Knotty Pine Cottage With Fireplace

The cottage has windows that frame lake-facing views over the Ozarks setting of Big Cedar Lodge, which sits on 4,600 acres overlooking Table Rock Lake. The room is set up as a quiet, private retreat for two.

Yes. The cottage has a working fireplace, along with heating and air conditioning, so you can stay comfortable in the cooler Ozarks months and in summer. Winter highs in the area average around 58°F in November, which makes the fireplace especially welcome.

Yes. The cottage has a coffee/tea maker, mini-fridge and microwave. Limited-hours room service and optional champagne service are also available. Big Cedar Lodge also has several on-property restaurants, including Devil's Pool, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, and Truman Cafe & Custard, which is open daily for breakfast and lunch and serves ice cream.

Beyond the room itself, you get free WiFi (50+ Mbps), free local calls, daily housekeeping and turndown service. Big Cedar Lodge charges a mandatory resort fee of USD 50 per accommodation per night. It covers parking, pool access, fitness center access, fitness and yoga classes, in-room coffee and shuttle service.

Registered guests can use the resort's seasonal pools, such as the Swimmin' Hole and Devil's Pool Hot Tub & Pool, both open 10AM–10PM when the weather allows. Wristbands are required, there are no lifeguards, and children must be with an adult. For something more private, in-room massage is available. Cedar Creek Spa & Salon is open to guests aged 16 and over for spa services.

Check-in starts at 4:00 PM and check-out is before 11:00 AM, with late check-out fees applying. The front desk is open 24 hours. Guests must be 21 or older to check in, except active-duty military, who may check in at 18. Bring a government-issued photo ID and a card in the name of the primary reservation holder.

Branson Airport (BKG) is the closest airport, about 15–20 minutes away. Springfield-Branson National Airport (SGF) has year-round service and is roughly an hour's drive north. Most guests arrive by car, and parking is included in the resort fee. Standard accommodations at Big Cedar Lodge are nonsmoking and pets are not allowed, though service animals are welcome.

The cottage has a private bathroom with a shower, stocked with bathrobes, shampoo, soap and other free toiletries, plus a hair dryer and fresh towels. It's a compact, well-appointed setup suited to the cottage's cozy, intimate scale.

This cottage is built for two guests, with a single king bed and no rollaway bed or crib available, so it works best for couples or solo travelers looking for a quiet, private retreat with a working fireplace rather than a family looking to share a room.

At 290 sq. ft., this cottage is an intimate, one-bedroom escape — smaller and more private than the Lodge's larger suites, with its own fireplace as the signature feature. It still sits within the main Big Cedar Lodge grounds, so you're close to the resort's seasonal pools, Cedar Creek Spa, and on-site restaurants like Devil's Pool and Truman Cafe & Custard, while enjoying a more secluded cottage setting.
