time about the power outages they should have at least offered some sort of discount for the price of the stay. On the plus side the service and food in the main lodge was very good.
We love staying in the national park. Big Meadows is easy to walk to restaurant and tap room. The rooms are comfortable in the lodge.

Delicious plentiful food, all staff friendly
The food was excellent--well prepared, surprisingly large quantities and a good selection of options. Unfortunately, the main dining room was quite cool in the evening which meant that I did not enjoy the meal as much as I could have. I noted that the overhead fans were going full force and there was no fire in the fireplace while the outside temperatures were dropping into the 50's and 40's rapidly. Staff in the dining hall and check in were friendly and efficient--a real plus.
