Trail Map

*Please use extreme caution when using any tree swings or the zip-line on property, they are not built for users over 200 lbs. Please stay on Cedarwood property (i.e. do not go beyond the trail).

In July 2021 we purchased the North side of Seiler Rd. — if you explore this land, do so with extreme caution, please do not enter any outbuildings on this property under any circumstance. We are not liable for any injuries. Please stay away from the buildings at the corner of Jones and Seiler.

*Good walk from the house — you can walk left leaving the house, and then turn left on the first road (you walk around / through the gates). Even though the road is gated — this is a public road.

Pizza Delivery (first call to confirm because sometimes they will not deliver during the day), they offer good pizza including Gluten Free options. Your address is 250 Seiler Rd. Ridgedale MO, or Cedarwood Farmstead on Google Maps.

Area Church Service

Big Cedar Lodge has a non-denominational service in the Garden Chapel most Sunday mornings. Call to confirm the time in advance at (417) 335-2777

Closest Grocery Store (grocery-esque… real food is available in Hollister, MO @ 200 Southtowne Blvd, Hollister, MO 65672)

Doller General – 950 State Hwy 86, Ridgedale, MO 65739

Closest Liquor Store / Gas Station

Cedar Junction – 1225 Ridgedale Rd, Ridgedale, MO 65739

Local Food / Dinning

Devil’s Pool / Buzzard Bar- 190 Top of the Rock Rd, Ridgedale, MO 65739

Without question, you must eat a meal here… sitting up top is a little more formal, amazing Sunday brunch. Sitting downstairs is more relaxed and you MUST call to see when Clay is playing guitar (he plays most nights, but it gets PACKED so get their early).

**Side note—the best walk in the area is parking in the lot “up top” from this restaurant (i.e. across the draw bridge to the left) and then walking all the way down to the marina and back (map below). Bring your fishing pole.

Log Cabin Café – 769 State Hwy 86, Ridgedale, MO 65739

Very Close, very cheap… breakfast is good, and lunch ok, and for dinner… I’d go elsewhere, like:

Arnie’s Barn –  150 Top of the Rock Rd, Ridgedale, MO 65739

You are required to at least go and see the Top of the Rock… you don’t have to eat there at all, but the most economical option and our personal favorite is Arnie’s Barn. Call Big Cedar to confirm their hours because they are only open 3-4 days a week!

Truman Café – 190 Top of the Rock Road, Ridgedale, MO 65739

Great for coffee in the morning (sit in the back and overlook the lake), or ice cream with a stroll around the public areas of Big Cedar in the evening.

Uncle Buck’s Fishbowl & Grill – 612 Devil’s Pool Rd, Ridgedale, MO 65739

Food is good… but for families this is a 100% must do, no questions asked, no excuses you must do it if you have kids. Bowling, laster tag, ropes course, go carts, etc.

TV

All TVs have access to YouTube TV

Fun Mountain

This place is amazing, and so close to the house makes it something you must do during your stay if you have children! If you don’t have kids you could still enjoy the bar, bowling, pool tables, etc.

Long Creek Marina

This is our favorite Marina as it is owned by Bass Pro, they have a small beach to fish, and boat rentals feature brand new boats with reasonable rates. In the summer months this is a required activity if you didn’t bring your own boat.

Cricket Creek Marina

This Marina isn’t quite as “nice” as Long Creek, but they have a more varied array of rental boats, and have other nice amenities and it is only 15 minutes from the house. Also they have week long rental options

Top of the Rock 

You 100% must go to top of the Rock on your trip, if we find out you stayed here and did not go to the Top of the Rock we will be unhappy.

Top of the Rock Golf Cart Tour

I don’t want to oversell this in saying it is “once in a lifetime” (also we hope you come back)… but it is almost that cool. Go slow, take many pictures, and purchase a cocktail in the only operating bar in NA that is located inside a cave.

Dogwood Canyon

This is my favorite activity in the Spring or Fall when it isn’t blazing hot… you can bring your own bikes or rent them there. The fly fishing is amazing. But my personal favorite is to take the kids to the amazing tree house, and go on a long walk along the river, and then afterwards have a snack and a beer right here (see pic below)…

Golfing

The golfing scene in this area is amazing… here are a few courses you must check out all of these!

The Branson Landing

This has a lot of good shopping, a nice Bass Pro store, great Mexican restaurant that overlooks the fountains (Cantina Laredo), and many other great places to eat. *Note the fountains were produced by the same company that did the Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas and go at the top of the hour every hour.

Spa Services

There is a public spa onsite at Big Cedar (Cedar Creek Spa and Salon), call 1-(800)-225-6343 to make reservations. Directed Hands Massage will make house calls to the Farm House – (417)251-3372

UTV / ATV Rental

You can rent a 2 row UTV for the weekend for appx. 300$ from this company. This price includes delivery. Please use extreme caution if you use a UTV or ATV on our property there are some very steep areas. Please note that we are not liable for injuries.

You can rent a golf cart locally here, they will deliver to the Farmhouse.
