Nature’s Newest Neighbors: Baby Ducks Arrive at Cedar Lodge!
There is an old saying that nature knows exactly where to go when it needs peace and quiet. This week, we received the ultimate stamp of approval from Mother Nature herself right here at Cedar Lodge in Wisconsin Dells.
For the past few weeks, our staff and guests have been keeping a quiet, respectful eye on a very special guest. A mother mallard duck chose the secluded garden bed at the base of a tree right outside our whirlpool suites to build her nest. Tucked safely away in the lush green foliage, she patiently watched the world go by.
We are thrilled to share that her patience has officially paid off—her beautiful baby ducklings have finally hatched!
The Perfect Stamp of Serenity
If you’ve ever wondered just how peaceful our grounds are, this is your answer. Animals don’t nest where there is loud chaos. They seek out calm, secure environments. The fact that this mother duck felt safe enough to hatch her babies just steps away from our lodge units speaks volumes about the tranquil, relaxing atmosphere we pride ourselves on maintaining.
While Wisconsin Dells is famous worldwide for its high-energy waterparks and bustling attractions, Cedar Lodge offers a completely different side of the Dells. Here, the loudest noise you’ll hear in the morning is the wind rustling through the pines, the gentle lapping of the water, and now, the soft chirping of newborn ducklings heading down to the shore for their very first swim.
Why the Lower Dells WI River is the Ultimate Escape
Our location plays a huge part in creating this peaceful sanctuary. Situated directly on the historic Lower Dells WI River, Cedar Lodge sits on a majestic stretch of water known for its stunning, uncrowded scenery.
Unlike the busier upper sections of the river, the Lower Dells offers a much quieter, more intimate connection with nature. When you stay with us, you get front-row seats to:
-
Iconic Sandstone Formations: Towering rock cliffs carved out over thousands of years rise directly from the water’s edge, visible right from our property.
-
A True Riverfront Haven: Whether you are staying in our rustic cabins, spacious lodge rooms, or relaxing in one of our private whirlpool suites, the river is always just a few steps away.
-
Abundant Wildlife: From bald eagles soaring overhead to our newest little webbed-foot residents exploring the sandy shoreline, it’s a paradise for nature lovers and anyone looking to unplug.
Experience the Peaceful Side of the Dells
Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend getaway in a whirlpool suite or a family vacation centered around campfires and river views, Cedar Lodge provides the perfect balance. You’re only minutes away from all the downtown action, but the moment you drive down Hillside Drive on the Lower Dells, you step into a quiet world of your own.
Devils Lake State Park and Mirror Lake State Park are only minutes from Cedar Lodge. Experience the beauty and natural wonder of the Dells area.
We want to wish our new little duckling family a safe journey on the Wisconsin River! Come down and see the peaceful side of the Dells for yourself—your Riverside chair is waiting.
