Great secluded cabin with beautiful views!

We loved our stay at this sweet cabin tucked in the cedars! Even though it is quite close to town, we felt like the location was very private. The star gazing was incredible! The beds were comfy! The heated tile floors and shower in the master bath were a special treat! Communication with our hosts was great!

Great out of town property

This was just outside of town, which gave it a nice country feel, but yet was very convenient to the area attractions. I loved the binder with suggested destinations, and we actually changed out itenerary based on our find there. House was huge, well equipped, and comfortable.

Great peaceful location, excellent mountain views

The house is well equipped with everything one needs for a comfortable stay. It sits on a large piece of land and it’s quiet and private. My wife and I took an evening walk from the house to nearby lakes and biked from the house to see Five Kiva Pueblo in a canyon south of Blanding. I’m sure we’ll be coming back to explore more of this amazing part of Utah. Martin & Ruth Montrose/Colorado

Quiet and comfortable

We spent six nights in this marvelous cottage as our base during a recent visit to Utah. The bed we slept on after a long day of hiking was super comfortable and the heated tile floors after a morning shower were wonderful. The beautiful quilt on the bed was much admired and appreciated! We mostly did our own cooking and the kitchen had everything we needed including a cupboard of spices. The cottage is close to Mule Canyon, Bears Ears and National Bridges Monument, communication with our host Preston was very good, and we would not hesitate to stay here again.

Third Wonderful Visit

Our third stay at the Cedars Cottage was as comfortable, quiet, and convenient as the previous two visits (see my earlier reviews). This lodging has everything needed for a couple or a family. And the location is perfect for exploring Cedar Mesa--be sure to visit the Tourist Info Center for great suggestions about where to go and don't miss the Edge of the Cedars Museum, well curated and filled with a variety of interesting and relevant exhibits. Restaurants in Blanding were underwhelming, but the Cedar Shack in Bluff had excellent pizza. Thanks for making your beautiful, comfortable home available for others to enjoy. We hope to return!

Beautiful house in great location

The house was absolutely great. When we arrived, a deer with two young was grazing in the garden, what a great start. After entering the house, all was absolutely great. The place has everything you need, and is in excellent condition. All little things are thought of and provided for. The hosts are incredibly quick to answer any questions you have. The Blanding town (dry town, by the way) is closeby and has all the basic needs. Perfect location to do all the tourist things ! Loved it !

Country Cottage great access to SE Utah

Loved all of the western style that was in this cottage. I felt that I was in the mid-west. We had a wonderful time at this location. It is great for access to the Southeast Utah National and State parks. It has all of the amenities you need for cooking and entertainment. We enjoyed the master suite and dual shower heads in the bath after a long day of site seeing, hiking and driving. We were glad we brought our own outside seating the cute benches have been replaced by log seating. Blanding is a cute town and lovely to explore.

Great home in a great location!

I highly recommend The Cedars! The home is conveniently located to Canyonlands, Natural Bridges, Monument Valley, and many more parks. The views of the mountains from the property are stunning. The location is very quiet, and the town of Blanding is only a few minutes drive away. Inside, everything was clean and well stocked. Having the heated floor in the winter was wonderful! The owners provided lots of suggestions about what to see in the area, and their communication was great for the whole stay. Cell reception on the property was fine too. If visiting in the winter I found it helpful to have 4WD as the driveway is quite steep and it does snow. But the owners will also come by and plow if needed. Overall it was a great stay and it was hard to leave!

Very nice place with nice extras

The cottage was very pleasant. It is away from other properties and has a lot of extras that makes the stay nicer. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen has lots of extras that makes cooking easier. Make sure that you take advantage of the binder of information about the area. We visited with the intent of hiking in Bears Ears and Natural Bridges. The binder really helped to find hikes and other activities. Only issue was our check instructions did not come until a few hours before check in. It would have been nicer to receive it the day before. Outside of this minor issue, everything else was perfect!

Great, quiet location for unwinding. It would have been good to stay another night, but we needed to keep going. Rooms were reasonably sized and beds were comfortable. The house had everything we needed. We dinged it for cleanliness for three reasons: 1) dust on the kitchen counters, 2) left-over plastic fruit container on the fireplace, and 3) towels left in the dryer. We were somewhat confused by getting texts from different people asking about our check-in status, arrival, and number in our party. A single point of contact would have been better. The heating/cooling setup is complicated. And it probably didn't help that we were there when days were warm/hot and nights still cool. But we managed. Lastly, the list of restaurants provided by the owner should include Gustavos in Monticello. It was excellent.

This lovely home is located near the oldest National Monument in the US: Natural Bridges, which we would have missed if not suggested by the host. The kitchen is outfitted with everything you need.

Schöner Kurz-Aufenthalt für eine Wanderung - Natural Bridges

Das Haus ist weitestgehend wie beschrieben. Leider konnten wir die Feuerstelle nicht nutzen aufgrund der aktuellen Feuer Gefahr. Das war ärgerlich aber ist absolut verständlich. Allerdings wäre es schön gewesen zu wissen dass der Indoor Kamin aus Versicherungsgründen auch nicht genutzt werden darf. Die Veranda ist leider nicht wirklich gemütlich eingerichtet. Die Steine sind wackelig und man muss aufpassen das man nicht stürzt. Auch war der Grill leider sehr verdreckt und daher nicht nutzbar. Daher nur 4 Punkte.
