Your Hosts
Family Friendly, Pet Friendly, All Around Friendly!
Meet the DeRosa’s. We are a family run business and everyone is hands on deck! You will even find Connor helping Dad with the recycling! Connor was born in March of 2018 and quickly became head of guest services as he always has a big smile to greet new guests and old friends! We have an adorable dog named Bentley who you will probably meet at some point during your stay. He is very friendly and loves to say “Hello!”
The Cedar House started in 2009 when Darrin found the property. It was just the restaurant and Cedar Chalet but he saw the potential. With the help of a good friend, they spent evenings dreaming up the next chalet and making the floor plans on a bar napkin at the local pub! They enlisted the help of local trades persons but the majority of the work was with Darrin’s own two hands and his eye for the details. Fast forward to today and there are now 7 amazing chalets, an award winning fine dining restaurant and a property so gorgeous you will want to return year after year!
We look forward to welcoming you to the Cedar House Restaurant & Chalets!
Pet Friendly
Mr Bentley says the Cedar House is a puppy’s paradise!
With milk bones on arrival, the Cedar House truly caters to all our guests! The hiking trails behind the property will take your furry friend on the walk they dream of. There are mountain views and 100’s of kilometers to explore, your doggy will feel like they are on an epic vacation as well.
There are two pet friendly chalets: Cedar Chalet and the Garden Chalet. We accept dogs for a fee of $35 per night per pet up to a maximum charge of $140 per pet / per stay. For other pets, multiple dogs three or over, or larger dogs over 50 pounds please give us a call at 250.290.0001 prior to booking.
For the comfort of our other guests, please ensure your pet is on leash while exploring the resort grounds. There is a big field near the Green Chalet that is great for playing fetch. Otherwise, please keep your dog close and under control.
To ensure your pet stays off the furniture and so you don’t incur an extra cleaning fee, pets are not to be left in a chalet unattended at any time. We do understand that sometimes you’re going where your pet cannot, so please talk to the office staff if you need to leave your pet.
A little little slice of home in the mountain!
Cedar House went above AND beyond to make us feel at home. The unit we stayed in (the sun suite) was fully stocked with everything we needed. From dish soap to spice to cook, coffee, pots and pans, they really provide you with everything you need! This place is an amazing place to stay with friends and family. We really felt welcome and at home! The place was stellar clean and in great condition. I also appreciated that they lend us snowshoes for FREE! Also, I need to mention…the view was so spectacular! Great place to stay, we will definitely be back!!
