This little house was perfect for my husband and I. The house was overall very clean. Bed was comfortable, but a little small for my husband. Shower was very nice. Hot tub was a bonus after hiking all day too. We would definitely recommend this stay to others and would stay again ourselves.

Loved the location of this house! We were out of the city, but close enough to see all of the things and attend the Cherry Festival. The hot tub and fire pit were both nice to come back to after a few long days in the sun. Definitely will be back again!

Amazing!

We came from 4hrs hours away and stayed here from July 16-July 20. I can definitely say that this house was amazing from checking in with Melissa to checking out! This house is very clean, quiet, cozy, and close to a lot of different places. They also have a hot tub to relax in after a long day out and a fire pit in the back! I would highly recommend this house! We definitely enjoyed our stay and Melissa is an amazing host!

Worked great for us!

Nice property. Great for what we needed. Close to enough things but still enough out. Lots of great family activities to do near by. Beaches, hiking, festivals and fishing. We loved the area. Only cons were that the property is next to an auto repair business and smaller then expected but since we spent very little time there it didn't matter to us much.

This place is so adorable! Its so clean and in a great location!

I immediately walked in and noticed how clean this place is. It smelled fresh and was absolutely adorable! The bed is so comfy and I slept great. The hot tub was wonderful. There is plenty of dishes to prepare nice meals with. The bathroom is so modern and the shower is very unique, I love it. I did not need the host, Melissa, but I know she was available if I needed her. I sent a text to let her know I was leaving and she responded within just a few minutes. I'm confident that she is a very responsive host. 10 out of 10 recommended this place!

Great little cottage

Our stay at The Little Cedar was great. It's as pictured, extremely clean, and very comfortable. We loved having the hot tub to relax in at night, and the location was peaceful. The only thing I would mention is that the bed was less supportive than we're used to, so it was a little hard on our backs. We stayed for two nights, but if we would have stayed for longer, we would have had more of an issue with the mattress. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if something brought us to the area for a short stay again though.

Quiet, Comfortable Getaway

We enjoyed our stay immensely. The place was clean, comfortable and had all the right amenities. The location is ideal for our favorite activities of hiking and sampling breweries. Melissa was always quick to respond and offered great suggestions. We are already thinking about our next trip!
