We couldn't ask for anything more! The house was gorgeous and came with a pontoon boat. The lake is very secluded and private. All in all, it was an excellent experience.

Winter in Traverse City

This was our family's first winter vacation and our stay at the Cedar Lake lodge/cabin was perfect. The cabin was great for the 8 of us - all adults. Plenty of space to relax and enjoy the beautiful view of the snowfall and lake. A bit of a drive to Shanty Creek ski resort but still worth it. Traverse City is a very picturesque city especially with the Christmas lights adorning buildings and homes. We are thinking that a summer vacation would be just as fun and would book this cabin in a heartbeat!

This was our first winter cabin experience.  Truly it's a beautiful lodge/cabin!  Our children are all teens and we went on our first snowmobilind ride.  It was an experience of a lifetime for our family that we are not soon to forget.  I would do it all again.   We were all packed to go and decided we would be back.  Maybe we'll try summer next.

We had a fantastic week here at Cedar Lake.  We are three families with 2 children each.  The kids had a blast fishing (the biggest fish we cought was a 14.5" bass).  They also loved swimming and jumping on the trampolis.  We enjoyed barbequing and sitting around the bonfire.  We took a day trip to Petosky and Mission Point for a day at the beaches.  We were also lucky enough to hit the sidewalk sales in dowtown Traverse City.  Each day brought us lots of laughs and memories.  We will always remember the special times with such special friends here at Cedar Lake.

A DREAMY SPOT TO STAY

Three couples stayed May 2011 for a weekend and it was wonderful. We had everything we needed, found the place with a GPS with no problem. We were most impressed with how clean it was. We caught tons of fish and totally enjoyed ourselves, we are planning a trip this fall and again next spring. If it would have had a sandy beach area I would have rented during he summer and brought my kids and grand kids up. We had dinner at a little french restaurant in Maple City fabulous! and we love Boones in Suttons Bay. the only reason i wouldn't recommend this wonderful place is because i would love for it to be available when i want it. enjoy.

Ultimate Peace and Quiet, yet close to the action

My husband and I and our two Miniature Schnauzers stayed at the Lodge for 5 days.in September. It was a wonderful experience for all of us. The peace and quiet were palpable--we found ourselves whispering when we went outside! The Lodge has the perfect blend of rustic log cabin and modern amenities. We wanted for nothing! The pictures provided are only a hint of what this property has to offer. We enjoyed the proximity of Traverse City and all that it has to offer, also. We ate at Boone's Long Lake Inn and it was a great experience. The portions are huge, so be prepared to bring half of your dinners "home". We toured the Old Mission Peninsula and did the wine tours. We found the Chateau Grand Traverse to be the friendliest and most helpful of the wineries we visited. They were most gracious. We had hoped to go out on the Tall Ship Manitou, but were informed that it was past the season for the two-hour tours--only 4-day overnighters available. Be sure to stop at the Moomers Ice Cream store for a fabulous treat. They have a large variety of flavors and toppings. Stop at the Grand Traverse Pie Company in TC for the best pies. I had the Lakeshore Berry pie which had apples, strawberries, bluberries, and raspberries in it. So delicious! If you are a lighthouse fan, be sure to stop at the Point Betsie Light on the way to Sleeping Bear Dunes State Park, and the Old Mission Light at the end of the Mission Peninsula. Our stay at the Lodge was the first time we have rented a private property for a vacation. We're spoiled now by the hominess, cleanliness, and ambience of this Lodge. We would definitely recommend this home to anyone for a vacation experience they will not forget. Thanks to the owners for sharing this great home.
