Hello!
Spring has officially arrived in the Root River Valley, and here at Cedar Valley Resort things are always moving and shaking. We’re very excited for the season ahead!
Here’s a little letter to keep you updated on what’s current…



Some Recent Upgrades, and Updates:
- 🧩 Lawn Chess Set: We know how academic our guests can be… so to help stimulate your vacations we’ve added a lawn sized chess board to the property.
- 🔨 Big Timber Kitchen Updates: New quartz countertops, tile backsplash, and farmhouse sinks in both the main level and lower level Big Timber kitchens.
- 🎯 Bean Bag Board Sets: Start drafting those family ‘bags’ tournament brackets… due to popular demand we have built several additional bag boards and added them to our yard game fleet.
- 🥾 Freshly Stained Cabin Siding: As always, to keep the log siding looking fresh and resilient from the elements, you’ll notice a new coat on the cabins.
- 🏓 Pickleball Court: Yes… this is still likely our most popular amenity and to keep it looking nice, it got a fresh coat of paint this spring.
- ✨ New Furniture in the Willow: The willow cabin got a furniture makeover. It’s looking cozier than ever.
- 🛶 New Kayaks: We have (4) new 10′ kayaks, perfect for smaller adults or kids to easily maneuver.
- 🍦 Soft Served: Our soft served ice cream machine is tuned up for the summer and ready for action; vanilla, chocolate or twist!
