Big Cedar Lodge isn’t just a resort—it’s a whole experience.
Tucked in the heart of Missouri’s Ozark Mountains, this getaway blends high-end comfort with the kind of outdoorsy charm that makes you want to chop wood (or at least pretend to).
Stay in Style, Wilderness Optional
Whether you’re booking a private cabin, lakeside cottage, or lodge suite, every stay comes with serious cozy vibes.
Expect wood-beamed ceilings, stone fireplaces, and bathtubs that could double as small swimming pools.
Want to really lean in? Some accommodations come with private decks, hot tubs, and views that scream peace out, city life.
Activities for Every Level of Outdoorsy
Big Cedar isn’t just about relaxing—it’s a full-on adventure hub.
You can hike scenic trails, paddle across Table Rock Lake, go fishing, or play a round at a championship golf course.
There’s even a cave tour. Yes, a literal cave.
And if “nature” for you means a spa robe and cucumber water? You’re in luck.
Cedar Creek Spa is a full-service sanctuary with grotto pools and Himalayan salt rooms.
Family-Friendly and Couple-Approved
Got kids in tow? Big Cedar has plenty of family-friendly programming, including mini-golf, archery, paddleboats, and kid-focused nature activities.
There’s even a lazy river and indoor pool for when weather isn’t cooperating.
On a romantic getaway instead? Grab a sunset cruise, book a couples’ massage, or toast the evening with cocktails by a lakeside fire pit.
Dining with a View (and a Vibe)
You don’t have to leave the resort for good eats.
Big Cedar offers multiple dining options—from fine steakhouse dinners to casual BBQ with sweeping lake views.
Whether you’re dressing up or keeping it flannel casual, there’s a place to match your mood (and your appetite).
