From the moment we arrived, the property felt peaceful, secluded, and absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking views of Table Rock Lake all around us. The scenery alone made the stay feel special. Our accommodations at Long Creek were cozy, spacious, and beautifully designed. I loved how it had that upscale cabin feel--rustic and charming while still feeling comfortable and modern. The bed was very comfortable, the space felt clean and inviting, and waking up to the quiet lake atmosphere was incredibly relaxing. One of the best parts of staying at Long Creek was the privacy. It felt more peaceful than the main lodge, making it perfect if you want a quiet getaway while still having access to all the amazing amenities at Big Cedar. The pool area was gorgeous and relaxing, and being so close to the marina made lake activities super convenient. Whether you're traveling as a couple, with family, or even for a group trip, there's plenty to enjoy. Guests often highlight the privacy and scenic setting as major perks.

My check in did not mention the vehicle registration and I received a violation for $75 for not registering my vehicle from a third party vendor.

They said you need to run the water for at least 10 minutes. I found that answer to be appalling. Such a waste of natural resources! Do they not have awareness of Mother Earth? I took cold showers for five days. They need to invest in some other system. The bellmen were terrific and always held the heavy front doors open. I found the pool staff random. They would hover over you or be totally gone. We ate off-site most of the time because of how pricey and non-descriptive the culinary options were.

He also provided backup equipment, including rod & reel which ended up being used since we snagged a log that took hook and all our line.

They have awesome kids pools, but they were all closed for maintenance. There is however a fairly small but nice playground that our 2yr old grandson thoroughly enjoyed. Our house had A/C issues, it never did get down to the low 70's which we set it for despite being a fairly mild weekend. The whole family got a kick out of the watching the ground hogs which are everywhere! We saw very little of the staff which seemed odd but not a problem, and they were very friendly. With the closest lake access being a couple minutes driving distance, and the closest beach being even further, the pool not working left us very little to do on site. If you do go to the beach, be aware that the entry line is insanely slow and chaotic. People yelling at each other and a police presence, After about 10 minutes in line, we along with several other vehicles left without ever getting in. I suspect the earlier you go the better chance you have.

I showed up to check in and while i was in line I overheard the people in line beside me. They were surprised and happy that they had only booked a 2 bedroom and they were given a 4 bedroom. When I came up to check in they told me that I had booked a 2 bedroom and that they were out of 4 bedroom units. That's not possible because they have limits on how many people are allowed to book a 2 bedroom unit. I went out and got my phone and showed them the reservation that clearly showed my reservation for my family of 7 that was booked for a 4 bedroom. They told me they had none left. I asked them if we could get two 2 bedrooms and switch to a 4 bedroom when one became available. They said they would have one available 2 days later and we waited 20 minutes for them to get it straightened out. They assured us that they would put priority on getting our place ready first thing Sunday so we could get moved early in the day. I also asked if we could have a restaurant voucher for our trouble. They gave us a $60 voucher for 7 people that didn't even cover 5 of us and had an 18% gratuity automatically added. Our cottage wasn't ready early as promised so we decided to go swim while waiting. When our room was finally ready Sunday afternoon we all packed up and left the pool, picked up our cards from the office and went to move our stuff only to find out that they had already deactivated our cards at the first cottages. We had to go back to the office where we were gaslit again. They told us they didn't deactivate the cards and we must have accidently de magnetized our cards. All 3 cards! Yeah right! When we got home I called to try to get a partial refund and was told to call Expedia. They lied and told Expedia that I booked a 2 bedroom and denied my request and made a big deal that they compensated me with the $60 restaurant coupon. Expedia had my booking right in front of them and didn't even fight for me. This was the first time in 11 years that were able to take a family vacation and our first vacation ever with our grandkids. Our daughter has an illness that limits her ability to travel and we had this small window of time to all be together and our first 2 nights together were taken from us. As much as we paid for this place I expected to get what I paid for and not to be gaslit and treated so poorly. The place was otherwise nice and we would have come back but after this, NOT A CHANCE!

The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. We enjoyed evenings on the balcony overlooking the pool area and stream. This is not the closest thing to the strip but not that far either. I found a barbecue place just minutes away called Danna's which is very hometown and where the locals go, but a definite Branson must! We enjoyed the in-room two person hotel tub and the spaciousness of the larger room. We found there was normally someone waiting when the elevator door opened and that could be a challenge for the in season time. The staff was very helpful and even kept a guitar for us so we could check out and still enjoy a morning music show before heading back home to the STL metro area. I would go 5* but not a huge vacation crowd fan and this place will be jammed in season. So go in the less popular times and enjoy a very high quality stay!

Stayed at Westgate Branson Woods Resort and it's honestly a mixed bag…read more The amenities here are amazing, especially for families. The "Fun House" is a huge win with a rock climbing wall, arcade, and craft area for kids. There's also a full schedule of daily activities, which keeps everyone busy. Between the indoor and outdoor pools, hot tubs, half basketball court, sand volleyball, putt putt, playgrounds, and walking/hiking paths... there is a lot to do. No complaints at all on that side. They also have a restaurant on site along with a marketplace for basics, snacks, and ice cream, which is super convenient. Where it falls short is the rooms. They are very outdated and definitely need some maintenance. Cleanliness was also an issue for me--I ended up cleaning the bathroom myself before using it, which is not something you want to deal with on vacation. For amenities, 5 stars. For rooms and cleanliness, 1 star Overall, great property and amenities, but the rooms need some serious attention to match the rest of the experience.
