Couldn’t have asked for any better. Cottage is well equipped with anything you might need during your stay. The interior lends itself to a calm relaxing atmosphere. Denise even went the extra mile to accommodate my oxygen needs. We will definitely return next summer. So happy that we found this place.

Our family had an excellent stay at the Cedar Cottage. We could have easily spent all summer here! It was very clean and had everything we needed. The hosts go out of their way to make you feel special and cared for. The communication was excellent and the location was a short walk to the beach and restaurants! We especially appreciated being able to use paddle boards, life jackets, beach towels and kayaks. More than enough bath towels and access to the washer and dryer is a huge plus!I definitely recommend these hosts and their cottage! Thanks for an amazing experience.

My husband and I stayed for 4 nights at Cedar Cottage.From the very first communication Denise was wonderful. She responded to emails promptly, made check in a breeze, and was available with suggestions if desired. Including - don’t miss the sunset! The cottage was absolutely pristine, so cozy and comfortable, well equipped, and very well organized. Everything was of a very high standard but with lovely homely touches so it is a very welcoming and relaxing space. Extra points for the Brown Betty teapot! Generous touches such as wine in the fridge and a gift certificate were appreciated.The outside space was lovely, perfectly maintained with lots of different sitting areas and only a few steps to the beach.We loved our time at Cedar Cottage, wholeheartedly recommend it and look forward to a return visit with family. Thank you, Sue and Tim.

Our stay at Cedar Cottage in Sylvan Lake was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The cottage was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything and more that we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway.The location was perfect— close to the lake (1/2 block), local shops, and restaurants, while still being peaceful and quiet. We loved spending our mornings with coffee on the deck and making smores in the fire pit at night. The hosts were exceptional—friendly, responsive, and thoughtful, making sure every detail was taken care of. Their hospitality truly made our stay even more enjoyable.If you're looking for a cozy, well-maintained, and welcoming place to stay in Sylvan Lake, Cedar Cottage is the perfect choice. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and can't wait to come back. Highly recommend!

Lovely Cottage Close to the Beach

Our stay was excellent, the cottage had everything we needed. We loved the outdoor space to relax with a coffee in the morning and to visit in the evenings. Thank you for a lovely weekend away.

What a gorgeous cottage. It was perfect for our needs. It was spotless, warm and cozy. We did all our own cooking and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Denise provided excellent instructions and directions. Communication from booking to check-out was prompt and helpful.I would highly recommend this place. We were sad to leave and hope to go back again.
