Looking for a Quiet, peaceful Wisconsin Dells Hotel with Free Waterpark passes, surrounded by nature?

When you think of a vacation to “The Waterpark Capital of the World,” your mind probably jumps straight to neon lights, bustling main strips, and concrete hotel corridors echoing with footsteps. It’s exciting, sure—but it’s rarely relaxing.

For many travelers, the ultimate dream is a getaway that balances both worlds: access to the ultimate theme park thrills by day, and a peaceful, nature-filled sanctuary to unwind by night.

If you’ve been endlessly searching for a quiet, scenic alternative to the massive mega-resorts, your search ends right here on the banks of the Lower Wisconsin River. Welcome to Cedar Lodge & Settlement.

Tucked Away in Nature, Right on the River

At Cedar Lodge, we swap the chaotic resort atmosphere for towering pines, fresh air, and rustic Northwoods charm. Instead of a crowded parking lot outside your window, our accommodations offer stunning views of the peaceful Wisconsin River.

Whether you stay in one of our authentic log cabins, a spacious suite, or a luxury Riverview villa, you are completely surrounded by the natural beauty that made the Dells famous in the first place.

Our unique waterfront property features:

  • 400 Feet of Private Sandy Beach: A quiet shoreline perfect for building sandcastles, reading a book, or soaking up the sun away from crowded pool decks.

  • Private Boat Launch & Fishing Pier: Cast a line for walleye and northern pike, or launch your watercraft right from our grounds to explore the river’s iconic sandstone cliffs.

  • Riverside Courtyard & Evening Bonfires: Relax on a wooden lawn swing under glowing string lights and end your night with a cozy campfire under the stars.

  • Heated Pool, Sundeck, Gas grills and Firepit: Relax on the Sundeck as the Sunsets. Grill out while the family talks around the fireplace.

The Ultimate Perk: FREE Noah’s Ark Waterpark Passes

Choosing a quiet, nature-focused resort doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the legendary waterpark action. We believe you should have the best of both worlds without breaking the bank.

From Memorial Day to Labor Day, Cedar Lodge includes FREE Noah’s Ark Waterpark wristbands for our guests!

We provide passes for each registered guest, for each day of your stay—valid from the morning you check in all the way through the day you check out. You can spend your afternoon conquering America’s Largest Waterpark completely on us, and then escape back to your quiet cabin to grill out and relax by the river in the evening.
