This might be our favorite review yet. 🥰❤️

A 4 year old guest checked out today and apparently wasn’t quite ready to go…

“I want to stay here forever.”

We totally understand. 😄

Come back soon, little buddy!

🔊 🌲 NEW walking path...

We recently added a walking path through the woods along the Root River!
It's a great spot to stretch your legs, enjoy the shade, listen to the river, and take in the quiet beauty of the valley. Whether you're here for a weekend getaway, family reunion, retreat, or bike trip, it's one more place to slow down and enjoy the outdoors.

We loved hosting First Free Church for their annual Staff Retreat! They played games, pickleball and disc golf, went kayaking, and enjoyed time resting and connecting with their team. Paddle On Coffee brought over their Coffee Bike to start the morning with fun coffee drinks. We created a customized Family Feud game for them that brought many laughs and good competition among their group!

Are you looking for a location to rest and grow with your staff, team, life group, ministry, family, or friends? Connect with us to see how we can help you plan your next retreat!

🚴‍♂️ One of the best bike trails in the Midwest… runs right through our backyard.

The Root River State Trail is featured in the Chicago Sun Times alongside some of the top rail to trail rides in this recent article and it just so happens to pass directly through Cedar Valley Resort.

Miles of scenic riding, limestone bluffs, winding river views… and you can step out of your cabin and be on the trail in seconds. 😎
