My family & I had a terrific time. This home is clean, beautiful and just as pictured. We couldn't have asked for a better setting, and there are plenty of little 'extras' that the owner provides. I want to thank Drew for his hospitality and ease of communications. They don't get much better than this!
Drew was great to work with and the house was clean, relaxing, and amazing. It was right on the water and there were many amenities. I would recommend this rental to anyone staying in Cedar Lake.
Our family had an AMAZING time. Everything from space, clean rooms, accommodations, and the beautiful lake. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend. Thank you Drew!
Property is gorgeous. Lake is beautiful. Lots of restaurants nearby and close to the Lighthouse (Wedding venue). Parking is a bit limited and there are quite a few stairs to the entrance, but could not be more happy with the experience.
The Cedar Lake Escape exceeded our expectations--offering a quiet retreat with a fantastic view!! Our large family was very comfortable, with plenty of space to spread out or be together. We enjoyed the firepit and the large selection of games provided, as well as a well stocked kitchen and very comfortable beds. Drew was a great host, he communicated thoroughly and responded promptly to messages. We will definitely stay here again when we return to the area.
Exactly as pictured. The only reason we rated it a 4 was it feels very intrusive here. They're are cameras everywhere and the ownders house is connected. . It's just odd to have to share the whole middle section. had no problems but i feel like if another family was over there it would have been super awkward. So like i said it was and is a great place if you dint mind sharing space and being monitored with cameras all over.
