  • Bluegreen Wilderness Club at Big Cedar... Simply the BEST

    We arrived at the Bluegreen Wilderness Club at Big Cedar last night and we were simply blown away by this resort. It my short time in timesharing, this is simply the single best resort I have experienced.

    We are currently in a 3 bedroom cabin that stacks up nicely against the 3 bedroom units at the Disney Wilderness Lodge.... only this actually IS in the wilderness and there are mountains here. My entire family agrees with my number 1 ranking. When I asked my oldest son why he rated this his favorite, he said, "it's 2 stories, enough said." Needless to say, my two oldest children slept up there last night.

    The 3 bedroom cabin has 2 bedrooms on the first floor and a 3rd that is accessible via a stair case in the entry foyer. It has a real wood burning fireplace with logs on the front porch. There are 20 foot ceilings and stuffed animals everywhere including a 5 and 6 point deer head, a raccoon, a pheasant and much more.

    There are snacks and drinks that were included in the refrigerator. Very unusual. The deck in the back has it's own private grill, adirondack style rocking chairs, modern appliances and jacuzzi's, great beds and complete log cabin decor. I have already taken a ton of pictures, but I am going to take more today. Wait until you see them. The only thing this place needs is high speed internet and a view of the lake. I am right next to the lake, but the trees are in the way and we can't see them.

    The clubhouse has some excellent pools and a very good lazy river with waterfalls and water slides. Excellently located jacuzzi.

    There is a full marina with lots of boating activities. I think we will be renting a boat for the day.

    Last night, we ate at the Worman house. Great steakhouse with spectacular view of the lake and marina. This place is for me. I want to own here. Oh wait, I already do. That's great. Need to book this place for a week next summer. Now I know why nobody has ever seen one of these in RCI. Why would anyone want to deposit this week. It's a guaranteed trade down by doing so. Even trading into the Disney Wilderness Lodge is a trade down in my book.

    If anyone knows of a better resort than this one, please let me know what it is because I want to go there, too.

        Patience friends. The pictures will be here soon. This place is so secluded that I don't even have cell coverage in my cabin. So, I can't even access the internet via my GSM modem. So, I am online via dial up.

          That's wonderful Boca! How in the world were you lucky enough to get a 3BR cabin in the middle of summer?

          If you get a chance to go over to Dogwood Canyon, it's worth the few miles drive.

            I knew you would love it there! We got to stay at the 3-bedroom for the 4th of July this year! Can you believe I was able to get bonus time at the 3bedroom cabin! I was checking BG's webiste numerous times throughout the day and couldn't believe it when I found it. It was fantastic and we could see the fireworks display right from the deck! It was awsome!

            Don't you love the cookies they bring to you at night? Out kids couldn't wait to see the cookie lady come around! What a treat!

              We got bonus time, too. Bonus time ROCKS!!!!

              The secret is to book the single nights. I think they are almost always available. Pain to have to move rooms and you pay a bit more. But, it's worth it.

                Boca,

                Sorry, I'll sit down and be quiet until you get back to high speed internet land. (But please hurry!).

                      BTW, I'm still keeping track of how many times you annoy me.

                        Now I really am sorry we are not home!!!!!

                        You did not say you would be at Big Cedar, you dirty ratfink!

                        Yeah, it's a wonderful place. That's just what we've been trying to tell folks. We have been to a lot of places in our 92 exchanges, and when a new BCWC member family and Jenny and I were sitting on the terrace at the Devil's Pool restaurant the summer before last, and he asked me what they can expect when they start exchanging, I said, "It will never be better than this!"

                        Sure, other places fill other niches, but nothing, anywhere does lake resort better than this.

                        Sorry you can't see the lake. From the lakefront lot we just bought where we are going to build, we can't see the lake either~~~now~~~but we know it's there, and we know no one is around us!

                        If you happen to be staying another day, we are heading back home tonight, probably getting there in the wee hours.

                          Big Cedar is the best! Shhhh

                          This is our home resort and we love it. We have a summer week and also were able to get some bonus time over the 4th. We agree with Boca, it is simply the best. Enjoy your trip to our neck of the woods (literally)!

                            Hey Jim,

                            Thanks for the pictures. Big Cedar looks great! I'm glad you're continuing to have fun on your westward trek. It's awesome getting to check out so many timeshares back to back.

                            I'm interested that you put Big Cedar number 1 at the top of your list. I remember when you stayed at Hyatt's Coconut Plantation in Florida and really liked that as well. Where would the Hyatt rank on your list now?

                              Beautiful country and what a nice place with a great pool with trees around it. What State are you in? This country is so beautiful at so many different places. It would be nice to see it all.

                              Keep enjoying your vacation to the west coast.
