My family and I enjoyed our stay at Big Cedar. Lots of activities and clean and comfortable accommodations. Staff was stellar. Friendly and Helpful. I have to say that the value was not all that great. My room was $600 give or take, and it was nothing special. Again, it was a great place and I would return. The value was my only gripe.

A breathtakingly beautiful resort. Cottage charming and well stocked. Staff exceedingly helpful and friendly. Food at Mountain Top Grill excellent, service superb. Cottage location a bit hard to find & drive to. Roundabouts a bit confusing but traffic was light so you can figure out the way without rushing. All in all, a superb wilderness resort managed beautifully in lodges and cottages and on the vast grounds whicih are beautifully landscaped.

The property is beautiful. There are several things to do. The only thing we were not crazy about was the restaurant on the property that we chose. There are several and I'm sure several are good. At the one we chose the food was just ok. For sure not worth the $100 price tag for two people, with much food being left on the table.
