What guests think

At Cedar Grove Motel and Cabins, guests praise clean, renovated cabins and suites with well-equipped kitchens, friendly service, and family-oriented grounds featuring a playground, arcade, and a riverside swimming spot, creating an easy, enjoyable base for visits.

Recurring drawbacks include no air conditioning in many units, occasional traffic noise, and strict in-room cooking rules that prohibit seafood or strong-smelling dishes. The location is convenient for the beach, restaurants, and local activities. Overall, expect a laid-back, cabin-and-campground style stay rather than a typical hotel.

Check in was great . Allison was so kind and helpful. We we’re grateful to do laundry onsite, enjoyed the river swimming hole and the kitchen in our unit. It was warm without AC but they had two fans setup which made things more comfortable.

The property was huge, the front desk is also a neat little convenience store, there’s an arcade and a playground for the kids, laundry room, women’s and men’s change rooms, lots of spots for RV parking and camping, a very nice and quiet river for swimming. Loved it very much, will definitely go back again!!

Awesome family spot! Easy going stay with our young kids in The Cottage. We loved the rustic, well-built playground. Nastalgic fun for us and the perfect place to bring some fun toys for a treasure hunt.

I booked this place on a wing and a prayer from Ontario and I was overwhelmed with the amenities and friendliness of the staff!! It's walking distance (along the water!) to so much and the swimming hole is a delightful gem!! Fire pit gave us extra visiting time in evening under a starry sky! Family converged from Edmonton, Ontario and Tofino and we shall return!! 💖😎💖

This was a great place. The kids especially enjoyed the arcade with video games and pinball machines and the swimming area with the clay cliff across the creek. The staff were friendly and the vibe was amazing. Excellent.

Comfortable and clean suite. Friendly staff. Comfortable bed and pull out couch bed. Almost perfect except that is was difficult to cool down the suite in the very warm weather (no AC or shade). There were fans though and that helped. One more note: When booking on hotels.com I must not have paid attention; I thought I was booking one of the cabins but it turned out I booked a 4-plex suite.

Our stay was on a wet, cold day at the end of May...price was still over $275...that's outrageous. Small, clean cabin, but not worth all those dollars.

Stayed in a 4 plex. It was cute. Had a bedroom, couch that pulled out into a bed, kitchen with dishes and cooking utensils. Unfortunately, there was no A/C, fans were loud, and there was a sign that said not to cook ethnic food or fish.

This is the most terrible motel I’ve ever stayed. A suite with kitchen, but not allow to cook seafood, actually not welcome to cook honestly. I guess most people going to this area are having fun with clam, oyster and crab catching. People would like to enjoy cooking these fresh seafoods at night for dinner. We were not acknowledged of these rules until check-in. Definitely I wouldn’t pick this motel if I know this rule earlier.

I loved everything except for the fear of cooking. I mean I understand seafood and curry but my toddler asked for bacon but I was afraid they'd charge my card if I did. Besides that, it was everything I needed. They were nice people and rules are rules for a reason I guess.
