About this property

A family bed and breakfast without the host!

NOT YOUR AVERAGE RENTAL! Wildlife, relaxation, comfortable furnishings, TV with DVD player, lots of movies, stereo with a wide variety of CDs, WiFi, lots of books and games, and many extras to make your stay special. Cedar Lodge does not provide cable or dish service, and there is no TV reception on the mountain. We also do not have A/C, just like 98% of the cabins on the mountain, as it is so rarely needed. We do provide fans in the summer and when you leave the windows open overnight, it cools the cabin off and can be down right chilly by morning! We cater to families, yet pamper like a bed & breakfast! It is recommended that you have chains or 4WD during the winter months. Not always needed, but it's better to be prepared. I've had people write and ask if 4WD or chains are needed to access the cabin. 98% of the time, no, but if we get a big storm on the day you're scheduled to arrive, you may wish you had one or the other. If you're into geocaching, there are LOTS of great sites nearby! For our protection and yours, there is a security camera on the side exterior aimed at the driveway/deck stairs, and another on the back of the cabin, aimed at the backdoor.

Cedar Lodge sleeps 8 with three bedrooms and one bath - two bedrooms upstairs and one down. Each bedroom has a queen-size bed, with an electric blanket (fall/winter, only) and quilt or comforter, to keep the chill away. One bedroom has both a queen and twin bed. A second twin bed is located in the alcove between the two bedrooms. All bed linens are provided and all are line-dried in fresh air and sunshine. We do not allow smoking inside or out, and we do not allow pets. Fire restrictions are usually high, but you may always use the propane grill on the deck.

Cedar Lodge boasts a large kitchen that opens up into the living area. The kitchen comes with a full size stove and refrigerator, microwave, toaster/convection oven, toaster, and coffee pot, and is fully stocked with dishes, cookware and crock pots, as well as a Weber gas grill on the deck. We also provide filtered drinking water, fresh ground coffee (both regular & decaf), hot cocoa, specialty teas, pancake mix and syrup, and a variety of instant oatmeal. And just in case you get the urge to cook or bake, we have a well-stocked spice cupboard, as well as flour and sugar.

For those families with babies, we provide a portacrib with bumper, mattress pads, and sheets (multiples of both, in case of accidents), high chair, booster seat, Bumbo seat, and baby jumper. Cleanliness is very important to us, so we try our best to make sure everything is as clean as possible, especially all baby items.

In the bath, we treat you to quality handmade soap and lotion from Thymeless Bath & Oils, which will leave you feeling and smelling wonderful. Our bath comes stocked with a blow dryer, curling iron and a flat iron.

Cedar Lodge invites you to relax and leave the hectic city life behind. Our living area includes a large comfortable couch and chairs to curl up in and watch the fire. An antique writing desk is a good spot to catch up on correspondence or you can just relax in the rocking chair with a good book. Heat is available from the wood stove or furnace.

An ample deck provides the perfect spot to watch the hummingbirds up close. There is a wide variety of wildlife around Cedar Lodge, and we frequently spot deer (and occasionally, elk) around the cabin.

At Cedar Lodge, the summer daytime highs can be anywhere from 50 to 80 degrees with the overnight lows around 45 to 60, so bring a sweater or light jacket. Winter daytime highs can range from 20 to 50, with overnight lows very cold, so you'll definitely need a warm jacket!

Spring Break 2024
The cabin had everything we needed for a fun weekend. The cabin is clean and cozy and offers so many amenities like coffee, pancake mix well stocked spice cabinet and filtered water. We enjoyed playing board games on the big table and sitting by the fireplace. We are looking forward to our next stay.

Great getaway!
The cabin was perfect for our family! All the extras and stocked kitchen was a plus. The baby bed and other items were nice! Less we had to bring. All of us really enjoyed our time there! Lisa was quick to respond to anything we needed. Thank you!

Wonderful place to stay!
We were overly impressed with this property. It's even better than the pictures and description in the listing. The cabin was stocked with everything you can imagine and more making it the perfect place to stay for a weekend getaway or extended vacation. Since it was just the two of us we had tons of space and just stayed in the bedroom on the first floor, But the upstairs space can easily accommodate up to 6 more, making this the perfect place for families of any size or even two couples/small families vacationing together. Lisa was attentive and on time with all communication prior to and during our stay. We can't wait to go back and stay here again!

Clean, accessible, comfortable house. Had no issues or problems at all. We actually left behind a roku remote, the owner actually found it and mailed to me. Would recommend for a nice getaway for families.
