Just checked into our two bedroom cottage and it's spectacular. We got several days to go and I can't wait to explore. My brother and sister in law are enchanted, this was our gift to them. Can't wait to see the Christmas lights during our drive tonight and enjoy some of the restaurants. Usually I write this at the end of a stay, but this is so much more than we expected and I am thrilled to have the ability to do this for my brother.

We love Big Cedar, it is a beautiful property. We have stayed several times in different accommodations, the last time in a knotty pine cottage. It was very small but convenient to all the amenities and you can park right outside your door. We prefer the Falls Lodge rooms, much larger and nice views however it is a bit of a downhill/uphill walk to amenities. About the overall customer service - overall I would describe Big Cedar as arrogant. They are very inflexible. We booked our stay several months ago and the customer service agent said she would make sure we had a great cottage with a fireplace. When we checked in we were in a duplex cottage in the side with no fireplace. They offered no consideration of any kind. Also we noticed ants in our bath and later on our bedding and they said they would send someone to spray - no thank you. We do understand it is a large property and is usually very busy and overall our stays have always been good. Just know that no changes can be made within 21 day window and the customer service is lacking a bit with kindness. Very business oriented.

"They put us in BFE 15 minutes away !"

We have been patrons of Big Cedar for years. That ended this time. We (along with another couple booked cabins for this weekend. We are here celebrating our 12 year wedding anniversary. We booked what was available - a one room cabin x 2. Easily spending 1400/ night. However the shock and disappointment of the cabin being 15 minutes off of property away from restaurants and activities has completely spoiled the weekend. I am ashamed for our friends to check in tomorrow after following our directions to book at Big Cedar as well only be be stuck out in the middle of nowhere. We have multiple rounds of golf booked at the different Big Cedar courses and other activities. I would assume that someone or at least some notification would have been provided to us that the cabin you put us in was 15 minutes off property.

"Some charm, but there's a price for it"

Reviewed October 20, 2024
We stayed at the Falls Lodge. Second floor. Yes, I could hear people moving on the third floor above us but it was reasonable. The first night we slept on pillow that were so outrageous I'd swear there was a balloon in them. The second night we were given reasonable pillows upon request. The room is spaceous and parking convenient. It's just wicked expensive and we didn't even have time to do much at the resort. No exercise classes on Mondays. I doubt we would stay here again due to the price.
