All rooms feature coffeemakers, clock radios, daily housekeeping, irons and ironing boards (on request), hairdryers (on request), and exterior access.
We stayed in one of the new buildings at Big Meadows Lodge in late August 2008. The room was very clean and the beds were very nice. The room was expensive and we really didn't have much of a view from the room, but the view from the main lodge and restaurant is wonderful. The food is good but expensive. The black-eyed pea soup is very good. There is wildlife everywhere and we saw deer and bear during our stay. If you have a chance, go on the twilight tour of the meadow (lead by a ranger). The smells and sounds are incredible plus its spooky.
