Rustic-chic resort on 800 acres with a range of rooms & log cabins, plus dining & recreation.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Big Cedar Lodge is one of the most breathtaking resorts you’ll ever experience. Nestled in the Ozark Mountains overlooking Table Rock Lake, it feels like the perfect mix of luxury, nature, and classic American lodge charm. The views alone are worth the trip — peaceful lake scenery, rolling hills, and incredible sunsets that make you want to slow down and soak it all in. The property has so much to offer. From world-class golf and outdoor adventures to relaxing at the beautiful Cedar Creek Spa, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re boating on the lake, exploring the trails, or just enjoying the cozy lodge atmosphere, every moment feels special. The accommodations are warm, rustic, and incredibly comfortable, and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is unforgettable. With great restaurants, amazing amenities, and endless things to do, it’s truly the kind of place where lifelong memories are made. If you’re looking for a five-star getaway near Branson that combines luxury with the beauty of the outdoors, Big Cedar Lodge is absolutely unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back! 🌅🏞️⭐️ If you want, I can also  write a longer Google-style review (the kind that gets a lot of likes and views) for Big Cedar.
My 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.
This place. 5 star?...Maybe out of 10. We were so disappointed as soon as we stepped in our room. It felt more like Motel 8 with a rustic theme. We typically stay at 4 or 5 star hotels. The bathroom was cheap, the cheap shower vinyl walls could be pushed inward about a half inch. The window in the bathroom was an odd choice, anytime our kids used the bathroom at night it would light up the whole room. The room smelled musty and the carpet needs cleaned. The room door was very gappy and cold air was shooting through. We could hear the people on both sides and above us all night. We ate on-site and each time we waited at least 40 mins and our food was always room temp or cold. Everything was overpriced for the quality. I'm sure this place was nice in the 90s but it desperately needs updating now. I get the feeling they are pushing off remodeling until they get enough complaints. We left a day early, our kids called it a tourist trap. Very underwhelming for the price. If it was 150 a night we'd be fine, 300+ was a straight rip off for what it was. The parking at the registration is a joke, they need more parking spaces. Very disappointed for the money we spent on this vacation. As we were packing up our stuff a family was arriving a few doors down, the wife said "we paid how much for this??" when they walked in the room. Find a better place that cares about the product they put out for people. It's possible to hit the luxury wilderness target, this place misses big time.
