Everything was great. The heater was broken and it was cold Friday night but the owners did what they could with extra space heaters to try and keep the place as warm as possible in light of missing replacement parts. I was dealing with the same issue with my own heater at home and understand the frustrations. They were accommodating when I needed to return because of something I left behind. Very cute home!

The home is beautifully designed and incredibly well maintained, with a character that sets it apart from anything else I’ve seen. Nestled in a peaceful, charming neighborhood, it offered the perfect blend of comfort and charm.

Graduation gee away

Plenty of linens and cooking utensils. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I do not recommend staying there if you have balance and walking issues. The house is beautiful and transports you back in time. Love the western theme. The hot tub would’ve been greatly appreciated after our travel from Fla.

Thanks for choosing the Cedar House Sandra and we are so very pleased y'all enjoyed your stay! Yes, as it is a pier and beam, two-story home, there are multiple steps both inside and outside at each entry. So, we don't disagree with your comments about those with balance and/or walking issues. While we do have adequate handrails, etc., the steps could potentially be problematic for someone with balance issues and/or vastly limited mobility. Thanks again!

Classy, Country, and Cool!This is the only place you should stay in Huntsville! The property is amazing, comfortable, cute, extremely equipped, and perfect for pups (fully fenced yard)! The hosts have curated a nostalgic, classic, country-themed home where every object contributes to your comfort. The hosts are classy, responsive, thoughtful, and accomodating. From the homemade cookies, to trusting guests with their record collection and player- every detail has been perfected for your relaxing stay. We didn’t want to leave!
