Cute retro vibe

Location was great. Room was clean, with everything we needed. We watched a sunset over the water right down the road and a sunrise over the water right from the motel.

Quick check-in at a nice family run motel. Location right on the lake was great and was within 20 minutes of Cedar Point. The room was small, but clean and comfortable. Nice people running the property.

I’m quite happy that I stayed at the Cedar Motel. The place is charming, and the owner is very friendly and welcoming. I was able to lay in my bed and look out the window across the bay and it was so peaceful sitting and drinking my morning tea on the front bench, looking out across the water. Great place for peace and quiet. If I come back to this area, most definitely will stay here again.
