Words are not enough to describe the visual wonders of the Big Cypress hotel Lodge. Standing tall as one of the newest treasures of Memphis, you won’t be able to unwrap a hotel experience like this anywhere in the world (you might have to see it in order to fully believe it!).
Residing on space that was once a concert venue, this property has evolved into a worldwide sensation and has become the pyramid shaped dwelling that every couple that is seeking a mixture of adventure and relaxation want to experience.
You have been warned: as soon as you walk in the door, your smile will shine so bright that you’ll have to immediately photograph the moment (don’t be surprised if your social media followers ask if you’ve won the jackpot!)
The hotel Lodge is home to a town size Bass Pro Shop that is bordered by indoor cabin suites, scattered fished filled rivers and gigantic water tanks. There is a Cypress swamp in the middle sprinkled with retail shops in every direction. What’s so captivating about this place is that you feel like you’re outdoors but you’re actually inside.

The word “bored” will never leave your mouth when you’re surrounded by an aquatic themed bowling alley, archery range, and fishing activities.

Take the elevator to your room and stand in awe as you pass the the nature-themed residence floor. Fully furnished with a fireplace, seating area, and wood-carved fixtures, you’ll have to constantly remind yourself where you are at (or just embrace the moment).

It’s amazing how different places in the lodge cater to the different energy needs of people. You can enjoy the liveliness of the people when you go down to the hotel lodge or tap into the tranquility of your room if you’re looking for the ultimate relaxation experience.

The basic rooms are so well crafted you will feel like you are inside a suite! From the private tree house balcony attached to our fabulous room to the mountain deer head giving us a piece of nature above our bed, we admired the design of the whole layout.

Then we took our relationship to the next level (literally, 300 feet above the ground on a freestanding glass elevator) to eat at the hotel’s premier dining spot, The Lookout.

And our eyes were in for a beautiful surprise. The scenery took our breath away as we overlooked an enchanting view of the Mississippi River and watched the sunset.

The Duck Blind Sunrise cocktail was the perfect drink to add to the serene feeling of being on a beach.

Appetizers included Pan Seared Duck and BBQ Jumbo Shrimp. It was better than I expected! We loved it.

Then Filet Mignon and Salmon for dinner! You could tell the food was prepared with the richest ingredients.
Every tender bite that entered my mouth reminded me of what life could be like when you’re intentional about creating mesmerizing memories with the people who mean the world to you.

As the dark shadows of the night rays approached us, we went to our room, sat on the balcony, and discussed our vision for the future.
The stillness of the scenery and the peacefulness of the moment provided an excellent time for reflection; we felt a sense of understanding and togetherness that we had never felt before. It was wrapped with love and care. It revealed an insatiable desire to experience more of this – to just let go of the worries of the world and create a harmonic synchronicity that allowed us to spread endless love throughout the world. We didn’t know where all of these thoughts and feelings were coming from. But it was evident that your environment can completely reshape the direction of your relationship.
With all of those feelings in the air, we decided to turn up the steam in our hotel room by relaxing in the jetsetter tub. The dim lighting and craftsmanship of the tub allowed us to submit to the beauty of the moment. All we could hear were the pleasant sounds of bubbles forming as we sat in silence for a few minutes. Our mind was completely relaxed, giving us permission to expose our deepest feelings and express our most profound desires. I felt his energy and he felt mine as we bathed in a tub of love.
Who would have known that a change in scenery at two of the best hotels in Memphis would have given us more reasons to appreciate the undisclosed pieces of each other, while unexpectedly painting a view of the future that exceeds anything we’ve ever witnessed in the past.
