“Perfect place for a family, couple or group of friends.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 12, 2012

We stayed in unit 28 , "The Rats". This cabin is fully loaded. It had 4 queen beds, one in each of the two bedrooms and two in the sleeping loft. There were two full bathrooms and an eat in kitchen with a refrigerator, stove, oven, pots and pans the works. Just bring your food! The living room has a large comfortable couch with a large TV and a fireplace. The sleeping loft, which my kids just loved, also had a TV and plenty of room to play! The cabin had a large porch were you can have meals and a BBQ for grilling. It was located in a quite area that was just beautiful and within walking distance (2 minute walk) to a lake. There were many things nearby including several indoor water parks (I recommend the Chula Vista indoor park if you have little ones). We were traveling with our family of four (2 adults and 2 kids) and another couple. We had more than enough space. This cabin would be great for a family with multiple kids or extended family but would also be the perfect place for a romantic getaway. It is finished nicely inside, with wood beams and region themed accessories that add charm. One of the most enjoyable and relaxing destinations I have been to in a long time. Can't wait to go back! I should note that we went in the off season and found plenty to do.

Room Tip: Not all Cabins are the same. They have different ammenities. #28 is tops!

Thanks for the nice detailed review. Glad to know cabin #28 had all the amenities and space to make your family comfortable. The resort is peaceful and relaxing during all seasons of the year. The Dells is becoming a year round place of activities. Your right there is plenty of things to do in the off season and Chula Vista’s water park is perfect for the little ones. We can’t wait for you to come back too. Chris-

“Great Family Getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 10, 2012

This is the second stay we had at Cedar Lodge....once was 11 years ago, most recent was this past weekend! We were pleasantly surprised with the friendly staff, our cabin was nicely refreshed and very clean and you cannot beat the location! We have been visiting the Dells for over 30 years, and this location is close enough to the "action", but far enough away to feel as though you are in a secluded area of the Wisconsin woods. Our 3 children enjoyed walking to the local dock for fishing (we caught many sunfish and bass), the s'mores bonfire every evening and watching the Wisconsin Ducks drive right past our cabin numerous times throughout our stay! We highly recommend it to everyone!

Room Tip: We stayed in cabin #30, it was well worth missing out on the lake view...this kids loved the upstair...

“great getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 9, 2012

when you need to just take that time away with the family, this is a great place to chill out. Service with a smile and great value for the dollar. Will most likely say here when we return. Even gave a hook up for the RV which doesn't go un noticed

“Great End of Summer Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 2, 2012

My family and I were visiting my sister in Chicago and decided to go up to the Dells as the kids love water parks. We stayed at Cedar Lodge and it was great. It is right on the river where there is a beach and park. We stayed in one of the cabins, #28 "The Rats", and everyone loved it. This traditional homey log cabin has it all. The kids loved sleeping up in the loft.We prepared dinner in the fully equipped kitchen and enjoyed the meal while watching the setting sun on the front porch. I even got to watch a little football on the large TV in the living room. Cedar Lodge was quiet and relaxing. We definitely plan to come back!

Thank you for the nice review. Glad you and your family decided to take a trip to the Dells. Cabin #28 is a really nice cabin. Like you wrote, “Traditional and homey”. We’re happy to know everyone loved their time here. The loft in the cabin is a fun space for kids when on vacation. #28 has everything you need for a family getaway. Again thank you and we will see you again next time. Chris-

“Perfect romantic getaway for a couple”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 30, 2012

My husband and I stayed in one of the whirlpool suites for our honeymoon in June. We found Cedar Lodge thanks to it's already high rating on TripAdvisor. The staff was super friendly and very helpful offering ideas for the neat things that are usually missed when just looking through the main tourist attraction books, like Witches Gulch, and telling us about local restaurants that had great food. It was close enough to the main attractions, but far enough away that you really felt like you were getting away from it all. It was very quiet and relaxing. The guestbook in the suite is a neat touch...it's fun reading the stories (and warnings/recommendations about local businesses) of others who stayed there. The mattress could be a little bit more comfortable, but that was my only concern. We liked it so much that we're heading back in December for our 6 month anniversary.
