Cedar Lodge Sharing Their Dream

ife can be hectic; with today’s corporations and physicians stressing the healthy work-life balance, where is your happy place? To many, their R & R is a trip to the breathtaking Rocky Mountains in Colorado or the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. But that requires vacation days and travel expenses, not to mention six or seven days away from the office, and it is not likely that many can take a weekend getaway to these two destinations by automobile. But what if it was possible to take a road trip to the Rockies for a weekend with limited time in the car – even from Arkansas, Missouri or Oklahoma? Welcome to Cedar Lodge. Take one step into this masterpiece created by cedar and stone and this breathtaking, eye-popping 7,600-square-foot estate in Bella Vista, Arkansas, will trick your mind into thinking you are indeed tucked in the Ponderosa Pines of Colorado. You may not catch a glimpse of Pikes Peak or Rocky Mountain National Park out the back windows, but you are guaranteed to see panoramic views of Lake Loch Lomond, Bella Vista’s largest water-sport and fishing lake. The seven-bedroom, four full-bath lakefront chateau will sleep 21 people in 13 beds, making it the perfect solution for a wedding party, family reunion, golf-group getaway, company retreat or corporate day-trip. Large gatherings are what owners Dr. Dave and Sandra Berry had in mind when they decided to share the lodge with others. “We wanted a place that would accommodate both sides of our families,” Sandra Berry said. “When we all get together we can have 40 to 50 people here. We thought it was time to share it with others, so they can enjoy it as well.” www.2njoymag.com
