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.

Feels Secluded

The cottage is near downtown Blanding, but it feels secluded, set on a slope and surrounded by pinion and juniper. Nice, compact place with everything we needed.

Perfect location for visiting Bears Ears

Spent a week hiking in Bears Ears and Canyonlands Needles. This rental was in the perfect location for both. After a long day of hiking and exploring it felt like home walking through the front door. Clean, comfy and cozy. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

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.

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

Spacious, Affordable, Nice Location

As a family of four, we had lots of room to spread out in the house. Kids loved it too. It was centrally located for what we wanted to do in the area. Owners/management were quick with answers and responses and willing to check on things. Beds were comfortable and shower was amazing. Our 12 year old was ready to move in permanently.

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 Place to Stay for a Southeast Utah Getaway

Nice house. Very clean. Liked the large upstairs TV/family room and large master bedroom suite with huge shower. The powerful AC kept the house cool (cold in fact) during a heat wave. The house was well stocked with supplies. Enjoyed the privacy due to the large size of the property and amount of trees surrounding the house. It felt secluded. Good location for several day trips in this part of the state. The romping bunnies were a plus.

Convenient, quiet location

We loved our stay at this property. Despite being only a short drive off the highway, it was quiet and felt secluded. The place had everything we needed and was well stocked. We loved our day trips to Arches, Natural Bridges, Canyonlands, and Monument Valley. The owners have put together a binder with suggestions of what to do in the area and information about hikes and distances to different places. Even though we had a good idea of what we wanted to do while there, we found all of this information really helpful, and it made putting the final touches on our day trips that much easier. Thanks for making our first trip to Utah a great one!

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!
