Cedar Hill Lodge

Cedar Hill Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"This was one of our best St. Ignace stays to date! So glad we chose to stay here. The room was incredibly spacious, the staff was friendly, the heated pool was INCREDIBLE (I didn’t want to leave), and the hotel had a gorgeous view of the lake. We stayed in the lodge building and had a very hotel experience, but there are more disconnected buildings you can stay in as well for that motel feel. The grounds were beautiful. The only thing that could have been better was breakfast. The food wasn’t that great and it was packed. But it’s free with the stay, so we’ll take what we can get! There is also the amazing Wild Blueberry right across the street that you can snag a delicious breakfast at if you prefer quality over price. 100% would stay here again. We came on Labor Day weekend, so it was on the pricier side, but well worth it in our opinion."
