We had dinner at Uncle Bucks in Fun Mountain. The service was poor, our orders were wrong and felt like the price was not in line for the experience we had. The property was beautiful and we loved the rooms. Just had a bad dining experience is the only negative... however; we will surely come back, and just eat somewhere in Branson perhaps.

We loved our stay in Big Cedar's Glamping unit this weekend. It was peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed using the Long Creek pool and hot tub area The outdoor bathtub and fire pit area was absolutely incredible. The only thing that would have made it better would be adults-only areas. When you finally get away from your kids for the weekend, you don't really want to hear someone else's screaming and crying. An adults-only pool would be amazing! The "tent" was amazing and so comfortable. The only reason I didn't give a full five stars was because the zippers on ours were broken. and you couldn't close it up very well. All in all we loved our stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to get away for a romantic weekend.

If you want to stay at Big Cedar resort. I highly recommend you to NOT STAY at “Camp Long Creek” it’s very inconvenient. Way too far for us. It doesn’t feel like you are staying at Big Cedar.
The lady at the reception. I think her name is Tammy, was completely unhelpful to us. She definitely made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. We asked her if she can point us to the infinity pool that was close to her place. And she pointed us to a completely different one. We had kids with us. And her direccional added an extra hour of waisted time. When I complained to a person in a chat line. They just gave me a phone number to call. We have come many times to Big Cedar. But this time was different. Maybe because we rented through a third party like Expedia. I don’t understand. And I don’t feel they made it right.

The room was very old and run down. Light fixtures didn’t work, an overwhelming musty smell, had not been cleaned properly… The mini fridge had opened wine bottles in it. The rooms located at Valley View are in desperate need of refurbishment. This was the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had simply because the room was disgusting.

Ours was an anniversary visit to Big Cedar Lodge. It was our first visit and did not know what to expect. The setting of the lodge was spectacular. If one is up to a good stretch of the legs, activities and restaurants are walkable. The Top of the Rock was fantastic, do take the car, it is a short beautiful drive. The room was clean, well supplied. Every staff member, we encountered, was friendly and helpful. Our next visit will be even better than our first.

Excellent property with plenty of things to do! My husband and I went for a quick weekend getaway and enjoyed the pools, hot tubs, and many other amenities onsite. Perk of going on Memorial Day weekend was the firework show!! Only thing we didn’t LOVE was the food! Was just ok!

What a fabulous spot! As a family of 5, we had more than enough room (family room, kitchen, balcony, 2 bedrooms & 2 baths)to spread out & really enjoy our stay!! BCL is beautiful & a true treasure, away from the hustle & tourist trap, aka Branson. Thank you for sharing your spot with us, we will be back!!

An excellent experience. We arrived tired and late with a horse trailer (empty). They had special parking for our trailer and great shuttle service. Security escorted us to our parking spot (with the trailer) and they were wonderful! The accommodations were fantastic! Although we were only scheduled for one night, we will be making this a vacation destination in the near future. Very impressed!

Beautiful setting and the weather was nice. Our room in the lodge was easy to get to and offered a beautiful view.

Friendly staff and beautiful property. Possibly the best golf in the Midwest.
Only complaint is the last guests body wash and shampoo were still in the shower, made me wonder if the bathroom had even been cleaned at all.

We booked our trip through hotels.com and were sold new rooms. We booked four rooms one of which had a fireplace and twin queen sized beds.
We payed for rooms that were pictured in the Hotel.com site located in the Falls Lodge. We were sent to Valley view lodge which was old, small rooms and all the same with now fireplace. We payed extra for an upgrade for my wife and myself. We got the same small room as our kids. Big Cedar claimed they were sold out that weekend. Very dissatisfied and expect a follow up call to see what can be done.

We made a quick trip to Branson and decided to stay at Big Cedar. It is such a beautiful place! I wish we had a longer time to see everything but we will be back. Parking at Valley View Lodge was a bit tricky but it worked out ok.

We loved almost everything about our stay, including the details of the decor, the cleanliness, complementary snacks and drinks, friendly And helpful staff, activities, restaurants. We loved the 5K trail even in January! Such a beautiful place! If we had to say anything negative it would be limited, our only dislike would be that the lights in our cottage didn’t seem bright enough even when we had them turned up. It is expensive to stay, but worth every penny.

The entire property is so well thought out in addition to being beautiful (even in January). My husband and I spent everyday doing something on the property, there are so many choices and they change according to the season! The food was incredible! It was a very special 25th Anniversary (including the sweet card, cake and glasses that we found in our room to help celebrate). We can't wait to go back, we want to see the lodge in every season!

Spa weekend with my daughter. We had a wonderful stay. Big Cedar never disappoints. Great room. The view of the lake from our room was fantastic.

Very beautiful setting in the Ozarks with such a variety of things to do! Shuttle service at night especially appreciated.
4.0
Overall it was a nice stay. The property is beautiful. Our cabin had a few issues, tub leaked and sink was stopped up.
I would also prefer a gas starter for the fireplace. I like wood burning fireplaces but we were never able to get the fire to catch. For the price a gas starter would be good.
It was relaxing. Most of the food was good. I thought some of the activities were over priced. A discount for people staying at the resort would have been nice. More things for toddlers to do, maybe an indoor playground?
We will definitely go back when our kids are older.
