A Week To Remeber

This past week my family and I were treated to a 2 night 3 day stay at Big Cedar Wilderness Club. Friends of our here in KC called us up and asked if we could go and they were treating. All we had to do was pack our bags, bring some food (or eat out) and show up. The resort is about 3 1/2 hours south of KC very near Branson, MO.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The first night we took a sunset catamaran cruise. The second night we left our kids in the room late at night for a couple hours while we went and hung out with our friends and had some desert. There was also a ton of swimming to be had. The lodge pictured above is actually the indoor swim house. It is encircled by a lazy river that is for floating inner tubes around. There is also another outdoor pool, miniature golf, horseback riding, a full blown marina with paddle boats and canoes for free, and boat rentals.

The grounds were beautiful. This waterfall you have to drive thru on your way into the lodge. It has several steps from the top of the hill all the way down to Table Rock Lake below. There are also many different types of trees and flowers. There is hardly a place that your eyes can land that doesnt have a beautiful touch of fauna. It seemed like every color of the rainbow was represented.

This resort was the first place we have been that as soon as we entered the rooms, we instantly felt relaxed and at home. The rooms are equipped with a full blown kitchen to include a dishwasher and all the dishes. pots and pans and cutlery a person could ever need. It was amazing. Here are two more pictures to show the room, and the sunset.
