Home includes the use of a free pontoon boat w/10 gal free fuel, (Memorial week til Mid October), Floating Aqua-Play-Mat (Memorial Week thru Labor Day Week), kayaks (May 1st til Nov 1st), row boat (April 1st til Nov 15th), and a full dock with room for your boat (Mid-May til Nov 1st).
Year round means off-season discount rates and shorter stays! Weekend vacations in Michigan during fall, winter, and spring offer a great value too. The breathtaking fall colors, festivals, hike trails, lake or stream fishing lead right into winter where you can cross country ski and snowmobile right from the Cedar Lake Lodge.
Who comes to the Lodge? Couples or groups up to 10 come to enjoy the private frontage on Cedar Lake and watch wildlife roam through the yard. Guest always spend time exploring away from the lodge too: Glen Arbor and Old Mission are must-sees.

Reviews
We had a lot of fun on our vacation. We went to Sleeping Bear Dunes; swam every day at the cabin; caught fish every day. We had 10 adults and 8 children and it was fun for everyone. Lilly from Texas
The Cedar Lake Lodge was a wonderful place to stay. All the different colors of the trees in the fall make it even prettier. We had a great time and hope to do it again in the summer so we can swim. Lyndsey R.
The Lodge was home base for our fall wine tour. The lake and the woods are beautiful. We had peak fall colors and perfect weather. We look forward to another visit. We took a few dips in the water even though it was October - pleasurable stay. Tim and Mary (guest book)
