I cannot say enough about this place. Yes, it's a bit pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. Big Cedar offers exceptional customer service hands down! From the check in desk, to the servers,to the shuttle drivers, to the housekeeping crew, EVERYONE was extremely friendly and accommodating. Although we were snowed in and many of the attractions closed because of the weather we had a fabulous time. Our fireplace wood was stocked daily, the roads were salted and plowed and a crew even showed up to shovel our walk! The Christmas lights were still up and beautiful in the snow. Our cabin had everything we could want PLUS stunning view with breathtaking sunsets. read more

Big Cedar Lodge is magical during Christmas season. The entire property is covered in lights and decorations done perfectly. It feels like a holiday movie in real life. Kids absolutely love it. One of the best places to spend Christmas with family. read more

We stayed here for three nights as our home base for exploring Branson for our first family summer vacation with my 1-year old daughter. The grounds are beautifully and immaculate and the main buildings and restaurants are gorgeous. The star of the show is, of course, the Top of the Rock with the 9-hole course, Arnie's Barn, General Store, Wine Cellar, Osage Restaurant and Buffalo Bar as well as the Chapel of the Ozark and the golf-cart tour. We really enjoyed the wine cellar, buffalo bar and osage and then enjoyed the view from the back patio and toured the chapel. The pro shop is lovely and had friendly staff and the general store is huge and well-stocked with even more friendly staff. This place is expensive - around $500-600 per person for even the "cheap" rooms and our room was musty and old and smelled moldy with huge wood furniture and a weird bathroom layout in need of major update and a small shower enclosure with no tub. While we enjoyed the two bedroom room and the balcony - it wasn't to the level of the rest of the resort... the rooms need some TLC in a bad way for updates. We visited Fun Mountain and I found it to be impressive with loads of fun things for kids and families to do with bowling, laser tag, an arcade, putt-putt, go karts and a restaurant as well as an outdoor high ropes course and indoor slide. They have several restaurants and pools and walking trails including a paved 5k trail that runs along the lake, waterfalls, and marina area which I enjoyed as well as a huge gym complex. We did not have time to visit the Wilderness Center and Lazy River on this visit or get a paddle boat or canoe because we had our one year old but plan to take advantage of the marina and other amenities next time. read more

We had an anniversary trip here in October with great weather, and a lovely cabin at their nearby "Camp Long Creek" area. I'll do my best to sum up the experience, but one can easily see the appeal -free shuttles to take you anywhere and everywhere on property, their own Uber. -A campfire set up for your cabin, but full HVAC inside including an electric fireplace. -Probably the most comfortable 'hotel' bed I can recall -Adjacent pool* -Marina with food/coffee truck* -Loads of restaurants and other things to do around Big Cedar We got a special deal because it's the offseason, and while nice offerings, we ultimately didn't end up using much of them (game card at Fun Mountain, speed boat rental but required boat license and 3 hr class, etc.) One disappointing thing to watch for is there's a reason they have offseason deals, and it was a little bit of a trick. There's a cool pool! But it was closed for maintenance the day we were there. There's a REALLY cool looking Airstream trailer we were banking on for coffee and breakfast, but they changed hours the day or two before we arrived and were closed for the season. Had I known, I would've packed some breakfast foods of my own in a cooler. So a bit of a bummer in that regard. It was still a great trip, and I loved the cabin and the shuttles to get around. I wish they'd stocked the cabin with a little more, especially on the coffee side.. just some weak, motel quality coffee that we churned through the first day. It can be really pricey even packaged together on a deal, but I think it can all be worth it for a special occasion. Nice place and fun first experience. read more

We came to say for our anniversary. We stayed on a holiday weekend and you couldn't tell that they were sold out or very busy. Such a large property that you're pretty spread out you stayed at camp Long Creek in the tiny cabins. When we first got into the cabin, there were wasps so thankfully, My Husband was able to get them out. There was someone parked in our spot. We had to park farther down and they stated the whole time which was unfortunate. Then we had someone in the cabin next to us that according to them had a very aggressive dog that was on a lead and the dog would charge at us with our toddler constantly. I'm not sure why that was allowed. You're in a common area so we were not able to use the fire pit or any of those amenities with the dog out. They left chocolate in our room to make s'mores but once we opened it, it looked very old so we did not touch it and just threw it away There is a lot to do on the properties such as fun mountain, camp Long Creek, the marina, cruise diner tour, a couple restaurants although we only had three options during this weekend because they were over full they said which was unfortunate. We probably wouldn't have booked if we had known this in the beginning because we're excited about the places to try Even realize we didn't talk to security about the dog issue a few times and nothing was ever offered to us to move to a safer cabin or move them to a secluded cabin, which is unfortunate Hopefully, they improve this process and make it more family, friendly in regards to the wasp, people bringing dogs and ensuring all amenities are available read more

This is such an amazing place to stay. I really can't recommend it enough. We were doing a US coast to coast road trip and this was our favorite stay of the trip. Easy to find and close to town but still away from everything. Once you pass the gates the drive in is beautiful. The check in area is also really pretty and check in was fast and easy. Our room was very nice. The room was nice size, comfortable, and had everything you could want. The on property activities are fantastic!! read more

Be careful booking at Big Cedar Lodge. We had to cancel because our son needed surgery, but they still enforced their strict 21-day cancellation policy and wouldn't offer a refund or even a credit. We're now out $1,000 due to a medical emergency. Very disappointing. read more

This is a wonderful nature retreat and is well maintained. The environment is aesthetically pleasing and there is something for everyone to do here including families. There are plenty of food options available. A note of complaint: I was not able to check in upon arrival although it was after 4pm. No apologies. Just sit & wait until I get a text stating I can now check in. Perhaps just clean the rooms of those who check out instead of every room every day might help. I know it would help aid conservation efforts. No need to wash everyone's towels on a daily basis. Also it seems the shuttle service has some "glitches". If one gets a confirmation of shuttle service pickup it is expected that there would be a shuttle at the confirmed time and location. Not always the case. These are minor complaints to the overall picture of a lovely getaway and time well spent. The museum at Top of the Rock is world-class. read more

Big Cedar Lodge - Resorts Near Me - Ridgedale, Missouri

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. read more

The grounds and resort look beautiful especially when all lit up with Christmas lights. We stayed in a Spring View Lodge two bedroom. The location was excellent, next to Devils Pool and Buzzard Restaurants. We could easily walk to the Registration building and Truman snack coffee shop. Make sure you prepare yourself to spend a lot of extra money on food and fun activity extras. The rooms were very very tired and in need of a desperate update. We had several bugs in our room and the carpet is so dirty I didn't walk without shoes on. The bathroom is so small you can barely turn around in it. We paid almost $600 a night and this is not a $600 worth room. We did enjoy the resort but probably won't be back till they do some refurbishing of the rooms. read more

Big Cedar Lodge - The very small bathroom - Resorts Near Me - Ridgedale, Missouri

Husband and I come every year to celebrate our Anniversary for over a decade. This year is our 20 Yr. Anniversary. We look forward to our getaway every year. Unfortunately, I do not think we will be back. Our cabin had ants in it , we called the front desk and they said somebody will be over to spray so instead of relaxing we had to leave for 4 hours. When we returned nobody had been by. Called the front desk again, they said they would send someone over. Not 1 person apologized. Two hours later , they brought bait traps. The next morning we woke up we had ants in the bed , in the bathroom , everywhere. Called the front desk again, they said they would finally move us. Again , instead of relaxing we had to pack everything up and wait for another cabin to open up. We spent another 4 hours just waiting outside the resort. When they called us to let us know a cabin is ready we went in and there were 2 toe nails on the nightstand right by the phone. At this point I just wanted to go home. My husband called the front desk and FINALLY spoke to someone ( Abby) who wanted to make it right. We were able to get into our 3rd cabin for our 3 night stay and it was perfect. The cabin like we usually stay in , a cozy 1 bedroom cabin. Abby was generous enough to comp us a meal. When I went to go eat my meal there was mold in the cheese. My husband and I are usually not ones to complain , we know things happen. My husband and I both needed this trip desperately, I lost my Mom , My Brother and my Dad within months of each other. All we wanted to do is get away and take a breathe. Unfortunately that did not happen , we spent more time in our car then in one of the cabins. read more

Big Cedar Lodge - Toenails from the previous guests. - Resorts Near Me - Ridgedale, Missouri

Because of the time share nonsense that is highly pushed here makes this a horrible place to go. I will never go back. They make big promises when you sign up and then you find out that it is a big scam and you don't get access to really anything while you are there and they just try to trick you into a timeshare that is a rip off. Do the MATH. basically over a 30 year time period your $45k + would amount to $800k + with 10% interest in a mutual fund. Instead you can trade that for an annoying timeshare that you feel obligated to use and pay a yearly $2,100+ in yearly fees on. You still have to pay for travel plus food, this only covers your room remember. Their financing is a total rip off. 16.99% should be illegal. All I can say is run... run far away if you are going to this place for any timeshare presentation. They say it is low pressure but that is a total lie. They will waste hours of your day trying to manipulate you. the whole trip is ruined by the time they get done trying to scam you. They are very pushy and have no trouble lying. Johnny Morris should be really ashamed of what they have turned his place into. read more

All great with few major errors. Gal at checkin was extremely hard to understand (from Ecuador?). Her info was wrong. They push an app for everything that doesn't work worth crap. Took us to wrong building. Does do half the stuff it purports and menus all wrong. The golf cart tour is awesome but the winter covers make it nearly impossible for those in back seats to see. Worst was I have bad knee. We were put three big flights of stairs up in a building with no elevator. That was really inexcusable. No one warned us. Other than these things.... a beautiful fun place. read more

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. read more

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.

This place is absolutely perfect and we cannot wait to go back. Thank you for the perfect winter getaway read more

We love Big Cedar Lodge and have stayed multiple times and will return. However during our most recent visit the food was absolutely horrible. Worman house was over priced, stale bread, free appetizer (rice cake) tasteless, after dinner treat (blue mint) had to spit out, and filet was below average. $280 for two people I would expect it to reach level of fine dining. Top of the Rock brunch was very good but over priced. Top of the Rock Grill - Chicken Caesar Salad - Chicken cold and tasteless - service slow, old fashioned was absolutely awful. Great golf, great room, restaurants are rip off. Living on name and past reputation. Come for golf. Stay away from all dining. read more

I don't think I've ever seen a place more adept at relieving you of you money, in small increments as Big Cedar Lodge. Just to get your car to the general area of restaurants is 10 bucks, with an additional 20 to park. Not a ransom, but certainly an irritant. Menu is very limited, and pricing compares poorly to top end restaurants in major cities. My guess is that they aren't looking for a lot of long term business. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Extremely disappointed in what was meant to be a high-end stay. After spending several thousand dollars, our reservations were mishandled multiple times -- including both our room and dinner. After the second room mistake (which cost us our two-bedroom cottage), I had to ask Shannon for any recognition of the inconvenience; she then offered a 10% discount. On the third issue, Shannon assured us we'd be moved to a comparable cabin -- instead, we were given two one-bedroom cabins. When Adam took over, he refused to honor the discount and offered only a $200 food credit. Meanwhile, Courtney tried to frame a $2,500 private dining room as a favor. The only sincere apology came from the front desk operator. Communication, organization, and accountability have been unacceptable. Guests deserve better. read more

We stayed in November and was placed in a cottage. Made our reservations in May and wanted a cabin. The furniture was in bad shape. Went to eat at Buffalo Bar. Lost our food order. We sat there from 6:30p and finally left the restaurant at 9:00p. Was late getting on the golf cart to see the Christmas lights because of the restaurant issue. It was just a bad trip and so disappointing. The sad part was we paid over $3,000 for our trip to Big Cedar Lodge and had a bad experience. They charge for everything, I accidentally forgot my toothbrush and asked for one at the reservation desk when we checked in and was told I could purchase one in the gift shop. We called for a shuttle to pick us up at our cottage and went outside to wait. Three shuttles flew by but didn't stop. So when the next one came by we stood in the middle of the road until he stopped and then he told us he couldn't take us to the Buffalo Bar so we had to wait a while longer. When I contacted Big Cedar to let them know how our stay was all we received back was an email back basically saying we will pass on your concerns. Never heard another word. Sad to say we will not go back again. We live in the area where Johnny started his first store and we shopped at his store when the store first opened. read more

Lied to from the start! And for some reason, even though they already had all my information, they made me send them another email to set up our shuttles for our golf. Then we try to rent a boat and we get turned away bc they said they can't do anything in case it gets busy. It was empty and nobody was booking anything. Terrible customer service. Fuck this place! Don't ever go here! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Beware of this place! I made reservations for 5 one-bedroom units and 2 two-bedroom units 16 months out. I called to move the reservations by 2 days and the said they would not guarantee the room rates and would have to charge me $700 for a change fee. I said that was ridiculous and wanted to cancel. They then said they would have to charge another $700 fee to cancel. I argued with them and they agreed to charge only $700. Still ridiculous given the reservation was so far out and they would not guarantee the room rates. read more
