I loved my stay at this resort. The staff was friendly, the view of the Wisconsin River was beautiful, and I enjoyed cooking outside on the charcoal grills. My lower-level room in a stand-alone house was comfortable, though you can hear walking/running noise from above units during the day. Once things quiet down at night, it is peaceful. With a little more floor insulation, it would be perfect. Overall, a great place to relax and enjoy the scenery.
Visited in the winter and was lovely. Rooms clean cozy and spacious and winter view of river was very special. Owners and staff were really nice making the stay wonderful. Will definitely return.
We recently came across Cedar Lodge and Settlement, it was my very first but unforgettable experience in Wisconsin Dells. The staff was very friendly and polite, at check in they gave us 2 keys and told us where it was and how to get there easily. They allocated a very cozy room with a jacuzzi for the two of us. This place is very quiet and beautiful. Since it was my unforgettable experience next year I would like to come back here in my room. It was the best place for our vacation!
Absolutely love these small cabins! Stayed 3 nights for my daughter's birthday. We all had a blast! We had a winter stay and the cabin was lit with Christmas lights and our name on the cabin entrance. Really was a great time and management is amazing, very caring and kind people. Will definitely stay again and again!
An Amazing place to vacation! Very nice cabins and an amazing staff! The owner was very accommodating to all our needs! Nice clean pool and property. Walking distance to amazing food and drinks next door! Very nice to have bait shop next to the restaurant. Did some fishing off the pier and shore of Wisconsin River. Beautiful area!
I had a wonderful stay. Angie and the rest of the staff made my stay a breeze. I had the most enjoyable time as the fireplace was perfect on a snowy winter night. The owner Chris was out late putting down salt and clearing the way so guests were safe. The room was super clean and I slept great. As a picky traveler I would definitely stay here again. Thank you!
I was a bit worried about the crowds around labor day at the Dells but Cedar Lodge provides a great balance between nature and proximity to attractions/water park. Had a great time fishing at their pier and hanging out by the river. The riverview rooms are massive, almost like a small cabin. Staff is super friendly and the helped me get a kayak your that was great fun
Beautiful lodge/settlement with a def log cabin feel! The decor in both our rooms was perfect-love everything woodsy and outdoorsy! We loved our rooms and that view was stunning despite the frigid air outside ! Staff was great-friendly and accommodating! Love the area-we will return here! Thank you!
