Family Getaway FAQ

Quick answers for planning your trip.

Is Cedar Escape good for multi-generational trips?

Yes — five bedrooms and 9 beds mean grandparents, parents, and kids can each have their own space instead of sharing a hotel room.

What's actually here for young kids?

A high chair, toddler kitchenware, a pack n' play, a toddler toilet seat, gates, and bunk beds.

Is there room for the kids to have their own space?

Yes — the bunk room and downstairs sleeper sofa give kids somewhere separate from the adult bedrooms, plus a movie room and game room for their own hangout space.

Are activities and meals included in my reservation?

No. WaterPark, skiing and snow tubing, workshops and meals from local businesses are arranged and paid for separately with each provider. Hours, ages and availability vary, so check each website before you go.
