The Cedars Country Cottage is a gem. We had a very pleasant stay. A lot of space, nicely furnished and equipped with everything needed for a longer stay. And away from any major roads or traffic. Surrounded by cedars with far away views all the way to the Rockies. Very convenient for trips to the Monument Valley, Valley of the Gods, etc. Highly recommended!

Stay in Blanding

This was a perfect spot to launch our Southeast Utah adventure. I was a little nervous about cooking with the swamp cooler, but it worked out just fine. Home had everything we needed to have a great time with our three children. Master shower was fantastic with duel shower heads and was perfect after a long day of dusty hiking and being outside. This was a great stay

Great secluded cabin with beautiful views!

We loved our stay at this sweet cabin tucked in the cedars! Even though it is quite close to town, we felt like the location was very private. The star gazing was incredible! The beds were comfy! The heated tile floors and shower in the master bath were a special treat! Communication with our hosts was great!

Great out of town property

This was just outside of town, which gave it a nice country feel, but yet was very convenient to the area attractions. I loved the binder with suggested destinations, and we actually changed out itenerary based on our find there. House was huge, well equipped, and comfortable.

Very well equipped home. The effort made by the owners to put together a top-notch visitor’s book was much appreciated. And there are many other little touches that made this place special. I really wish we could have used the fire pit, but there was too big a fire risk due to drought. The only thing that might put some people off is the layout. The living room is upstairs, so when you get your morning coffee, you have to climb the stairs to have a comfortable place to sit.
