I wanted to comment on our trip to Big Cedar Lodge. Several months ago, there was a posting about it. I visited their website and requested more information about their Wilderness Club. A few weeks later a salesperson called and offered us a 2 night/3 day stay at their lodge for $139. The catch was we had to attend their 90 minute presentation. However, we would get $100 in Big Cedar Bucks at the end of the presentation.
I thought it sounded like a good deal so we booked it for Dec. 17 and 18. Since it was just DH and I, we were upgraded to a honeymoon cabin (normally it is $319 with the presentation).
The resort is very beautiful and very relaxing. We spent quite a bit of time in our private cabin. There was a king size bed with a fluffy comforter that was nice and toasty. The couch looked to be a pull out, but I wouldn't want to share with another couple. It would be fine with your kids, but there is not a lot of privacy in the cabin. There was a fireplace and the wood was kept on the porch. It had a full kitchen with stove, microwave, oven, fridge, and dishwasher. There were complimentary sodas (coke) and juice in the fridge along with a gift basket of snacks on the table. The jacuzzi tub seated 2 and was kind of a heart shaped. There was a walk-in shower with an overhead faucet (kind of like being rained on) and 3 going down the shower wall. There was a seat in the shower as well. The bathroom also had double sinks and very nice soaps. There was also a walk-in closet in the bedroom area with a safe. The entire cabin had vaulted ceilings and stainglass windows. There were stuffed deer heads, squirrels, fox and fish on the walls. Our deck had a table for 4 and a gas grill and overlooked the marina.
All in all, we had a fabulous time. It was interesting to hear their presentation; however, we elected not to purchase anything at this time. Their 1 bedroom display model looked very similar to the 1 bedroom DVC room was stayed at in October. The presentation was low key and low pressure. Our sales guy was very nice and asked some questions about DVC.
If you have a chance to visit or live within driving distance of Branson (like us), it would be worth it to see what type of deal you can get. We were very surprised and had a wonderful time.
If you have any questions, please post and I'll answer them the best that I can.
