“Great place for a family reunion”

Reviewed May 18, 2013 NEW

We rented two cabins for a family reunion weekend. They were beautiful and clean. We took full advantage of both the well equipped kitchen and the outdoor grill. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms were very nice. We especially enjoyed walking around the beautiful grounds in the early morning. We enjoyed every minute and look forward coming back.

“Stress relief on the Cedar”

Reviewed February 25, 2013

The lodging was extraordinary--from the custom-made furniture to the cleanliness of the cabin and how well appointed it was! We found the trail along the river well-suited for snowshoeing and liked the special effects of the frog and tin man! The deer wandered freely in the trees and during the night a barn owl let us know he was watching.... More

Marknfamily, Thank you so much for the review! We're glad you enjoyed the comfort, relaxation and the cleanliness of Eagle's Nest cabin! We've tried hard to make certain the water softeners in each cabin are full of salt to neutralize the well water odor but sometimes the salt needs replenished.

“New Year's Family Holiday”

Reviewed January 1, 2013

The accommodations were terrific...clean, complete kitchen, well-outfitted, and wonderful views of the river and the great outdoors. The deer were our neighbors, the hiking and ski trails groomed, and the general condition of the property was natural and obviously cared for by the owners. You will not be disappointed!!

Happy New Year! We're happy that your family enjoyed so many things we love too! The river, trails, grounds and cleanliness are all important to us. The deer are an added treat too and we never tire of seeing these beautiful animals. We hope you'll be back during kayak season to try a float down the Cedar River! Best Wishes... More

“Corporate Retreat”

Reviewed November 23, 2012

The Red Cedar Lodge is a favorite destination for our Corporate retreats. The rustic setting is perfect stage for strategy meetings. It is close for all our executives to meet there, yet removed from town so we can easily focus on planning.

Thank you so much Penny for the nice review! We're so pleased you enjoyed your retreat and meeting in the comfort of your cabin. Your small group was the perfect size to utilize the space and furnishings. We hope everyone left feeling refreshed ~ even after a day's worth of work! Best Wishes, Tom and Lorraine Winterink More
