The Writer`s Room at The Cedar

Find your words here. A small writing desk sits beneath the window, a vintage typewriter stands at the ready, and a floating shelf holds 15–20 curated books to inspire. The Writer`s Room is the most secluded room at The Cedar — the end unit of our back building, designed for focus, creativity, and a stay you`ll want to write home about. Private bath, smart TV, free WiFi. Minutes from Cedar Point, Kalahari, and the Lake Erie islands.
Welcome to The Cedar! These house rules help us keep things running smoothly for every guest. Full version: stayatthecedar.com/policies

Check-in: 3:00pm to 11:00pm (self check-in, no front desk). Check-out: 11:00am. Late check-out without prior approval may be charged at half the nightly rate. Your access details arrive by email before arrival.

AGE
The primary guest must be at least 21 years old and physically staying at the property.

OCCUPANCY
Do not exceed the maximum occupancy listed for this room. Overnight visitors not on the reservation are not permitted.

PETS
The Cedar is pet-friendly. Dogs only, maximum 2 per room, each under 50 lbs. Please disclose your dog at booking so the pet fee can be applied and we can prepare the room. ADA service animals are welcome at no charge with advance notice. Emotional support animals are welcomed under the same terms as other pets. Clean up after your dog around the property, keep dogs leashed in common areas, and do not leave pets unattended in the room. Undisclosed pets, or exceeding the dog count or size limit: $250 minimum cleaning fee.

SMOKING
Strictly non-smoking indoors — cigarettes, cigars, vapes, e-cigarettes, cannabis, and any other smoking material. Smoking indoors (including in the bathroom or with windows open) results in a $500 cleaning and deodorizing fee. Smoke outdoors in designated areas only.

QUIET HOURS & EVENTS
Quiet hours: 10:00pm – 8:00am. No parties, large gatherings, or events. Contact us before booking if you`d like to host a small group.

PARKING
Free on-site parking. Rooms 1–6 use the front (waterfront) lot. Rooms 7–12 use the rear (courtyard) lot. One vehicle per room; let us know in advance for additional vehicles or trailers.

WILDLIFE & INSECTS
The Cedar is directly on Sandusky Bay. Seasonally you may see mayflies (a harmless Lake Erie summer hatch), midges, mosquitoes, spiders, ladybugs, wasps, geese, ducks, or gulls. We treat the property regularly. Please keep doors closed and don`t leave food or trash outside. Refunds are not issued for insect activity, weather, or natural conditions outside our control.

ADDITIONAL CLEANING
Cleaning beyond standard turnover (excessive trash, food spills, stains, sand or mud, pet hair, or anything requiring extra labor or linen replacement) is charged at a $150 minimum, with additional charges based on time and materials.

DAMAGES
Guests are responsible for damage to the room, furnishings, or property beyond normal wear and tear. Items removed from the room are charged at replacement cost.

RIGHT TO REFUSE
The Cedar reserves the right to refuse service, cancel a reservation, or require a guest to leave without refund for policy violations, damage, disturbing other guests, illegal activity, or false information at booking.

LIABILITY
The Cedar is a waterfront property used at your own risk. The Cedar is not responsible for personal injury, illness, loss, or damage to personal property except where required by law. Supervise children at all times, especially near water and parking.

By booking, you agree to all rules above and the full version at stayatthecedar.com/policies. Welcome to the bay — we`re glad you`re here.
