One of the best parts of a getaway is deciding where to stay. Missouri makes it downright difficult to pinpoint a place, too, with all of its unique accommodations. Once you get a peek at this resort, however, your search will pretty much be over. After all, it's one of the best hotels in Missouri. (Well, actually, it is so much more than a hotel.)

Nestled in the Ozark Mountains, Big Cedar Lodge sprawls across 4,600 acres of breathtaking natural beauty. Since it opened in 1988, it's become a premier destination for family getaways.

You could call Big Cedar Lodge a hotel, but it is so much more, offering a cozy place to sleep in its rustic lodge, or...

Reserve one of the cabins that overlooks Table Rock Lake. Either way, wrap yourself in cozy luxury. All rooms feature a mini fridge and a private bathroom.

Amenities - such as a luxury tub and a balcony - vary depending on the type of lodge room you book.

While you'll probably want to get out and explore Branson, you'll find so many things to do you don't have to leave the grounds your entire stay. Play a round or two of golf, for example.

Amenities include the 50,000-square foot Fun Mountain, which features a bowling alley, laser tag, go-carts, and more.

From paved trails to a board game library, Big Cedar Lodge offers something for everyone.

Summertime means a ton of outdoor fun at the sandy beach, swimming pools, and mini golf course. Explore Table Rock Lake, too, by kayak, canoe, or boat.

However, Big Cedar Lodge is a year-round destination, featuring such fun as ice skating during the colder months.

A prime Missouri destination like Big Cedar Lodge wouldn't be complete without delicious dining options. You'll find a little bit of everything here - from hot dogs at Johnny's Hot Dog Stand to fine dining at Osage Restaurant.

Don't feel like venturing out of your room? No worries. Big Cedar Lodge features room service, or you can even have groceries delivered.

The resort also hosts events throughout the year. Home for the Holidays is the theme for November and December while June through September features the Best Summer Ever.
