Big Cedar Lodge
612 Devil’s Pool Rd., 800-BCLODGE, big-cedar.com
Few places in the world are more special than Big Cedar Lodge. Just ten minutes south of Branson, as you wind through the wooded entrance, it’s as if you’ve entered another world. And it’s a world that welcomes you with open arms.
Tucked into the wooded hillsides of the Ozark Mountains with majestic views of Table Rock Lake, you’ll find all the amenities of a typical luxury resort. Yet, this wilderness lodge is anything but typical, which you’ll quickly discover. Maybe the discovery will come from the groundskeeper who waves as you pass by, or the receptionist who settles you in, or the “cookie lady” delivering homemade cookies to your room. It won’t take long to discover you’re in a special place.
Lodging accommodations range from a room in one of three tastefully appointed lodges to a cozy cottage to a rustic log cabin. Think fireplaces, jetted tubs and beautiful views of Table Rock. And, there’s a world of fun waiting outside your door.
Rent a boat with the family at the Bent Hook Marina and Market. Want to putter around and soak up the beauty of the lake and shore? Water ski or tubing? Angling to be an angler? Pontoons, canoes, ski and fishing boats are all available. Hire an experienced fishing guide to take you to the best spots on the lake.
Maybe a spa day is more your style. Big Cedar offers two spa locations, each featuring top-notch professionals to soothe your mind, body and soul. Or step it up a notch with horse-backing riding, a hike in the magnificent Dogwood Canyon or a fun, old-fashioned carriage ride through the Big Cedar property. There are family-fun activities out on the lawn all summer long and the kids can escape to the “Kids Only” Little Cedar Kids’ Club.
With all this activity, you’re going to be hungry. Enjoy a deliciously casual meal at Devil’s Pool or a gourmet dinner at The Worman House, especially the spectacular Sunday brunch. Relax in front of the fire and enjoy the entertainment at the Buzzard Bar. In the mood for something lighter? Truman Coffee & Café has tasty sandwiches and fresh salads. Big Cedar Lodge offers a level of service and amenities that keep guests coming back again and again. Don’t miss out on big summer fun at Big Cedar Lodge. You’ll be making memories for life.
