Brought back memories of my childhood travels.

We were moving up from San Diego to Portland and decided to break up the drive over a series of days to minimize the stress on ourselves and our cat. The Cedar Lake Lodge was a great spot to rest for the night. We arrived around 5pm and quickly checked in. I fell in love with the serenity of my surroundings and the overall ambience reminded me of the hotels/motels of my childhood. The fact that they still have actual keys for their doors instead of key cards was enough to get me excited. The room was extremely clean and despite there being two beds, it was spacious enough for three grown people to move around with ease. The staff was helpful when it came to finding a local restaurant to eat at (Penny's Diner is open 24 hours and their staff was awesome!)! Highly recommend this place if you are wanting peace and quiet and a trip down memory lane!

These little lodges were quaint but not great. The shower in the room was not accomodating for someone my size, 6 ft 250, i could barely wash myself without hitting an elbow on a wall. The beds were small and no air conditioner. The old key lock locks behind you so bring your key out to your car. The setting is bery nice but tye walls are thin and we could hear the children next door crying and screaming. For the price, yes labor day weekend, but not worth it.

Definately an older property, but it got the job done. The front desk staff that greated me gave some great advice about trails and was very friendly. It can be hard to travel with a larger family and it was nice that there were ample beds and privacy (we were in a suite). Super close to hiking trails and waterfalls. Lots of lakes and other small towns, such as Mt. Shasta, nearby.

When I first drove up to the property and I thought oh no. It looks very old and somewhat unkempt. Inside the room was nice though. Very clean and good lighting. Unfortunately there is a bed frame below the mattress that has a very sharp edge on it and I cut my leg open on it.
