A lush 75 acres alongside Blackstrap Lake surrounds Cedar Lodge, a sanctuary suited to complement natural majesty with its own rustic charm, hearty meals, and comfortable guest rooms. Comfy double rooms offer repose after walks on the beach or long, contemplative gazes onto the lake from the property’s wraparound porch. A “food decorator” upgrades buffet-style meals into artful masterpieces for colourful consumption in the airy Great Room, a regal dining space marked by a 50-foot cathedral ceiling and an inconvenient ceiling fan. Amenities, such as an exercise facility and nine-hole golf course across the lake, keep guests entertained in between extended sighs of relief and smiling peacefully into the mirror.
