Big Cypress Lodge in Memphis has won my heart and has my vote for one of my all time favorite places to stay!
From the moment we arrived, everyone made us feel incredibly welcome! We arrived very early in the morning prior to our rooms being available. They were able to safely stow our bags, point us in the direction of Wahlburgers for lunch then guided us through the app to call their complimentary shuttle to take us to Beale Street!
I booked two rooms for 5 people, and I specifically requested ones with balconies overlooking the pro shop. We were even lucky to get the rooms next to each other. and they were stunning!! Gorgeous finishes, efficient layout, and a super cozy, warm feel. The beds were so comfortable I didn’t want to leave! The fireplace stayed on most the night and was pure magic. This was definitely the rest and relaxation we were in need of especially after a long morning flying!
One of my favorite features was the bathroom. The luxurious soaking tub even had shadows of branches swirling across the bottom. A nice little nature’s touch that felt so serene same with the tree in the bathroom-I loved it!! The layout was perfect for our girls’ weekend. We got to maintain our privacy without losing the feeling of sharing the space and fun.
I was also so thankful and thrilled by the thoughtful extras. A complimentary snack basket was waiting for us in our room. It was a really nice touch. The free shuttle service was perfect too! The effortless transport made the trip extra enjoyable!
I was in awe of the 3rd floor den and bar seating area between the rooms and elevator. Loved the leather chesterfield sofas, uniquely carved wooden tables, warm lighting, and the rustic lodge charm everywhere. It felt both grand and homey. (I could go on forever about how beautiful those design details are!)
Also worth noting they have complimentary coffee served and board games set up to play too.
Big Cypress is a perfect blend of rustic elegance, comfort, and thoughtful touches. It made for a perfect girls birthday weekend we will never forget!
