I am doing some long range vacation study. Has anyone out there ever stayed at Big Cedar Lodge in Missouri? This is the place owned by Johnny Morris/BPS. If you have, I would appreciate your review.

Yep great place to stay just go by travel booth at Bass pro and they will make you a deal you cant refuse.lots to do around there Bass Pro Shops,Lamberts thhrowed rolls,fish hatchery below table rock,ride the ducks,Branson shows and trout fishing in taneycomo

There are lots of places as nice that don't cost as much.

Kimberling Inn is pretty decent and probably half the price of big cedar. They are super proud of all their stuff. Don't get me wrong, its gorgeous there!

We loved it, well worth it.

We drove through the resort while we were in the area this summer it looked very nice!!!

We stayed in a Lakeside Cabin there for our 25th wedding anniversary and had a blast. My wife got an in room massage that was pretty good. We went into town and bought our own grocerys for a week since the cabins had a kitchen and saved 100s by doing that. I took my seadoo to cat around Tablerock and sight-see. I found that the restaurants were pretty pricey there. We hired a guide a couple of days from River-run outfitters and fished the taneycomo that was fun with fly-rods. We also had included in our package a trip to Dogwood canyons that was neat to see but the fishing wasn't too great there unless you were one of Johnny Morris' guest and got to fish the best spots which was forbidden. The resort is really family oriented and lots of family stuff to do. The cabins are really nice but you only can park your vehicle there because there is no room for even a seadoo trailer. they have trailer parking in a parking lot off of the resort which has no cameras nor guards so security is suspect there.

We did this deal...It was awesome and dirt cheap!

I am going to go this route, for sure.

I am always looking for nice places. Can you recommend 3 or 4?

Just a heads up....I don't know if they still do this or not, but when we did this deal they told us we had to attend a sales presentation for one of their timeshares while we were there or we wouldn't get the special rate. The "sales Presentation" consisted of us one-on-one with an extremly high pressure salesman....If you're able to say "NO!" about a million times it works out to be a great deal!

Stayed their on my honeymoon 19.5 years ago in a log cabin and it was awesome. No idea how it has been kept since.
