About Us

Our History

Cedars Resort began in the early 1940’s when Eddie and Almeda Barber began spending their weekends and summer months building their home, which later become Cabin #1. After completion they began working on other cabins with the idea of creating a “fishing camp”. Each cabin is made from cedar timber taken from the surrounding area. Eddie “hand hewn” all the logs himself and built everything himself, including the cedar cabinets.

Subsequently they permanently moved north from their native Columbus, Ohio. Many of their first guests were friends and neighbors from the Columbus area. In fact, some of our older guests were children at the time and remember some of the newer cabins being built in the later 1940s and early 1950s. We have several families that have been coming to Cedar’s Resort every year since the early 1950’s. We estimate that approximately 30% of our summer rentals are folks who are descendants, or have other ties, to the resort’s original guests. Like the original Columbus families, most of our guests are families that are repeat customers.
