The comfort of a 5-star hotel with the coziness and self-sufficiency of a winter cabin — ‘nuff said.

I absolutely loved this getaway at Cedar Crest Cottages! The layout of all the different cottages were so cute and the landscaping was pleasant. Parking was easy and the location very easy to find. My partner and I loved the fire pit and lounging outside during breakfast on our little porch. Our room was bigger than anticipated, very clean, and had all the amenities. The only thing of note was that we could not find one of the fan remotes which made it a little warm during the evenings. I will 100% be returning and look forward to our next visit!
