Large property, but had to shuttle for everything and shuttle took at least 30 mins to go anywhere. Golf was very good. Rooms were very expensive for what was offered. Staff was exceptional.

Disappointed

Property dated. Cottage small for the price. Rented a cabana and service was mediocre. Front desk gave wrong directions to cottage at check in and wouldn’t provide assistance when we locked ourselves out of the room. We had to return to the front desk only to be told we should have called and they would have brought us the key. First time to visit, will be the last. Not worth the hype.

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.
