I had a great stay overall, enjoying the spacious cabin and helpful staff, but I did notice some areas that could use improvement. The indoor pool was perfect for watching the kids, and the boat rental experience was a highlight. However, the restaurant service could be slow, and some furnishings in the cabin felt a bit worn out.

The indoor pool was clean and shallow enough for kids, and the available boat rental was a fantastic addition to my stay. However, the outdoor trash bin was too small for larger groups, and I did find a few areas in the cabin that needed attention.

I had a mixed experience at Big Sandy Lodge and Resort. The villa we rented was spacious for our family gathering and offered beautiful views of the lake, which was a big plus. However, I found the dining service to be a bit lacking, and the restaurant's food didn't quite match the higher prices. Overall, the location and amenities were appealing, but there were definitely some areas for improvement.
