While In Muskoka, Step Out of the Cottage and Into The Wild

An article in the Globe & Mail by Andrew Cruickshank

“After a day of adventuring, you need a place to lay your head. Camping is an option in Algonquin, but for those who prefer the support of a good mattress, there are a number of options in the Huntsville area. For an authentic cabin experience, check out Cedar Grove Lodge. Operating since 1927, the resort stretches along 450 metres of Peninsula Lake’s picturesque shoreline. Rent a canoe, kayak, rowboat, paddleboard or windsurfer and explore the shimmering waters. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, take a bounce on the resort’s water trampoline or a whirl around the lake on a free water ski or tube ride. At the end of the day, curl up in front of your private log cabin’s wood-burning fireplace and relax.”

Why Log Cabins Are The New Beach Resort

By Sabrina Maddeaux

“Trust us: These six wintery lodges and log-cabin resorts will have you rethinking hot vacays for good.

This year, trade in ocean views for cozy fireplaces and sandy beaches for memorable adventures in snowshoeing, skiing and snowmobiling at a historic log cabin resort. Best of all, you can often skip splurging on airfare and find excellent deals when housing the entire fam in a cabin with multiple rooms.

Cedar Grove Lodge, Ontario
Escape to the beautiful Cedar Grove Lodge resort on Peninsula Lake in Muskoka, Ont. The family-owned destination has log cottages with stone fireplaces that are ideal for both romantic weekends and escapes from the city with the entire family. Feeding the whole crew is a lot easier when three meals a day (with such mouthwatering menu options as organic mac ‘n cheese for the kids and roast prime rib for adults) are included with the price of accommodation, which starts at $122 per person per night. The resort offers a plethora of winter equipment, such as cross-country skis, snowshoes, skates, toboggans, hockey sticks and more (free of charge!), so you can fully explore the 10 kilometres of ski trails and lake complete with an ice-fishing hut. Warm up with indoor amenities that include arcade games, shuffleboard and pool tables……”

Stay at Cedar Grove Lodge

Sample a Taste of Everything in Muskoka

A Blog Post and Review by Dave and Deb of theplanetD.com

” “They will tear you apart if you call it The Muskokas.” As I referred to it during our lunch in Huntsville. “It is Muskoka, not The Muskokas” as I’ve been foolishly referring to it for years! There you go, and now you know. Either way, Muskoka is beautiful and contrary to popular belief, it is open all year long!   …

We set our sights on Huntsville, Ontario for our Winter Sampler. Huntsville is in the heart of cottage country and has ranked #1 by National Geographic as the Best Trips of Summer. We all know that Muskoka is the premier cottage country in Canada attracting celebrities like Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks but contrary to popular belief, it doesn’t close up after the leaves fall. As a matter a fact, winter in Muskoka is magical.

…(W)e checked in to Cedar Grove Lodge for three nights of winter fun. Cedar Grove is a member of the independently owned and operated Resorts of North Muskoka. It’s a welcome change to the large resorts, offering guests a more intimate setting with all the amenities of four star service. Our spacious cabin had a wood  burning stone fireplace, a luxurious bathroom with slate heated floors, and a jet tub. Its location directly on the lake made for a picture perfect retreat….”

A Girls’ Weekend Getaway is the Perfect Way to Stay Connected

A Review and Blog Post by dipdiva.ca

“Connection is something we all strive for, but sometimes forget to maintain. A girls’ weekend getaway is the perfect way to stay connected to the ones that keep you sane. “A good friend is a connection to life – a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world.” (Lois Wyse). But planning the perfect girls’ weekend getaway can feel like you’re trying to herd cats, so here are a few key points to keep in mind when looking for the ideal place to book your getaway:

delicious food
comfortable accommodations
activities onsite or close by
waterfront
beautiful scenery
private ( laugh till 3 am without bothering anyone)

We checked all these boxes and more when we were invited for a girls’ weekend getaway to Cedar Grove Lodge on Peninsula Lake in beautiful Muskoka, Ontario. This resort is a home away from home, but so much better. Included in our stay were three home-cooked meals a day and a comfortable cottage with log fireplace and gorgeous views of the lake and grounds. The Fleming family have been the owners of this little piece of heaven since 1927, so they know a thing or two about how to make guests feel welcomed and cared for during their stay. They take pride in offering their guests a unique and relaxing experience – which is why so many of their guests return year after year….”

“Thanks again – Last week was one of our all-time best family vacations.  Even the dog who is normally very stressed traveling had a great time!”

“Loved the experience.  The staff is great. Remarkable attention to details. Keep it up!”

“Just got back from a 5 day stay.  Can’t say enough about how great the experience was.  Cabin was clean, comfortable, well maintained and no issues.  Staff were fantastic.  Even after a snowfall they are out there clearing the drives, porches and sanding to ensure a slip free vacation.  All staff spend all the time you need with them, they are pleasant and helpful.  The meals were top notch, well above expectations, and the wait staff were attentive, interesting, but not overbearing.  We found the experience to be exactly as advertised – how nice! “

“This is my 4th visit since Sept 2020 and the great staff, wonderful food, ambiance and love of nature keep me coming back.  Sitting in a cabin right on a lake with a glass of wine and viewing pristine snow and bright sunshine is as good as it gets.  We love walking on the crunchy snow on the frozen lake, sometimes even seeing a deer sprinting across.  Each visit is very different and this year we took advantage of the games room, trying out the various activities.  See you next year.”

“My husband and I enjoyed a very relaxing stay the week before Thanksgiving (2021).  The weather was mostly warm and sunny.  We had a great boat cruise around the lake this time with Garry.  The food was awesome as usual.  We didn’t mind picking up our food and eating in our cottage.  Each night we had a fire and ate dinner by the fireplace, which was lovely.  Nice to see Bonnie and the Fleming family again.  We look forward to spending another vacation at the Grove.”

“Dear Cedar Grove, we loved every minute of our 4 night stay here.  The cottage was so clean, the food great (especially the desserts) and enjoyed the sunset cruise!  We really appreciated how you emphasized guests follow covid protocols and that the staff followed protocols.  We felt safe here and impressed with how you organized the meals with the covid situation.  We actually loved eating on our deck.  Can’t wait for our next visit!”

“What an amazing family vacation – thank you!  The activities and events for kids really warms my heart and everyone is fantastic and kind.  All the best.”

“A great two weeks in Whippoorwill.  The kids had such a great time making memories! It never disappoints 🙂  “

“After almost 30 years, my return did not disappoint.  Beautiful location. Love Dove very comfortable, quaint and the quiet we needed.  So happy to take a long needed get-away.  Looking forward to returning next year!”

“Thank you for another wonderful week away.  We are so lucky to have Cedar Grove summers as a marker of our son’s childhood.  We so appreciate all the care that went into accommodating our dietary needs.  We feel so taken care of here.  See you next year!”

“Absolutely Fantastic. You all know how to adapt and make it great for oldies, and youngsters.  It was great for our children and grandchildren to have a normal summer.  The best of our year!”

“We wanted to reach out and express to you how much we enjoyed our stay last week.  Your resort continues to be our favourite vacation spot.  All staff went above and beyond to ensure that everyone was safe and happy.  The take-out meals were not only delicious but worked perfectly for our family and children.  Thank you for another fun and relaxing vacation!  We are looking forward to our next stay.  If there are any last minute cancellations this summer please contact us.  Thank you again.”

“The friends we have made here have become our family, family that we want to hang out with.”

“Even during Covid-19 and the restrictions, the magic of Cedar Grove remains.  And that is all that matters.”

“Thank you to the incredible folks who make Cedar Grove run so smoothly.  An extra big thanks to the kitchen crew who dealt with my dietary restrictions flawlessly and with utmost care.  Undoubtedly our week there is easily the happiest I’ve been in 2 years.  Counting down the days to next year! “

“It was wonderful to come “home” and relax at the Woodpecker and with the Flemings and staff.  March 1986 we began our visits and there will be more to follow!!  Thanks again”

“Beautiful weekend at Songsparrow.  Lovely weather for hiking and boating.  A very safe and relaxing stay.  Thank you!”

“Stayed in Bluebird & had a wondeful time.  So nice to be near the beach area & activities.  The greatest place for young children!!  Celebrated a 40th birthday.  What better place to celebrate!”

”  Me and my husband just spent our honeymoon at Cedar Grove Lodge.  I think it will now be somewhere we go every year with our son.  They give you unlimited access to their water activities, food is great, staff is very friendly and the people who stay there are friendly as well.  Thank you for making our honeymoon special, will be booking again 100% with our family next time.”

“Beautiful weekend at Songsparrow.  Lovely weather for hiking and boating.  A very safe and relaxing stay.  Thank you!”

“So happy to come this year after missing 2020 due to the covid-19 pandemic.  Enjoyed ourselves so much that we stayed an extra night!   Will look forward to returning to the dining room and are going to stay for a week next year!  Staff and food were amazing. Especially under all of these crazy circumstances.  Great job Cedar Grove! Until we meet again….”

“A delight to the senses in every way! Thank you”

“Wonderful stay – beautiful weather.  Saw 12 deers crossing the frozen lake!”

“I hope you don’t get tired of being told how wonderful you are!  Your COVID precautions are fabulous…..we felt completely safe.  The food, accommodations, staff and premises…in no particular order…..let us enjoy a “normal” time away.  We are very, very thankful for Cedar Grove!”

“Just spent my third mini vacation at Cedar Grove Lodge, and enjoyed the food, the cabin, the weather, and especially hiking on the frozen lake and snowshoeing in the hills.  I felt very safe with the different covid changes, the cleanliness and the takeout meals.  Twice I was with a friend and once I came alone and the different experiences were wonderful.”

“This place was magical.  Food was delicious.  Service was amazing. They have care of Covid really well.   Cannot wait to be back.”

“Stayed at Cedar Grove in September 2020.  We were very impressed with Covid-19 protocols were set up and handled professionally.  We felt safe and as always for the past many years enjoyed our stay.  Staff are always friendly and welcoming.  GOOD JOB!!!!”

“Another great fall weekend stay at Cedar Grove.  Relaxing in front of your fireplace in your cozy cabin and three great meals and excellent service.”

“Excellent service, staff who will make your stay a real pleasure, facilities to cater to all ages,   and food that is outstanding and desserts are to die for!  Only problem, is finding the energy to work off the calories.  My dog just loved the friendly attitude from everyone.  Roll on the time to my next visit.  You will not be disappointed by a vacation at Cedar Grove.  Only disappointment for us, was having to leave.”

“I have had the privilege of staying at Cedar Grove Lodge 4 times, once in each season and thoroughly enjoyed each time.  This Covid-19 summer was the best.  It was such a relief being around a great staff, lovely families, all through social distancing.  For the time there it felt “normal again”.  The meals are always delicious with many choices available.  Love the privacy of your own cottage with fireplace.”

“Cedar Grove Lodge is a serene, beautiful setting, but more importantly, it is a “feeling”, where cares/worries melt away, and each family member feels free to be, free to swim, hike, fish, read, row, and free to relax,converse and make new friends – whatever age one may be!  I was fortunate to first arrive at The Lodge when I was 10 – and the beginning of my annual “waterskiing career” took off!  Now, as an older parent, I return with my teen daughters, and they enjoy every drop of fun/independence/safety that Cedar Grove reveals for them.  The Owners provide exceptional customer service, the cabins are comfy, and the various activities/amenities keep everyone happy – what more can we ask of a favorite Summer vacation spot??!!!   I highly recommend Cedar Grove to all families!

“Your family truly provides a tremendous service to the families blessed to go to Cedar Grove.  We are absolutely 100% grateful and consider your lodge/business a loving service.  You have no idea the number of families and kids that you have changed their lives.  Thanks again for providing 100% Cedar Grove family time!”

“Just got home from our 34th year of our summer vacation at Cedar Grove.  We now have 4 generations of our family enjoying the beauty and hospitality of the Fleming family and their excellent staff.  Thanks again. “

“We just enjoyed 3 wonderful nights in the Nightlark over the Victoria Day weekend.  Perfect accommodations and dining as always.  Beautiful relaxed setting and scenery.  Once again we are reminded that “the world is a better place with people like Bonnie in it”.  We have visited in the winter and spring.  Next time we look forward to trying the fall.  Thanks again and take care.”

“Cedar Grove has made a very special place in our hearts.  Everything was so cozy and comfortable.  Staff is always so helpful and welcoming that it almost felt like a second home to us.  We were surprised by the fact that many of the guests have been coming here for years and we were delighted to meet them and felt an instant connection with them.  We are thankful for the whole experience and hope to come back again sometime to enjoy this peaceful spot amidst nothing but the pure face of nature.”

” Beautiful place, people, & food.  We loved that we could bring our dog too.”

“Thank you so much for the most delightful get-a-way! The staff & food are amazing and we loved our Songsparrow cabin.”

“We had a fabulous stay – great food, cozy nights by the fire, sunny snowshoe treks in the woods.  Thank you!”

” Thanks again for a wonderful experience at your resort. My wife and I travel extensively and we never submit reviews.  This time was different and we submitted a review.  We have stayed at many all inclusives and bed and breakfasts in our many years of travel.  We were absolutely impressed with the lodge, our cabin, the staff and the guests who stayed there.  As guests from the USA, we were made to feel very welcome by staff and guests alike.  We discovered that many of the guests are frequent stayers and they come back every year.  While we don’t usually return to the same place twice as we like to experience new things, our experience at Cedar Grove makes us want to return.  While almost 6 hours away, it is well worth the trip.  Thanks to all who made our visit so great. “

“After getting engaged here in 2018, it holds a very special place in our hearts.  Absolutely love our little home away from home and all the wonderful staff and guests we’ve met over the years.  We look forward to returning each year.”

“Best place in the world.”

“Thanks for the winter retreat! We feasted! We skated! We snowshoed! We puzzled! We ping pong’ed! We Fuzballed! We snoozed! We read! We laughed! Did we mention we ate?! Thank you so much for an amazing vacation as always.  Skating was amazing this year. See you next year and we’ll do it all over again!”

“We enjoyed going skating, playing board games and overall spending time with family.  One of the best moments of the year!”

“Our first year here at Cedar Grove with our 2 year old.  The friendly service, smiles and hospitality made this visit an incredible one! Such a precious, magical place – true Winter Wonderland.  I hope we spend many more years here.”

“We have had another wonderful weekend but this time we enjoyed it with our children.  Hope to make this a tradition.  Love it here!”

“(We) wish to thank all of you for providing us with a rare piece of Heaven on Earth.”

“Thank you so much for the most delightful get-a-way! The staff and food are amazing and we loved our Song Sparrow cabin.”

“Another amazing stay with you all! Merci! Introduced our two grandsons and son to Cedar Grove Lodge!! See you next year!”

“Luxurious private accommodations, wood burning fireplace, 3 meals a day, friendly staff, and dog friendly to boot.  Relaxation reigns.”

"Just had a wonderful stay at Cedar grove Lodge. We stayed in the Snowgoose cottage and it was wonderful.

I had just finished chemo and radiation and the break was just what the Dr ordered. 
This place will always hold a special place in  our heart. We will definitely be back."

“Home again, Cedar Grove.  We all owe such gratitude to the Fleming Family, for their ongoing dedication to provide such a Heaven On Earth for all of us.  There are not many places left such as Cedar Grove.  It is a precious diamond with four perfect C’s.”

“Spent two peaceful nights at Cedar Grove in June and was amazed how much of its charm the lodge has retained since the last time I was there as a child in 1968. Swam in the lake. Took out the canoe. Sat on the dock. Ate wonderful meals. All in a peaceful setting that brought back memories of the childhood summers spent here with my family. To top it off, our waitress from those days long ago, Bonnie, still worked in the restaurant!! How about that for continuity. My only regret is that I live too far away to make this a regular thing. But, hopefully, I’ll be back again one day and it won’t take me 49 years.”

“Lovely place, great food, nice to have our own cottage, quiet and scenic.”

“Both my sons claimed ‘Best Day Ever’ all 4 days.”

“Back after a long 7 year absence – Lots of fun, food and old family faves! Be back much sooner next time.”

“I had a lot of fun! And I can’t WAIT to come back!”

“It was our first time at Cedar Grove Lodge and we loved it.  The cottage (Chickadee) was awesome, the food and service was great.  Thank you.  We will be back again for more adventures.”

“My wife and I had the most relaxing time.  Away from the big city, we both had a chance to decompress.  We got married in Oct 2017 and this place was our mini-moon 🙂  One day we will be back for sure.”

“This is truly our winter home away from home and we look forward to our time here all year.  Thank you for another wonderful week!  See you all next year!”

“This was our first time here & we had an absolutely amazing time! Everybody was extremely kind & friendly and made this place feel like home! Food is amazing!”

“We had our first memorable stay in 1985 and, as a young couple, Love Dove was a perfect introduction to many future visits and an evolution to become 4 generations staying here this week.  We feel this is a home away from home.  Always so welcoming and fun.  We love you, Cedar Grove!”

Made it home away from home.”

“Eight glorious days in your winter wonderland and eight more magical days in the most vivid and breathtaking colours of your fall season. These are two of the main reasons we keep coming back to Cedar Grove Lodge year after year after year. And now, our daughter and son-in-law join us in the autumn to experience the best service, best food and best getaway experience in Ontario. Cedar Grove is definitely our family home away from home! “

“Best place to come for Rest, Relax, Exercise and Eat!”

“Celebrating 45 years since we began in 1969.  Always a pleasure to see everyone and enjoy every thing! Wonderful memories!”

“Am very impressed with the friendly staff, the way they serve and accommodate every of our weirdest, fuzzy needs.  I was most pleased with the special ‘gluten free’ that was packed just for me in our picnic lunch.  Much appreciate the kind act and warm thoughts.  Feels like mom’s cooking for me again….”

Thank you for making it possible. A very treasured and special place in our lifetime.”

“What more can I say about Cedar Grove and the staff? Been coming since 1998 due to our dogs feeling welcome here. Cedar Grove Lodge, a paradise to heal, mentally and physically. Cedar Grove changes with the times but never changes too rapidly. The old traditions are so evident here.”

“So many new adventures for the kids – tubing, waterskiing, fishing, camp fires, canoeing, kayaking & delicious pancakes and food galore. Many thanks to the whole excellent staff.”
