Cedar Crest Lodge is my "find of the year" I couldn’t have asked for a better 50th birthday gift for my husband and myself. The warm stone massages were just the ticket for starting off our weekend. Thank you for having the champagne & romantic dinner set up & waiting in the room! Your lodge is delightful, the decor is awesome, the meals beautifully prepared, presented and oh so tasty! I’m spreading the word for you in Overland Park and beyond.
We will definitely be back!
---- Barbie Dierks

The food, the massage, the Jacuzzi, the bed and my wonderful wife! It was a great way to turn 50!
---- Rick Dierks

After unpacking, the hammock beckoned us, the panoramic view, beauty of the land is awesome – this is definitely not the City! After a restful swing it was time for our massages Janie and Londa’s skillful hands eased us into a deep relaxed bliss. Dinner was completed just in time to watch the sun dip behind the western horizon. After twilight the stars came out and we were serenaded by a whippoorwill, a sound not heard in the city. A blissful sleep, wonderful breakfast and birds chirping and singing in a new day – We will return! Thank you for making our 17th anniversary so special.
---- Jane & Vince

This room is beautiful and relaxing after a very stressful couple of months planning a wedding. We plan to come back every year for our anniversary! It could not have been more perfect! The breakfast that Laura cooked was amazing! The scenery was breath taking; along with the breeze made it a perfect night to sit on the porch! Thank you for everything! We will see you next year at the same time!
---- Kelly & Nic Provence

Such a warm and welcoming place! It’s always nice to come somewhere that makes you feel like part of the family. We love the quiet out here! The food was awesome and the room is beautiful! Thanks so much for giving us a great place to get away.
---- Bob & Julie Noelle, Overland Park, KS

Our stay here was wonderful!! For two people that had never had massages before, it was so relaxing the ladies were so sweet and made the mood smooth and enjoyable with their music and candles. We would definitely recommend the stone massage! We went for a walk just before we sat down on the back porch for a romantic sunset dinner. This is our second year here and the stay was even better this year. We couldn’t think of a better way to spend our 6th anniversary then here! What a beautiful atmosphere. Thank you Matt & Laura.

This has been a great, great little get away.

I came to escape from chaos. I found quiet solitude, I found peace. I retrived a piece of my soul. I am recharged. This is a beautiful place. The spirit of the land, the hoot of the owl, the simple flight of the bird soaring effortlessly across the horizon provided the healing. Thank you for your hospitality, it too is healing!
