Summer's Moving Right Along

Didn't realize it'd been that long since I last updated the blog. Since several guests say they've visited it, maybe I need to keep it up more often. Here's what's happened lately:

Haying is done. All our meadows are now rolled up into big bales. They're not as pretty, but you can wander where-ever you want without wading through high grass - so less chance of ticks & chiggers.

Warm Season Grasses are coming on strong along the Cottage lane. Some of the big bluestem is already heading, with the spectacular Indian grass soon to follow. Unfortunately the purple coneflowers are past prime. We could use some rain now.

State Fair is only a couple of weeks away. We're already booked for the first 6 nights, but if you want to visit the Fair during your stay at Cedarcroft, Aug 15-19 are still available. Yes, we go to the Fair ourselves whenever we can, and have photographs entered in the Fine Arts contest.

Last Minute Discount: You might notice that our Availability page has a link to a last minute discount. Well, it's not quite "last minute," but there's about a 10% discount if you book on-line 2-5 days in advance. We do attach some special conditions, so read them carefully if you want to take advantage of the discount.
