What a joy to read this — thank you so much! We love knowing the kitchen and laundry hit the mark, and that you got to enjoy some cozy evenings around the fire ring (one of our favorite things about The Cedars). That upstairs retreat is such a special little corner of the cottage, and we're glad it gave you the perfect spot to unwind. We can't wait to welcome you back to your home away from home in canyon country!

Roomy, clean, secluded, beautiful. This was wonderful for our family of 4 adults. We loved the full kitchen and two bathrooms. Having the kitchen enabled us to get forever in town. We didn’t get to use there out due to rain. We originally had 6 in our party and would have comfortably fit all of us. The location was nice for us as we explored The Needles of Canyonlands and down to Monument Valley. We will keep this in mind for future visits and will recommend it to others!

What a wonderful group to have staying at The Cedars Country Cottage — thank you so much for sharing this! We're so glad the space felt roomy and comfortable for your four adults, and that the full kitchen and two bathrooms made your stay feel like a true home base between adventures. The Needles District and Monument Valley are two of our absolute favorites in the region, so it sounds like you made the most of every mile out there. We're sorry the rain kept you from the outdoor spaces this time around — that just means there's something extra to look forward to on your next visit! We'd love to host all of you next time, and we'll be ready to welcome you back whenever the canyon calls again.

The Cedars Country Cottage is a gem. We had a very pleasant stay. A lot of space, nicely furnished and equipped with everything needed for a longer stay. And away from any major roads or traffic. Surrounded by cedars with far away views all the way to the Rockies. Very convenient for trips to the Monument Valley, Valley of the Gods, etc. Highly recommended!
