Despite needing general updating, Cedar Ridge has everything covered in terms of amenities. Most things were acceptable in terms of functionality and upkeep... with major exceptions of the filthy shower doors and dangerous dock. To start with the shower doors, the base channels were literally caked in disgusting thick black mildew. I'm not sure how the cleaning crews could overlook this detail. As for the dock, it is by far the worst that we've encountered in 20 years of vacationing at DCL. We would absolutely not recommend this property to anyone who owns a decent motorboat and expects to dock it safely! Here's the story: - On day 1 of our stay, we called about the protective rubber edging hanging off in several places. The friendly maintenance man came out immediately and secured the worn sections with screws. - Luckily, early on day 2 we decided to move our boat from inside of the U-shape to the wider side, mainly because the U-shape was too short and completely unstable with any waves. When we returned to the dock after a day of boating on day 2, the narrow side of the dock became disconnected - which would have caused major damage to our boat had we left it inside of the U-shape! To add insult to injury, we were left to precariously rig it into place ourselves for the night, after calling maintenance and being told that they were gone for the evening. This was totally unacceptable service in an unsafe emergency situation! - On day 3, we bought additional fenders to mount to the wide side of the dock, and maintenance finally secured the narrow side of the dock with a new shaft and pin. This fix only lasted 1 day before the cotter pin sheared off and left the narrow side in danger of becoming detached again. Fortunately, maintenance returned before we had to rig it again.
