In the ancient Ozarks lies Branson, Missouri, the newest Mecca of country music. Developed in an ad-hoc fashion, Branson offers world-class entertainment but little in the way of world-class romantic accommodations. Fortunately, just several miles south on the shores of Table Rock Lake lies Big Cedar Lodge.
Constructed of limestone and cedar, Big Cedar Lodge cuts an imposing figure. Designed to feel like an upscale hunting lodge, Big Cedar succeeds. The decor of the main lodge features mounted grizzlies, antler chandeliers, a delightful timbered restaurant, and a beautiful mahogany bar. The rooms continue this theme and include many luxuries. Be sure to request a room with a fireplace and Jacuzzi bath; the suites in Valley View Lodge are especially posh. For more privacy, Big Cedar has eighty cabins spread along the lake and surrounding hillsides. While nearby Branson offers a multitude of attractions, Big Cedar Lodge's activities are impressive in their own right. Table Rock Lake boasts some of the best bass fishing in the world and Big Cedar offers guided fishing trips. If fishing doesn't appeal to you, there's horseback riding, tennis, the par-3 Jack Nicklaus designed golf course, or the spa and fitness center.
