Big Cedar Lodge

Johnny Morris and Big Cedar have mastered the art of hospitality. The moment we venture down the scenic drive, I can feel myself starting to relax. Just returned from Big Cedar after my 4th annual visit. This trip was a girls’ trip to celebrate my mom’s 80th birthday. We stayed in a 2 bedroom lakeside cottage and enjoyed not having to drive as the shuttle service took care of all transportation and we ate all meals on property which added to the relaxation. After returning from an incredible meal at Osage, we walked into our cottage to see it tidied and beds made, etc. As a mom, I truly appreciate Big Cedar’s ability to pamper in an unpretentious and seemingly magical way. Our cabin was spotless including even the glass shades on the outdoor light fixtures of our cabin along with the ceiling fan on the cabin porch - no dust, no cobwebs. This incredible attention to detail is seen in the service, design, and overall curation of the entire Big Cedar experience (I wish I could bottle up the smell of the registration building). People talk about their “happy place” and for me as a middle aged mom, Big Cedar is it. I have visited the JW Marriott in Marco Island, Jumby Bay in Antigua, and Tryall in Jamaica…and honestly, Big Cedar’s Midwest friendliness and masterful design outshines them. I fall more in love with Big Cedar each time we visit. Can’t wait to return!

It keeps getting better! For the last four years, I have been visiting Big Cedar each spring. This year, I brought my mom and sister to enjoy a girls’ trip and it has been filled with luxurious accommodations and outstanding service. We just returned from an outstanding dinner at Osage (thanks to Big Cedar for the shuttle service so we can relax) after enjoying a day at the spa. Upon returning to our cabin, we found our beds made, towels and toiletries replenished, and the place tidied. My sister commented “it is like there are magical elves” everywhere taking care of things behind the scenes. This truly is a place for relaxation and pampering! I am blown away by how immaculate everything is maintained down to the glass shades on the back porch of the cabin. Johnny Morris and Big Cedar have perfected the art of hospitality, and when people talk about “their happy place” Big Cedar is certainly that for me.

Had a not so great room situation at first but management was very hospitable and fair about it. Grace in particular was super helpful and kind. They are working on updating rooms needing good mattresses and any repairs needs. The nature views at this resort are beautiful!

This area is a SLICE OF HEAVEN! A stunningly beautiful area and it is our FAVORITE resort area located south of Branson, Missouri. The kids LOVED the "The Timber Ridge Ropes Course" and the "Go Carts!" We suggest taking the "Lost Canyon Cave & Nature Trail Tour" on an electric cart of the resort too. The only downside is that it is PRICEY so plan accordingly. Also, don't forget to visit the "Top of the Rock" Museum which includes LOTS of great history!

We usually try to come every year in the winter to enjoy the activities as a family. This year, my wife accidentally booked the wrong sized cabin and we had less space than we intended for our group. I called the front desk and Alex was kind enough to upgrade us to a bigger cabin free of charge giving us even more space than we originally intended. Love this place!

We stayed here for year end road trip with my husband. I knew this resort from my father in law who has been there. The service was excellent, they are very professional and friendly, the room has beautiful views (but try not to book in Valley view) because you can hear the noises from other room. If you travel with kids, this resort is the best place to entertain family. You don’t need to go anywhere to eat because they have several good restaurants.

Perfect stay for us in Falls View Lodge. Check in was smooth with front desk people very professional and helpful. Christmas time at Big Cedar is amazing with all the lights. We took the tram tour and it was great, Housekeeping was there every morning to check on our needs. The price for staying is what it is no surprise. Thanks Big Cedar for another great time during the Christmas season

I booked a 2 night stay for my husband's birthday using the winter sale discount/off season stay (as we would not be able to afford the full price stay during more popular dates). We stayed in Falls Lodge, in a Premier King room from Feb. 25-27th. When I booked there were options to add sweets and blankets and gifts to the room but I didn't really see anything that was worth the cost for us. I rec. a welcome call from the concierge prior to our stay and I asked if I could have a small birthday cake delivered to the room, they said that would be no problem and it would be around $35 and the kitchen staff would send me an email with details/receipt. I received no further communications from the concierge or kitchen staff and when I called to see if I could pay ahead of time since my husband was putting the incedentals on his card and I didn't want to ruin the surprise they said they will be discreet at check in but would not let me pre pay. FYI about the incedentals for anyone planning to book, it was a $200/night hold ($400 total) which was more than our room cost, so plan accordingly if you need to use a different card than you booked with as it won't fall off for a few days. (We're not rich, so this trip was a splurge.)||Moving on to check in day...I received a call in the morning offering early check in for a fee, we passed as we were going to explore the property first. As we drove in we were greeted by some very friendly deer. We did arrive a few hours early though and went to the front desk just to get some information and they let us check in early without a fee. Once we drove up to the lodge we unpacked the car and headed to our room - 393, the second I opened the door there was a plumber laying on the floor of our room fixing a leak in the jacuzzi. We were both surprised. He told us our room was supposed to be decommissioned and the front desk was aware. So he called the desk and sent us back to check in, meaning we had to repack the car and drive down the hill, they apologized and assured us our room would be ready by 4 and gave us a $25 game voucher for fun mountain. My husband was not happy about this because after driving several hours he wanted to rest in the room but we headed to fun mountin anyway, played bingo for free (we were the youngest couple there) and then ate at fun mountain. The food and service was top notch. We were told we'd get a call from the front desk when our room was ready and never did so I called the desk and they said we could head to our room, (another fail in communication) but the room was cleaned up and ready this time. The cake I ordered was sitting on the desk in the room and looked great, they also added a tiny cake that said best wishes and we had 2 free waters in the fridge and a basket with free cookies, popcorn and gummy worms. ||The rest of our time we explored the resort, we played mini golf, ate at Devil's Pool/Buzzard Bar twice, listened to great live music, ate breakfast at Truman twice, visited the Marina, and visited with family members in the timeshare condos nearby. We weren't able to use the game voucher as fun mountain was closed when we had free time and it wouldn't have gotten us far anyway, most game cards cost $100 and a game of bowling was over $60. I did book one excursion though and had our photos taken by the resort photographer, its a $75 sitting fee and no obligation to buy, I did however purchase the digital package after which was $315 including taxes and we rec. over 60 beautiful images just days later. We had Tim's partner Shann photograph us and he was very kind and drove us around the property to the best spots for morning light photos. ||All in all, our experience was wonderful and we needed the time away so bad. The food was amazing, the waiters were kind and quick to refill our drinks. The ammenities you get with your stay, such as the free shuttle that runs from 6am-midnight we used many times to get around, as big cedar is a very large property. The views were amazing even in off season/early spring. We will definitely be back. We enjoyed it not being as busy and can tell in summer with all the pools open it would have been a very active place. Our lodge room was perfect for us with the jacuzzi and balcony and comfy bed. There was a lot of taxidermy though so if it bothers you to have bucky staring at you while you sleep...yah. They provide sleeping masks though which you will want in falls lodge as the top windows aren't covered. The water temp. was a bit cold as well when the nextdoor room was showering at the same time... The best part of the stay was feeling as if we were part of a big family at dinner, we met some lovely senior couples who joked with us and made us feel like we belonged eventhough we were in our 30s. Attire was casual which was nice as well. This is the kind of place where families come for generations.||I would say the only negative experience we had was communication with the front desk/concierge, when I rec. my bill at checkout we were charged $55 for the cake and it was listed as in room dining with no breakdown as to why it was more than the $35 I was quoted. They also charged it to my husband's card instead of mine like I asked, which is a little embarassing when it was supposed to be a gift from me. The front desk staff seemed young and might be new but I feel with it being slow during off season, communication should have been much better than it was and a food voucher would have been preferred as to a game voucher we couldn't really use.||As for those wondering about affordability if you are like us as well. The food was very fairly priced with large portions, we actually paid more for a meal on The Branson Landing than at the resort. The only things that cost more I would say are the extras such as the SPA. We thought about doing a couple's massage until we found out it would be about $600 for an hour. You can also get married there for a hefty price tag. Not bashing costs at all, it is a resort and a very well done resort at that, I do think there is something for every budget on site, just be sure to read the fine print. If you need family/couples photos taken, its definitely worth it to have those done on site as well.

Attended Fishing dreams event for Veterans. The Bent Hook Marina is great. Excellent staff and the shop has anything you might need on or off the water. The food made by the staff was excellent. Especially the butter milk fried chicken. Very juicy and flavorful. The Veteran's day ceremony was great. The speaker did a wonderful job. The Veterans were treated so well. Thank you

Pros: we stayed at Camp Long Creek glamping tent. I loved it! Everything was so cute and so well thought out. There were automatic lights that would come on at night if I needed to go to the bathroom. There is a fence built around the tent for safety and security. The tent felt really sturdy. It definitely can withstand rainy weather. The view was amazing. The customer service was good. Very consistent communication. The grounds were well-maintained. And Cons: that being said, I don't think I would do it again. It was a tent. There was a spider on our pillow. The tent had to be sprayed for wasps. I heard weird noises all night long. The tent is built on top of a treehouse platform. Very creaky. One and done.

A Rustic Retreat with Charm and Character Big Cedar Lodge offers a stunning blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The attention to detail in the decor is awe-inspiring, with live edge furniture, leather chairs, and an overall aesthetic that perfectly captures the essence of an upscale outdoor retreat. Exceptional Service The staff's kindness and attentiveness were notable highlights of our stay. The service was excellent with only a few minor exceptions, contributing significantly to the overall positive experience. Accommodations: While the cottages we explored were undeniably beautiful, it's worth noting that some may need to be situated exactly as the website suggests. Prospective guests should inquire about specific locations to ensure their expectations are met. Activities and Atmosphere: The lodge offers a wealth of activities set against a lovely backdrop. The hilly terrain provides both scenic views and a bit of a workout for those exploring on foot. It's an ideal setting for a relaxing weekend getaway. A Word of Caution: For those who identify as non-campers, be aware that the "glamping" tents, while luxurious, may not be the best fit. At $300 a night, these accommodations might only align with some people's preferences or comfort levels. We had ask for a view of the lake and got a view of the trees from our cute little porch. They also add on another $100 a night for "resort fees" that was not mentioned at the time of booking. In conclusion, Big Cedar Lodge delivers a memorable experience combining natural beauty and upscale amenities. While there are a few areas for improvement, the overall stay was enjoyable and offered a pleasant escape into nature without sacrificing comfort.

Big Cedar Lodge is one of the nicest places we've ever stayed. The theme of the resort is carried down to the smallest details including trash cans and parking blocks that look like logs. Every employee we encountered was friendly and helpful. The food was amazing everywhere we ate. The accommodations were beautiful and clean and comfortable. This place is absolutely perfect and we cannot wait to go back. Thank you for the perfect winter getaway

We stayed at Camp Long Creek for my birthday weekend in one of the glamping tents. Overall, I give our stay five stars. The tent was clean and well kept, I do wish there had been a slightly bigger table inside to set things on. The courtyard was lovely, however there was dead plants in the little planter by the door. Our tent did have a tear in the mesh door near the bottom of the zipper, which could have let in squirrels if we had left the main canvas door open. And the door to our courtyard was a little difficult to open. The food was very good, and we loved all the activities we did. Front desk staff and shuttle staff were all great. Waitstaff and other service staff (shops) could have used a bit of extra attention to customers. Will definitely return to visit in the future.

My family and I have gone to Big Cedar 4 times in the past 10 years. We always get a private cabin as we love the experience. It has been fun to see Big Cedar grow and add new activities for families on-site. There are many fun activities to do around the site as well. Be sure to check out the museum and golf cart adventure through the cave. Both are definitely worth your time.

Awesome place, best museum I've ever visited. Really nice golf course if you don't mind spending the money.

We had a cabin for a week and loved every minute of our time at the resort and surrounding areas. Top Of the Rock and Dogwood Cannon are must sees. We enjoyed horseback riding, boating the lake, going to the pools, playing golf, the wonderful museum, and exploring. Beautiful great vacation destination for all ages.

Am only reviewing the restaurant. We were there because of a BlueGreen presentation. When finished wanted place to eat without driving. We ate at the Buzzard Bar. There was at least one other option, but the menu wasn't what we wanted. The ambiance was great. Very rustic and all wood everything. We ate in the restaurant area in what I believe is the basement. Be aware the room is not very large so could easily be crowded, although we were there before the evening dinner crowd. We both ordered the French Dip and we both liked it. The menu is limited. It didn't bother us as we had several options. The meal for a sandwich is pricy, $18. It was very good though. This place and the ground around it might be difficult or impossible for a handicapped individual as the parking area is on the side of a hill and the overflow is through a stand of trees. I loved the setting but was aware of how hard it was for some to get around. We were there just before the evening dinner rush, which started early. We arrived between 4-5pm. The casual tourist will never be here as it is well off the road. The resort is large. We both wondered how easy it would be if one stayed there because it didn't seem there were many options for meals.

Hell yes!!! No other place like it!!! This place is my heart!!! Gotta go every 3-4 months or my heart hurts!!!

Wow! Really want to stay here! We were on a weekend getaway and stopped to tour this Resort! We were blown away at how incredible this place is. It's huge and so well done! Restaurants, shops, anything you can think of. It's the kind of place you go on vacation and just stay there! Only drawback is it's $$$$. So someday!

We had a great time hosting my Uncle's surprise 60th birthday here in July!! Our coordinator was Rachel and she was amazing from beginning to end. Rachel, thank you for everything. This venue was everything and was perfect for this birthday celebration. Our server who assisted with the entire party was fantastic. She didn't miss a beat. We had great service the entire time. This will be a memory we will never forget. The scenery outside was absolutely beautiful and we were able to capture so many photos. Thank you again for allowing us to celebrate in such an amazing venue with great service.

This isn't your normal hotel, this isn't your normal resort. Big Cedar Lodge is by far the best resort in the Branson area. It has so much to offer, you could easily stay on property (4,600 acres to explore) and enjoy every minute. It for sure is 'Rustic Luxury' tucked away in 'Rustic beauty', about 15 minutes south of Branson and on Table Rock Lake this resort (and I've stayed at many Disney, Singapore, Indonesia, Aspen, Aruba) is my favorite. I love the remoteness of it the quietness of it and all the thought and amenities put into BCL are second to none and I don't think can be beaten. Stunning views coupled with stunning architecture and unbeatable amenities make BCL a destination you should not pass up on. Many amenities are free - pedal-boats, kayaking and canoeing, fishing excursion, miniature golf, 5 pools and a lazy river, lakeside beach, fitness gym, movie night with s'mores and popcorn. All top quality and maintained with excellence, because remember it's 'rustic luxury'. I'm sure I've forgotten some of the free amenities, but it's awesome. And a free shuttle on property. But then for a fee you can do so many other things, check out the activities and events going onsite as thru change depending on the season. You've got bowline, go cart, ropes course, archery tag, shooting academy, the scavenger hunt (which we won), brews and bingo, kids bingo, billiards, spa, motor boats, a dinner cruise, the spin zone and arcade. Many of these things are at Fun Mountain and our kids and us loved Fun Mountain. I've forgotten to mention all the maxing golf courses, incredible and breathtaking. Then you've got all the places to eat, from Truman's cafe for coffee, breakfast and lunch to first class dining and the Worman House, to fun bars at the buzzard bar, plus many more restaurants onsite and the sister property at 'Top of the Rock' like Osage (stunning views) and the buffalo bar or wine cellar. This is a property that can't be beat. I know I'm missing things, but this is a place that you'll want to check out at different times of year, just because of the different seasons and the incredible property that BCL calls home.

This such a great place to stay. Beautiful views and the rooms are always SO NICE. It is perfectly located close to Branson and all of it attractions.

Over crowded in summer, food is made at 1 of the restaurants & warmed up at all the rest. VERY Over priced! With most of their guests being rich & entitled. Upside-Front desk staff is pleasant & helpful & most of the service staff is friendly.

We really enjoyed this resort . We did make the mistake of getting a regular cabin . It was sooooo tiny and the bathroom was old and tired . We would like to come back , but will not stay in one of those cabins . The restaurants were nice and we even bowled . We never had to use our car because a shuttle would come get us and us anywhere in the resort that we wanted to go to .

Our family booked this little getaway with our 2 boys because we thought it would be an excellent escape and we could even visit Silver Dollar City we call that a win win! We are from Oklahoma City so it is about 5 hours. We have a 1.5 year old and 6 year old boys. The morning we were supposed to check in I got a text and email that said thank you for staying with us, etc. as if we had already stayed. I called the front desk that morning frantic thinking I made the wrong reservation no.. that was sent in error. I told them we were in town and they said she would make note on our reservation and should be able to check in early. I thought that was great and nice so we show up 2 hours ( 1pm)before checkin to find the room isn't ready. Which is fine no big deal. We decide to go to fun mountain to visit the arcade and kill a few hours we have lunch at uncle bucks and it was pretty decent bar style food. The kids meals were massive! We go back down at 3 to check in and we get a text that the water is out. We ask multiple people at the front desk if that will come back because since we have kids we are not up for being somewhere without water. Our younger son is a cleft lip and palate child and only drinks out of certain cups we always have to wash and sterilize at night. They assured us it would be on by 4 this was at 3. We said sure what is 1 hour. They then proceeded to say how they look forward to seeing us in a few weeks over thanksgiving. I'm sorry what? I didn't make a reservation over thanksgiving! The gentleman gives us a s'mores kit and really talks it up to our 6 year old so of course we have to do that in the evening with him super cute gesture they do! We walk up to our room it was cozy and sit down our luggage and the people below us hit the ceiling .... We thought oh my this is going to be a long night. We go play outside at their little playground and then walk over to reception desk to see where they recommend for dinner. They tell us since we have kids we really need to stay at lookout mountain and that's it. We felt trapped if we would've known this i could've taken my kids to our local arcade. Very frustrating - we didn't expect to take them to some of the nicer steakhouses but at least another option. So back to lookout mountain where the arcade was and eating at the same spot we had lunch because we were told that was the only option... thank goodness we had the s'mores as something to do ! So we walk with the stroller down these big hills going everywhere can't find it... back to reception we go only to find out s'mores aren't even offered on a Sunday night what a joke. Why give us the kit and tell us directions to it then. Back up to our hotel room we went and as i shut the door a pair of dirty socks from the guests before us were behind the door beside the chair. That was the final straw it was 7:30 at this time we were tired frustrated and miserable. We hadn't even unpacked and decided to go back to reception for the 100th time it seemed and told them we were checking out. We did get our $ back because oh yeah still NO water. Our dog had just died a few weeks before our little family was really needing an escape and something happy. We got home that night around 12:30 and were just so exhausted. When we were waiting we even bought big cedar shirts which i can't for the life of me wear because I'm reminded of the nightmare of this day! This definitely got us out of the house but i wanted more than anything just to be back home. I've Heard so many good things about this place but it was nothing but disappointing. This was in November of 2022. It's taken me some time to write this because so much happened.

Man, was I disappointed. Maybe my expectation of a resort is different, so that might be on me. When we booked a room for five of us, we decided to go with a "standard" hotel room - two queen beds with a roll away. At $300, I thought this included a little bit of everything - but it didn't. Sure you could canoe (more on that later), paddle boat, swim, and walk the grounds, but you could do little to nothing else without first ponying up some cash. The room was antiquated. The bathroom was so incredibly small and - surprise! - it had a window to the sleeping area. The humidity was high, so even at 66 degrees the room was hot and sticky. The roll away was brought in much later, and they only had two of us listed originally instead of five. We initially were going for two nights but could only get one. Thank God! They said, "Oh, we can get you in one of our cabins for $1,100 a night." Um, no. We ventured to Fun Mountain where everything cost money. Go carts? $10. Rope course? $25. Pool table? $10. Bowling? $50 per hr. We elected to do the go carts for $10 apiece ($40 total). We road twice and both times one of the carts broke down again and again. Every time this happened, they'd stop everyone for safety purposes. It just seemed like we didn't get the experience that we had hoped for. Everyone said to go canoe as it closed at 9PM. Because of the go carts stopping, we didn't get there until 8:20PM. That should've been enough time - except that they actually closed at 8PM! So literally just wasting our time. We ventured to the free movie night. Tom & Jerry. Yay. Everything cost - s'mores were $5. Ha ha. So ultimately we ventured back up to our hotel room where we couldn't sleep well due to the AC not keeping up with the humidity. The stomping of kids above us all night and early the next morning didn't help. Hot and sticky and no sleep. Room Service knocked on our door at 9:10AM even though checkout was at 11AM. We were going to do the Top of the Rock tour, but at $37 per person that was a hard no. If we had just gone here and no where else in Branson, I might've enjoyed it more. But thankfully we didn't. The area is incredibly nice and sprawling - thousands of acres. It has this pretty cool "Dirty Dancing" vibe to it that would've been awesome back in the day. But by today's standards - and they're pricing - this should have been more enjoyable.

I was so excited to stay at this lodge. When we arrived at the check in, we were not welcomed in the way we expected. It was kind of nonchalant. The registration building is very beautiful with lots of gorgeous flowers and country decor. We got our keys and headed to our lodge. The lodges are pretty scattered and there are some windy roadways to get to them. Parking was not so easy. There were limited spots so we ended up having to lug our luggage a bit of a distance. There were not carts which made it a little difficult. It was a really hot day, which was worse. No offer of help was given. We got to our lodge and inside, it had a very big lobby with animal heads all over it. It lacked any real coziness like other lodges I've been to. Our room was pretty good size with huge vaulted ceilings. It has a pretty comfortable bed and pillows and a nice porch with rocking chairs on it. There was a fireplace in it, as well. The room had only one sink which was made it kind of hard for two of us to get dressed at the same time. The shower was very small and the water pressure was horrible. It took me about 10 minutes to wash my hair because I couldn't get the soap and conditioner out. We did go to Devil's pool one day. It was over 100 degrees while we were there, and there were NO umbrellas for any of the lounge chairs. The only umbrellas were at tables. We stopped by the upstairs restaurant at Devil's Pool one night. The bartender was nice and was willing to try to make some drinks we asked for. We ordered an appetizer and two dinners. Our dinners came out super quickly and THEN the appetizer. Hmmm? We ate at Osage restaurant one night and it was pretty good. My husband had the steak and it was cooked perfectly. I had the Sea Bass and it was kind of almost spongy. It lacked any real flavor. They did have a nice sunset ceremony where bagpipers play and a cannon is shot off. The downstairs bartender was really nice. We decided to use the free shuttle service the resort provides to get to Top of the Rock for dinner. Little did we know that we'd have to make a couple of transfers to get there. If you plan to use the shuttle, plan accordingly. I may take a while. We ended up being about 15 minutes late for our reservation due to the shuttles and when we arrived at the restaurant, we had to wait about 30 extra minutes. We played three of the golf courses connected with the resort-Top of the Rock, Ozark National, and Payne's Valley. All of them were spectacular! I utilized the gym a couple of times while visiting. It is a very nice gym packed with a variety of equipment. I did suggest putting in a couple of Pelotons. When driving at night in this resort, please do so with EXTREME caution! There are no lights anywhere. It was very difficult to see people walking or animals in the roadways. Not sure why they don't put some lights on the sides of the roads to help with this. The stay overall was ok. It was quite expensive and we thought it would've been much better. We weren't aware that this place is owned and operated by Bass Pro Shops. With as much as it cost, I expected more.

The whole portion of our stay was trampled by the way we got treated during the dining experience. I get we aren't in upscale NYC, Short Hills NJ, Highland Park.... Los Altos Hills, etc etc we are in the "midwest". MISSOURI... needless to say we wanted to sit in a nice area of the dining to take it all in, for our vacation and visit with Mr. Neal McCoy -yes the country singer. So we asked for a seat at the top section, when the snooty host told my husband and I that "there are no seats, and there are seats open on the main floor, they serve fries on their menu." We felt judged upon our step into the establishment and felt terribly awful to stay at the resort for the one egregious treatment. As if the host wanted us to hear it, we had to. The rest of the guests looked at my husband and I like as if we didn't belong there. We are from Oklahoma, and we know how to dress. We know how to tip. This is marked as a "no-go" for the lifetime of our ventures outward into future stays of this area. Buzzard Bar isn't where it's at. Be careful for what you ask for and use your review/place of stay wisely. The hospitality and a disgruntled seating host don't mix well here.

We have loved our stay at this gorgeous resort! The staff is so friendly everywhere you go on property, the grounds are beautifully kept, and there is so much to do and see around Big Cedar Lodge! We love all the fall decor around the resort, and the kids have had fun with some of the activities as well. (One kid loved the haunted maze, and the other said it was too scary.) My kids favorite thing was room service . I have to admit, the room service was top-notch. The food always arrived hot and delicious, and Waylon was so friendly and thought of everything we might need. It is pricey as far as resorts go, but there is a lot to see and do. We didn't get to go swimming because it was a little chilly out, (the pools are heated, but it was more about getting OUT of the water that kept us away) but we will do that next time. We went to the top of the rock, and went to the museum there. The museum was HUGE, and took a few hours to walk through. (It looked like it was small, but it just kept going and going. There was so much in there!) We wanted to do the golf cart tour, but we arrived in the afternoon, and there was a very long wait, so we skipped it this time. The sights and drive around the property were gorgeous, though. There were SO many flowers, too! We did move to a different room after the first few nights since my husband snores, and the room we were in originally had two queen beds in the same space, and my kids didn't appreciate being woken up at night. The front desk moved us to a different room that had beds in different rooms, and they were very sweet and accommodating. I will say, this second room needs some serious updating, but we just know for next visit to try to stay in a cabin or maybe get two rooms in the falls lodge. We loved the large bathtub and two patios in our double queen room in the falls lodge. This second room by Devil's pool has a tiny shower, no bathtub, and zero privacy on the balcony. We could hear our neighbors on their balcony, they were so close, and anytime someone would walk by our room we could hear them as well. These are minor inconveniences, and not enough for us to not give it a 5 star review. We just know not to book this part of the resort for our next visit.

This place is extremely expensive. Beware when you book and cancel even with a month's notice they will take a $100 fee out of your booking for themselves. These folks are money hungry and greedy. I know they aren't fully booked on a Sunday night in mid January. I won't be back and I'll tell everyone I know of this policy. I don't want to support misleading businesses, and word of mouth counts for something even though you act like you couldn't care less on the phone today. THEY OBVIOUSLY DON'T CARE ABOUT STEALING YOUR HARD ERANED MONEY. They won't tell you this upfront.

This place is really adorable. The decor is so mountain chic, the location is convenient. I was in the area and stayed in a tent last night but with the rain and cool temperatures it was kind of miserable, so I splurged and went for a cabin this evening. I searched for cabins in the area on Airbnb while I was at lunch at Devil's Cove / Buzzards Bar, and decided to see what was available in the Big Cedar Lodge development. I was happy to see that they had cabins available that allowed dogs, and from the pictures online it looked pretty cute. I booked a room and received an email pretty shortly after, the room was available for check-in in an hour. Camp Long Creek was about 15 minutes from where I was and was pretty smooth getting there. There was a check-in reception building at the entrance of the Camp Long Creek development that had a nice large vibe. I was pretty amazed that all of the fees stocked up to be so extraordinate for a one-night stay. Not only was it the nightly rate of $289, they also tucked on almost $100 for resort fees, taxes, and an additional $75 for my dog! Had I known that, I probably would have gone with some of the other cabins in the area. Had it not been raining, I probably would have taken advantage of the things available on the resort, Putt-Putt, drive through Christmas light display, etc. The cabins were laid out around the lake and Marina, it is about 15 minutes from the main Big Cedar Lodge. The one I stayed in had a screened-in porch, electronic fireplace, kitchenette, dining table, bathroom, bedroom with king size bed. I really liked the decor of the space. The walls had White shiplap, dark wood beams for the ceiling, a rustic vintage lodge feel. Everything was clean and cozy. This really is a good example of how a small footprint can have a large expansive feel. Everything you need is provided, dishes, crisp linens, fresh towels. It rained today so it was nice to sit on the covered patio and listen to it rained before it got dark. The windows all have a hand crank, it was nice to have the windows open before the rain got too heavy. It was a beautiful experience, I really do wish they had laid out all of the fees beforehand though.

I've always wanted to stay here. Wanted to fish on Table Rock lake, and enjoy the Ozarks in a 1st class way. We stayed in the Jack cabin at Top of the Rock. Wow, just wow! You're isolated from everyone. And everything. If you want to be near the hustle & bustle of the resort, do t stay here. But if you want a cabin built in the 1800's and relocated here that gives you the sense of rustic living in the Ozarks, this is the place for you. It's not cheap. But if you can justify it, do it! Pros: Cabin is spacious, two king beds. One downstairs and one up. Main shower is to die for! Bath tub in main is adorable and huge Isolated from the crowds Private golf carts Views for days Rustic cabin feel with AC Guided fishing trip from Bent Hook marina. We caught about 20 fish. My son had an amazing time! Cons: You'll have some bugs. But you get that when you're in the woods! I was warm, wife was cold. But what's new Internet sucks. But, maybe it should so the kids are forced to enjoy nature? Golfers will see you! Be careful what you do and what you're wearing, peepers all around during the day haha! But seriously, every morning we found golfers looking to see if anyone was in here Front door doesn't lock. Old door and doesn't lock/shut properly. Sketch so bring a "friend" Food options. I'll admit, I'm a foodie and this place does NOT have good food. Osage was gross and over priced. They need a restaurant consultant to help specially because the closest place to get different food is Branson. Overall I LOVED our stay and the property and most of the staff.

Be prepared to drive EVERYWHERE on property. Coffee? Know that you'll need to drive to get decent morning cups. The rooms have horrible coffee machines that literally make 1 mini styrofoam cup at a time. You'll need to drive to Truman cafe and it's a stand in line situation; then hope you can find an available table to sit! Everyone scrambles to hold a table. Then they approached letting us know out of biscuits, after standing in line, ordering, & paying. For $600 per night..no coffee, outdated decor, rickety doors to "shared balconies". This place comes across as everything available on property, know you WILL NOT walk down a hallway or stairs for dining; you'll be driving or calling for a shuttle. Make reservations for any dining, and once you get to restaurant don't count on the hostess being nice or welcoming (Osage restaurant). Golfing at Top of Rock wasn't all cracked up to be either, scenic par 3, but you'll be rushed & they are not very friendly. The other courses Buffalo & Paynes were absolutely great and they are off property. You would be better off renting a house & golfing at those courses avoiding the Big Cedar nightmare. EVERYTHING AT BIG CEDAR LODGE PROPERTY WAS A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT!

We decided to come here instead of going to Colorado. Rooms were a bit cheaper because it was winter. There were 4 restaurants open, and one pool. We stayed at the Falls Lodge; apparently during the normal season these rooms are over $600 a night!!! While the view was nice, and the beds okay. I don't feel in any way the price is justified. Especially when you discover all the amenities that you think are included can also be enjoyed by "non guests!" That's right you may have an hour wait for dinner because Billy from Hollister wants to take out his family and 6 friends to Big Cedar! That alone is enough to make me never want to pay these prices. You pay for an inclusive experience you expect someone who didn't shouldn't enjoy them too. We went on a Thursday and it was pretty dead, and we were able to enjoy the area with other guests, but by Friday everything was packed!!!

Okay, I didn't find options to review dining spots individually so I'm combining the experience at Big Cedar Lodge. It's basically like a small town of its own with restaurants inside of the complex. Which, we didn't realize was the situation at reservation but I digress... So, first arrival, you're gonna take about 3mi of winding road to get to the registration center; not a joke, that's what the sign says and if not for the sign we would've thought we were driving somewhere definitely haunted. We arrived at night (snowstorm in our starting state) and the area is not well lit. Good for not causing city glow, not great for driving. Registration, they give you a card to fill out that seems like you could do all that previously when you book, but they want you to get their app-- which I gave up and eventually did but that was after checking in. Also, that check in card is just worded oddly, like just put "sign here" where you want a signature, it is not the Declaration of Independence. They didn't write the lodge name on the packet and in thinking it would be, we didn't ask after the fast spoken directions, lol. Yet, we made it first try. I should say the packet comes with a couple coupons and a list of things to do there-- which we did not have time to do before moving on, but it looked interesting. The stairs leading up from the parking lot, made of stone, ARE NOT EQUAL HEIGHT! I share my embarrassment for the sake of any elderly people who might stay-- I crashed and burned on those stairs. It really hurt my shins and my pride. There are no caution signs either. Get to the room, and the pictures on the site where we booked are deceptive... it's the same room but like real estate pictures of the room, lol. That's the point I guess. But, it was okay. Nice little gift basket, lodge decor. There was a big window from the room to the bathroom , though, that... why? Lol. Like, in what world is that necessary? Went with a friend mind you, not my partner, double queen room. Anyway, we arrived pretty late, we had hoped the Top of the Rock/Osage place would be open but everything basically closes at 8pm there. Only option was Buzzard Bar for dinner. If I had another option within the complex, I would've gone anywhere to get away from how loud the live music was. I am hard of hearing too, if that fills you in. It was just so loud; my friend also was very bothered by it. I do not envy the servers who had to just deal with it without a choice, cause we thought about getting everything to go and the server we talked with agreed about how loud it was. Thankfully the cowboy took a break from his guitar while were deciding and we ate just in time. Like, that's got to be some kind of comp for hearing loss for those staff. I'm saying it here, if any of you need it. But... the salmon and risotto I got, salmon was great-- juicy not dry, risotto was plain tasting. Server was just, an absolute sweetheart of a man. Morning, we gotta book it... so we go to the Truman café for breakfast (why am I writing like a 1930s detective in a talkie?). Great quiche, just so savory and good. Decent latte. Wonderful view. Right after, we went to the shoppe that's over there and got some souvenirs and gifts for the friend we were on our way to; it's a really nice shoppe. The nature tower is... it's kinda neat, but it's missing some displays and it looks like someone busted the butterfly case. All in all, I would honestly go back and I want to in order to try the other things that are available there, it is a unique and interesting place, so this is just... like some of these are the worst things about my experience and none of it is that bad (maybe except for the eardrum shattering music... and the death stairs, lol). But, hopefully this helps someone know a bit more about what they're getting into than we did, haha.

This resort, location, accommodations are first rate! I'm a repeat guest and will definitely return. This visit we stayed in room 611 - a cabin on property near Bent Hook Marina. We had no hot water - cold showers are the worst! Half the lights didn't work so we used our smart phone flashlights in those areas. We called the front desk a couple of times due to the room phones being very staticky (?). Once the front desk understood, they sent over maintenance. He arrived and promptly fixed the pilot on the hot water heater and the fuse for the lights. He was very friendly and apologetic. I can't help but wonder if there isn't a checklist in advance of guests arrival to ensure things are working properly so paying guests don't have to be inconvenienced during their stay.

This was our second time to visit big Cedar. We stayed in the cabins again. The views are amazing. The room is fantastic. If I had somebody's ear, the only things I would say is replace the beds because they're hard as rocks. Please put some washers and dryers in the cabinets and it would be perfect. Other than that we had a fantastic time and hope you enjoy more visits.

First time visiting Big Cedar Lodge. Wow. One word to describe it all? BEAUTIFUL. From the drive in, the resort grounds, the rooms, the views, all of it is stunning. We stayed 6 days, 5 nights in the Falls Lodge. It's beautifully decorated in rustic decor, we even had a Christmas tree in our room. All of it beautiful. Everyone was extremely helpful. House keeping done a fantastic each day. My only complaint would be an occasional slow WIFI but I've been told that's being addressed and hopefully updated soon. There's plenty to do on the resort. Fun Mountain is a kids paradise. Since we were there during the holidays, we were able to ice skate & do the Christmas Light tractor tour. This place is truly spectacular. It's extremely family friendly for visitors with kids but I could 100% make this a romantic trip with the wife. We'll back again soon, we had a great family vacation.

Overpriced, poor service. They have become greedy and neglected the quality of their services. I would highly suggest going somewhere else. Everything here is overpriced.

Using the wilderness club at big cedar for 18 years. Always a great experience Clean and well managed with friendly services. Big Cedar is a beautifully landscaped location with it's on boat dock for renting party barges located on table rock lake. Units are always upgraded when needed.

Not sure if the building is just so old and outdated, but if you don't want to hear every foot step of the person above you, ask for upper level. I was on first floor and could literally hear every moving the people above me were making...at some points, it sounded like they were moving furniture. So for $300 a night, I got 0 sleep. I won't return knowing I could run into this again.

Ugh. Wanted to love this place. Pictures online were amazing and the drive into the property was so promising. Then, we arrived to our room. Moldy shower, bed frame falling apart, electric sockets coming out of the wall, filthy vents, old carpet. Talked to front desk and they offered us a smaller room or a cabin 20 minutes away (off property) for the first night and then switch to a new room the second night. What?? Pools were filthy. Granted, a storm did roll through earlier in the day but no sign of anyone cleaning the pools that we could tell. Over $600 per night for this?? Asked the front desk for a manager...none available they told me. They would have one reach out. Nothing. I also replied to one of their text messages later in the day, asking for a manager call. Nothing. We checked out early and I got a "How was your stay?" message from the hotel. So, I let them know I still needed to talk to a manager. Nothing. We cannot recommend this resort to family and friends due to the room conditions.

This is a huge property with many lodges on site. I stayed in Valley View on the odd numbered side of the building, looking out on the valley. I was completely exhausted from a very long day of travel and just wanted to go to sleep, but no, they were having a DJ Dance Party, with music blasting and base pounding. So terrible. I was told 'it is only held on Thursday, Friday, Saturday...' every night I'm there. They also said that they'd gotten several complaints about the sound level so would let those in charge know so that the next night it wouldn't be so bad. I asked to change rooms but was told that they were sold out. The next night it was still terrible. You can also hear everything going on above you and next door to you (connecting room - even though I didn't know the folks). I was kept up until about 1AM each night and woken up at 7AM the next morning. This was pure hell. I specifically asked for as quiet a room as possible when I made the reservation. Friends who stayed on the even number side of the building complained of hearing the beeping of the shuttles late at night or early in the morning. The rooms are spacious, but old, and dirty. I found crusted hair on the bathroom floors, holes in the shades, and something nasty lodged into the cables by the bedside table (see pics). When I returned to my room at midnight, my door was cracked open a few inches! I felt very unsafe and wasn't sure if someone had broken in or if something had been stolen. It is possible that housekeeping had returned to my room to leave a product they had not restocked on their earlier visit, but I did not ask for this, just noticed that I now had this product. Food catered for the events that I attended was decent. Restaurant food was average, at best. I cannot recommend staying here, and couldn't wait to leave. What a disappointing and unrelaxing trip. I left more tired than I was when I arrived. Not a good way to spend a hard earned vacation.

The stay was great. But DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY on this the "ice skating rink". It was an absolute joke! It's some hard plastic boards that the crappy skates do not catch any traction on. I wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy

Big Cedar Lodge is an amazing to place to get away from the busyness of our everyday lives and enjoy the nature around us. It is beautiful here any time of year. Right now, the Christmas lights are up, and everything is so festive. Activities abound- lake activities, mini golf, swimming/hot tubs, family bonfires, and much more. There is something for everyone, but sometimes, the scenery is enough for me. Situated on the beautiful Table Rock Lake and surrounded by trees and mountains, the view is all I need. The service and facilities are top notch. Although many activities are pricey, there are some complimentary things as well. Movies, games, bonfires, and some scavenger hunts, etc are all free. And the cookies delivered daily to your room are a nice touch. The lodges and cottages are, of course, decorated with wildlife and an outdoorsy motif. The rooms and property are kept clean and well manicured. If you need a getaway, and you enjoy the outdoors, I highly recommend Big Cedar Lodge!

Pros: - rooms comfortable and space with different price ranges - nightly cookies in your room - paddle boats included in room rate - friendly staff - free shuttle that takes you anywhere inside the huge property. Cons: - the restaurants are always full, expensive and the food is so so I stayed here off season in March and opted for a cheaper room not overlooking the lake. We stayed in room 220 and it was great. The check In was super easy and fast. They had our spa reservations ready and reminded us of them. They offered to either have the extras charged to our room or we could pay as we go. We opted to pay as we go. The room was comfortable for two females. We each had a very comfortable bed with plenty of pillows. The room had a fridge, but no microwave. They did have a coffee pot. The coffee and tea were replenished almost daily. The bathroom was a little on the small side. Thank goodness for the vanity just outside the bathroom. That had plenty of space for our toiletries, make up and hair products. The toilets flushing was poor. We had to actually hold down the lever for the toilet paper to flush. The shower always had hot water. The toiletries included shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. The shampoo had a medicated smell, but the conditioner and lotion were nice smelling. We enjoyed the nightly gingerbread cookies. That was a sweet note. The property is beautiful and big. There's paved walking trails. Everything is closer than you think, but they do have a free shuttle that doesn't take long to come when you call them. We loved the paddle boats. They were included in the rate and we had no time limit while on them. They had activities schedule throughout the day. Some were free and some were not. Kids will stay busy here. They have a few pools. The on site restaurants offers a little bit of everything. Just beware that you are paying lodge prices. The spa was nice. We did get pedicures that I felt weren't up to par for what a normal pedicure would be, but I did not take advantage of their massage or facials. Prices for pedi and manis are comparable to any salon, but massage and facials are a little steep. Parking on property is easy and free. Tips: -if you want to eat off property, it will be a 20 min drive either direction. - do try to eat at the Keeter Center while in town. Do make reservations.

WARNING Review... We are currently staying at Big Cedar Lodge in the Valley View Lodge Building. We would NOT recommend that you stay in this building when booking! If not staying in one of the other buildings, save your money and stay at a newer hotel down the road! The enjoyment of the facility can't be had if your wake up grumpy... lol If you want a peaceful, restful enjoyable sleep you will NOT get it if you are staying on the First or Second floors of this building. We literally heard ever step that the people above us made starting at 5am when they woke up! We thought okay that may have been random then for the next two hours it was like the road of a stampede. The floors above are creaky and you can hear every step a person makes. No fault to the people above, they were just getting on with their day! Given the exclusiveness of the resort, this was definitely an extreme let down! When I contacted the front desk via the virtual assistant, they were going to look at moving our room for a more enjoyable stay. That's awesome. We will see how that goes. ****new**** Big Cedar delivers awesome customer service. They were very understanding of the situation and moved us to another room in another building with better sound proofing! They really made a bad experience much better! We look forward to a wonder nights sleep! FYI for families... there is no microwave in the the Room! We had a large dinner and got a take out box which we stored in the Fridge in unit. I looked around and said where is the Microwave? Why have a fridge and no microwave? When I contacted the front desk (virtual assistant) they said there would be a $35.00 up charge one time for a microwave to be placed in the room! Also, don't fall for the name of the building. There is no view of the Valley if staying on the wrong side of building. U literally see an out building and a parking lot!!!! If you do risk staying in this building make sure to request the appropriate side. We did not and we're highly disappointed with that. Also the people taking our order did not tell us we would be viewing a parking lot! On a positive note, the grounds are beautiful, lots of activities, and the shuttle service seems to be very good. It's close to the things we wanted to experience, however, we will be doing those things with a rudely awaken lack of sleep due to the insufficient sound proofing in their building. We will be attending the spa for a spa day and will review that later on in our stay. Review will be updated with additional insights on how this all worked out. Thank you

Be very sure before booking reservations! I had to cancel my reservations less than 48 hours after booking. This was for a stay a year from now in 2024. The resort charged a $100 without any consideration to my situation. In all my years of travel, I have never had a property charge a fee when the reservations are over a year out. It's not like they aren't going to sell the room to someone else. Very sad and terrible customer service. Shame on me for trying to plan ahead - life happens.

This place is gorgeous and exceeded my expectations. Went in late September and everything was decorated in fall colors and pumpkins. They even had a Halloween maze. So many things to do for families. We rented a cabin close to the lake. Service was excellent. The staff provided us with towels daily, they even did our dishes while we were gone having fun. As far as covid restrictions, you are required to wear masks in buildings and in restaurants. I felt the tables in the restaurants were not spaced out further (not like in Vegas). There is a marina on the resort property where you can kayak, canoe, paddle boat, and fish. Really a wonderful place to get close to nature.

I want to love this place. I hands down would say that the service of those working to clean the rooms, in the restaurants, marinas, shuttles, etc were amazing. The rooms from the website are really doctored. Sure, you will not be in your room the whole time, but when you are, it is really not that functional. We were in room 406 in the Springview room on the bottom floor (may have been 407). We had two rooms and were suppose to be next door, but instead one of our parties were upstairs with a nice patio and two doors and then we were down stairs with one french door that stares right into your room. You can have privacy but you have to close the big curtains and be in the dark. The point is to enjoy nature, but you have to shut those babies if you don't want everyone walking by looking in. Even when we left we didn't want our room to be on showcase, especially since we were right by the restaurant and by the stairs. You literally have to fight with the curtains and door to get out. When my husband left at 6am for golf, I would hear him fighting to close the door and curtain so people couldn't see my sleeping. It just felt very much like we were in a dungeon. AND, we had a humidifier going in the room when we checked in and no one addressed it. The room felt damp and so I assume it was to keep it dry, but again just made you feel like you were in a dungeon. We called to try and move next to our party upstairs, I get it not everyone gets a patio, but having a different door would have been better. The rooms on the ends of this building are pretty small, but will do the trick for a quick trip. Loved being by the bar/resturant so we didn't have to call a shuttle all the time. Shuttles became hard to come by when my party was golfing and I couldn't meet them for lunch at certain courses, only if I had a tee time. Normally, I would not complain. BUUUUUUUUUUT, we spent a lot of money here, like a LOT of money. It's not cheap. I would hope they would make the accommodations a little better for all the money you spend. We pretty much ate 3 meals a day at this place and hardly ventured off the property. That adds up. I feel like a few things go under way and they don't really care because they make so much money. Johnny Morris is an entrepreneur that I would love to support, but I also feel like in order to do that, a few things should be tweaked so you don't feel like your money isn't going far. We flew here from CA and we enjoyed the grounds, but the service and rooms were not worth the money. when we bring our family back next September we were hoping to stay here, but looking at the rates, I have no clue how large families can afford it. Hopefully we win the lotto so we can return in some capacity.

This review is for Camp Long Creek right outside of the Big Cedar Lodge property. We went at the beginning of December and had a blast! We stayed in a single room glamping cabin and brought our dog. My only regret is not booking the vacation for longer than a weekend! There is so much to do! We went on the Top of The Rock Lost Canyon Cave tour, saw all of the Big Cedar Christmas Lights, spent hours at the Cedar Creek Spa, went into the outdoor heated infinity pool and hot tub, and had an amazing dinner at the Worman House. Highly recommend for a relaxing but adventurous vacation!

I guess I take the Ozarks for granted since I grew up nearby, but it's like Jonny Morris or whatever the owner's name is took the Ozarks and slapped a big old price tag on it! This place is expensive! I thought we could get some lower prices with it being the dead of winter, but a precooked reheated breakfast for two at the Truman Cafe was $39! Wish we had just stayed in Branson or Springfield The staff were very nice, but the place just isn't worth the price I won't be back

Three stars...let me explain. 1 STAR for accomodations in the Springview Lodge (1 bedroom king). The room had a mildew/damp smell which Big Cedar is clearly aware of as evidenced by the dehumidifier next to the love seat as well as the rusted air vents. The furniture & carpet is old... like 1970s awful and needs to be replaced. For the price we paid I expected a very nice room. 5 STARS for everything outside of the room. Dining at Osage, Devil's Pool, Uncle Buck's was excellent! Boat rental was super reasonably priced at $55 per hour and the golf cart tour at Top of the Rock was great fun. So....I recommend staying elsewhere that's newer and less expensive than Big Cedar Lodge and just enjoying all of their activities and restaurants .

My family and I booked our 2nd visit for a 3 night Thanksgiving weekend so my grandson could see the amazing light display Big Cedar has as well as participate in some of the activities for children. Last year I booked a cabin that was a 2 bedroom near the marina. It was perfect! This year I decided to book a 3 bedroom cabin to have more room. This year 'not so especially for the price of the cabin plus the several issues we had'. One person wasn't able to go with us so when I checked in I cancelled that person as well as asked the clerk to cancel and refund the Nature At Night ride I had charged online for 3rd night. There was no record of the reservations on her end (I was told I could have it refunded on the scheduled night at Top of the Rock) but I did have a scheduled tram ride to see the lights 2 hours later. I told her that I hadn't made a reservation for that as we'd seen it last year. She cancelled it and refunded my charge. I asked her how I was charged for something that I hadn't made a reservation for. She said that 'sometimes a number is misplaced when a reservation is made'. I made sure after that I checked the charges I had. Onward. My family and I checked into the 'old rustic' cabin and likely the oldest. The master bedroom at night has low lighting. The jets on the upstairs bathtub didn't work. The fire in the fireplace hardly stayed lit so no fire per se. Unless the thermostat was turned up the room would stay cool. 1st morning: My daughter noticed a dead baby spider under the TV console. It was then that I noticed that the double doors going out to the deck had a significant gap at the bottom. OK. Stuff with towel which didn't work. Still, firewood didn't stay lit long. Onward: 2nd morning. My daughter woke me up about 6:00 a.m. to let me know a 'squirrel' had gotten into the upstairs bath (which she had a picture of) but at some point during the sudden door closure for containment it had left. I called the front desk and explained all the issues. They immediately had housekeeping come over to sanitize the bath, maintenance to fix the door and bath, and security. The jets weren't working because someone had turned off the switch on the breaker box. All the wood was waterlogged. A weather strip was going to be replaced with the doors open to the very cold outside but I said no need now. Finally, after such a frantic morning and it almost gone my family and I decided that even after the offer of a move to another cabin we would like to cancel the last night and leave. Big Cedar refunded $750 off the 2 nights and as well allowed us to cancel the 3rd night refunding our money for that night. We missed the Nature At Night tour but after I called my reservation and charge was refunded. As we were leaving I noticed a huge gap in the stairs going up. Where's the ongoing maintenance on these cabins especially at $1300/night! So, caution on renting a 3 bedroom or else you might be 'glamping' unwillingly. Johnny needs to hire Animal Control to proof his cabins and plug the holes inside and out.

Little slice of paradise here! My boyfriend & I had the most awesome time, really a trip to remember staying at the Indian Creek Lodge. The room was spectacular and the attention to detail throughout big cedar made it even better. Even the parking spots lines were creative with little fish. Our room had a cozy fireplace and the outside had a bunch of chairs one big enough for two to sit! They even bring you little cookies in the afternoon straight to your room. There was two bedrooms and two baths and a super nice tub too. The outside view was incredible. I was so sad to leave here! They have so much to do here you really are set for your stay. From golfing to Spas they have lots of excursions. There are bars and restaurants as well for breakfast, lunch & dinner. There's a cool whiskey tasting area too with a very knowledgeable bartender. I would love to return here it was gorgeous!

I didn't quite know what to expect. My parents wanted us to take us on a weekend getaway. We got 3 rooms in Falls Lodge. I expected the rooms to be nicer than they were. They just felt dated. The sheets on the beds were great but I hated the pillows. The room itself just didn't feel super clean or what I would expect for the price. The attention to detail just wasn't there. We had burned out lights in our room, our fireplace didn't work, etc. I will say the grounds are gorgeous and we enjoyed Fun Mountain and the indoor pool. The staff was all super friendly and helpful.

Rooms were very expensive and outdated and old. It was very difficult to get from cabins to restaurants because you had to take shuttles which were very slow.
