This property is three miles west from the main property and has no services. Check in, pool, restaurant is 3 miles away at the main lodge area. Right on the highway by not too noisy. The air conditioner was finicky, thank goodness for the ceiling fan as it was 100 degrees out. Our room was clean, but furnishings were old. WiFi didn’t work, and no cell service in the canyon. I would choose the main Cedar Lodge location to stay at.

First off, I want to say I never do reviews but I had to do this to protect others. There were ants everywhere. They were all over the shower. We had to wash the tub before we could take a shower. There were dead ants on the bottom of our feet. There were black spots on the ceiling. When we pulled out one of the wash clothes, it had a brown stain. In the other room that we had for the night, the AC sounded like there was a shoe in the dryer being knocked around the whole night. The coffee maker also did not work. When we told the staff they said the manager would call us. I have now waited three days and have received no response. Don’t stay here! I still can’t believe I paid over $200 per room for this place.

A little pricey, but the room was great with a kitchenette and stocked with dishes, utensils, coffee. Market for provisions about 12 miles up the road. For the price, slightly above average value.

Beautiful room (large), cool and comfortable (it was hot outside). Staff was receptive to our needs.
Couple of things to note: restaurant options are v limited (have to drive 30 mins).
office is 2 miles away
