We love Big Cedar, but unfortunately this listing is misleading. This is not actually on Big Cedar property… it’s like 20 minute away. Knowing that I would not have booked.

Loved the decor and the property was very peaceful! I wish our room would have had wood ceilings and walls-more lodge looking. Our Internet didn't work/said router needed unplugged. And toilet didn't flush well.

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.

Property is beautiful but the room was dated and worn. Bed felt like grandma's 20 year old mattress. Furniture was beaten up. Bath fixtures were dated. I get the rustic "vibe" but this just felt old. Restaurants were expensive with really mediocre food. Staff were all fantastic and friendly.
