Sawmill Creek by Cedar Point Resorts
A golf-and-marina resort on Lake Erie
About this hotel
Sawmill Creek by Cedar Point Resorts sets its pools and free-parking convenience inside a genuine waterfront resort, built around its own golf course and marina rather than the amusement park gates directly. Its Cedar Point Resorts affiliation still makes pairing a Cedar Point Shores day with a stay here more natural than from an independent hotel. Grandparents can spend a morning on the golf course or at the marina while parents take younger kids to the pool deck, then the whole group converges for dinner at one of the on-site restaurants. It suits a family treating the water park as one stop on a longer Lake Erie stay rather than the sole focus of the trip.

- Waterfront setting
- On-site restaurants
Our take
This is the strongest pick on the list for a multigenerational group, since the golf course and marina give non-water-park members of the family something to do while others head to Cedar Point Shores. The pools and restaurants round out a resort-style stay. It sits further from the gates than Hotel Breakers, so budget extra drive time on park days.
- ✓Book tee times or marina access ahead if golf or boating is part of the plan alongside the water park days.
- ✓Use the on-site restaurants for at least one dinner to avoid a drive back from Cedar Point after a long day.
- ✓Reserve well ahead for peak summer weeks, since this resort draws both golf and water park travelers at once.

Why guests love itSawmill Creek by Cedar Point Resorts is the stay I would choose for a multigenerational trip: grandparents can spend a morning on the golf course or at the marina while parents take younger children to the pools, and everyone meets for dinner at one of the on-site restaurants. The Lake Erie waterfront makes a calm base, but it sits further from the gates than Hotel Breakers, so allow extra drive time on Cedar Point Shores days.
